>>48781779More like shitposters don't understand that Open World game design means having the freedom to do objectives freely and are conflating the term with sandbox world design.
BOTW is absolutely open world, and for their time, so were Gen 1/2. What OP is upset about is that Gen 7/8 are generally linear to the degree where the player doesn't even get the agency to play the game on their own that even Gens 3-6 had-- so they just say that being able to do gyms in any order since they all have similar levels in Kanto and Johto is sequence breaking even though the OP pic is what sequence breaking actually is.
