I went to Cinnabar from Fuchsia City when I was younger. It takes a bit longer but is definitely more adventurous.
As far as the other things go...eh, people play the games how they want to. If they're having fun, that's all that matters, right? You can offer suggestions and tips to people but you shouldn't be bugged if they don't take it.
In the end, it doesn't really matter, does it?
