>>48537439I didn't say that, I know it's zoned. But I alson know that's an organic evolution of what they'd done with the DLC for Sword and Shield, which started all this shit by including an open, free camera area in the middle of the fixed route/camera set-up of old.
And frankly I'm okay with that. Game Freak will never go true open-world, DP proved they need to herd kids to the finish line or they'll hear about it from parents and at this stage, the whole thing's too big to risk kids not buying in, so will play it safe with that regard, meaning regardless how big the zones get they'll still exist to ensure little Timmy hits the plot points to progress.
