Did the "too much water" meme in RSE/ORAS really kill the chance of explorable open (and not so open) water areas in future games?
I mean, we had Alola based on fucking Hawaii of all things and the ocean areas were minimum.

I doubt it because they openly make fun of it in the next games

No, children/women (aka fans of pokemon) are too smooth-brained to spend time on video games that aren't quick and easy to pick up and play on their phones. The majority of pokemon fans that will actually buy a pokemon game don't care about investing any time or energy to a mediocre RPG, they just want the quick dopamine hit provided by sporadic fanfares and colorful animations.

I'd hope not. Too much water isn't the problem, it's that the sea routes are just boring to traverse. Not much in the way of obstacles, it's visually all the same, music is just the surfing music, pokemon variety is limited to water types. It's like this in every pokemon game.
You could simply find a way to make it more interesting and people won't mind it as much. The underwater sections are a good example of mixing it up.

In Hoenn's case there were multiple places to dive and small stretches of land to rest on here and there. The island hopping feel came through I think. Unlike on land there was no visible path forward so it removes your sense of direction, and it's a rare thing in games but it's satisfying as hell to feel like you're truly island hopping with no immediate objective other than to get lost in it. Takes your mind off of a lot of other shit in life in the moment.

God I would kill for even a few optional underwater routes were your character and the other trainers on the routes wear some kind of scuba gear.

Water part of Hoenn was pretty great.
The problem was that you had to stop exploring it every few steps because of encounters.
If encounters in those specific places would be reduced to 1/5 or maybe 1/10 of original it would be a fucking gold.

Your character wears goggles and a small rebreather thing but that isn't enough to satisfy me.
