U wish they had filled the world with actual points of interest, rather than copied towers and generic ruins in a bleak grassland/desert/mountains.
I wish they added moving NPCs in the open world to at least make it look somewhat lived in. Now there's just idling NPCs randomly scattered around the world waiting for you to initiate a battle. Hell, they could even give sidequests to add some initiative to talk to them.
Seeing pokemon in the overworld is fun, being able to scout out the pokemon you're looking for instead of having to sift through random battles.
However the way they handle spawning pokemon is fucking stupid. Pokemon spawn in a circle formation with the possibility of a different pokemon spawning in the middle. It then takes a few seconds for the pokemon to start doing their random path bullshit. It makes them look so robotic and soulless.
All in all it's just an empty dead world
