>>29870367Seriously, I love Unova, but this is everything wrong with it and adding johto shit to boot.
The game guides you where you must go, it's worse than a stupid circle, the islands only give you the illusion of exploration, the moment you think you can explore at your leisure is the moment Lillie has to say something an rotom dex goes full Navi on your ass...
You said it straight, the game guides you in a very restrictive way to where you must go, you are pretty much playing a VN of best girl Lillie for 8 hours...
The bad part is that when you actually get to explore the game doesn't fucking reward you with anything. The new Pokémon are not only slow but are hidden behind obnoxious find requirements, for crying out loud, they made Dhelmise, Tokapex and the likes into Marril 2.0, honey tree Munchlax and freaking headbutt only reward.
Nearly all the Alola mons that aren't heavily outclassed by a Kanto/foreign mon are hidden between layers of bullshit.
And when all its said and done the game feels dry as hell since there are even less extra areas than in Unova HM bonuses.
