An interesting plot and strong drama can improve the quality of a show, but the lack thereof won't necessarily sink it. Ditto for character development. What a particular show needs of any of these elements is dependent on what kind of show it is, and how it generates entertaining content. Smile's strengths play to different elements, so it can be perfectly enjoyable even if they're absent - it's a lot like Looney Tunes that way.

Heartcatch is better than Smile because it's better at the things that Smile is good at. It's way too early to pass any judgement on Doki Doki yet, and I hesitate to label Suite as a bad show - just uninspired. I passed on the latter because it stopped being fun.

The obvious lesson for kids is that if you're not winning a game, you should blast everything with magic powers!

True enough, but usually there are reasons why you'd call a show bad. Smile has good writing, mostly good characters, decent action, and enjoyable episodes. These point more to a show being good instead, so I can't help but wonder what those reasons are.
