>>41521154>Broken exp system not optionalThe exp system has always been broken and never optional. There's a reason why people farmed lucky eggs, looked for what to kill specifically for the most gain and other obscure methods for that exp.
Also that share means nothing past level 50ish and post game.
>Linear and smallest region in the franchiseAlways been linear. You can't choose you own route. You have to defeat the first gym leader before tackling the next one and then you have to get items and TMs to unblock obstacles.
>3 major cities, less than any other gameYou want from wanting to explore to wanting to be confined. You already don't know what you want.
>One town is literally a pokémon center and a gymJust like every pokemon game after being done with a city I will rarely ever go back unless there's some post game reason for returning.
>10 routes, less than any other gameroutes matters so much
>No optional areas other than wild areaLike previous games? I really can't return to the starting area and magically do what I can in the post game area.
>Wild area is an empty laggy multiplayer lobbyIf it was empty it wouldn't be filled with players.
At this point you obviously know jack shit of pokemon.
