>>55346017>Too much waterOnly true for the last 2 badges and even then it's not really the amount of water that's a problem, more the lack of variety of water mons, the fact that they have few weaknesses, that (in RS) some will be overleveled thus break through repels, and how confusing these water routes are due to the lack of recognizable elements and proper road blocks. Hoenn actually doesn't have that much water
>Too many HMsMore like too many weak HMs too late into the game. 20 bp rock smash, non-offensive flash and "surf but worse" waterfall are all required for victory road which is stupid. Fly is also mid in gen 3. Strength and Surf are amazing, Cut is shit but you can ditch it as long as you get the move deleter, Dive is pretty bad but you can ditch it once you're done with that part of the story
