>>55116569>If the game is linear then there will be Pokemon that are only obtainable near the end of the gameThis happens with literally every Pokemon game, you fool.
>the game is filled with retarded shit like Deino/Pawniard/Mienfoo/Rufflet which evolve at absurdly high levelsThat’s irrelevant right now because it has nothing to do with linearity. But the high levels for some Pokemon is one complaint I’ve always had about Gen 5.
>If I want to replay SV I can go in dozens of different orders of gyms/bases/titansCherry-picking. That’s because SV is open world. You don’t have that level of freedom with the other games.
Also, I’m not sure if this is true, but I’ve heard SV locks everything’s levels instead of making enemies level with you, which means you’re essentially railroaded into a certain order, unless you want to grind for levels for the higher-level parts of the game and then be terribly overleveled for the other parts. But again, not sure if that’s true.
>And how the fuck am I supposed to do that if every single time I replay BW I can’t use something like Bisharp or MandibuzzOnce again, the same thing applies to literally every game in the series. I want to use Sneasel in GS, but I can’t because it’s available in the very last zone. Or I want to use Crabominable in SM but I can’t because it can only evolve in Victory Road. And so on.
>You still haven’t actually explained why open world is bad btw.I never said it was bad, you idiot.
