Everyone gives the IGN dude a hard-time for "too much water" but he was absolutely right! Half of Hoenn is either water, or land that you have to access by crossing long stretches of water. Everyone agrees caves suck because of the seemingly endless random encounters, but don't mind water when the encounters are just as frequent and just as unavoidable.

That being said it's still a super strong entry in the series and an important piece of Pokemon's first 3 core generations.
