>>37104814What about any of that is truly inherent to the idea of a video game character actually being present in the world rather than randomly popping out of crude grass squares with no warning? My dream route is a real highway stuffed to the brim with trainers and hazards that encourage you to take trails and other side routes through dense pokémon habitats and interesting hidden/unmarked areas with a mix of overworld and random encounters depending on what model makes the most sense, some of which are certainly avoidable if you are sneaky enough, have enough repels or have a strong enough team.
I hardly care for big flat empty spaces either, which is part of the reason I dislike random encounters to begin with because it just makes routes and dungeons feel more empty and lifeless as the sparse fields of nothingness you're talking about do as well.
>they begin to become a major annoyance and extremely tediousSo, like the current system then? I don't see how I'm getting a worse deal, here. At least I can actually pick and choose my battles, and even *find* something instead of just spinning around in a circle until it falls in my lap when the RNG rolls the right number.
>>37104853>What about the genwunners they're pandering to?What about them? I don't care about any of that bullshit and nothing I've said thus far is intended to indicate otherwise. Limiting LGPE to the 151 only is probably my least favorite part of those games, bar none.
Maybe I'm just tired of "pandering" in general, and I want Game Freak to make a fucking game instead of sucking cock and encouraging a stupid false dichotomy of hyper-casuals versus hyper-autists that are both retarded and have shitty taste.
