>>55042695Bro, this game was more linear than Unova ever was. Wild Area barely counts as open-world, it's just one huge meaningless safari zone that gets overshadowed by DLC in terms of pokemon variety.
It was nice being able to catch trade evolution pokemon for once, and acquiring different TMs through raids, but that doesn't balance out the rest of the game being horrible. Overall region was still a mess, worldbuilding sucked and the routes themselves were the worst part, it was an insane amount of linearity.
