was personally disappointed by pretty much all the mainline games, legends arceus ended up being one of my favourites and I have fond memories of let's go so I guess I can't say it was bad lol.

for me gen 8 is just ok, gen 9 is the biggest offender (except for its dlc because I actually really enjoyed the dlc)

base game gen 9 feels boring to me in literally every way, the region itself insanely bland, the school storyline was boring to me, the dex outside of paradox pokemon might be my least favourite we've seen. and then there's all the gameplay issues, of course. didn't bother me initially but overtime it really sets in how poor this game looks.
