>>41239697>>41239816>>41239836>>41239933You guys basically summed up the reasons why I love surf exploration so much. It was especially wonderful in Hoenn IMO, since there were so many new areas that were available after getting the HM. New Mauville, Abandoned Ship, a fair few rare items and new TMs, and a fuckton of stronger trainers to battle.
Sinnoh also had a bunch of new areas that you didn't even know existed before. I remember being completely stunned when I stumbled upon Fuego Ironworks, then heading down south from there and discovering the secret part of Floaroma Meadow. When it comes to Surf exploration, Gens III, IV, and V nailed it.
