Why is Gen 8 the first time no older gen characters had a cameo? Does no one want to visit Galar?

because they can't just port over and touch up the existing sprites and assets like they usually did

that said, looker and anabel would make sense for the UB hunt, Steven for the Regis, etc.

gee sure would be a shame if the last game in the series introduced numerous brand new shiny 3d models of old characters for literally just postgame content

Canonically is takes place in the far future, seeing as how Galar has had modern gyms for almost 100 years

This is actually a good point, gen 7 had so many cameos that it was almost obnoxious but gen 8 has zero

That's how the pokemon league was always intended to be portrayed, but couldn't due to game limitations. (see: colosseum having crowds, the anime, etc). There's nothing at all indicating a timeskip other than your headcanon nonsense/masuda fellatio

You don't actually think places like pallet town only have 2 houses right, and that the actual distance of regions is the size of a board game?

I had this exact problem with LGPE layout, too. I also don't like how they shied away from Kanto's intended over-urbanization/industrialization vibe and just made generic JRPG towns and grasslands.

I'm not sure if the anime is the best guide or representation, it goes for it's own way all the time

Maybe the manga

Unova was the closest we got to having an 'urban' Pokemon game, and honestly that sounds way cooler than just more fields, an out of place desert, and random snow.

The pokemon league is described as being held for the very first time in gen 1, which is about 25 years before gen 7. That means that the league is only about 25 years old as of gen 7 but Oldeander mentions that she'd been the leader of her gym for like 79 years after taking over for someone else.

>what they were attempting to convey
Are you retarded, anon? OLM's design has never been that in sync with GF (especially in the 90s). Look at origins, generations, or the animated trailers for that, Tajiri or somebody even said the manga was a better rendition of the world than both of them.

Is this a joke post or are you actually an idiot? The image's point is that they meant to portray a large city whereas for the remake they basically just took the same GB town size with nicer graphics

Honestly, thank fucking God they didnt include any of the older characters. Most of them wouldve just been used for shilling galar trainers.

They might pop up in the post post game for the UB explanations.

They'll probably do a similar thing like US/UM

Made sense for Unova and Alola to have so many old gen cameos if you think about it, since it's NYC and Hawaii of course a lot of people travel there.
