Pokemon Gen 10 Should Learn a Valuable Lesson From Scarlet and Violet, Diablo 4

Pokemon games have gone a long way when it comes to improving and even drastically changing the core formula of the franchise, with Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet being prime examples of this for different reasons. One of the biggest outliers in terms of features for Gen 9 was the fact that it broke a massive Pokemon tradition with tall grass, as random encounters are entirely gone from the title and replaced with overworld spawns. Yet, Pokemon Sword and Shield first and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet later, as well as Diablo 4 more recently, all prove that Gen 10 games need to go one extra mile to make the open-world experience the best it can be.
