>>28595967Make a much larger world. Don't just have a one route-one landmark-next town formula. Let there be more caves/forests to explore. Instead of one little area to explore when getting to a town, have there be 4-5 things opened up with either tough trainers, exotic Pokemon, or actual story happening. XY did a story in the bare bones world GF makes, and it was very underwhelming. To be fair, it was their first dive into 3D so of course they weren't going to make it huge.
They tried really hard with the Delta Episode, but zipping back to Rustboro every time felt tedious. And Zinnia's "quirky, exuberant, mysterious" personality really didn't translate well. Maybe get competent writers/ someone at the top to admit they shouldn't be controlling the story as much as they were.
I'm excited to see what they can do in S/M. Breaking out of the restrictive 8 gym formula gives them a lot more ideas to play with.
