>>57410070the landmarks in the newer games are soulless, they're nothing but Pokemon-ified versions of real world locations.
Why should I give a shit about PokeLondon or PokeBarcelona, it's the most uninspired way to do worldbuilding. And the locations that aren't ripped from the real world are as deep as a puddle. When's the last time you thought about Hulbury or Zapapico?
The New York influence is clear in places like Castelia and Nimbasa but then you still have developed places like Opelucid, Undella Town, Chargestone Cave, and the Dreamyard that make Unova feel like more than just Poke New York, what happened to that kind of worldbuilding?
Even Kalos which I'll bash in any other thread had a better handle on developing something unique to it's real world counterpart than the newer games do.
