>>41629743You really can't remove anything else without touching the battle system. Sword and shield has pretty much scrapped every past feature. I would say either gyms/anything similar leave altogether or this time there's just no post game. At all. Once you beat the final boss you get a cutscene and the game boots you back to your last save point, BOTW style
And, even better, the next region is all geographically the same. No desert, cold, underwater, mountains, or cave areas or anything different. The whole region is just the same grassy plains copy pasted
>at the end of the day pokemon is a kids game. Don't expect there to be some huge exploration dude.>>41629955I could unironically see this happening
