Would you play a pokemon rom with the gen3 base where you essentially explore a large expanse of routes similar to the wild area, where you would need to collect money to buy field moves and HMs along with having pokemon with specific abilities (e.g. Flamebody to open a door in an ice wall or Swiftswim to traverse rapids) in order to access the more remote locations of the map, all with the endgame of locating and rescuing a missing science expedition?
