>>27351754This was a big problem for me on gen 6, MAINLY on oras and I really attribute this to the cam.
Pokemon Colosseum and gale used this type of camera well, things like pyrite town were actually fun to explore and even when it was small, it was full of flavor and you could feel the small town alive.
XY just tried to merge the old pokemon top down view with this new 3D and it made things kinda weird, the 3D player models being almost chibi styled and everything feeling a bit plastic.
Now that they're going for this colloseum esque type of graphics and camera in sun and moon it looks much better, the whole day and night cycle looks beautiful here, specially with the orange tint everything gets it really makes the thing feel like you're outside exploring and not just watching from the top.
It makes the game feel colorful and brimming with life, all I hope is that it actually has lots of exploring and that the islands are not as small as I'm afraid they are.
