The scenery is more boring and so much water it meant you had to have a pokemon with surf pretty much be glued to your starting party.

So many water types and Mudkip still manages to be the goat starter. It's impressive, really.

"Scenery" wasn't exactly a huge selling point on the first two gens of Pokemon, and Surf is one of the best water moves in the game, so there's not really a drawback to keeping a Pokemon with it in your party.

I was intrigued, but when he said that he is measuring how much water is too much compared to earth I shut down this completely serious documentary video for being faulty.

Earth definitely has too much water for a video game setting.

I agree.

I also fucking hate Pelipper, so all that water meant I also had to see that bitch a ton.

There was a lot of surfing and running into endless Wingull and Tentacool (having to keep digging into your bag for Repels was a pain too).

At least on land you can stay out of the long grass, like you were told.

So, yes. Too much water.

The problem with Hoenn isn't the *amount* of water, exactly. It's that the entire climactic act is centered on a huge expanse of open water with its own entire sub-map and no real way to ease navigation. So you're supposed to be confronting the main threat but instead, you're kinda aimlessly wandering this big, samey open space with random encounters.

Still the best games in the series, though~

That explains it succinctly. Having pretty much all of the game after Lilycove being a surfing route is just too much. Variety is the spice of life.

And yeah, Dive and environments based on it were a bad idea as well that feel more like filler/bloat when you only encounter 3 different Pokemon underwater.
