The only reason I've seen to call Black and White linear is that the route through the game is a straight line, as opposed to RSE and DPP where you would go to different places on the map as they opened up. But all three had the same amount of actual freedom in progression, only being able to skip Brawly and Winona's gyms between the 3 of them. But they all had optional side areas to explore, which is something that's been missing in games recently.

Yeah lol. BW actually requires you to go back at times too - you need to go back to the desert resort to advance the story at least once, I think, and I want to say you go to Nacrene Museum as well?

But yeah BW is "linear" in the sense that it doesn't really have cities with multiple exits such as Saffron or Fuchsia, but it's really disingenuous to put it on SwSh's level in terms of actual gameplay linearity.
