I think the thing I dislike most about Sun and Moon are the Pokemon designs. I find the majority of them to be absolutely atrocious, to be honest. Their colors have this unpleasant playdohesque vibe, not helped by their extreme cartooniness and excessively exaggerated shapes. They look more like toys than breathing creatures. And then there are the Alolan forms, which are just jokes. Alolan Persian, Exeggutor, and Dugtrio look like they're just supposed to be living punchlines and memes. I'm not really too fond of jokey designs, as I come into Pokemon for majestic and elegant creatures. With such a small number, it really was difficult for me to find six of them I actually liked for my team. (At least it kind of makes up for it with my new favorite Pokemon of all time, Primarina.)
Oh and I don't like the normal and trainer battle music. They just don't pump me up for battle and just sound too cheerful and calm.
One thing that I also found pretty painful was the inability for my character to really respond or have any sort of facial reaction to the events at all. It just ruined a lot of the immersion, particularly when I enjoyed the characterization and story so much in these games. There were too many times where I wanted to respond to Lillie, or at least have my character show SOME kind of emotion, and they just continue to have that creepy vacant smile like 90% of the time.
Lastly...
But that's it, really. I found these games to be fantastic otherwise.

Mohn. Seriously, what the hell is up with this guy? He's just... on some random islands helping out my PC Pokemon, when he's the husband of Lusamine and Lillie/Gladion's father? I find this whole thing to be both ridiculous and irritating.
