>>57494234Sinnoh is very railroaded at the beginning, it sucks. I find if you can get past that part it picks up a lot. The early routes have some optional stuff in them that you can access after getting some HMs, but ended up making them boring early. I'm not sure if this was in the originals, but I tried to go back to the honey tree after getting the bike and the game forced me to take the bike path, the NPC literally would not let me leave.
