>>50230964Are you braindead? OP wants a well designed open world Pokémon game. Something not even on the level of say a game like Elden Ring, that's too much to ask, something just like your typical AA JRPG of the last decade. PLA feels like a fucking unfinished Unity terrain.

>There’s no inbetween.Yes, there is, retard. Many, many games are something in between. But anyway, Pokémon must be open world.
>Why would I want to play a game padded out with pointless filler shit?Then remove wild combat too, you know... just remove everything. Why not sell an empty box without even a cartridge? Instead, how about design good trainer battles? You now, this is a JRPG. Usually JRPGs have bosses (gym leaders) and mid-bosses (that could be battles against challenging trainers). You know, because the ultimate goal of building a team is to battle.
Seriously, no wonder the IP is in this deplorable state with this kind of stupid fanbase.
