The Best and Worst Areas in Every Pokemon Region (Kanto - Sinnoh)

[@JPRPokeTrainer98]

What are some your favorite and least favorite areas?

[@joshhallam6342]

I predicted Unova is route and the desert resort

[@playyuh]

@@dillonjennings2878 how quirky of you.

[@scrollingonthiswebsite]

least favorite: any given galar route

[@KuroBlitz]

There's just so many to pick from for both sides for me personally. For example, I absolutely love the Seafoam Islands because it pre-establishes a labyrinth with a reward in the end and therefore it becomes a stampe for icy areas to be in the future games and even in the sequels it becomes Blaine's Gym so it still upholds some revelancy and significance even if different. But then you get places like Johto's Route 45 that's just basically "the route back home" and has the Dark Cave as an option with nothing much significant inside of such dungeon. Areas are sometimes hit or miss with their features. Ilex Forest has a great atmosphere due to its seclusion but an annoying sidequest and practically little to none Johto Pokémon. I guess there's always several ways of seeing a landmark's highs and lows, from geographical significance to the accessability new Trainers and Pokémon, some just feel like extended copy+paste of others without their own identity and sense of self, but yes like a TM location, to which Hoenn with the weather and Sinnoh with the West and East shined with IMO. Maybe that's something they should look up more into the future, many routes just seem like grass and more grass since many regions are just majorly peninsulas and Hoenn to me has the charm of being that appealing for being different with puzzles to solve. Sinnoh has a mountain that pierces the heavens and even deserts, jungles and a volcano upnorth in the Battle Zone. Honorary mention to the Sevii Islands ofc. They truly encapsulated what an archipelago in the Pokémon world should be, always seeing something new in each different island and have mysteries all over the place that don't necessary need to make sense or be discovered or even have lore behind them. At least it's not a gimmick like the Caves of Artisan and Altering. As always, amazing video man! Loved your personal picks and I do agree with them. I don't personally believe that there are "bad routes" but yes many... and more and more that are forgetable or even skippable with the passage of time since they don't have a plethora fauna and flora of Pokémon or even something that captivates further exploration and replayability. And that's the whole point of Pokémon! Exploration and Adventure! A sense of mystery! One that we are more road/plot blocked by! Wild Areas aren't open world or even a sandbox for that matter IMO. The moment the story holds your hand and doesn't like you explore how to get items or go places, it doesn't feel like Pokémon anymore. Thank you for your time!

[@brunolike8631]

I think you will repeat the thing with mount coronet again in Galar with the giant and also glitchy Wild Area

[@J2ojuiced95]

Mount Coronet is a slog early to mid game, but the climb to the summit to confront Team Galactic is honestly one of the most epic moments in the series.

I've always hated the huge stretch of four routes between Lavender Town and Fuscia City. Like you said in the video, it's not because it's long or difficult. That's really cool. I've always hated it because it's such a slog to get through, especially in Let's Go, where it's a lot easier and more mindless. It's always struck me as one of the only Kanto areas you won't likely finish in one play session.

[@pigeonmama]

Counter argument: The Great Marsh is MUCH worse that Mt Coronet, just for the fact that you can get rare pokemon there, and it's so annoying that it isn't even remotely worth the effort.

Fun story about Granite Cave. I played Ruby so much I memorized where I needed to go to find Steven and get that one Everstone. Heck, I'm pretty sure most people do this just to get in some experience before Brawly or to get it over with early. Of course, ORAS forces you to fight Brawly and not let a good amount of the cave be accesible till later but hey whatever.

[@zaneheaston8254]

The Unova Region is going to be hell to pick a favorite area, I’d have to go with Relic Castle or Chargestone Cave

[@RidleyIgnatiousAero]

I completely agree with Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh's best areas. However, I personally think Rock Tunnel is the best area of Kanto. I doubt we are ever going to get such a gauntlet of a dungeon in the middle of a Pokemon adventure ever again.

[@PunsnGnoses]

The flash HM though

[@arakiforgot6638]

I respect your opinion, but I don't like it and I am glad they probably won't ever do it again 🤣 I disliked it, because when I first played through FireRed I was 9, so I was very counfused with this area and couldn't get through it. I've even deleted my save file, because I was so angry about it 🤣 Well, now I like this area a lot more, but I still have PTSD

[@alphasierrazulu]

I think the Distortion World was the real best/worst location in Sinnoh, but I understand leaving it out since it only appeared in one of the games.

[@brutusthebear9050]

It also can barely be considered a "location". Idk, it is too unique imho.

[@thelastwish558]

Distortion world is so cool but I always have trouble navigating it.

[@SR-mz8nn]

I actually loved tons of Johto. I know a lot of people don’t like Gen 2, but I love it. Ecruteak City has so much history with the Burned Tower and Bell Tower as well as the Kimono Girls’ dance theater. The Ruins of the Alph are so mysterious and I remember being a little girl fumbling through the puzzles and being so excited about Unknown. I also loved cycling by the MooMoo Farm and talking to all the Miltanks, plus feeding berries to the sick Miltank. The Lighthouse where you battle trainers and soothe Amphy. The buildup to the Lake of Rage is fun because you wonder what exactly the scene is gonna look like when you get there and the red Gyrados was such a cool exciting memory for me. The Ice Path challenged me in a fun way so I liked that. Slowpoke Well is such an odd and memorable place! The Ilex Forest made me so curious about Pokémon like Celebi, wondering what I could do to make it show up. Doing bug catching contests in the National Park was something I got really competitive about. Sure, there’s deadbeat parts of the map like Cianwood, but Johto is a really cool region. Plus, the towns being named after trees is cool, I like that. (I also love all the others, especially Hoenn, but Johto has the biggest place in my heart)

[@FrancistheBrave]

Same I have a soft spot to Johto than all the other regions. When I played Pokemon crystal back in the day on the color gameboy. And after playing soul silver on my phone via DS ROM man it was great have my cyndaquil as starter was cool. Glad I'm not the only one love Johto 👍🏿

It too is my favorite place in all of Sinnoh, next to Mt. Coronet

Even though I don't like the Safari Zones, I have the memory of discovering where to find Dratini without guides, Internet or watching that banned anime episode. Same goes for trying out Surf and discovering the extra floors in Union Cave, and a classmate told me when to catch Lapras.

[@CXLYBCRZ]

and the music MMMMMM

[@cephery8482]

I know you have to defog it, but the ranch feel near solaceon, the milk bar breaking it up, the discovery that the route has even more to offer to get a brand new adventure in the higher route, and that final stretch of bridges and logs over cliffs and waterfalls, plus a nice range of pokemon and excellent range of trainers. From farmers at the bottom of the route, to ninjas, karate men, bird keepers and even ace trainers and veterans, the varieties most found in victory road, make it a cute memorable route the first time and a real challenge to earn your surf on the way back. Gotta be my fav sinnoh rote. You just, really need to have defog with you. Also gets benefits as containing part of the longest straight path in sinnoh, and it runs right by the daycare, the perfect breeding opportunity.

[@fritzgerald9975]

The best place for me in Johto(HG/SS) was the Tohjo Falls, Where I could find the hidden cave with a radio, No rewards but the reason I like that was because of the game being so detailed. It was the little cave where I think Giovanni was and listening to his members trying to make him back in action at Goldenrod city

[@ShadowSora8491]

Believe it or not, my favourite area, in Kanto, is actually the Silph Co. Office Building, Saffron City. I actually enjoy the warp tile maze, along with all the levels you get from fighting all the Rocket Grunts, Scientists, a Juggler, Blue, Jessie ans James (Yellow and Let's Go only), and Giovanni. Also, the music to the Silph Co. Office Building is my favourite BGM from the Kanto games.

[@DannyJennyArtz]

I was honestly expecting the Great Marsh to be listed as the worst area in Sinnoh. It always felt like my least favorite safari zone, it was impossible as hell to move around in due to all the mud everywhere. And beside from Skorupi and Carnivine, there's barely any sort of rare Pokémon worth getting from that area.

[@turulszervac1714]

I would say the Safari Zone from HeartGold/SoulSilver is the best Safari Zone because you can modify the entire place and get the largest variety of rare Pokemon including ones like Shelgon which are virtually impossible to find in the wild otherwise. Granite Cave in retrospect was great in Sapphire and Emerald since it had Sableye, which made the Dewford Gym a cakewalk but looking back at it you're right that it had nothing else of real interest. I agree about Mt. Coronet. Rock Climb is just the worse HM (alongside Strength, but at least that can be learned by more Pokemon)

[@bigboyrox7]

Thanks for mentioning rt 13 in Kanto. It was such a lazy maze. Where it was harder to make sure you beat all the trainers than getting out. Plus I always went to the Safari zone, grab the golden teeth, hm for surf, and still have time to hunt down a rare Pokemon... I've played gen 1 too much

Actually, the granite cave is quite fun. Especially in the remakes.

It’s definitely not the worst place by any means. I’m surprised you didn’t just pick one of the water routes since... you know... 7.8/10 and all that

[@skeetermania3202]

Everstone doesn’t influence breeding in Ruby/Sapphire, though.

You do get Steel Wing from Steven in R/S/E at the end of Granite Cave, a decent move for your Tailow/Swellow. I think the weaker spot would be the Route leading to 119 from Mawville City. While it is a nice natural barrier to bar you from your progress, there isn't a whole lot going on in the Route beyond the battle spot for the reporter couple.

[@holymolyitsbroly]

The absolute best area in all of Pokémon in my opinion are the gen 3 event islands Faraway Island and Southern Island. They have so much atmosphere and absolute majestic music.

I never had any issue with those areas. In fact, Unova has the best area designs of all Pokemon games IMO. There isn't an single one that I considered bad or just go horribly wrong. The only one that I don't like; but doesn't despise it, is the Abysmal Ruins in Undella Town. Which is very optional and the set of an underwater ruins to explore is nice. But the concept of it can be pretty annoying. Not horrible. Just annoying.

Route 42 in Johto is simple, sure, but it's one of my favourites because it's easy to get the roaming legendaries to move there, especially when I was a kid and it took me days if not weeks to catch them.

[@NewbieNikki]

Great video as always ☺️

[@JohnTK]

8:44 “and with legends are us coming up, I have a feeling we’ll be seeing great things from mt coronet.” PLA’s coronet: yeah, so like, I’m only a single straight hallway…

Kanto: I always found Mt. Moon the worst area of Kanto, at least in Gen I and Gen III... it introduces us to the terrors of the Zubat plague and we can't buy any Repels for it. I don't think I have a favorite area... maybe a tie between the Safari Zone and the Silph Co. building. Johto: Worst area is a tie between Route 45 and Whirl Islands. Route 45 is annoying because of how many times you have to Fly back to Blackthorn City and walk down all over again if you want to explore all the paths (it made me dislike ledges in Pokémon). As for Whirl Islands... any dungeon that requires Whirlpool AND Flash is already bad enough, but how about we make it worse by completely wasting your time if you enter through the wrong island and/or jump over the wrong ledge? Favorite Area: gotta agree with Union Cave, even though I don't like having to backtrack to it after solving the two Ruins of Alph puzzles. Hoenn: Worst area: Routes 132-134. Yeah, I have a problem with routes that I have to redo over and over again because of path choices. I didn't like Route 45's ledges in Johto and I don't like this stretch of sea in Hoenn with all of its currents. It doesn't help that it's required for the Regis too... Favorite area: I honestly can't pick one. I love Hoenn as a whole so much, ocean be damned.

Emerald was my second nuzlocke ever. Route 119 was a nightmare, especially since I'd never played a gen 3 game before. But it was a nightmare in a good way

[@Seanbon5]

Honestly love this idea for a video

[@slevinchannel7589]

Ok, but what Region is the Strongest in terms of Mature (Age 10+) Trainers? Caught Pokemon but not Caught by the Protagonist or Mafia! Side-Question in-between: When will Protagonist and Mafie be the same for once?!? Anyway: How strong are the Regions and who compares how to the others??

[@pc-u-18]

Route 119 is great but the music on Route 120 is absolutely glorious

[@mcfleury]

Again, slapped my thighs uncontrollably during the intro drum fill. Great video. I need help.

[@psyxypher3881]

IMO you should have done Orre and the Sevii Islands. My favorite locations in both would be The Under and Sevault Canyon. Route 224 is great too. I'd legit build a house either there or in the Sevault Canyon.

[@dracojoule]

Didn't know about the Lapras in Union Cave, that's cool

[@claymathewselevator8121]

I remember my friend playing Sapphire and going in the Rusturf Tunnel and being like oh man there’s gonna be tons of cool Pokémon here and finding Whismurs and being very disappointed 😂

[@ray0064]

For the mount coronet part being the worst, you’re only forced to go through it at least 3 times( if you have a flier). The first time HMs aren’t required( when you’re going to hearthome). The second time, only strength which is a good HM is required( going to snowpoint). Needing rock smash is entirely optional for extra items. Still can respect your choice though. My personal pick for most annoying part of Sinnoh would be the main part of wayward cave. Yeah it’s optional and it’s good training for fantina but still

[@FiauraTheTankGirlGamer]

Reminder, in the crystal version of the game: You don't get the Mankey or the Flaffy

[@ryanvandenberg3119]

My least favorite place in Sinnoh is definitely the route to Snowpoint City. You move so slow through the snow, and you constantly have to deal with hail damage. Not to mention it feels so long and empty....

[@masterpig5s]

“Good morning” - 1:24am, yeah, I guess it is.

[@DakotaofRaptors]

*My favourite/least favourite locations in gens 1-4* Cerulean City/that second cave you enter National Park tied with that ice cave/Ruins of Alph That one city with the 8th gym/all of the ocean routes.

[@williamdruetta]

I just finished my first playthrough of non-remake Gen 3 with Emerald, and honestly Route 119 was the only route I felt like skipping everything I could. It might feel like it isn't long and tedious for some, but it definitely hit like that for me.

[@JosephRouen]

predictions: Best Unova: Chargestone Cave ,route 13 18 Kalos: the victory road Alola: route 8 Galar: route 2? Isle of Armor :Loop Lagoon Crown Tundra :Old Cemetery Worst Unova: route 5 Kalos: route 4 Alola:Melemele Meadow Galar: lol Isle of Armor :Potbottom Desert Crown Tundra :Slippery Slope

[@magicmasterfan1]

i mostly agree except worst in hoenn and sinnoh. for hoenn it would be lilycove city, its such a big city and theres nothing interesting there, plus the worst final rival fight of all time is there to makes things worse. As for sinnoh it would be that one foggy route between the psyduck and celestic town, back when i was a child i never knew you were supposed to use defog there so the battles were hell, plus that super annoying overleveled double team with gyarados and raichu.

[@spbot2]

Actually as a kid i memorised the route of granite cave. I never forget it

[@vintagestealth8802]

MT Coronet is also the area you evolve Nosepass and Magneton into their new evolutions.

[@thelastwish558]

I never realized the symbolism of Absol appearing at the top of Mt. Coronet 😮

[@_george_jorge2067]

Hoenn is the best region ever! It has the best of everything! I'm obsessed with Hoenn!

[@razan8487]

My favourite area in all of pokemon is probably route 119. I absolutely adore the terrain, even my secret base is located there, near the big waterfall

[@Xman34washere]

I like how Sinnoh is only Mount Coronet

[@fenistereinc.5797]

I hate it because is pretty damn biased in favor of Sinnoh. A region that have one of the worst routes in the game (Route 210) and those terrible marsh places

[@tenshiangelina]

It took me way more than it should have to recognize the intro/outro melody...

[@cron1807]

To be fair, you could pretty easily transfer steelix in from XY, because you get a free steelix there

[@pikaporeon]

I think ive spent more time on Johto Rt 42 than any other route that wasnt for hatching eggs; great EV training there
