>>56903281Gen 1 is definitely where I feel most immersed, if only because the primitive graphics kinda force your imagination into one gear setting further than subsequent gens. But I will also give shoutouts to some gen 3 & 4 routes for getting me into an adventuring mood, the small screen space makes places like Hoenn route 119 and the sea routes feel pretty big, and the climb to the top of Mt. Coronet in Sinnoh with narrow snow-laden paths and Rock Climb cliffs coupled with the music starting subtle from the moment you step out of the cave into the light and building up as you find your footing is peak area aesthetics for Pokemon.
