What happened?
>>57184427Little Timmy got lost and started playing mobile games
>>57184427Something something Japanese children Mt Coronet
>>57184427shitlola
Same with Rock Tunnel between Gen 1 and Gen 2, which was changed because Japanese kids found it too difficulty and were having trouble getting through it. Pretty much any linearity or change to the games to make it easier was to accommodate retarded Japanese children.
>>57184427You'll buy it anyway.
>>57184436cope XYgger this shit started with Kalos
>>57184451BW actually. Masuda flat out said they'd designed to to make sure kids couldn't get confused by having more than one optional direction.
>>57184456that semplified the region layout, not the actual dungeons
>>57184456>>57184451nope, still alola
>>57184451see >>57184442This has been going on since Gen 2
>>57184480the thing is that there's a limit to everything
>>57184427You cherry picked the routes or>>57184449
>>57184493please name a good gen7+ dungeon
>>57184502No you asking the wrong question, Please name a good none linear route in gen 7+.
>>57184502>>57184509Vast Poni Canyon
>>57184502vast poni canyongalar is complete shit, and hisui and paldea are empty unity maps with 0 level designs whosoever
>>57184427Little kids got lost in Mt Coronet
>>57184516>>57184522Thanks
>>57184526>Didn't have any problem navigating coronet>Did however get lost not knowing where to get surf for like a week because I didn't remember the random patch of psyducks some towns backThey have strange priorities
>>57184442they just needed to put Flash somewhere better. I'd rather walk through Rock Tunnel blind than go all the way through Diglett's Tunnel and back. Especially in FRLG where they have Arena Trap
>>57184562>go through diglett tunnel>get murdered by dugtrios spamming slash that never really get caughtPeak pokemon
>>57184591Even without Arena Trap in RBY, they're still really fast and you probably have a 50/50 chance of running away. Combined with critical rate being based on base speed it's hell in either version. You enter for 1 minute to catch Diglett if you want it and leave
Nothing will ever compare to the gen 1 dark cave after cerulean, rock tunnel.
I thought HMs were bad?
>>57184849They are. Don't listen to these masochists who want them to return
>>57184427the one on the right is better because it doesn’t waste my time being padded with a bunch of hallways with zero gameplay except spamming random encounters of the same 2 pokemon
>>57184849adding a shitty HM roadblock that makes you press a to delete it won't make the dungeon any better
>>57184427Jap kids were filtered too hard by Mt. Coronet to the point that they got their parents to send complaint letters, so they streamlined design for Unova onward. Then mobile gaming happened, and Masuda was mindbroken, and make sure Ohmori followed in his footsteps even after he backed off from directing.
>>57184427SS > DiaperSimple as.
>>57184427Jap kids turned out to be retarded and got filtered by Mt. Coronet, so in Unova they simplified and streamlined the overall region's layout while still adding branching optional paths to different areas to reward players who strayed from the main path. Unfortunately, Unova was bashed by Pokemon fans and critics alike, so GameFreak abandoned the streamlined gameplay of Gen 5 in favor of satisfying the masses in Gen 6. This included simplifying routes and other locations further, as Masuda embraced a jaded mindset towards Pokemon's target audience and stopped trying. It influenced more than just exploration, obviously, but this is the reason for it.
>>57184906yeah soul silver is better than dppt but it's still gen 4
>>57184434>>57184456Why are japanese children so overwhelming stupid?
