>>56769127this, region design is so fucking boring now because all it is is "Hey look! it's the capital of X country, but Pokemon!" 3/4 of the towns and cities in the game are afterthoughts.
Remember shit like Floaroma Town? or Village Bridge? or Pacifidlog Town? These are all relatively insignificant parts of the game and yet most people remember them, whereas now most people can't even remember more than 1 or 2 towns in the games.
