I wish this was only in the center like some cities but no, it's all of it.
Believe me I've been. Don't even get me started on everyone wearing jeans with sneakers or whatever soulless modernist fashion trend.
Whatever charm the city used to have has long been stripped away. Sure, the ancient architecture remains but it's being overshadowed by all the rest. Great way to get mugged too since italy has an absurd criminality rate.
It's like telling someone who likes Lumiose to visit Paris or something.
Plus, I'm fairly sure that even during good times, Venice didn't look as good as Alto Mare purely because pokemon is an utopic anime world with borderline unfeasible architecture and everyone being rich with great fashion sense. I doubt Venice even 30 years+ ago had cute girls painting near the water while wearing berets.
I could be wrong though, the streets and general clothing aesthetics at least looked much better 200/100 years ago for sure.
We could have nice things like in fiction, it's doable. But not while the world is in its current state.
