>>53271522>I'm almost certain the Viridian being reduced was an intentional nod to thatI'm sure it is. If you look at the original RBG Viridian Forest you will see that it has tree stumps, to indicate that the forest is being cut down, so by the time GSC happens the forest isn't there anymore. This detail was not carried to FRLG, so the forest is still there in HGSS.
