Y’know, this bugged me since I first played Sword/Shield... The Wild area feels more like an enclosed park than a *true* wild area, as made evident by Motostoke’s and Hammerlocke’s main gates located literally on the Wild Area and not routes to other cities.
That, and the place feels too open and barren, almost like it’s being prepared for urban expansion or something. Like, cool, the dominant Pokémon are stomping around in their territory, but what even exists in said territory besides a lone Berry Tree?
And the weather system’s weird. They should’ve just segmented the Wild Area into cells to replace routes and attribute specific biomes to each one.
