Open world is by a long shot one of the most baffling choices I’ve ever seen for a Pokémon game. There’s no point doing open world without level scaling. Doesn’t do the game any favours that the map is so lacklustre, there’s literally no reward for exploration.
Also would’ve been better for the story to do a linear game. You could have Arven, Penny and Nemona all help each other over the course of the game, so that the team up of all three at the end feels more natural and warranted.
I could literally write an essay on how much Scarlet and Violet upset me. Highest grossing franchise on earth and it can’t even put out an acceptable game.
