>>46439969I understand the point of the image and I agree in principle that an actual 're-imagining' rather than remake is a better idea - especially with Let's Go, before seeing the map I really wanted an actual Kanto reimagining rather than straight remake, given that we had seen it a billion times before I didn't think that would be too much to ask and I don't see who would be wanting a straight 1:1 Kanto recreation considering any cunt can get a dozen different variations of Kanto on emulators on their phone at less effort than it takes to order a take-out meal
With that being said, 'what they were trying to convey despite the technical limitation of the era' is disingenuous as fuck. Gen 4 doesn't look that way because of the era, Pokemon developers were hacks then and they're hacks now. There were full 3D experiences on the DS, and plenty of RPGs that broke free from the grid-based bullshit on the GBA (probably even the GBC too). They chose that grid shit back then and they're choosing it now. The laziness we're seeing in the Sinnoh remakes has been over a decade in the making, it hasn't just come out of nowhere.
