The beautiful thing about Pretty Cure is that there is a wide variety of different content for a wide variety of tastes. One person's least favorite season may be another person's most favorite. While I do hear more about Doki Doki and Kira Kira not being good, it's far from the whole fandom that thinks that. I've only watched a bit of these two (3 episodes of Doki Doki, 11 episodes of Kira Kira), but so far, I really like them. In fact, I like all of the seasons I've seen.

The main criticism I've seen of Doki Doki is that its protagonist, Aida Mana/Cure Heart, hogs the spotlight and achieves all of the accomplishments, leaving her teammates starving for screentime. I haven't seen this aspect of the show yet, but I have read that while Cure Heart gets two form changes, Engage Mode and Parthenon Mode, the other Cures don't get any. Plus, the attack Lovely Straight Flush, which is supposed to be a group attack, is basically just a Cure Heart attack with the other Cures giving her their power. She even says the attack name by herself. Another criticism of Doki Doki is the fifth Cure, but to go into that would be a huge spoiler

The main criticism of Kira Kira that I've seen is that it lacks the physical combat the series is known for, replacing it with the Pretty Cures fighting with whipped cream. Another major complaint people have has to do with the characters Julio and Pekorin, but to go into this would also be a huge spoiler.

Hopefully this enables you to understand other users better. Remember that your opinion on the series is just as valid as every other fan's, and that one of the beautiful things about Pretty Cure is that its fanbase is just as diverse as its content.
