How do we improve exploration, /vp/?
There is so much potential in the pokémon world but most of it is a bunch of corridors or at best what's being posted itt. But there is barely any incentive for returning to any route.
How can GameFreak make traveling more enjoyable?
Following Pokémon, Amie and Camping for sure should always return, they can help with immersion.
Overworld encounters too, also pokémon in the background.
I'm also thinking about hidden grottoes, berry soil, honey trees, berry tree encounters, tree headbutts, secret bases...
Maybe they should find a way to integrate HM/PokéRide too without making it annoying. One should find optional paths if your pokémon can open new ways.
Also seasons, daily and hour events, swarms and climate changes like in Wild Area.
Would all of this in a single game make exploration and revisiting the world enjoyable?
