Thats a huge difference. I'm optimistic but careful With that feeling.
I'm a Bit worried about another Open world setting. I really hope they will make it appear more alive, as that failed big time in the Last Gen..
I agree. I like linear Pokémon. Open world, as you said, must be interesting and fun. If they achieve it with Gen10, nice! Nintendo did quite okay with Zelda. But I have no idea how much say they have with the Pokémon games.
