this is looking like the most comfy looking pair of games yet
>>
>>26585681
Agreed op. Unless I need to fucking use HM's every fucking place I go.
>>
>>26585681
It's a tropical region, it's not going to be comfy at all.

Looks like a good adventure though.

>inb4 people try to say tropical settings can be comfy, and try use fucking Hoenn as an example

And empty.
They sacrified a lot of details to fit these 3D models.

But Sinnoh was comfy.

I'd like it to be comfy. Comfy games are my favorite.

But games with tropical settings seem to focus more on the adventure, and less on the comfy. We have already seen this before, with Hoenn.

So I doubt Alola will be different.

If I am proven wrong, I'll be happy though.

Also;

>are you just a sinnohfag projecting hard, or have you been indoctrinated by cold harsh mother russia or something
It is true I like Sinnoh, but I also like Johto too. I like games that have a very strong comfy atmosphere to counter the adventure. Tropical games tend to lean heavily on the adventure side of things. Which is cool. Can be fun. Obviously too early to say, but I think Alola might be the best Region to date.
>>
My only complaint is, like in Unova and Kalos, and unlike Hoenn/Sinnoh the vegetation seems to change too abruptly in my taste. It just screams NSMB forced diversion over an actual diverse region that actually has realism to it
>>
>>26585681
Its comfy in its own right, but my preferred type are colder climates like Sinnoh.
>>
It does look comfy
I kinda wish they held back SM for the NX now

Actually, I think Alola looks fine in that regard. MUCH better than Kalos, which was admittedly a mess of environments.

The only weird area in Unova was the volcano in B2/W2. At least it was connected to Undella (the beach town) and nowhere else. That helped secure it's "realism"

The Desert Area after Castelia, that you're probably thinking of, is fine though. It had an In-Universe explanation (Kyurem fucked shit up) and is the best Desert area in any game, so it's completely excused. Unova also had vastly changing environments do to the Geography and the Seasons. Think of it like a hugely compressed USA. Lots of different environments, from deserts to volcanoes, to metropolis's, to forests, but all in one country.

Alola seems to have a much more fluid mesh of environments. Icy area at the top of the mountain, for example. Whereas Kalos would have a desert, blizzard, and swamp right next to each other.

Kalos is the only Region that the environments didn't fit together, I think. The sad thing is they were probably just rushing to showcase as many different environments in the 3d engine, while forgetting that they would make much more memorable games if the environments and geography of the games was more distinguished. Like how Hoenn is tropical, and Sinnoh is more northern themed.

Unova had seasons/geography/lore as an excuse, and worked because it was the first time we had a Region with so many environments. It was one of the themes of the Region. Kalos was just a mess. I think history will not be kind to Gen 6 at all. A messy Region that will prove to be unmemorable, watered down games due to Masuda's retarded idea to compete with Mobile games, and then an embarrassing set of remakes.

The sad thing is, I really enjoyed my time in Gen 6, or at least, with X/Y. But I just cant deny that the second half of the Kalos Region was a mess. I think, from the map we have been given, that Alola will be a much more natural feeling Region.

Sorry for the essay

That being said, this fan-made map put Kalos generally in the middle of the PokéEarth, and it helps explain all the varying environments to an extent.
>>
>>26586449
I'm not talking about any specific area in particular, just that everything was more contained by gates etc in Unova than the other games. Not really sure how to describe it. It just felt more limited

>unova's desert
>"Kyurem fucked shit up"
Nowhere have I heard this. If anything Kalos' desert is the best because it's not really a desert. It's called the "Lumiose Badlands" and its lore is too much farming harmed the environment. Just because some desert pokemon are found there doesn't mean it's a desert. Also I feel that I should add that it keeps in tune with the theme of life/death because while nothing can grow there, it is still being used to generate electricity.

Anon, Hoenn is very fucking comfy.

Yeah, no. Temperate and colder regions are comfier. It's a simple fact.

You DO know that the pokemon world is the earth plus pokemons, right?
>>
>>26587395
Don't be a twat. In-Game dialogue says otherwise.

The Regions literally can't match up like our world.

Hell look at Alola. Half as many Islands as Hawaii.

Pokémon world is only loosely inspired. I thought this was common knowledge

HMs were antiquated in gen one

>>26588064
Yeah, knee-jerk reaction. I've seen that map and one other map used by maptists too many times, I just go into default mode and call people who post it retards
>>
I like how the spaces look much bigger than in other games. Makes me hope there will be more exploration.
>>
>>26588082
I definitely don't think it's anywhere close to being canon. If Game Freak ever show a proper PokéWorld map, I doubt it will look like this.

I do however think it's well made and endearing in that a lot of thought was put into trying to make a game-accurate map, which is the only reason I posted it. The fact that Kalos was put close to Sinnoh, and below southern Unova would help explain Kalos's weird geography, as it fits seemingly perfect there.

But honestly, Game Freak has probably put zero thought into how all the Regions actually fit together. But hey, makes more sense than the theory that it all just matches the real world.
