Anyone else found this contrast jarring?

Still less jarring than unova. Somehow New York has an egyptian desert, the rocky mountains, a pueblo desert town, a volcano, and a maldives resort town?

bit odd yeah.
I know every region needs a sand and snowy area but they could've done a rocky beach town instead but honestly i wouldn't expect GF to care that much

Makes more sense than Galar. You could argue Unova is a microcosm of the whole of the US.

This wasn’t jarring to me because it’s a fantasy world and my disbelief is already suspended from all the monsters walking around

Because it wasn’t all based solely on New York? PokeStar Studio was obviously Hollywood for example even then it’s not technically our world but the Pokémon world.

Are you retarded? Suspending disbelief still requires consistent rules in things like anatomy or physics. Having some weird towns in a fantasy world isn’t remotely the same

If you've never seen desertification in real life that's EXACTLY how it is. You are literally driving along a desert and across a river or some other divide is a goddam jungle with no inbetween

The fantasy world is based on England.

Every other town is based on an English town.

This town, clearly not based on England, is utterly incongruent with the rest of the game’s effort to create a coherent style and feel.

It’s not about a suspension of disbelief, it’s about this single town sticking out like a sore thumb.

So this town sticks out but not the glowing mushroom town? What English town is full of glowing mushrooms.
Every other Pokémon game has various biome towns not necessarily found in the region they’re inspired by. Getting triggered by it is just pure autism.

The place looks kinda great but it's just looks like an average Pokemon city but now it's brown everywhere

Also jesus
TWO
FUCKING
IDENTICAL
STATUES!!!

Pokemon Ranger 2 gave the best desert feel to me (even if it's feel empty and Ould have loved to actual put ideas like the SwSh shops concept)

Are you dense? They could easily throw in a desert area and keep it UK themed - they did this with the ice town, and the fairy town, and the grass town, and the dragon town, etc etc.

You are fucking retards. Regions are supposed to be INSPIRED by real countries rather than literal fictional copies of them. However, i have to admit that while the first 5 regions (except johto) do a good job in making it slightly subtle, Alola, Galar and sometimes Kalos just look like discount Hawaii, England and France respectively
