>>29248579Don't take Gen 6's sins and extrapolate them to be a thing in every generation. As recently as Gen 5 we had gym leaders that could crush you into the dust if you weren't careful (hi Elesa and your legion of Volt Switch spammers). And gyms often had puzzles or gimmicks you had to navigate through too (especially common in later generations).
Are you people so completely sick you'd rather just have scavenger hunts or whatever will end up replacing it?
Seriously do we even know what we do in the Island Trials yet?
