isnt pokemon already open world? (bar occasional snorlax blocking)

Not really. There are some branching paths here and there with items to find but the game's map is mostly linear (As far as I remember at least, last one I've played was Y on the 3DS). In any case, when I say open world I'm basically referring to those games with giant maps and a ton of empty space between the actual game content. People may like it to "take in the scenery" or whatever, but to me it's just plain tedious.
