Which annoys you more: paths being blocked by arbitrary obstacles that you need an HM later to proceed, or path being blocked by obstacles that just won't move?

blocked by people, I mean. Though in this case the person is an obstacle

Arbitrary obstacles. I fucking hate how Cut trees are this small piece of shit, it was fine for the earlier games but they should've made them bigger to have them look like an obstacle. Something like pic related would be better.

The later. The former works because it gives your obstacle a more natural context, and aids in your sense of progression when you overcome it.

Both. Just let me progress though the entire region on my own pace. I don't mind running into trainers with level 50+ Pokémon or super strong wild ones while I only have a team of level 20-ish shitters. Those are more natural obastacles and makes for a fun game.

Both are awful, and being self aware just makes it worse. I don't get arbitrarily stopped when i'm trying to cross a bridge by some random pedestrian, and there's no reason why you can't just break those rocks with basically any pokemon's attack.

both are better than SM's decision to make an already tiny region split into 4 linear islands

HMs are paths being blocked by arbitrary obstacles that also ruin your team comp.
So I hate HMs more.

This road block was pretty funny. That dog and its trainer in gen 7 needed to fuck off.

Then you'd suddenly find yourself facing Lv. 40 Pokemon when your team is barely half that level.

What's wrong with that? Apart from the fact that you could potentially have players catching those Pokémon and being able to obliterate the early game with them, I don't see what the problem is.

Neither bother me. The blockages could be better integrated into the world, but Even as random annoyances I'm fine with them.

It'd be nice if the badge requirement for obedience affected all pokemon and not just traded ones, in this sense. Alternatively, any route that you're intended to enter later could have a mandatory trainer battle before any accessible tall grass.

I like this idea a lot.
You could make a trainer class with overlevelled pokemon that specifically blocks some routes the player shouldn't be at. If the player manages to beat them then he can explore the area and catch the pokemon there, even if the story don't progress until the player does what he was supposed to do

This is a feature I want if they ever implement a proper hard mode.

I'm okay with both forms of roadblocks but this one and the Psyduck in Gen IV literally triggered me beyond any and all means. This one especially since they openly admit that it makes no fucking sense

Natural obstacles that you need HMs for are much better. They're not as dumb and nonsensical and forced as shit like that, the RageCandyBar guy in Mahogany, Psyduck in DPP, Trial Gates, etc.

My favorite was Alola Route 12 where an NPC would block you from moving forward until you completed a Trial then when they finally move the path is blocked with the rough rocks you need the dumb fuck horse to pass.
