>>21764350>if they removed the HMs would that help you like it a bit moreYeah, I'd like every pokemon a lot more. Like, a lot more.
As for problems I have with the map, it has been a while, and I certainly don't have all of the locations memorized, so I'm not sure how accurate my descriptions are. Some kind of bridge/underground cave from lilycove to mossdeep would be great. The entire area between below mossdeep was a mess, and I wish they would at least add a few islands to give you a breather. Even if it was just a floating pokemart to buy more repels.
I fucking hated how you didn't get the fly HM until like, 6 gyms in. The gym that gives you strength would have been a fantastic placement for fly, because you don't even need strength until after the 6th gym and fly early on would reduce that backtracking to petalburg nonsense. There were several routes I remember that just had one random river running through it whcih was annoying, because when I prepare for a land route, I shouldn't have to also bring a surfer for 2 tiles of water. There was that area under mt Pyre if I remember correctly, where if you decide to explore south, you end up jumping over some ledge of no return and have to backtrack through two routes of trainers in a giant circle to get back to that tree city. That area under meteor falls where again, jumping over a ledge forces you to backtrack halfway across the map as it lands you in rustboro I believe.
