>>37295296i love all the mysterious places and puzzles it had to discover, investigate, and solve. It took the ruins of alph and went hogwild with the idea, til its locations sprawled the entire region and things in one location interconnected with things in another.
i want that back.
FRLG had a single strength puzzle in the sevii islands and all it did was unlock unown.
Sinnoh had solaceon ruins which was just a lost woods clone with a single philosophy blurb at the end. Sinjoh ruins were neat as heck but event only and handed to you.
BW had what, abyssal ruins and that a pretty meh puzzle, very contrived, not flavorful, no real connection to anything else in the region? at most it's a vieled "muh twin kings" namedrop as if we didn't hear enough about them already.
Its just sad. Give me back deepest lore to seek out. I wanna play national treasure indiana jones in the pokemon universe again.
Kalos had NOTHING
Alola had no puzzle and like 1 wormhole miniworld with some lore?
