Anyway, open world sucks because there's no sense of progression. Sure, I can skip ahead to do the harder battles first, but then that just makes the earliest battles easier. I was overleveled at the first gym without even trying. This game needed level scaling or something.
>Wrong, every area has their own personalitySome places LOOK interesting, but they don't HAVE anything interesting in them. Having every useful item and tm be scattered randomly instead of in hard to reach spot is exactly the fucking problem. No place is memorable. Especially the towns.
>How is that a fucking problem?Final evolutions need to feel earned. That's the whole point of the game, to raise and grow your Pokémon.
Third stage and anything that isn't a level up should never be catchable in the wild, because it makes them feel actually special and earned. Yeah, there were rare cases in earlier gens, but they were rare, not the fucking standard, and not in the same area where you catch the first stage for the first time.
