Hello, I was bored and made a compilation of all the Alola/NUAlola (from here on, A and NUA) map differences. Discuss what you think these changes will bring/mean for the games. Below is a breakdown of all the numbered images:
>1. We see that NUA has a flock of Wailord and what seems to be Sharpedo in the midst of some raging waves, wherewas A just has empty calm waters.
Could that mean anything? Will we get to see that section during the plot, or can we visit it? Maybe we get to dive there or surf through?
>2. Kala'e bay in A seems to have less land than its NUA counterpart
Do we get to see low/high tide make a return or is it simply a permanent lowtide that affected the bay?
>3. NUA Hau'Oli has been recolored in places and the empty lot has been built (Photo Studio)
Will we maybe get to enter more buildings this time?
>4. NUA has a little beach area on R2, seemingly with a bunch of stalls? And rocks?
What could those stalls be for and could those rocks be a small cave entrance?
Moving on, Akala:
>5. HeaHea's Hotel area in NUA has a beach area as well, 2 objects can be seen on it.
One looks like a stall, but the other seems weird, is it a house? Again, what could those stalls be for?
>6. NUA HeaHea city has a finished lot, it is something different than a Photo Studio. The dimensional research building is also slightly remodelled. As opposed to the one in A, this one seems to have a roof floor? And a bit of an extension to it, maybe some decorations infront
Does this mean anything relevant? Who knows
>7. KoniKoni, the lot has been built in NUA, it's another Photo Studio.
Could we actually be allowed to enter and explore the lighthouse this time?
>8. In NUA, Brooklet Hill's pools seem to be grey. Should they not be orange-hued if it's sunset?
Is that simply a color error or does it mean something more?
>9. A's volcano area seems to be active while NUA's volcano no longer has smoke coming from it
Could it mean they actually made a dungeon out of the volcano?
