>>56795001You miss the point
It's not about taking liberties it's about making a coherent, alive "country" (regions are more like countries in pokemon)
Kanto is a super industrialized place with some notable natural landmarks
In contrast, Jotho is very rural, full of pines and screams "tradition"
Hoenn is a tropical country and all its elements fall coherently into place, even the odd ones like the desert
Sinnoh is a northern country organized around a mountain range.
Meanwhile...
Unova is a theme park of america but none of the biomes are put coherently together. The desert, the iced mountain, the forest
Kalos is a (poor) theme park of france
Alola does its theme well enough
Galar is a theme park
Paldea doesnt even feel like an alive country given the towns are empty lol
Pokemon is not mario
We dont need to have a desert, a snowy area, a beach, a volcano in every region
If you must do it.. at least do it creatively like sinnoh did with the battle zone (it's treated as a small, different, region from sinnoh by the npcs)
