>>49283212>it's an organic world that somehow has the exact layout of Viridian forestIt's not an exact layout, as this was the last time Viridian Forest was seen. Even from the original design there are still subtle differences and for all intents and purposes the similarities were a great showcase of how different 3D Pokemon could be, with NPCs organically moving alongside you, the map itself not having a strict grid feel, and proper diagonal movement accounted for.
> a Snorlax blocking a bridgeThe only problem with this is that Sinnoh didn't also do it as an alternate method to get Munchlax.
>and somehow mainly Kanto Pokemon recieving MegasMainly Kanto and Hoenn Pokemon, because those were the oldest games in the timeline starting from Gen 3. Again, the only problem with this being that Gen 7 shifted the gears so hard that Gen 2 and 4 never got their chance as did Gen 5 and 6.
>or seeing ryhorn racing in a different region from KantoIt's not organic seeing Rhyhorn racing in Kanto. That's not even a reference, just a new lore bit. Again, only problem is that they didn't flesh it out and let you play a racing game. Is it inorganic to ride on Mamoswine across the tundra, too?
>Instead, these are all incredibly obvious as you're playing that the devs are tapping into your nostalgia all throughout.Organically, instead of saying the magic K word and calling that a reference as has been the case ever since Sun and Moon.
