What's your opinion on sea routes? I like them when there's just a few of them in the respective region, but with Hoenn, they just go way too far. But saying, I still like the Hoenn sea routes.
Kanto: I quite like Routes 19, 20 and 21 - they make a nice break from all the land routes (or more specifically the Silence Bridge area), and it's interesting way to get to Cinnabar and the Seafoam Islands.
Johto: I like Route 40 as it's pretty simple and straight-forward, but I've never liked how Route 41 is basically a labyrinth due to the rock walls surrounding the Whirl Islands, meaning that you have to do several laps and do a lot checking to see if you've beaten all the trainers or not.
Hoenn: As I said, there are lots of sea routes in Hoenn, but I'll talk about them in groups; I like Routes 105 - 109 as you finally get to visit the routes that you sped through in Mr. Briney's boat, and you get the Abandoned Ship to make things interesting as well; Routes 124 - 131 are probably the worst sea routes because they're pretty monotonous and boring, but at least they introduce the diving mechanic to make things more fun; I also like Routes 132 - 134 because they're pretty gimmicky by introducing the water current mechanic, but once again it makes things more fun and interesting.
Sinnoh: I've never really liked Route 220, mainly because the surfing speed is sooooooo sloooooow, and I've never liked it anyway as it's pretty long and boring. I like Route 223 because it's the last route before the Pokemon League and so things are really tensing up and it's getting exciting, but I'm pretty neutral towards Route 226 and 230.
Unova: Now I hate Route 17 because the water current maze is so annoying, but I found Route 21 pretty fun when I last played Black 2.
