>>33036336>17 routes are given the term "sea route" in the Japanese versionIrrelevant how they're categorized, that doesn't nullifies at all what I said in my post.
>optional content doesn't mean they're not shitty optional content that take up a sizable amount of the world mapOh, I'm not saying they're good or bad, I'm just tired of people constantly crying about water routes like the game forces you to go through ALL of them.
And despite them, Emerald still has a good postgame in the Regis puzzles and the Frontier.
And anyway, counting Mt.Pyre is retarded as fuck: it's the equivalent as counting the Sinnoh Lakes as water routes.
And believe me or not, the water routes didn't feel like a chore for everyone. After all, there are people that liked the swamp and snow routes of Sinnoh themselves.
