>>29381240>At this point, Kanto needs a substantial reworking. Like, literally redo entire routes and citiesThis. Most areas in Kanto already have a pretty clear way in which they could be improved or expanded without hurting the feel of the game too much
>All of the towns should take their visual motif from HG/SS and exaggerate it tenfold, e.g. Viridian being forested with green-roofed buildings>Cinnabar should be an actual tube volcano with buildings littered around the circumference of it. Add a dungeon inside of the volcano, optional after beating the Mansion>Saffron and Celadon need to each be at least as big and content-filled as Mallville and Mauville Hills in ORAS>Mt. Moon should be heavily expanded to be bigger than in RBY but still include Mt. Moon Square from HGSS. It should appear as an actual mountain that was once hit by a meteor a long time ago, instead of generic cave. The surrounding routes should reflect this>The beach south of Fuschia needs to be an actual significant beach area with minigames, NPCs, and so on. Bring back Pikachu surfing>More verticality to the Cycling Road>The Pokemon Tower should have outdoor sections like how Pokemon Origins depicted it>Just fucking redo 90% of the routes they're too short and genericAside from that, Kanto as a locale is fine. But there's ALOT that needs changing
