Almost every mainline or remake on switch has had a significantly lower user score than critic score. Critics are often not critical enough about pokemon, but some of the fans go to the other extreme, through review bombing. It's sad to see.

I'd guess that now Eric is creative director rather than fully doing updates himself, we can hope for gaps between updates (even large ones) of 2 years or so, not as large as between 1.5 to 1.6

The series didn't feel rushed; on the contrary, it felt like a start to a universe where each of these ideas can be further developed in future spin-offs. That's not to say I wouldn't have enjoyed an extra long final episode though!
