>>55274883I don't disagree a proper 3D experience of Hoenn would be awesome.
but PLA wasn't just cool because it was open world. It was also about the region in the past. Why waste a legends game on it?
Sinnoh is a modernized region.
There are giant cities and buildings everywhere, big bridges, solar panel walkways, an entire underground tunnel system that has pipes going to the surface, etc. So to see the land stripped bare and ruled by the elements in Hisui.
Hoenn?
The routes are already pretty barren of any modern tech and ruled by nature. Sure you have the occasional weather institute or space shuttle but for the most part plenty of people still live simple lives in wooden houses with straw tops next to tropical forests.
I think any other region (besides Alola, which has the same "problem") would have a very clear distinct aesthetic theme they could use.
