>Mfw they're going to place roadblocks everywhere and force everyone to go through the same order, removing the only thing Kanto had going for

Could they make Kanto even more boring?

Kanto was already linear, you had to go out of your way to do things out of order

this
you had to intentionally not battle sabrina while in sapphron before going to lavender with the silph co to get the pokeflute to wake up snorlax (while not battling Erika) to get to koga.

that's like saying emerald is not linear because you don't need to beat brawly the moment you first get access to his gym

Kanto was incredibly linear what the fuck are you on about. You had to essentially go out of your way to do anything out of order and even then it was limited.

You have to really try to go out of order. And even then its not like a non linear world. You get gated pretty hard.

You couldn't fight Sabrina until after you got the flute anyway, and Sabrina was scaled to be around Koga's level so the intention was clearly you could fight them in any order. Also Erika is more or less optional you you get from her badge is level 50 obedience and use of fly outside battle which is just a time saver.

not really though, for example when you reach lavander instead of doing the pokemon tower shit to wake up the snorlax you could just go left, go through the underground and bam you have Celadon and Fucshia easily unlocked, Saffron as well if you give the drink to the guards
It's not going out of your way it's just letting the player play how it wants by not restricting him in one confined area

While it’s true that you can temporarily skip Lavender Town, you’re unlikely to not explore it when you arrive for the first time, which makes you likely to do everything “in order.” Some exploration is possible, but probably wasn’t even part of the intended design. To each their own, but I find it strange that THIS is the bastion of “choice” that people choose.

How can any player argue against more agency in an RPG that let's you pick your party? Any choice, no matter how trivial, only improves the game.

I don't get your argument. RBY are non-linear games because they let you explore the world according to your own whims and devices. Non-linear doesn't mean there isn't an end. We all beat the final boss, but it's how we got there that counts. A mark of a good game is allowing a player to express themselves through choice.

B-but some badges can be acquired in different order.

People shitting on this are absolute drooling retards. The access to multiple cities without having to do a thing first in order to go there just allows you to catch Pokémon you want that can only be found there earlier. The people shitting on this are probably the ones praising/defending SM/USM.

There definitely is an intended quest route through RBY, but you're free to do most gyms in the mid game in any order, which means you have quite a few options for putting together your team.
And if you get creative, you can sequence break a lot. Like trade a Cut mon to skip SS Anne, use the Pokedoll on the Ghost Marowak to skip the Game Corner, or even trade over a Fresh Water from Stadium 2. I'm currently battling Koga in Yellow as second gym, and my team is in the early to mid 20s.
