>>55430369You're wrong, Orre is like this due to the game's limitations, something like the Silent Hill fog used to cover the game's poor graphical capacity.
They didn't have the ability to program all the pokemon in the game, they couldn't program random encounters with wild pokemon, they didn't have the capacity to create an open world, so instead of chickening out they used those limitations to build a new region with its own lore.
The absence of Pokemon was justified as a dead land with the few existing Pokemon exported from other regions.
The criminal protagonist was the way to justify the theft of Pokemon from other trainers as the new capture mechanic since there were no wild Pokemon.
The set in the desert was a narrative resource to justify large areas of land without points of interest to disguise how really small this world is, with the motorcycle travel cinematics we are given the illusion that the region is enormous and there is no point waste your time exploring something other than the small towns and cities that the game points out to you.
I can't justify the dialogues, it's literally a bad fanfic written by a teenager.
