Yeah I would agree with that. For me some of my favorite parts of the first two pokemon games were taking new routes in new playthroughs. G/S let you take on the last few gyms in any order, same with red and blue. Heck I didn't even know you could get the silph scope from giovanni until post game on my first play through.

The remakes took away all the freedom in both cases, although Kanto is still mostly free in hg/ss.

I kind of understand why they do it, Kanto and B/W post game let you explore big swaths of areas with complete freedom and its a little overwhelming and hard as a player to organize. The lizard brain always wants to see the next route/town but if you go through everything too fast its hard to keep track of what you should backtrack to do.
