Po Town is so cool. I think it's where dialogue takes a backseat (a VERY welcome implentation considering this is Sun and Moon we're talking about) and the game shows us this broken down area Team Skull choose to reside in. Honestly I think it's reflective of the team itself. A reject town no one goes to, an outcast to the society of Alola brought down by bad luck and torment. It's subtle but it works here. Plus we have the classic Team Skull shenanigans which I love to see and also provide a good amont of contrast with the somber area. Man I love Team Skull so much.

@@Velociraptor2000 All the routes have basically the exact same environment copy pasted, down to color palette and assets. Yeah, it should all have a somewhat similar vibe to keep it within the tropical island aesthetic but at the end of the day, this is a video game and not real life, there's no reason they couldn't have played with the visual design of the routes. Plus, even if it was the real world, tropical islands have all kinds of variety in environments, they are generally rich with both fauna and flora. When you look at Kalos, we've got the standard route design but then we also have a route with an upper level on a cliffside and a beach down below, a route with a big fountain in it, one with a roller skating arena, one filled with leaves, a marshy looking area, one route that's just completely covered in snow, etc. etc. Compare that to Alola, it's got pretty much three kinds of routes; grassy tropical looking route, a rocky looking route with yellow grass instead of the green, or a beachside route with access to the ocean. There's the occasional graveyard site or beach with black sand but other than that, there's not much variety to go about, especially when it comes to the color palette. It's all the same shade of green, blue, yellow and brown, only occasionally breaking up the color palette but just for like one part of one area. They somewhat improve it in USUM by changing some of the routes to have more interesting plantlife but it's still fairly monotonous. XY and SM have somewhat similar problems with exploration, where the game constantly stops you in your track to expose something or having some random fluff text for no reason, but XY are a lot more fun on a replay than SM because they break up the monotony of the gameplay with all the different types of areas you pass as you adventure through Kalos. Do I think SM are stronger games? Yes, absolutely. They're probably in my top 3 of Pokémon games because of how strong the story is and how fun many of the battles are, with a great variety of different Pokémon to choose for your team. However, whenever I want to revisit the 3DS era of Pokémon games, I always find myself rather wanting to replay XY because of how much more exciting the region is, and because of how much of a slog SM are to get through, in a major way due to the constant interruptions, but the underwhelming level design is an even bigger factor in my eyes.

I liked how Unova's victory road had you going in and out of the cave as it was different to the previous 4 generations. These videos really hammer home how lackluster later gen (especially Galar) routes are.

@jaretco64233 жыл бұрын
Honestly, Unova is my favorite region out of all the regions of Pokemon. There isn't an single area that I hate nor doesn't go anything wrong. They're all so good. I agree that the final routes in both BW & BW2 are the best ones. And I don't mind Celestial Tower. I can agree that there's to many trainers to battle that u can't avoid for the most part. But at least there's a nurse that can restore your Pokemon. So u don't have to worry about getting your Pokemon to the Pokemon Center or using items in order to stay healthy. And the area itself felt more alive and had an unique backstory. The only area in Unova that; while I don't despise, but doesn't like an whole lot is the Abysmal Ruins in Undella Town. While it's nice for it's backstory & taken place in underwater, the puzzles aren't too bad & the items u get are reliable, the concept of it is pretty tedious. U only had whatever minutes to explore the underwater ruins and it'll collapse. Forcing u to head up back the surface & try again. Thankfully that area is totally optional and the items u get are still with u. But going back to the beginning again and where u left off is pretty annoying. Speaking of Route 10 in Galar ( which is the complete opposite of Unova's Route 10 in terms of uniqueness ), why are there swimmer Trainers in that area? It's an snowy area. And there isn't an beach in Galar.

Talking about the inaccessible doors in Kalos just make me remember how I _really_ wished they went back to the “definitive third version” formula for Kalos at the very least. I mean, one, “Z” just naturally follows after X and Y, it’s just perfect. Sun and Moon, whatever, it’d be more ambiguous as to whether we’d end up getting the so called “stars” or the more creative “eclipse”,(which Cosmog doesn’t have an evolutionary form to make a trio for, and Necrozma, I suppose technically counts as a third legendary that gained a larger story role in another game of the same generation, doesn’t feel quite right to me personally) but regardless. Two, yeah, there was so much that could have been expanded upon in a pokemon Z. Inaccessible areas that were teased, themed areas that could have held more special Pokémon, giving Zygarde a larger role in the game he was _introduced in as the third of a main legendary trio,_ like Giratina in Platinum, instead of just anticlimactically being at the back of a shallow cave with even less fanfare than Mewtwo. Instead, Zygarde straight up gets pushed off all the way to the next generation, where you basically collect the cells scattered throughout the region like ProZD collects pinecones before his fight with King Dragun. A nice little way to get strong stuff fast, but literally playing no story significant role. It’s just kind of… there.

Celestial Tower as the worst? Really? Celestial Tower...? One of the most memorable parts to me of any Unova playthrough is climbing to the top and ringing the bell, especially in Nuzlockes where i'm dedicating that ring to my own fallen pokemon as well. And the actual content of the tower itself is fine. I don't see how it's somehow the worst. I'd give that to the Moor of Icirrus for just being...more of icirrus. pretty boring place. Anyway... Kalos: I'm gonna try to avoid putting towns on this, but the best area to me is the cliffs of route 9 and the towns that surround it. I love the feeling of seeing the sea and beach from overhead, only to climb down and travel there myself once I've passed through Ambrette town, and the route transfers seamlessly into Cyllage city. Kalos has a lot of great locations. (Route 13 is the worst tho, I'll give you that.) Alola: I gotta give it to Vast Poni Canyon. Exploring this area before the final confrontation in SM felt incredible, It's such a unique looking area. It also stands out to me personally because I've been to it's real life equivalent! Worst...does festival plaza count? I'm gonna say festival plaza counts. It's festival plaza.

Glimwood Tangle could use some work on the layout and level design, but in terms of atmosphere I think its one of the best in the series. Getting to see Impidimp dart in and out of the light provided by the multicoloured mushrooms is so cool to see, and the mushrooms themselves provide such dynamic lighting that we never see in the series otherwise. Most of the time the routes are either perfectly bright or pitch black with very little in between. Also, Route 6 has some really nice background details like the Diglett statues in the sides of the cliffs and the teams of Falinks marching between their burrows. The only thing I don't like about it is how we somehow stop time whoever we climb a ladder.

Other places like Stow-On-Side have a lot of culture and personality to them.

@TheClearSummer3 жыл бұрын
It’s not that the areas or their concepts in Galar aren’t nice, but there’s literally nothing to do in any of the routes. Pokemon is a game, not a piece of 2D artwork. You can’t go off anywhere to explore or find cool little details that add more to the world, the whole route just circles back in on itself rather than branching off and making you feel like you’re exploring alternate paths and connections and areas - you have to use a variety of tools to access certain areas. Just pick a random route like Unova route 14. Yes, conceptually, it’s ‘just rivers running through field and woodland’, but when you’re playing, you see items and trainers just out of reach, and you have to figure out different ways of traversing the area that’s not just ‘walk into it’. Unfortunately Galar just looks pretty, but has no real substance in that sense, which is super frustrating because, as you say, the concepts they had were amazing. They just didn’t make it fun, at least for me anyway.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who despises Kalos Route 13. For Unova however, my least favorite area in that game has to be Challenger's Cave. First off, it requires Flash, which I've never been a fan of. Second, it contains two Veterans with abnormally strong and annoying teams for normal trainer standards, on top of BW's awful postgame level curve problem. Third, there's practically NO payoff for visiting it, in spite of the fact that one or two trainers imply that there's a Legendary Pokemon at the end. In short, I'm actually quite glad the area was removed in B2W2, since it really didn't have a good reason to exist. As for Alola, I think original Sun & Moon Mt. Lanakila is pretty underwhelming since it has very little to it in spite of what the epic music may suggest, making it a relatively anticlimactic final area. Thankfully Mt. Lanakila got a much needed revamp in the Ultra games.

Lumiose city, I used to know that whole city due to having most of the daily events take place there. That said, I cant say it's the best due to how barren it felt. Not as lived in as Castelia, Nimbasa or the newer ones in SwSh (although I feel Galar as a whole to feel so small).

Glimwood Tangle may be small and rather enclosed, but it’s better than I feel you give it credit for here. You completely glossed over what’s visually and atmospherically one of the best routes in base-game Galar, the music in Glimwood tangle is also insanely fitting for what it is: A deep, wild, unsettling, and mysterious forest inhabited by a large enough population of powerful Fairies to make mainland Galar inhospitable to multiple species of Pseudolegendary Dragons.

Unova: Worst Area: Twist Mountain. I don't like to be locked out of places or items when exploring because I need to wait for winter or wait for it to end. And no, I don't want to have to mess with my console's clock to get around this. This also applies partially to Icirrus City and Route 8. Favorite Area: Victory Road in Black 2 and White 2. It was a joy to explore, and even more in the post-game, when you can find the ruins of Team Plasma's Castle. Kalos: Worst Area: Dang it, I forgot how much I hated Route 13... the wind is the absolutely worst thing about it. Favorite Area: Anistar City. Love the aesthetics and music, and the old man's event got me right in the feels. Alola: Worst Area: Ultra Megalopolis in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Yeah, I was expecting way more from a WHOLE NEW CITY. Favorite Area: Team Rocket's Castle in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. As much as I disliked how these games changed Sun's and Moon's stories and removed most of what made them great, I LOVED the concept of Team Rocket being an interdimensional threat. The puzzles were a nice throwback, and fighting every leader from the other teams in the series, each packing their own signature legendary Pokémon, was a joy. Galar: Worst Area: Circhester Gym in Pokémon Shield. The third part of the gym is a blindness simulator. Favorite Area: Wild Area, Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra. The explorations of those areas are what I loved the most about Sword and Shield, and to this day I boot up my games every now and then to do some Max Raids when I want to kill time.
@goldmemberpb2 жыл бұрын
My sheer disappointment on galar routes can be summed up by the route to the Circhester town. it is a tiny zigzag that is as small as the straight path on route 1 in XY. You are at your 7th gym and you get the tiniest route possible. At least the route after the town is much better and probably the only semi-complex route in the main game.

I thought for the worst in Kalos was route 1 if you can even call it that. It's better off being part of the first town. While route 13 have it's downsides, at least there's items, pokemon, and a bit of elbow room to explore a bit, even if there's nothing to really see other than the power plant teasing everyone. I wouldn't be surprise if everyone just forgot about it, but it's better that way.

The last little bit of Black/White was highly enjoyable I have to agree. I was actually shocked that I had to fight N and then Ghetsis right after with no chance to save or prep in between. I hadn't seen that coming but thankfully my team was well prepared and strong enough to overcome it with little difficulty. I think his Hydreigon took out one of my weaker Pokemon because I made a mistake and switched it in not knowing Hydreigon had a super-effective move to use against it, but that's about the extent of the trouble I had. As far as N goes I don't think he even damaged any of my Pokemon. Which I thoroughly enjoyed destroying him and finding out that I was correct about my assumption of him being used by someone else. I didn't know the story of Black/White prior to my playthrough of it, but N's lack of true conviction in what he was fighting for made me think that someone else was pulling the strings
@berylredburrow__88102 жыл бұрын
Worst area in galar imo is the wild area. It was really pushed by the developers, a big, open area that you'd come back to again and again to explore. What we got was a wider route. Theres no cool areas or encounters to find, and it only connects to two rows and the train station. The only reason you'd go back there is to do raids for candies, but honestly, when in galar were you so under leveled that you needed that boost? The whole area just looks bad. From the awful textures, to the weather that constantly obscures everything, to the face the Pokemon only show up when you're right next to them making the whe thing feel empty and lifeless. It was just a massive disappointment in a game already filled with it.
@jonathantkyong8157 Жыл бұрын
after watching both videos and have a thought of it myself, I came out with my own favorite and least loved areas in the pokemon games that I've played. In Gen 1 I love SS Anne the most. During my childhood I had the privilege to enter a big ship, and it's a wild experience. SS Anne in the game is that experience for the player character. Big ship, good amount of trainers, and it's the place to get the first ever HM in the history of pokemon. I really don't have a place that I don't like in gen 1, but I do have one that I enjoyed the least when I'm exploring it. Power Plant may be the place where one of the legendary birds house, but it's bland, a single floor location with nothing else to offer. In Gen 2 Dragon's Den may be one of the locations where players just go to catch a pseudo legendary in Dratini/Dragonair and never come back, but I love the idea that Dragons making one location as their nest. Unfortunately it's limited to the Dragon types available at that time, which is really just a few. While I don't have a place where I dislike in Gen 1, I can easily say I really dislike Cianwood City. Before the remakes, almost every characteristics it has already been done with Cinnabar Island in Gen 1. A gym location where you need to surf to the corner of the map ? a legendary house itself next to it nearby ? It's a location where the player has absolutely no reason to return to until the additions of a Johto safari zone in the remakes.

Galar Route 9? Great route for Galar standards imo, the misty sea vibe of the area is amazing, you can find lots of cool Pokémon there for the first time (Snom, Darumaka, Clobbopus, Dhelmise...), and it's divided into multiple sections... it might not be an *amazing* route but it's nowhere near deserving of being included in the "worst areas of Galar" discussion

Imo the music and encountering Litwick saves Celestial Tower. The worst area for me would either be the bridge between Driftveil and Route 5, the train town that you can access through the Subway system or Lost Forest, all for the reason of being underwhelming. Out of those the forest was underwhelming to me because I never got to do the event as a kid and it gets better in BW2, and the bridge is just a bridge so you can't expect too much from it, so the train town would have to be the worst area for me
