>>41975817>Wild area can be completely explored on the first visit, with the only unlockable areas being via water bikeSo it can only be completely explored on the first visit except the areas that can't be explored on the first visit? And because it can be done on the first visit it doesn't count as exploration? Huh?
>Pokemon are the exact same all throughoutNo they aren't. The Pokemon are dependent on area and weather.
>There are no dungeonsAnd?
>optional legendary encountersAnd?
>significant rewards for explorationItems and Pokemon aren't significant rewards?
>Not an argumentYes it is.

>and "strong looking" pokemon being uncatchableThose strong looking Pokemon didn't even exist in prior games. The game being balanced isn't a bad thing.
>The only route that you can explore more is route 2Every route in the game can be "explored more."
>The wild area has huge loading issuesStop playing online.
>Max raid battles are easily exploited"Easily" exploited? The exploit can only be found by looking online, and even then, that doesn't make them buggy.
>Berries are based completely on chance and cannot be plantedMechanics you personally don't like aren't flaws.
>collectibles are a dime a dozenMechanics you personally don't like aren't flaws.
>and the pokemon themselves are scattered haphazardly throughout the map and interact with the environment very awkwardlyNo they aren't. Fairy Pokemon are found while misty terrain is up, electric and water Pokemon are found while lightning storms are up, rock and ground Pokemon are found in the desert area.
