>>48071686I like it for a few reasons; for one there's more than one route to Fuschia like in real life you often have multiple routes to a destination, and second it gives you a fast or slow option to keep going which is something I wouldn't mind implemented in other maps.
Route 12 is also legitimately nice as the dock style design and rod git encourages you to try that mechanic after all you get with the old rod is Magikarp. 13 is a distraction maze but it can be challenging is it starts whittling away your Pokemon. 14 and 15 are admittedly dull but does give a desperate feel as your Pokemon might be drained and thus you want to try and get through it as quick as possible and sneak past trainers.
If you decide to catch anything in Fuschia or after returning to this cluster makes for an easy area to level up as well.
