Why did they never do anything this kino ever again? It's not even just that the two legendaries have their own homes/locations with completely different stories and meaning behind them, it's the fact that you pass by these areas long before you actually get a chance to explore them fully and capture them, and if you've been paying attention you know these places are, according to legend, the home to lugia and ho oh. The whirl islands and tin tower lend such a mysterious and beautiful backdrop to so much of the game.
Now, the legendaries are just the same beast with a reskin for the separate versions, and their "home" is just some nondescript ancient temple you get to at the end of the game.
tldr - why don't they make the games have soul like gen 2 again?
