>>25211349If I remember right, the swamp route in gen 4 was completely optional. (It didn't have any purpose other than connecting Hearthome and Pastoria, right?)
>>25211544In hindsight, Mt. Coronet was done really well. Getting to the top actually felt like an expedition that you had to prepare at least a little bit for, even after the first time. In gen 6 I honestly can't even think of a place that doesn't take longer than two or three minutes to reach.
