>>32945522I agree with this.
Just look at this pic. The only city that really stands out is Snowpoint, and maybe that one divided in two by a channel.
The rest of them is either your typical "brown city" with maybe a gym leader and some interesting building like a church, or a "green" town.
The region itself (routes and zones) are more memorable and well done, but the cities/towns are just dull.
