The music made you feel like your journey was about to begin, and the visuals gave an air of grandiose design to the whole thing. It was a perfect bridge between the setup of the game (first two gyms, limited mon variety, tutorial for beginners, setup of plot) and the actual start of the game. It's a good symbolic piece and it builds the rest of the game up from there. (All of the other bridges help drive home the point that it's a transitory thing, too, and it adds cohesion to the region.)
Very, very good.
