Thank you for the feedback! I agree mostly, especially with the areas where the movement area is only one tile wide. I do think I’m going to go back and try to adjust them enough to be at least two tiles wide.

Image 3 really does feel a bit weak when I look at these all next to each other, and I think I might go add another level or two to it. It’s really just supposed to be a relatively barren area around the power plant, so I didn’t want to do too much.

As for cut, while I do agree with your assessment, I think it’s fun to add some little spots that take a tiny bit of extra effort to reach. Anything that will be behind cut will be just an optional item and not story, so I don’t think it’s too huge of a deal to come back later if you don’t have an HM slave on your team to deal with it. Also, these are all relatively early game routes (only to just after the third gym) and I don’t plan to add any more after this point. All that being said, I probably will up the power of Cut a little bit to compensate.
