>For example, the short Route 1 has a side area via surf taking you to two additional routes which stuff to doYou mean like how Route 6 in Kalos has two side areas with stuff to do? Or how Route 15 in Kalos branches off to Route 16 which is completely optional and has stuff to do? Or how Route 7 in Kalos has the Battle Chateau which is optional and has stuff to do?
>Route 4 has the Desert ResortMandatory in the story so this is meaningless.
>Route 6 has Mistralton CaveDoesn't mean much when the entire rest of Route 6 is simple and linear.
>Route 8 has the Moor of IcirrusDoesn't mean much when the entire rest of Route 8 is simple and linear.
