>>55926686>Why would there be dangerous Pokemon in a short path connecting two towns?Why are you pretending like it being a short path between two towns is a given aspect the devs had no agency over, with other details having to revolve around that? It IS the thing we're arguing about, and leaving your hometown should be dangerous, risky, and adventurous. You still did not refute this.
>making a route better doesn't improve the gameExplain yourself.
>the argument was addressedBy me, yes. I already addressed your comment about its whole purpose supposedly being to show 3D camera movement.
>NoYes. Almost all routes in Gen 5 still had more than two connections to other areas and Mega Routes were still a thing like Route 13 and 23. Back when Route 1 unlocked a backtrack later in the game to two sizable routes and an item to catch a postgame legendary.
But yeah sure, Kalos route one with no grass and muh camera movement shittier than Skyarrow Bridge is peak routes amirite?
>the region is a lineNice cope. Meanwhile, Kalos has even MORE strictly linear progression with less optional backtracks and sidetracks, while also have fewer total locations to explore. Heck, it even loops you to Lumiose twice for a badge to give the illusion of interconnectedness.
