I was too hard on SWSH desu senpai. SV is fun but it's janky and lacks SOUL.

SV can look like dogshit, but it can also look really good. I think the problems are the horrid distant texture tiling and lack of distant fog to hide a lot of the missing grass LODs.

It's on a weak console. I'm shocked it can pull off what it's done with SV but the trade off was graphical dip from the previous generation, no indoor locations. The camera jank can't be blamed on the Switch though, that's a developer issue. If they keep the open world, flesh out the towns and learn to program a little better the next generation will be top notch.

I think being able to go to all the gyms or headquarters and have everything marked on the map took away from the experience

Being locked into a few cities or routes forces you to get to know the surroundings a bit vs in scarlet I don't even know the town names

At the same time I love exploring the open world so I'm not coming up with a solution just a predicament

This is the same console that pulled off BotW and that game looks fantastic. I'm not going to excuse GF, but I will point out instances where the games don't actually look all that bad.
>no indoor locations
That's not entirely true. There are just far less than previous gens

This. When I had to take the test before the E4 I didn't remember any of the town names and very few of the gym leaders. The open world is fun to explore but the towns lack character with little to explore or remember them by. I would've rather had more interesting towns than the silly gym challenges like rolling a fucking giant olive.

it has it's moments, I won't deny. I think if they could carry over the attention to detail they once had and put a little more love into the towns they could go a long way. The restaurant stadium was cool but it was also one of two buildings in that town (I think) that you could actually enter.

I honestly barely know the town names myself, but I do think there are some things that distinguish them
>the town by the desert with the massive waterfalls
>the port town
>the beach town
>the farming town
>the snowy town
>the town by the mountains
>the town just before the mountain path.etc
I think it makes the world feel a bit more grounded though, having a lot of unremarkable settlements everywhere, but I can see where some people wouldn't like this.

Yeah exactly. I only knew the Ice mountain because of routes named after it and the gym leader because he was spammed on vp awhile ago

Also because i found him when I was underleveled so had to backtrack there

Shit, this is the first I'm hearing of this.
I thought it was weird that all the Gym Leader screenshots were outside but just assumed it was like that big outdoor stadium on the Isle of Armor.
And how all the Pokemon Centers were little outdoor kiosks, I just figured that was just to have heal locations on the map.

Are there seriously no indoor locations, even in towns? Christ.

In fairness I don't remember the Kalos, Alola, or Galar town names either
Back in the old days it was easy because they were just named after plants or colours, but now it's just a bunch of nonsense words and it doesn't stick, because we're just passing through them on our way to the Gym, and then leaving to go to the next one. That big castle in the Galar dragon town? Looks impressive when you're approaching it from the Wild Area, but it's just something to look at, there's nothing to make me *care*.

Open world towns look weird when it's just a sudden 5-storey apartment block right next to rolling fields.
Some town walls, some farms on the outskirts, some industrial districts... real cities don't just APPEAR, they're a gradual transition.

Game Freak's 3D level design has always sucked ass, but they really need to rethink how they design towns in an open world. It looks unnatural.

Why even have towns at all.
Should've just been one major city and some small villages with only a couple of houses each.

An Alola-style Island Challenge works a lot better than a gym leader challenge for this kind of level design, because we're out in the wilderness. I guess they decided they needed both for some reason, but I would've stuck with the Totem Pokemon and made the Gym Leaders be the Paldean equivalent of Kahunas. They don't need towns that way, or gym interiors.

They need to go back to the old town naming scheme. They've lost sight of a lot of the things that made Pokemon what it is imo.

If nothing else, it makes them easier to remember.
With Pokemon names you can get away with them being nonsense because we're building an emotional connection to the monsters we collect. Towns don't have that, unless they have a story that makes them memorable.

Pokemons towns were always like this. Its just more apparent when its full 3D. Its like GF kept the same design philosiphy they had in the 2D era but in a 3D space. and too be honest, I actually really like it for some reason

With the 2D games you at least had gates (be they interior gatehouses or just a gap in the trees) to separate the wilderness from civilization.
These towns seem to lack that, and it makes the transition jarring
