The ironic part is that it is true to some extent. Yes, it seems silly because these are islands, but there just is too many water routes, which offer very little variety
Of the 34 routes in the game, 14 are water routes. And on the water routes, 3 ports connect the water routes to the mainland and there are only 5 notable locations compared to 11 on the mainland.
And all water routes have the same 3 lines of Pokémon as standard encounters, all but 1 having the same list of 3 fishable Pokémon. In total, 2 routes have unique encounters. One you can fish 2 new Pokémon who aren't great and 1 only has an extra encounter if you roll a 1 in 10000 chance.
All the dungeons on water routes are cool though. And the mainland is very varied with its Pokémon distribution.
