Would you guys like to see this? seeing how they have put more emphasis towards the guardian pokemon than gyms, this might be the direction Sun/Moon is heading.
It'd be interesting sure but I'd probably do the gyms anyways. Having more freedom to move along and not be blocked until beating each gym would be nice though.
this would be cool if there were tons of hidden areas locked behind HMs(like Black/white) and you could only explore them and find rare pokemon by beating the gyms

Make the Gyms difficult and we have a deal. And I mean actually difficult, even the first Gym.

More like you have to beat the guardians to continue, gyms are optional but the badges open up places to train for the guardians
The games will only get easier as time goes on. Expecting otherwise is delusion.

kek being this delusional. if anything, you'll battle them and have a forced capture, and the gyms will be easy.

You're still battling random people for no reason. WHAT DO YOU THINK!?
>we will never have a non linear pokémon game
>we will never even have a hard mode
why live
Masuda said the games will be easy dont get your hopes up for something too complicated. The kids might not understand it.
