>>44497462> do people really hate Galar that much?It's really that bad, Wild Area is bad and doesn't make up for low Route Count and piss-poor dungeons, Johto's probably got the best region out of the series atm since every other region has some issue;
Kanto - Johto's more so just a refinement of Kanto, cutting out a lot of the bad elements from Kanto and maximizing on the good elements.
Hoenn - Oceanic Routes fuck up the last quarter and what would otherwise be possibly the region to beat Johto in quality.
Sinnoh - HM usage tends to be excessive especially due to how much the region loves Rock Smash, one or two would be alright but Sinnoh has a knack for three HMs for an area to be fully explored.
Unova - The Routes and Dungeons in a vacuum would be on par if not better than Johto but the layout of the Region is terrible, Johto encourages backtracking and minimizes the need for Fly, Unova fails in this regard.
Kalos - This is actually the Region that comes the closest to matching Johto for overall quality, the only disadvantage is that while its layout is better than Unova's it's still not as good as Johto's (you especially feel this when Lysandre goes full evil and you have to go from Anistar to Lumiose and then Lumiose to Geosenge), also compared to Johto there's just less in the way of dungeons to explore.
Alola - Layout particularly on Ula'Ula & Poni is kinda weak and you effectively visit every location excluding the Post-Game specific areas and two dungeons (Ten Carat Hill & Haina Desert) and the latter of those two isn't exactly a good dungeon.
