>>55382615>No one remembers Hoenn or Sinnoh for the fucking buildingsExcept for the Hearthome Contest Hall, the Sinnoh Pokemon League building, Team Galactic's HQ, the Old Chateau, Valley Windworks, the Canalave Library, the house in Canalave linked to the Darkai event, the Villa in Platinum. I don't know Hoenn as well as Sinnoh because I started in gen 4 but I'm sure that they have their own iconic buildings.
>Fewer trainers = GoodIncorrect.
No connectivity to BDSP means that I should have been able to transfer Origin Dialga, Origin Palkia, and all of the Hisui-introduced mons into BDSP
>You were never not getting that.Fine, then let's not pretend that some extra effort went into the visual presentation or something. All they did was make a large, empty open field. The lore justifies this yes, but it requires less effort than realizing modern Sinnoh in full 3D
> there are no gyms and there are no contests. This is why BDSP existsYou are still not understanding. Hisui by itself is not iconic. It is not memorable and generally lacks interesting geography. However, being a prequel to modern-Sinnoh gets it a pass. There is nothing visually special or interesting about Hisui's Heartwood. It's entirely carried by its connection to Eterna Forest. The majority of Hisui is like this. Bland areas that are only perceived as interesting because of their connections to modern Sinnoh
