It's kinda annoying how there's almost no modern Pokemon game that has a new region and a slightly fresher feel, AND is full of good content

Every game is compromised in some obvious way. So ORAS and HGSS have a hell of a lot of content but they're remakes. BW2 is a sequel that reuses almost the entire region. XY is almost laughably by-the-numbers (I still like it because Pokemon is generally fun for me, but apart from the graphical upgrade/new region it's a very basic Pokemon game). SM is missing a lot and USUM fixes that by adding some good content, but has the same problem BW2 has.

BW is the last great Pokemon game, but BW2 added so much good stuff that going back to BW is a little frustrating in some ways (BW2's bigger region and postgame, Join Avenue, Black Tower, "would you like to use another repel?" - aka the greatest QoL change in history).

Sounds like this is almost the same as XY, which is annoying because I thought that by using LGPE as a trial-run they'd be able to make a longer-lasting experience here. I imagine the third or fourth Switch game they release will have a really good amount of content but by then it'll no longer feel fresh and exciting to have a home console Pokemon game, and it'll likely reuse a region too (whether it's Sinnoh or like BroadSword and KiteShield or something).

I still like it but I'd really like that one Pokemon game that's both a new region w/ new Pokemon and story, and also has all the stuff.
