>>41071397I can't into the open world design. It completely strips the fun and intricacy of level design from routes, does away completely with the sense of mystique from tall grass (and Shinies, in a roundabout way) and replaces it with a flat, featureless, boring expanse of nothing. It's not like I've played these games in a decade anyway, but even watching a playthrough just makes traversing the region seem mind-numbing, compounded by the ludicrous performance issues and glitches.
