>>38103798>Low visual varietyWrong, it's literally the only fiery area in the game, and it looks distinct from all other routes in Alola.
>Route has no intricacyIt loops around itself which is nice, and having the boss area at the midway point instead of the end is nice. It's not great, just an average route design.
>>38103825>It's in Ruby and OR too.Nope, the Magma hideout is in slateport in those games. Did you not play Gen 3? Wela has tall grass, the Emerald Magma Hideout works like a cave with random encounters everywhere.
>>38103838>In EmeraldHow does that contradict what I said? It's only in the third version and NOT in ORAS. It's only located in the Jagged Pass in Emerald. Ruby, Sapphire and ORAS only have the Slateport Aqua/Magma hideout with the masterball.
