Hawlucha and Incineroar not making a wrestling duo
That would be boring and predictable

Not thinking twice!
moreso than having a bunch of generic interchangeable one-off characters you'll never see again? I'm not against the concept of CotDs, but Pokemon's are barely ever good after gen 1, with a few exceptions.
To be fair even with XY's heavier tone, the Emma story may have been a bit too much for the anime to doIts a great postgame plot with a cool new enemy.
Yes, it would’ve been more boring snd monotonous.
Not to mention a complete waste of an adventure.
It’s my biggest gripe with DP: too many recurring characters. It hardly even felt like Ash accomplished anything because he kept fighting the same people over and over again.

The Guardian of War
Ugh didn’t give Alder and Cynthia a battle during BW. It would have been our first time seen Champion vs Champion plus they had an interesting dynamic
Not giving Ash another Pokémon that actually replaced Goodra
Didn’t give us AG-DP Contests (assuming they exist since Dawn never called them Contests Speculators like Serena did) instead of teasing it in her first episode.
Using Zinnia nowhere in the story despite possibly being involved included in the Zygrade issue as reason why she’s there.
URS probably would have been better than the Ultra Guardians tbh

Tbf, Team Flares in the anime was infinitely better than the one in the games.

Arooo!
Yeah learning more about game characters and seeing the anime’s approach to the their personalities and who they are is boring and predictable.
Forgettable, rinse and repeat COTDs is what’s boring and predictable.

I mean Game Lysandre's plan was "imma make this world beautiful again by committing genocide and only the rich and greedy will survive"

Games Lysandre was just as silly, with the difference that in the anime we had a colossal battle royale involving every gym leader, the major characters, two champions, Alain, Ash, and 100% Zygarde going all-out, while in the games we had... Uh, that.
I have to say I can kinda take the games silliness since it was at least somewhat intentional. They actually made fun of how pretentious and grandoise Team Flare were supposed to be (heck it even shows in their name), while the anime wanted you to take them perfectly straight faced.
I also feel a bit like the anime's big epic face off was undermined by the fact that as soon as the legendary of the plot stopped being suicidally petulant it just sighed "Fiiiiine...", got up and pinky flicked the threat away like it was absolutely nothing, meaning the whole time there weren't really any stakes.

I get where you're coming from, but the entire conflict was about Squishy or whatever that green slime was called talking to Megazord to pleasy please not destroy the entire world, which is where Bonnie's importance comes in for the arc. So there were definitely stakes, but they were mostly put aside for the classic trope of a little kid with a demon that can destroy the world by saving everything lol

Liko>>>>>Ash
Lillie should have battled more, caught another Pokemon like Alola Sandshrew or as Clefairy, and she should have beaten Gladion and Ash in the League.

I still would prefer the dude Darth Sidious'd Alain's easily-manipulated self and caused a crisis on that level with two champions barely being enough to take him down over Game Lysandre, the anime plot just felt much more engaging for TF, which is obvious since the anime will have viewers focus more on the engagement than gameplay

I will give you that, Alain could get manipulated by his own Charizard with how that dude acts
You’re able to be more flexible with OCs.
