I would, however, make an exception if they actually had something interesting.
There problem isn't REALLY the water itself but that it's always implemented in a way that makes it annoying rather than fun.
And on top of it, in Pokémon there's very little overall content. Those Route are what every route would ideally be like in a proper more open world game, but that requires there to actually be something to DO in the large relatively free to explore areas.
Instead it was, at best, just two layered blue grass that you can't run or use a bike on making it incredibly slow (unless you use a specific Pokémon but even if it wasn't even worse than HMs that was also only in OR/AS).
