Just looking at Unova next to Sinnoh makes me realize how ugly Unova really was.

but it was aesthetically interesting. It was the opposite to the tropicalia of Hoenn, it had a cold, alpine, marshy vibe to it. Along with the modernity and suburbanism of gen 1, the misty, traditional landscapes of gen 2, they form an interesting aesthetic representation of current Japan.

Since then they have seemed unable to create convincingly cohesive and believable game worlds

I love Sinnoh, but I can see why GF dialed the complexity back. I miss complex regions, but if I had to traverse Sinnoh when I was a kid instead of Kanto I would have put the game down after hours of trying to figure out where to go after finishing certain gyms. Granted, I was like seven when I played Red.

That's because the first four regions are based on Japan. Japan in charge of mapping out America/France.

Sinnoh appreciation thread?

I always loved the soundtrack to sinnoh.

In terms of gameplay and navigation Sinnoh was as normal as every other region save hoenn, but I think it had such a feelsy vibe to it.

well obviously. They could still try a bit harder though, I mean a desert in fucking midtown manhattan? At least a desert made sense (mostly) in Hoenn.

I liked Sinnoh's music for the softer pieces, but there were a lot of pieces that were bland in comparison to other tracks in the series. It didn't feel as exciting in some areas, like the Gym Leaders and Elites.

Yeeeeeah. Having to go to specific areas with very little information really but a hamper on the second half of RSE if you weren't paying attention. The region's design really helped to give you the ability to explore while also pushing you in the right direction, but I could see how people would get fed up trying to look for where to go next.

diverse and creative biomes are great but i think they need to feel like they fit in to the overall aesthetic of the wider region, otherwise it just feels artificial, like a theme park ride or something

This
A desert is fine, as long as it exists in a rain shadow from a rainforest and has a gradual transition.
A desert is not okay when it is a perfectly circular blob on the outskirts of a city with absolutely no transition.

I think Sinnoh got it right. You climb part of a mountain to get to the snowy area in the North. Hoenn also did this perfectly, as you could feel the presence of Mt. Chimney as you worked your way around it. The desert was placed on the opposite side of where it would be normally, but having a desert on the side of a volcano with a soot-covered route right next to it felt like it would be somewhat realistic. When you start to move toward the coast, you do so from the middle of the region, into a tropical area that leads to the water routes.

it still felt a bit hokey though; it couldve just been a small reference, a whole desert sandwiched between two cities felt incredibly uncohesive, considering the routes above it are verdant forests
