i was previously complaining about not having the fly hm yet but now that i do have it i’m like ehhh whatever it’s more fun to walk and appreciate the scenery and music. i think the primary difference might be that a lot of the routes between cities are straight shots that have little to no tall grass/deep sand/caves/etc that could potentially stop me. like there are definitely some routes i’m never again gonna want to travel through just as thru traffic (*cough* route 7 *cough cough* chargestone cave) but otherwise i’m like yeah i’ll just walk over to driftveil city. yeah route 3 to the daycare is a straight shot. yeah i’ll bike across skyarrow bridge. i’ll go back and forth for fun even. i don’t want to fast travel unless it really would be that much effort otherwise

#shows good game design imo #where fast travel is a neat little fun luxury in a pinch of a situation #and not something you need to make life borderline bearable #getting around sinnoh sometimes…#it was so fun having to go all the way through multiple cave systems to get to the top of mount coronet every time #but i mean. that’s one i understand #but every other route…#meanwhile in unova i can zip along to any city rather quick #and because of this convenience venturing off the path into the grass is seen as a fun and beneficial thing to do #not a mandatory chore #do you get what i’m saying?#goldie plays pokémon black
