>>46503745This is so fucking stupid it hurts. Now, I get it. Strictly speaking in terms of efficiency and how quickly you can collect soot, just having a few big piles is more efficient than running through every patch of grass. But who gives a fuck? It looked so much better with the old style, and running through the grass and the tiles you ran through being cleared was a cool effect. It was just a nice little thing to give the game a little more ambience.
Also, it sucks how most routes/towns (and even a lot of subsections of routes/towns) are their own world spaces that require loading screens when going between. It really breaks up the game and takes away from the open-ended and natural feel of the original Hoenn region, which you could traverse the entirety of without any screen-breaks except when entering/exiting interiors.
