>>28333523Johto is small but either end of Johto are the complete opposite of each other so it feels a lot bigger.
Also every game with Johto in it has had Kanto on top, so there's extra space there.
>>28333346Totally, it's already unforgettable. I think the key will be to make 100% use of all the space which I think they're aiming for already. If the region is going to be smaller and comfier, the trick will then be in making the postgame extensive and having lots of different things to do scattered around the islands.
Overall I'm excited. The last trailer gave me way more hope for the region.
IMO, I think Ohmori looked at the soaring mechanism and saw potential. I'm not sure we'll have soaring this time around, but I think in a couple of Gens the goal will be to have a region which is completely open - not so much in story but in the respect that everywhere is explorable and there aren't fences and invisible walls blocking everything off. I think we're going to see a big leap towards that with S/M.
