>>51611410Not really, there's three options for how it would play out
>It's the same level it is now or similarly high level, so you can either get overlevelled or catch an overleveled Pokemon, triviallizing the game>It's about the same level as the rest of the game, which due to EXP scaling will probably put you over the level curve a little too much given the sheer amount of map space, making the game easier without much major payoff>It goes the Gen 2 route and keeps it extremely low level like the original games, at which point it's a retread with maybe a slightly expanded Pokemon pool but is otherwise unremarkableI feel the way it is now, recontextualizing an early game area into an endgame one, is perfectly fine if not super amazing. My only complaint is that putting breeding in the postgame exclusively is kinda shitty, didn't really like that in FRLG either, but maybe route 3 was a little early for it in the first place I dunno.
