Everyone laughed at the IGN lady who shat on ORAS for having water but its slightly legitimate criticism. Why in the ever living fuck do I need a mandatory water mon and purposely gimping 1 or maybe even 2 of them for 3 HMS THATS REQUIRED TO EXPLORE THE REGION.
It's simple: Just bring back the exploration design without having to compromise teams you wanna run just to get to places. SuMo had it down fine and Scvi has the bike legendary to traverse with perks for you. SwSh was the only big issue but that's cause SwSh is a shitty generation with the same dumbass "appeal to casualfags" mentality.
BDSP is also dogshit but I'd argue it makes Gen 4 a lot more tolerable to play because you aren't half-assed to bring an entire toolbox when you get to Mt. Coronet, but that's a discussion for another day.
