>>35385478The problem is that you're claiming there's inherently something wrong with the classification method the two pics used. Now, you may disagree on how the towns were classified, but since they're being used for a comparison, and that's where the main disagreement is found (that Hoenn has better town variety than Sinnoh), the real important thing is that both pics follow the same rules for their classification so the comparison can be objectively fair.
Now, you may be right on one thing. Following what I just said, the comparison is not entirely fair.
The rules of the pics seem to take into account 2 things for classification: the overall similar sceneries of the towns (which allows to divide them in rural, industrial, coastal, etc), and the prevalence of elements that are too rare or non-existent on other towns (which allows to group them as "unique" regarding their own region).
Now, if we look at the Hoenn pic, we can see beyond rural vs city, it's also taking into note the fact that two different groups of cities can be found on different enough "biomes", separating the ones with a heavy coastal theme into a third group. I will say it's only fair that we would separate in Sinnoh the cities that have a rocky setting versus the ones surrounded by forests, so as to parallel the classification rules used for Hoenn.
Furthermor, I would also go as far to put Sunnyshore in unique too, since a quick glance shows it has a really important unique element that affects the entirety of the city.
That still leaves Hoenn with 5 unique towns versus 3 of Sinnoh, and with Lavaridge on the verge of deserving to make that 6 for Hoenn.
