>>36336791People criticize the linearity of the region a lot (I also don't like it myself). But if there's something that they did right was the design of optional exploration for each zone.
Literally the first route in the game is an example of this. Surf allows you to get into the hidden half of the route, which leads to a water route reaching 2 tiny islands.
And that's the first route in the game.
BW2 tried to do something similar with route 20. Really, most of the places in the region have something secondary that you can ignore if you want, or go to explore.
I shouldn't even mention Castelia City in BW2.
>discreet Cafe>secret garden between buildings>secret alley with some delinquents>>36336408>yet there wasn't a larger influx of snowy routesI have the exact same problem with gen5.
They introduced a whole Winter season, but it only snows on the eastern part of the region (3 routes and 3 towns).
And only Icirrus and Twist Mountain get considerable changes, with Twist Mt. being just "a hole gets filled with snow".
Seriously, I would've loved a late game forest that got covered in snow.
I want more snow in the games. So far we've actually had very little of the wonderful winter climate. Not even one winter forest in the entire franchise.
OH well, have some Mt. Coronet. I actually love climbing this zone every time.
