>>57783543>adding a dozen roadblocks to the game to arbitrarily force you to access the maps after the credits only isn't valuable1. Almost every game does this, and I was never bothered by it
2. Even if the roadblocks didn't exist and you could access those extra areas, those gens would still have more overall content.
>gen 6 has contests, secret bases, trainer customization, super training, amie, ribbon collecting, pokeradar, fish chaining, and berry farming while gen 5 has literally none of thisGen 5 has a lot actually. Like PWT, Hidden Grottoes, dialogue and music changes based on various conditions, multiple legendaries with side quests that actually make sense, Entralink and missions, Pokéstar Studios, Join Avenue, tons of boss trainers (many rematchable), a lot of side quests, including one of my personal favorites, the lost item side quest.......and a lot more.
>none of the 3d games have less exploration than gen 5It's hard to really quantify what exploration actually is. Once we've agreed on a definition, we can compare the two and see for ourselves.
