It's just far too short, there doesn't seem to be a great deal of post game content and I personally am not that keen on the region at all, zipping between 4 really small islands. Replacing Gyms with Trials was also a step back and while I liked a number of the new critters and the addition of Z crystal moves - the story and the region where both a let down. This game seems very short when compared to most other entries in the series. As far as EV training and breeding goes, I think it was done better in ORAS, ORAS has a better egg hatching strip, I much prefer hoard battles to the frankly annoying SOS battle system and in a big design fault there is practically nowhere decent to EV train special attack in Pokémon Sun xD You REALLY need the power band/ankle type items to be able to train effectively in this game.
Think I disagree with almost everything said here, coming from a completely different angle. This is the first pokemon game I've played since Silver (I had platinum and played it for an hour before giving up as it completely failed to grab me) and I have loved it. It feels so fresh, in large part due to the island and non-gym structure, and at 35 hours till the elite four (currently at 40 in post game) it felt like the perfect length - I'm just starting to lose momentum now I've hit the post game, so I'm hopeful there will be just enough extra content for me to finish and feel done.
As for the bolded, I'm not sure you can call something that only impacts EV training a big design fault, when the entire concept of EV training is something the vast majority of players will never even touch.

It keeps healing itself, it's ridiculous. I have no moves that take more damage than it can regenerate back every turn. I thought the whole game was a breeze until this point but I've hit a brick wall here.
I had this problem, but I just kept going until it ran out of PP
