>>35137326Both the routes flanking Fortree are route design at its finest. You have some good taste, anon.
>a beautiful example of a man-made route swerving through natural river and forest formations, with several bridges spanning the water, really strikes that feeling of "humans and Pokemon living side by side" far better than bashing the player over the head with hamfisted plots and excessive cutscenes>plenty of optional areas to discover by surfing and checking out all the farthest corners that you can reach>are legitimately pretty long and grueling, make for a very satisfying feeling when you finally reach the end of the route, and forges a much stronger bond with your team by going through difficult challenges with them and feeling like you're alone in the wilderness with only them by your side>even more secret content tucked away if you come back later with HM07 or to find Feebas (Route 119), or for the Regi sidequest (Route 120)
