>>48921200For the two Hoenn examples, Hoenn has some really long stretches where there is no town or anything, although I'm going to be honest the Weather Institute one is only there because it's in the middle of the villain plot and right before a rival battle because after that it's practically right next to a town. I'd say those are the best examples. On the other hand, there's Pokemon Centers in Alola (mostly on the second island which I've often said has awful map design) that are transparently there to heal you in the middle of a route and MAYBE give you a fly point (the two most egregious examples are practically right next to each other with one of those good old waist-high one-way cliffs in the way) and I fucking saw a better themed solution in the concept art!
