>>41233072Exploration is a very loose term. What is exploration to some may not be exploration to others. If one counts using hms to backtrack and find extra items in older areas as exploration or they think that getting to an area that is midway blocked by a hm that they do not have yet is it, I do not share the same sentiment. Dungeons I see as extensions of routes and while this game does not have many, wild areas fill the void for me because of their size and variety. I have not had issues with routes because they seem rather normal thus far. I am aware that "lol hallway" is a thing for reason, but I see route as a good one if you have a reason to hunt pokemon in it for some time. But that is simply my point of view and those who miss those things and wish for more have my condolences.
