I think Hoenn's emphasis on nature is why they didn't bother with the towns in the first place. Its strong points are its different environments, which stand out more on the 3ds thanks to the better graphics.
>>22443059Route design gameplay-wise, they are pretty neat except for BW linear ones. But in terms of looks they look rather samey, except for some obvious exceptions. Kalos really shows diversity in the overworld compared to other games. Almost all the routes featured unique environments, whereas in something like Hoenn, there are lots of routes with grass and ocean and nothing else. I really enjoyed seeing the garden, palace lane, cliff-side coast, Carnac stones, swamp, and valley of Kalos's routes. Heck, even the first route interesting because of its lack of grass.
I wanted to post some art of it, but I can't find any. Guess I'll have make a Kalos art thread.
