Naruto is a theme of Hoenn and having gates would probably upend that theme. That's my headcanon at least.

Because the GBA games can handle loading new graphics without them

Because gens 1-3 are the only times Game Freak wrote console appropriate code
>inb4 why gates for gens 1 and 2 then
The Game Boy was already about to explode from running the game as is. Don't think they had CPU cycles left for dynamically loading more than the few object events.
>inb4 why do FR/LG have gates then
Because they didn't bother redesigning Kanto

gates were more a workaround for limitations of hardware and not a deliberate choice, I imagine. they wanted to make a seamless open world, and Hoenn was right in that sweet spot of having good enough hardware and simple enough graphics to pull it off. I'm sure they would have done it for other generations if they could have. but the original gameboy probably wasn't strong enough, and the DS games had more complex 3D graphics.

wouldn't having gates actually strengthen the Naruto theme?
