>>57980467There's like 5 abnormally small maps in all of Unova, the fuck are you on about? Hoenn has about as many (even if most of them are extremely early in the game where they're almost appropriate, or are weird lore areas), and Kalos has a bunch (with worse justification), and both of the above examples are way less packed with content than the Unova examples. Unova Route 5 is an embarrassment in Unova, but is probably the best worst route in the game in the franchise as weird as that statement sounds. On a macro level that's definitely not true, almost every dungeon in the game has multiple maps and most routes are reasonably sized (they're no Hoenn 119, unfortunately, but they're also fortunately not Hoenn endgame water routes). Hell, going back to Kalos, their biggest map is big for a gimmick that doesn't even work if you get on your bike and is largely barren outside of a few items scattered around the periphery.
