>>32495839Best route in Hoenn, by fucking far. Easily one of the only ones that is a pure delight to explore for me
>>32495946Comfy as fuck, and it's poetic how you reach the bottom of the mountain and you're back home!
>>32496040This is a real normie filter. Anybody who complains about this route is missing the point completely. One of the few times the games TRULY push you to your limits, in a harsh and lonely enviornment. You go through Mt. Coronet, scale down a mountain, and then push through a fucking blizzard. Your Pokémons health is chipping away by the second, and there's a few little landmarks of interest too. Your Eevee may not have evolved at this point, so stumbling into that big blue rock could be a great moment.
The sense of relief you feel when you make it to Snowpoint (If you make it!) is huge, and that is a good sign that the game has just tested you with some REAL adventure, and you pulled through.
I remember playing through it at nighttime when I was much younger, and it was a very magical stand-out moment.
>>32496207The first half of Kalos is literally 11/10, all the routes are stunning.
Sadly the awkward chibi artstyle, and the patchwork-feel of the second half of the region, have really tainted Kalos as a whole.
>>32500520Unova has a lot of good locations. The desert, Chargestone, Twist Mountain, Village Bridge, practically every route between towns.
Even some of the towns are fantastic and offer exploration. Castelia (along with the sewers) has a lot of hidden areas. Virbank is also really comfy.
>>32500403Route 10 was one of the few toned-down/boring routes, but I think they wanted to focus mostly on the music and melancholy feeling of your adventure coming to its end.
>>32500537I unironically like it. It felt like a step into a larger, prettier world. Not supposed to be a proper route.>>32500873This route is pretty neat
