It has one of the most varied biomes. You get swamps, forests, grasslands, mountains, snowy regions, major urban centers, beaches, peninsulas, islands, small towns, villages and a volcano, all on one map. This is literally unprecedented for Pokemon and also has not been followed up since. It feels like a real RPG world. And they all feel organic and natural too rather than randomly tacked on.
The cities in Sinnoh are amazing, as well. You get large urban centers, small pastoral villages, smaller cities that are old with a lot of history, cities that are quiet and have their own mythologies, marshland towns, little settlements among the flower fields on the fringe of a forest, and so much more. You get some really imaginative cities, as well—Sunnyshore has roads that are all solar panels and ports like Canalave.
I also really like how the routes are massive. Going through them feels like an actual journey. Each route is enormous, with multiple branching paths and subpaths, and an abundance of things to find off the beaten path. A journey through Sinnoh feels like a journey, not a guided tour through a theme park.
