>>56512681I mean pokemon has always had a map, and having two screens, going 3d and abandoning the grid it makes sense they changed it this way for SM.
You can have the map on your bottom screen in gen 4 too. It's just the old-school map cause for one, the game maps are so simple you don't need it to be better.
But by Gen 7, GameFreak was assuming all players are lobotomizes 7 year Olds.
Hope you get it out and how it had nothing to do with Yokai Watch. And I even said myself they copied them, but the minimap does make sense. Of course GF would assume you would get lost somehow while on their rails.
