>>55382489This isn't a SwSh did it right comment, but it's an SV didn't do it at all complaint.
I like the combination of routes and wild area. Even if both are shit and lazy implementations, the fully open world of S/V is such a bad idea for a Pokemon game. Routes should lead from one town to another. Caves should have atleast a way in and a way out. Trainers shouldn't be optional, and if you meet their gaze you must battle.
It's crazy that they did not try to actually do this better and instead got rid of it all completely.
