This is all bad game design. I'm glad that Game Freak wisened up and made a game that appeals to real gamers like me who don't have time to potentially get lost or lose battles. Besides, Galar is the hardest Pokémon region because Leon and Raihan are the best, so I'm a better gamer for beating them.
