>>40150122You are right but I was only talking about the first time you go through that area and the parts you marked are only accessible after beating Flannery/Norman so I didn't focus too much on it.
I actually mentioned some of those areas briefly in my second post and how they make the world feel more connected
>Although that path in Hoenn is completely linear you get the see glimpses of future areas like the desert in Route 111 or the cable car near Mt. Chimneybut again that wasn't the focus of my arguement so I left it out.
I initially wanted to write a part about all the optional things you could do on that first trip to meteor falls like ash collecting, the Winstrate family or this rocky cliff that's accessable by bike but my post was already long enough and I didn't feel like writing any more
especially since I accidentally deleted half my post once and had to rewrite it so I left that part out.
