It's better to do segmented areas like monsterhunter, where you can pretend it's open world.
I think Legends arceus is probably the better way to do it, where you have 5-10 big open map areas, that way you don't have to do shit like having a snowy mountain right next to the sea. Really focus on whats supposed to be here, actualy design a map instead of throwing assets onto a free unity map and calling it a day.
I think SV probably has one of the worst maps in any pokemon game (excluding dlc)
the second your pokemon can climb you just press forward and climb over every obstacle, if they want to do something like this again they need to find a way to fix that.
I think i'd let trainers climb and swim on their own with a stamina bar, since they're already doing the BOTW shit, and just give pokemon longer stamina bars.
