Message: I want to trade for a pokemon that is strong in battles.
My favorite region is Hoenn, and I'm glad you asked this question, because I love discussing regions! There are a few things I like about it:
- The climate varies across the region
- Its design is so creative, just look at Sootopolis City and its entrance.
- The region's design feels so connected to the legendary pokemon in the region. We got Volcanoes (=Groudon), underwater caves (=Kyogre) etc.
- It has incredible music. Although I was somewhat unhappy with the remakes of some soundtracks, it still has the best overall OST imo
- The story is great
- Hoenn, along with Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh, feels entirely different than gen 5 onwards. I don't like how they have started to make the pokemon world look like the real world (with cars, etc etc). I preferred the mystical, japanese feeling of the first 4 regions.
- At least in RSE; it has the perfect mixture of being independent (like in kanto, where you had a lot of freedom) and being guided through the story (the latter completely ruined S/M imo, those cutscenes drives me crazy).
- Last, but not least: Everything about the Regis in RSE. This is something I have missed in every pokemon I ever played since RSE. You had to track them up yourself (instead of being lead to them by force) by finding the deep spot to dive, and the puzzles... unbelievable. Cryptic riddles ("First comes relicanth, last comes wailord"), and the brailles. Wow. Unfortunately, I'm afraid we'll never experience anything like that again in a pokemon game. Just look what they did to Sky Pillar in ORAS...
Sorry for spamming your thread, I got a bit excited I guess. :) To be continued next week! ;P
