THERE'S A STAIRCASE LEADING INTO THE OCEAN
WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH OF THE FUCKING REGION IS UNDERWATER?
>Alola looks tiny hurr durr
BTFO
Alola will be the most expansive region yet!
Here's your reply
>>26573418
I'm pretty sure that's just a staircase to that floor it's connect to dumbass. Though underwater sections would be a nice solution to water routes that doesn't involve surfing or otherwise using a water vehicle like I'm thinking is going to happen.

>>26573453
If you actually look at it, that makes zero sense.
>>26573444
Alola already looks fucking fine without an underwater region. Stop complaining for the sake of complaining.

boi
>ITT: people have no idea what docks are
>>26573671
That looks nothing like a dock moron. It's an overpass covering a staircase. See >>26573506
>>26573506
As much as I want a cool Atlantis, I think >>26573453
is right. If it was an underground entrance the walls would lead up to the edge instead of being cut off.
>>26573506
You're seeing what you want to see on a clearly imperfect drawing. I guess that house must be extra dimensional because there's a huge black line coming off it extending forward. The last stair isn't nearly underneath that platform enough to be convincing.
>>26573506
How in the fuck are you seeing anything where you drew those last 2 steps? It's literally just a flat rectangle of sand.
>>26573418
What is a pier?
>>26573705
It's showing how its an overpass covering a staircase, genius
>>26573714
Looks nothing like any of the other piers. Is your depth fucked?
>>26573468It does make sense as you need to reach the water to surf or reach yur boat somehow (not talking about the giant ships, about the smaller ones an actual person can possess)
>>26573714
Not that.
It's clearly a staircase
>>26573764

Look at the level of the pier. Look at the last step of the stair case. Now tell me, how does it feel to have your race being freed from slavery and yet you failed to achieve a three digit IQ?
>>26573898
Yup, I think you're right...
>>26573898
Here's your (You).
Escher would be proud of the subhuman thinking in this thread.
You can surf from island to island
The light blue water means surfable water, but maybe you can get sruf after 5-6 gym.
That's a pokemon dock, for surfing pokemon.
OR
did you see the artificial island?
There is no dock, maybe, you only get there through underwater tunnel.
>mfw nobody in this thread has any sense of depth perception
The wall on the right sight of the stairs going down is just poorly shaded on the edge where it cuts off. You can tell by the change in shading on the top.
Where are people getting this extremely high-res artwork from?

Why are faggots getting so triggered by a staircase?
I refuse to accept there are """""people""""" who honestly thinks this is an underwater staircase. There is no way the brain can be this underdeveloped on humans.

See >>26574003 and >>26573898 and proceed to kill yourself.

Easy win there, monkey. Here's a (Banana) for (You). Please don't steal my goods.

You have to be at least 18 to post here.

Not an argument.

>>26573724
How can there be stairs underneath? The bottom step is level with the "overpass" (it's actually sand) and there is zero gap there.
>>26574208
Not a person.
You stop your PokeBoat.
You dock and walk up the stairs.
You have now reached your next destination.
>>26573418
Might be access to an underwater factory or evil team HQ. Or access to an submarine.

>>26574251
There's already a dock on the fucking island directly below it, dipshit.
>>26574271
It's white you colourblind fuckwit.
>>26574311
You're reaching, fuckwit.
Today I learned my dog is smarter than /vp/. Underwaterfags are now a thing.
god i hope dive comes back

>>26574257
It's a pier.
>>26574344
All me
>>26574353
The road and the rest of the island isn't even fucking elevated from that "pier", dipshit. It's a staircase that goes underwater, simple as that. The art literally dictates it.
Pierfags are cancer.
>>26574380
>what is ground level
>what is water level
>>26574410
The road and water are literally parallel to the "pier". A staircase can't go down from there unless its below surface, dipshit.
Wouldn't mind a bigger or at least, a more elaborated underwater map.
>>26573418
Cretin

WHAT IS THIS? A UNDERWATER STAIRCASE? PIERFAGS BTFO
>>26574484
I wonder how traumatic is to study hydraulics in Alola. Parshall flumes might not obey basic hydraulics and Froude numbers don't mean a thing. I never heard of still water having two heights before Alola.
This, or it's just a pier.
I've been trying to analyze the map we got in the trailer, here's what I have so far:
Red circles are the visible Pokemon Centers on the map
Larger circles are towns or other interesting things
Green = where I think a Gym will be
White = town I don't think will have a gym
Blue = not a town but still interesting to note
Yellow = starting town
White lines are how I think the towns will be connected
Share your thoughts, I'll provide a clean map as well so you can see stuff better
Here you go you fucking autists.
>>26574727
Clean map
Also sorry if my handwriting was kinda sloppy
>>26574727
To be honest i think it'd be more valuable if someone were trying to figure out the real life locations theyre tied to geographically rather than guessing stuff like this.
I wonder which legendary breaks the rules of physics in Alola.
MARINE TUBE 2.0 PLEASE.
Probably throw some trainers in there so it's not boring after a while though
>>26573418
That's a paint stroke overlap you spaz.
>>26574729
But, the upper thing that you lined in green goes around the grass patch... and the red line under it isn't there, it's just a blob of grey...
>>26574594
>tfw you studied three years of hydraulics, work as a civil engineer on channel construction for sanitary applications and can't understand how water works in a pokemon game, unless it's a pier
>>26574823
>But, the upper thing that you lined in green goes around the grass patch
I don't understand your point.
>>26574875
I mean this, the grey thing doesn't look like a "wall" or "fence"...
>>26574727
>no dock, surf only???
>something underwater
Holy shit, how dumb can one be?
Surf will be confined to the areas delimited by rocks, just like in every other game
80% of the water on the map wont be accessible, get over it
>>26574911
I didn't say it was a fence. It's some kind of flat pavement that stays level as the steps go down and, along with the grey bit near the water on the opposite side of the road, flanks the steps. Both grey flat grey areas are level with the road and so with each other.

Great, engineers here, just shout if I assumed something wrong.
>since there is no visual indication of any kind of hydraulic jump, and yet the assumption is that the water is level with the ground on the western part of the "pier", and level with the water line on the shore on south, no flow of water goes from the western part to the southern
>so, the energy levels are the same on both levels
>if the energy is the same, under normal conditions, the western part is on some sort of subcritical flow under the normal sea velocity, while the southern part is supercritical flow under the normal sea velocity, since they are, respectively, higher and lower in levels
>the froude number for the western part is consistent, since the velocity of water is low when compared to it's height to the seafloor (y+Δh, being y the height between the water level on the southern part and the seafloor, and Δh the difference of height between the two sides), it would lead to a number close to zero
>but, assuming the speed is the same on the southern part, it would lead to a very close froude number on the supercritical flow part, since the velocity is the same under normal situation, while the Δh is minimal compared to the seafloor height, leading to a value that would probably be lower than 1.0, leading to a subcritical flow
>since those assumptions are the closest as possible to the real world situations, it's impossible to have such water level conditions
>even if you assume the seafloor height is comparable to Δh, that would lead to very close values for the froude number, and that would probably lead to the western part having a supercritical flow condition aswell, being also impossible
>or it's just a pier
>>26575283
If the velocity wasn't inconsiderable, you could assume the second scenario as truth, but then again, you'd have a hydraulical jump with visible wave, and that is impossible on that scenario
There are no flaws in your line of thought other than that
