The problem with its emptiness isn’t that there should be Pokémon everywhere but that the map is too small for how empty it is. If it were (unironically) Skyrim size minimum then the sparseness of the mons would feel better as a player.

It’s fine, you can stop making these threads now.

>make it even BIGGER
no. the areas are fine in terms of size, they just need more landmarks and interesting things to explore. caves, dungeons, ruins. this game desperately needs a Seafoam or Whirl Islands to explore. hell, put in a procedurally generated dungeon or something. it has the exact same problem as BotW. wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. fun to explore at the start, but it loses its luster quickly.

There are Pokemon everywhere you look. You are retarded.
A bigger map would be nice, but it's fine for the first entry. It's 10 times bigger than any previous Pokemon game.

How’s it empty? It’s an untamed wilderness and looks like one.
Juan Powell
This but unironically.

At this point, whenever I see someone who still criticizes the game world for being too empty, I just assume they haven’t even played the game, because if you had played the game, you would know the maps are not empty at all. There’s Pokemon pretty much everywhere, as well as materials you can gather. I have yet to come across a point in the game where I’m traveling through an area where there is absolutely nothing.

Mmmmh you're retarded OP.
The solution is definitely not to make it bigger.
And why it feels is just because each sub-area doesn't have its identity, minus the Ice-type area
It essentially feels like there's 10 places in the game, which is fewer than in classic formula.
I definitely prefer PLA to any retarded classic Pokémon game though.
Logan Fisher
They really tried to do that, to be fair. But it just won't work in the way the areas are delimited
Eli Torres
What exactly about "the way the areas are delimited" prevents them from adding something like the seafoam Islands?
