My only worry is that it will focus too much on the cities and not enough on the routes/"dungeons". Exploring cities and talking to every NPC or having to remember what house the damn name rater is in is not the same as exploring the poke-wilderness. At least they try really hard to make each place interesting now... but still.
And I know pokemon games are easy, but I was playing RB recently, and I'm not really a nostalgiafag, but the challenge of getting through mt moon in one piece was really refreshing. I'd like some more difficult areas.
