>>57119684>BW has a cooler, more winding route layout with a fair amount to explore>the obvious main path is kind of uninteresting with trainers and wild encounters being easy to avoid; I might be wrong but that looks like a postgame route so you can just surf past many of those trainers>(not shown) the seasons tweak the encounter tables slightly>XY has a more eyecatching color scheme but the route is far duller with these weird vague ankle-high ledges that really would've looked better as trees>lots of unavoidable grass and trainers>since they removed seasons we miss out on unique encounters every so often but it makes the autumnal aesthetic of this route stand out even more amongst the countless forgettable light green/greenish blue grassy forests & plains that litter the franchise as a wholeTwo regions full of underappreciated strengths and overblown weaknesses. What changed? Nothing significant.
