Unless I'm missing something, the idea that Sora and Riku should relearn how to use the Keyblade through this test didn't make much sense. Yen Sid said that they needed to forget their self-taught Keyblade knowledge and learn from a Master how to use it. Well Yen Sid did not give them any instruction and essentially the whole game they self-teach themselves again how to use the Keyblade. What was the point?
Flowmotion certainly isn't a Keyblade technique since it is first demonstrated by Neku. Was the only point of this for Sora and Riku to shift to using the Command Deck system? Even so, it just seems like they spent the game self-teaching themselves how to use the Keyblade again.
If the whole point really was the Command Deck and even if we assume Sora and Riku got a crash course in its use before hand, it makes even less sense to send them on this journey that will impact the final battle with Xehanort gimped of all of their abilities.
Also, I want to believe that the severe lack of commands in this game compared to BBS is just due to the short development time the team had and not an indication of the characters' abilities. If it is the latter, Sora seems significantly weaker in this game than even in KH1 due to the loss or change of so many abilities, such as Ragnarok becoming a Dream Eater team attack and the complete loss of Zantetsuken despite him having it in some form every game.
Overall the logic of the training seems flawed as the purpose was for them to be taught by a Master the proper way to use the Keyblade, not replace their self-taught style with another self-taught style. There's nothing to indicate that they received any training before the test began and if they did, it would invalidate one of the main points of the journey as a training session.
