Killing any kind of exploration is the worst thing that came with XY and it becomes worse with every game
I was so excited to find new places when I replayed the map and used the Surf Bike....but there were like...only 3 places..and they were just a linear river with a item as a reward (well there is also the lake but still)
Words can't describe how much I am missing the feeling of getting lost in a cave, reaching deep down and finding Lugia
Or going up for Ho-Oh
BW is the last game to have non-linear exploration
