>>33888482This "maze" is like the exact reason why I unironically prefer "Neo-Kanto" to Genwun Kanto.
It was completely free of such shitty and autistic obstacles, making the region feel smoother and more comfy. Yeah, it also felt empty and rundown because of closed facilities, but this had nothing to do with those idiotic obstacles. HGSS did Neo-Kanto justice by adding more stuff to it while keeping the overall feel. But unfortunately they did restore some of that shit (like making Route 20 blocked again or bringing back Surge's trashcan shit - just why, fuckin' why?).
