Oh I LOVE this

Noooo I want ability gating and incentivized backtracking again!

While I find merit in the idea of balancing your in game team around also needing to teach the traversal moves, adding more absolutely would necessitate the removal of that, which I do believe would just be a net fun benefit (specifically for gamers who enjoy the genre)

Honestly I think there is a way to solve that while still adding the ability gating and incentive to backtrack back to the game, whether it be you have a separate list of out of battle moves you can teach your mon, or a post gym leader technique tutor type deal.

I honestly didn’t think I’d get this far
I feel like we could add a snow traversal option as well as vine whip grappling hook type deal to close gaps dig to go further underground in caves..

Ayyy happy birthday tony!!!

We love you sm Aki, this really breaks my heart :c I know it only goes so far, but you really are great at what you do and I wanna believe your perseverance will be rewarded <3
