>>55103275>No concrete argumentNo worries anon, I'll help you out. Let's compare two Kalos routes for this.
>smallCompare Route 11 is and Route 7. This part is self-explanatory, smaller = less content. Route 7 is larger and has more stuff to do.
>boringNow compare Route 7 to 4. They are both linear, but route 4 is more interactive because of the hedge maze. When something is boring it's usually because it doesn't have much interaction. Pokemon solves this by adding twists and turns and ledges. Route 5 is also a good example of a non-boring Kalos route, with all its ledges and turns.
>nothing interestingFor this one let's look at routes 15 and 16. Not only do they have all those turns and ledges but also a dungeon that spans both of them, and some surfing areas too. Compared to Route 17, that only has twists and turns, with only items to reward you for exploration. Having a dungeon and variable terrain with its own pokemon makes a route interesting, and in some cases like 15 and 16, expanding upon one route with another also helps, and is a trick pokemon has used in other games too.
