You do realize the show's written by basically the same people who did XY, right? All the usual suspects are right there: Atsuhiro Tomioka, Shouji Yonemura, Akemi Omode... Even Aya Matsui who's done the episode of Serena dressing as Ash (which seems a fan favorite). There was Shinzo Fujita as well (he's done the Malamar arc not to mention the Mirage Mastermind special too).
And those are the ones I remember from the top of my head. Bet there's more as well.
If their work doesn't feel up to par with their past stuff, that might be the director's fault since he is the one who makes the guidelines writers are meant to follow. If I recall the director is the same from SM which is kind of polarizing.
Anyway, I wouldn't even blame the director as the anime is just kind of following what the executives - aka the ones who call the shots - see as what constitutes the programming the target audience wants to see.
Still, I think the writers would do a fine work if - and that's a big if - Serena shows up.
