Oh I didn't realize that all of the towns are going to be like that. That is a letdown since I always enjoyed wandering in people's houses to say hello. Lame... I have to say that I haven't really been taken with most of the games after pokemon Sun and Moon. I didn't like the whole raid battles thing of pokemon Sword and never got past the second town (though I do keep meaning to go back and give it a go). I picked up the Diamond remake as well but didn't like the art of it so I haven't really advanced in that one either. I had some hope after Arceus because I really liked the open world and exploration aspects. But yeah, I dunno, not super excited by what I've heard about Violet so far but we'll see. I just keep giving them my money and it sucks because I think they should put more effort into making the games better and focus less on the schedule of getting multiple games out every year. Anyway, thank you for attending my pokemon Ted Talk, lol!
