>Stark mountain, turnback cave, wayward cave, solaceon ruins, iron islandAre you trolling me? These are all some of the most generic or annoying caves in the series. They don't hold a candle to the Abandoned Ship, Shoal Cave, or the Trick House. Seriously, Iron Island might be the single most boring dungeon in the series. And calling Hoenn's dungeons "muh flash" when listing Stark Mountain as a good one from Sinnoh seems pretty disingenuous when it's practically Rock Climb: The Cave.
