>some bits of older games had more interesting designs when going through themYou mean like Sword and Shield?

>2. The Wild Area isn't a routeSo? It's still a part of the game. If it was called "Route 11" would you suddenly suck its dick more?
>3. You put the Rotom Rally (which is a storyless sidequest/grinding bit)Just like diving in BW. Congrats, you understood the point of my analogy.
