>>50660881Would be far, FAR too kino for a modern pokemon game. Sadly unfitting too since as has been the case since alola, arguably kalos, the protagonists aren't really dressed to be toughing it in the outdoors.
I think older games were sorta tying into that Japanese idea of kids off playing on their own going on adventures in the woods and stuff. New games for the new era, kids have constant adult supervision, have to wear a helmet when riding a bike, etc.
