>>45856621I like the idea of gyms having huge audiences, and while that may be the case in older games I never felt it. It'd be fun to just go catch a match or two when I don't feel like battling myself.
It's also got some very pretty scenery, like Ballonlea and a lot of the wild area. Circhester is also really cozy, and somewhere I'd like to live, which is why Sinnoh is my second. Snowpoint hits those same notes but is way too far away from everything else to be perfect.
And finally, infrastructure. The train system seems really convenient, as do the flying taxis. I'd plan on getting the badges in other regions if I lived there so it wouldn't be too much of a problem getting access to Fly, but it's nice not to have to always have a bird pokemon big enough to carry me if I want to pop over to some other city for whatever reason.
