>>56251327>Also, why is Gen 1 so comfy?The limited region size and primitive graphics give the game a perfect density of pokemon and trainers/sq mile. S/V feels empty and soulless because like most openworldslop, the areas consist of mostly empty space with tiny bits of content drip fed throughout.
S/V only has 290 trainers while R/B/Y have 338. Not even joking, not only is Paldea less densely populated, it’s just straight up LESS POPULATED than fucking Kanto despite its vast size compared to the other regions.
Fun fact: Most of the other games have far more battles than RBY. Emerald/ORAS Hoenn and Platinum Sinnoh have 450. BW2 Unova has a whopping 540. Even XY has 378, when KALOS is more fleshed out and dense than you, you have a problem.
