>silhouettesSemi-valid point. Do you want a few nice models that are going to have to be made from scratch or would you rather have the devs spend that time working on another aspect of the games. You certainly can't use the battle models either and I don't think they made overworld models of every pokemon this time around.
>cut at 90 degree anglesI can understand the point, given that we've seen diagonal routes (the last demo especially), but it REALLY looks to me that they started designing the map BEFORE they decided to include 8-way movement. That's why we saw all those 4-way route designs during the very EARLY stages of development, but not near the END of development. They probably are on a tight schedule, with the worldwide release and whatnot, so I don't think going back and changing some of the routes (or beaches) is a big priority for them.
BUT CALLING IT NOW, there's going to be some 90-degree beaches AND some smooth-diagonal ones as well, which were made later in development. It's going to be one of the greatest oversights of Game Freak in Gen 6, and people are going to call them out for it, when they really had no choice.
