>>40882100The Sevii islands come across more as padding than as necessarily inherently post-game content.
I mean, they moved Moltres to one of them---that's definitive proof.
I think Emerald came across better, even though there are almost no new areas to explore and only one group of non-roaming legendaries to hunt because of Battle Frontier. I've been playing BF for well over a decade, which you cannot do with the Sevii islands.
