>>53813873It wasn't the engine, it's just that the towns and cities in SV weren't implemented in to the world with care.
There's no rhyme and reason to them, they're just plonked down on the map without any thought.
Notice how the pathways and roads just end abruptly at the edges of the towns/cities? Notice how all of the towns/cities are situated on flat planes? Notice how all of the towns/cities are just fucking squares like the GameBoy games? Notice how the towns/cities do absolutely nothing with the surrounding terrain?
I honestly think it was intentionally done this way, because GAME FREAK probably thought it would be too hard for kids to tell where each town/city begins and ends. Wouldn't surprise me.
