The movies and anime seem to hate the idea that any pokemon could be truly bad even though Pokemon, in general, have human-like intelligence and human-like personalities. If Arceus or Giratina are the villains then I want them to be genuinely evil eldritch abominations rather than misunderstood woobies.
That'd be because we catch these monsters and make them our allies, so they wouldn't want to paint any of them in a truly bad light. Not many would want to watch their favorite be the irredeemable big bad.
The in-game map does look a little small and empty, though it does have a zoom function that might switch to a more detailed version upon closeup. The artsy regional map, however, looks more detailed albeit not as much as previous region maps in my opinion.
I would not be surprised if part of the game is filling out the map with early settlements.
Verlisify on YouTube labeled the game bad the moment he saw the text "areas you currently have access to". I personally don't see the problem in not having access to all or even most areas right off.
I wonder if that's Snowpoint Temple at the northernmost point.
I find it weird that we don’t see any towns or shops, or trainers..mostly nature.The in-game map does look a little small and empty, though it does have a zoom function that might switch to a more detailed version upon closeup.

Isn't that how a lot of open-world games are anyways? Like you don't have immediate access to every part of the world until you clear obstacles, reach certain goals, face certain bosses, etc.
That is why I called it a good twist also not the first pokemon game where the professor will be the bad guy...
The professor has never been a bad guy in a Pokémon game.
I believe the region is meant to be mostly uninhabited wilderness.
I was defending him at one point, not understanding why he was so hated. But this has really made me understand the roots of the hate better.
