So, I've finished the main story.

At least I did once the school tournament thingie once. I assume now the only thing left is raids, pokédex filling and the legendaries. Wish the transfer from past games was avaliable so I could get a few veterans or at least build a new team with some pokémon who are transfer-exclusive...
I like Koraidon's role in the climatic story: I love how they set up the MC's Koraidon regaining the battle form with he being the only one you could send out to battle. Gonna say I was surprised when I saw the message of "Koraidon toughed it out so you wouldn't feel sad". Hit me into the feelings. Wasn't expecting he'd come with affection benefits but it makes sense all things considered.When I've read the leaks about there being a second Koraidon I thought that'd be the one we catch to battle with so I'm happy it wasn't the case and it's actually the one we've been hanging out with for the whole journey.
Granted, I end up finding out you can get the "dupe" Koraidon which can be traded which surprises me given they could just do as usual and have the player double dip to get a living dex.
However, one mechanic did annoy me:
So... When you unlock Koraidon's battle form, if you need the ride one again for exploring and then go back to battle form, you have to enter the menu and change it manually. That's right: say, I open a party slot, have it take on the battle form, add it to the team but if, say, I want to use the ride form to reach a certain location, it will change as normal with the + button BUT if I want to battle with it, I have to manually open the menu and activate battle form. This is way too stupid.
Why can't it work like the partner pokémon from Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee where you could box the partners but they will still be around you and their field functions would still work?
