>>52440398When black and white came out my whole first run through I was speculatong about what new areas would come after the elite four, looking at all the optional locations on the map. The games used to be really linear and then open up massively after the elite four, it was like a freeing feeling doing this straightforward and fun adventure and then having the whole region at your disposal with all the nooks and crannies and mysterious things to do. I don't think zoomers can understand this, but it really was a magical feeling beating the game to then have so much new and interesting things to do.
