>>57403161Colesseum isn't a traditional Pokémon RPG. Comparing it to the mainline serise seems a bit strange when Colesseum isn't really trying to be a normal Pokémon game. The exploration isn't much of an issue, since the game is so short in the first place (which I don't see a problem with; it's nice to have shorter experiences every once and a while). The linear structure works for Colesseums smaller scope. If we were talking about SU or X&Y, you'd have a point, but because this game isn't strictly working under the Pokémon rule-set, Colesseums allowed to craft a more tight-nit package.
Like I insinuated before, these entries deviate from the original formula, and I think they do so successfully. They're fun bite sized adventures. Not full blown Pokémon games.
>remove all the side contentBoth Colosseum games are arguably side content for RSE.
