That way you don't have the random old guy and the place isn't some locked off set of islands, that's one of the things I dislike is when dungeons or areas have no people in them when there are people all around that particular area, like the only time that should ever happen is when a Legendary Pokemon like Yveltal has just woken up and everyone ran for their lives in panic.
