>>30903470the only good point your bringing to the table is the golbat dilemma.
dead ends have items so you don't feel like you wasted your fucking time. dead ends also make you eventual success in getting thru the cave all the better. Whats the fucking point of a straight cave flavored hallway where with two trainers? may as well be another outside route. We don't even get legends or stationary pokemon waiting on the lowest levels of caves because there are no caves with various levels.
The "view newly captured pokemon/add to party option" would have been a godsend in gen 1-5 now it just seems kinda pointless along with esc ropes/dig/teleport/etc since no dungeons and everywhere is a 1 floored hallway.
