It does NOT require the zoomer western empty squares. Small content filled squares with a proper level flag system attached to the badges would work perfectly fine.
Games like BotW make sense. It was basically what the original game would've been had the tech been there. If you like the first one you almost certainly like BotW. It also, most importantly had a post apocalyptic element to it. A big empty world makes sense, especially with all of the lore they had to draw on to put things in to find as references to the rest of the series.
Pokémon would never make sense that way because even if it was post apoc, that by default would be a shitty Pokémon game. At least if it were main series. Side series, fine but not the main series.
