>>37733206My knee jerk reaction was worrying that the region looked small. But that's gone away now. After comparing the in game locations to the overworld map, it's obvious that the overworld map is omitting a lot of shit.
The specific example I'm thinking of is the upper left section of the map where there is a visible gym. It has pointy beam projections rising up.
You can see this exact location in the game footage shown and the game footage has far more houses and buildings and a bunch of visible paths even behind the gym, not to mention a path leading to the gym.
None of this is visible in the overworld map.
This is in direct contrast to the Alola map. Island 1 was pretty much a 1:1 redraw of what the in game models showed.
I'm hopeful.
