People who complain about the water in Hoenn have zero concept of delayed gratification through game design that rewards exploration.
Here you have this really well put together landmass portion of the game that is just big enough for you to trek around and go back to different areas. They wanted to extend the game without ruining that, and the solution was giving you fly and setting you on the high seas. Dive to reach new and hidden areas, poke and prod wherever you can on these routes and you’ll be rewarded with items, battles and neat secluded islets and NPC dialogue. You need to explore to find a way to level up some Pokémon through shard trading also, which is something you’ve been waiting a long time for in RSE. Hoenn has so much to offer, and does it so beautifully.
