I think every Pokémon fan has dreamed of an open-world game in the series for a long time. Many fans were disappointed with Legends: Arceus, citing empty landscapes with little to do. My counterpoint: you get to catch lots of little guys. Yes, the game is kind of a catching simulator, but yes, I thoroughly enjoy that. It can get a tad stale for me, but I had SO much fun going through the game for the first time, and I still do when I boot it up every once in awhile.
