>>21544073this. GF was banking on the new graphics selling the games, and thus made all of these haphazard 3D environments (desert swamp mountain beach snowtop etc.) so show off the 3D and included as many pokemon as possible to show off 3D models.
The 3D is the only reason the game is the way it is. Which is to say, tries to include everything and exceeds at nothing.
It can only get better from here since all of that shit is done and GF can focus on story and extra content now. ORAS is looking pretty great
