>>40142069You don't even have to go back to 2003 for good route design, Gen 4 and 5 also had it, hell, even Kalos had a routes that weren't terrible barring shit like the meme route 1 and the barren wasteland (Not as good as 3/4/5 but not terrible). Alola could have improved on routes in 3D but instead they didn't even fucking bother and Galar looks to be the same disaster.
Goodbye, exploration in Pokemon. We knew you well.
