LMAO it really shows that Pokemon is all you guys play, of course i'm not saying there should't be things to unlock, i'm saying that the shit you unlock are shit and boring
Take BoTW for example, you get all your Runes at the Great Plateau and, not only they are infinitely more interesting abilities than shit like double jump or climbing, but it's a design decision that doesn't want to waste the player's time and wants him to go out and experiment, explore and have fun. That's what a good open world does.
>You shouldn't be able to easily access Glaseado Mountain or the cave before Alfornada before you're high level
Yes because the game is badly designed and still acts like the previous linear titles with 1 single obvious intended path.
>Your Raidon was traumatised, it lost most of its powers and needed to eat the Herba Mystica to restore them.
Yes it's a lazy shit plot device excuse because they didn't bother or couldn't figure out a way to make the legendary actually do cool shit so they just locked away the bare minimum of mobility available.

Traversal in SV is boring as fuck and the "exploration" is even more boring.
