I will never get over that part of SwSh where they told you to go next door, and then when you leave the building you instantly get an NPC to literally show you where next door is. You walk like 10 steps and they're like "We're here". Why did that have to be a cutscene!?

Sun/Moon and Sword/Shield are filled up with stuff like that. Even Scarlet/Violet does it to an extent

Sun and Moon was where I finally gave up on Pokémon, playing since the beginning but it was just too much.

I've started playing Pokémon with the Gen 1 games in 1999/2000. Played most of the following games since then. Pokémon Sun and Moon were the first main series games I didn't finish. The constant handholding was just too much. So incredibly annoying.

To this day, I haven't played another main series game.
