I am glad you like the idea though, I feel like Exploration should be increased in pokemon games since the intention is to discover the region in all it's glory, and I look upon gens 3-4 fondly for this very reason. All those little unnecessary Areas being discovered for the first time when I was young was elating, Hoenn had a lot of places you had no REAL reason to go to except for exploring, and the Sevii isles were packed with little nooks and crannies to explore. DPPt and HGSS also had these qualities but not to the extent RSE did, still had a bunch of places you had no true reason to go for exploration purposes. They kinda shied away from this the last two gens, however (though bw2 did OKAY on this at least. I felt like it was dumb they removed certain places like old victory road and that cave south near the 8th gym with the strong trainers. Gen 6 was sadly liner handholding to the max with only a few fun places to explore. I feel like exploration of the unknown is something the franchise really needs to get back too, because it's things like 3 months into playing and finding a brand new cave you've never even knew was there is what keeps a game fresh and exciting to play.
