Nagano?

The sky is round.

>>2

Narrower than Attack on Titan.

Is the model from Koshikijima?

>>3

Yakushima

It became more like that in ORAS, just in case.

Why is there no way to get in and out other than diving and flying? Just make it possible to go outside with stairs or a ladder or something…

It’s the fault of the ones who first settled here.

Compared to the protagonists’ hometown, it is quite prosperous.

Anyone can easily fly, so it’s not a world to be in despair over.

>>11

Here, you can only catch Magikarp fishing…

Gym leaders are handsome or good-looking older men.

Passing through someone else’s yard can lead to trouble.

Even if food is not a problem, it seems difficult to transport building materials and large quantities of luggage.

>>19

I haven’t played Pokémon in a long time, but is it more relaxed around here in recent ones?

>>21

You can go to the city (Pokémon Center) you have already visited by touching the map, even if there’s nothing special to do.

>>21

In the tutorial phase up to the first badge, features like flying have been unlocked, and there is no longer a need to teach Pokémon hidden moves, which has made things easier in various ways.

>>19

But I think it’s better than Kinagi, who is just protecting the town’s body.

It feels very much like the Aegean Sea.

Because I don’t know the vastness of the sky, I am at ease.

>>22

It’s a bit poetic.

It’s just a fact, but…

It’s like this place is a cage.

How are you handling logistics?!

>>25

Someone who can fly in the sky and ride the waves brings it to me once a month.

>>25

Well, Pokémon are partnering with people who can fly in the sky or surf and dive.

Even if I concede that it’s okay not to have a badge to use the phone, are there any Pokémon that can learn both Sky Dive and Surf…?

Even if diving is essential, it’s due to gaming reasons.

The fact that it is located isolated in the sea makes it quite a remote place.

It would really stand out if we depicted the reflection of clouds on the water surface of Route 120 here.

I wonder if the logistics version of flying taxis is working behind the scenes.

A town where the legs and waist can be trained.

I don’t like this island.

I hate this island.

>>37

I’m going to Yamabuki City…

Since it has taken shape as a town, it must be being transported by air or sea, and if you take advantage of that, you should be able to get out.

>>38

Why is there only such an Alola-like escape method?

Isn’t it common to have a flying Pokémon in every household? It serves as a means of transportation when going out to the city.

I understand that Kyogre managed to come here with Emerald, but it’s impressive that Groudon has arrived as well.

Did you dig a hole and come from the underwater cave?

Locals who seem to be targeting the young people who came to challenge at the gym with intense eyes.

There is the concept of flying taxis now, but it’s Hoenn after all…

In the main story, Team Magma steals a submarine and goes to the underwater cave that requires diving, so there are plenty of means of transportation available.

I was wondering how the anime was, and it seems like it’s turned into a regular island…?

A submarine would never come to a place like this.

Boats are usually available.

What kind of city is it that the only travel route using the sea is underwater…?

Basin?

To begin with, you know.

The Hoenn region itself, you know.

It’s really rural.

>>52

The sense of adventure is amazing.

The desire not to live there is also incredible.

>>55

The sea is too vast.

>>52

I love that city called Saiyu City, where you wonder where the houses are.

Compared to Alola, there’s nothing here, so I wonder how it will be…

Heavenly Mediation

The countryside is shit.

The rural areas where Ene Cocoa is bad are even worse.

The journey of conquering gyms that started from the most urban Kanazumi has come this far, which is quite something…

>>58

It’s quite strange that the largest city has the first gym…

>>60

Starting from the most populated city and then venturing into remote areas as one’s skills are recognized feels like a good progression.

>>64

What about people whose starting point is remote?

>>65

Cannot get out of the remote area.

The Hoenn region is full of cities that really give off a sense of being remote and mysterious, don’t you think?

If I made a ranking of rural areas in Hoenn, it would probably rank around 4th place.

>>62

It’s crazy that a place this remote can’t even make it to the top 3.

>>69

I think I can be in the top three depending on the evaluation criteria.

I can’t take the top.

>>70

It will probably be Saiyu and Kinagi competing for the top depending on the evaluation criteria…

Having a gym is better… is it better?

Isn’t Minamo the biggest urban area?

There’s a department store.

>>66

The organized residential areas of Kanazumi feel more inhabited by humans.

>>83

Either way, those two are top class, and next is probably Kinnsetsu?

Is it a city?

Is this really the city?

It seems like there will be deaths every time it’s the season for returning home.

>>71

If you go back home to Kinagi, there’s a possibility that the town will be gone!

A town just floating in the stagnant waters of the ocean currents! Town? Kinagi Town!

Isn’t it only league officials who live there? Saiyu City! City?

The pathway to the outside is the seabed! Runecity!

It’s an island talking about some local trendy words! Muro Town!

Tree-top living city! City? Hiwamaki City!

>>72

I think the strongest is definitely Saiyū City.

What is the city when even the daily activities are not visible?

In reality, I think there would normally be people living in the outer parts of Rune, and it might even be a bit prosperous.

That area has been by the ocean for a long time, so it must have turned into a nice fishing village.

Mishiro Town

Kinagi Town

Murotown

Shidake Town

Himawaki City

Saiyu City

It will be filled up to 6th place.

>>75

Mishiro and Shidake are just rural areas where you can walk on the roads and easily go to other towns in no time, so they are inferior in terms of ruralness compared to the coastal areas.

The sense of adventure is incredible.

There are so many towns that require Surfing and Diving, and it’s unbelievably inconvenient.

I think the western side of the Hoenn region is still good.

The quirks of the eastern side of the city are amazing…

If we’re based on the original source, then the west side is northern Kyushu and the east side is southern Kyushu, so is that how it is… ?

You wouldn’t think that Kanazumi in the very early stages is the most well-developed town.

In second place is Kaina.

Isn’t there a route where you can climb up and down the rocky mountains just for the sake of the game?

>>82

If it were to be achieved, what lies ahead is an expansive sea.

>>84

If you think seriously about it, aren’t they replenishing supplies with regular ships or something?

>>85

Stop it with the genuinely unsettling stuff that’s not just a complex after seeing the city from the countryside.

>>92

Complaining in Alola is quite a luxury, isn’t it?

Well, the fact that that place is terrible is largely due to the shitty customs of the cap system…

Isn’t the location of the Nappe-yama gym just terrible for an SV? But then I realized it’s more like a resting area for climbers rather than a gym, which is disappointing.

Hoenn is simply a hassle because there are too many waterways.

There were ordinary citizens who longed to be outside in Rune City.

It might be mixed up with Murow Town.

The words of the old man in front of the Awakening Shrine resonated deeply with me when I was a child.

No matter how you think about it, it’s definitely a place of exile…

In the remake, Kinsetsu had quite a bit of development as well.

There is a shop, but the selection is probably about the level of a convenience store.

A rural area trying to give an urban feel at a department store called Minamo.

>>95

If you grew up in the countryside, you can relate too well…

In a city where flying in the sky and surfing on waves are essential, it’s not good that whether you can use secret techniques or not depends on having a badge…

I am already at the mercy of others.

Surfing, diving, waterfall climbing… too much water for the secret technique.

I like the way Pokémon balances the line between realism and fantasy.

The towns in Ruby and Sapphire have a lot of craziness due to the increased number of Pokémon.

Treehouses and floating wooden boards.

>>98

I really like how detailed the city is in Ruby and Sapphire.

I was surprised when I got any of them.

>>98

I have both the desire to see this area with the current 3D Pokemon and the concern that it might feel very awkward if it were to be made into 3D.

Metaphorically, I have to learn to dive, but just by having that, residents might feel casual about flying in the sky…

>>99

In reality, hidden moves and badges are all for the convenience of the game, so if it were in the Pokémon world, you could just catch any Pelipper around and escape from this prison at any time.

Even if I get a level 5 Treecko in this town, it seems like I won’t be able to win against wild ones and won’t have much to do except admire it.

Kanazumi is primarily strong in full pavement.

I think Tokusané City is quite rural just because there’s the Tokusané Space Center.

Water…? Ice…?

The circularly framed starry sky I look up at in this town is my favorite view.

There were also women like that…

>>111

I feel sad thinking that I just don’t know any beautiful scenery other than the starry sky.

Touka looks easy to live in at first glance, but the location seems to have serious pest problems.

Kanazumi, Kinsetsu, Kaina, and Minamo are decent towns.

Tokusan is quite prosperous for an island.

Mishiro, Kotoki, Touka, and Shidake are not inconvenient.

The area around Hajitsuge and Fuen is inconvenient.

Hiwamaki is strange.

The location of the store is not good.

Rune has a really bad location.

Kinagi’s location is not just a matter of being bad.

Saiyu does not have residents who are ordinary people.

>>113

How are they managing the league…?

Wandering endlessly through the sea in the final stages was quite tough.

I was half-heartedly rewatching Advance Generation on ABEMA, but I realized that the roads are meant to be very overgrown and unpaved, while Satoshi and the others go through far worse, pathless mountains too often, so I definitely thought that those roads are actually the paved ones.

The handling of contest venues varies too much with each remake, making it difficult to evaluate!

Tokusané City is blessed with opportunities for whale watching and has the habitat of harbor seals nearby.

There are quite a few houses like this, you know.

Despite having such an image of the sea, what is hindering progress to the next land until Surf is unlocked is not the vast ocean, but the short river next to Kinsetsu.

>>121

Build a bridge or something.

Perhaps it’s because the residents themselves can surf and dive that it has become this way.

Not like the protagonist, leaving it all to Pokémon.

>>122

That guy in the speedo is swimming by himself.

>>122

Crossing that deep sea with my bare body is way too scary…

>>122

If you can dive by yourself and get out of the island, you’ll be considered an adult.

Is it an old-fashioned village?

The Hoenn region has too many towns that seem like short-term camping spots.

In other regions, there are taxis and such, but this is Hoenn…

Diving deep into it, braille really struck me to my core like a child’s heart.

>>127

I understand.

And I felt it strongly when I read the text I deciphered at the last exhibition of the instruction manual.

If you think the protagonist is probably 10 years old, they are probably relying heavily on Pokémon’s abilities.

Humans can also sky.

>>132

It seems like a dragon with a banana stuck to its ridiculously strong throat comes out or something.

It’s better than the town of Malta floating on the sea.

There are too many towns that seem like they will end up being destroyed by typhoons, even though it’s a region prone to many typhoons!

>>134

So when you unleash Kyogre, it really gets serious.

Wouldn’t it have been better if Groudon had reduced the water a bit?

>>140

The composition of Groudon vs. Kyogre is unfair from the initial position, isn’t it, Kyogre?

Groudon did its best.

Badges and secret techniques are like a debuff imposed only on the protagonist, while ordinary people should probably be able to move around without those things.

If the rock-loving man has a big miscalculation, it would probably be fun in Hoenn…

It looked really fun, didn’t it?

When you buy the software, you first go “Huh!?” when you see the braille label that comes with it, right?

The excitement when you finally reach the place where you’ll actually use it.

Better than Kinagita Town.

>>139

It sends shivers down my spine to think that my life could end on this piece of wood.

>>153

First, I get chills thinking that I don’t even know if I can live my whole life safely.

>>153

This isn’t just about living; it has the nuance of dying…

Since it is a city, if we include things that can’t be entered, the number of houses is relatively high compared to the entire Hoenn region, so it is thriving.

Why is it thriving in this location…?

I was reading braille intently when the door opened and I jumped.

With fewer than 10 households, it’s not even a village.

>>144

If you say that, what about Saiyu City, which claims to be a city even though it has no households!

>>144

That area is usually where the first town is located.

It’s probably just for the sake of the game.

What is living in Kinagi?

Did you commit a great sin in your past life?

It must be an important place since it seals a legendary Pokémon.

I feel nostalgia from the background music.

The location is trash, not even reaching the realm of discussing convenience or inconvenience.

It feels like there are no people living in Saiyu, which hasn’t even reached the level of discussing whether it’s a city or a town.

But the rocky path seems to crumble.

It’s too inconvenient that the Kanashida Tunnel hasn’t opened until the protagonist arrives.

>>154

I can go to Kinsetsu, so it’s a lot better.

>>154

If you forget about its existence, there are times when the old man Fujiyoshi from Kaina disappears after the Kinsetsu event, and without surfing, it becomes impossible to progress.

I wonder what the residents here do for a living?

Speaking of which, is there no grass patch after Minamo?

That’s amazing!

I think it sounds fun for tourism, but I definitely do not want to live in Hoenn.

Thinking that the only enjoyment I have every day is checking on Maboroshi Island really gives me chills.

>>161

Is that old man the result of living for just that?

>>161

Even if I say that there is Maburoshi Island, I’ll just be treated as a liar or a madman…

A region that is one of the most fun places for adventure in Pokémon.

When considering living there, it’s one of the hellish regions in Pokémon.

That Hoenn region.

I shudder at the thought of ending my life without ever seeing Maboroshi Island.

There are quite a few towns that seem to have neither freshwater nor running water.

It makes sense to take a vacation in Kinagi during the season when typhoons don’t come.

Are you living in Kinagi…?

It’s much scarier than Guzma, and it keeps coming out more and more.

Volcanic ash might be visually interesting, but if you were actually there, it would be hell.

>>169

Since you can make glass, the volcanic ash of Hoenn is just like the real thing, a piece of glass…

>>169

The lungs are in shambles, and the average age seems low…

Since I had been exposed to braille in Ruby and Sapphire, I’ve started to pay attention to braille around town as well.

It’s a pity that it’s only in this area.

Reaching a secret location with an amazing setting after a long journey is quite a nice situation.

Isn’t this area just full of hidden places?

You understand that the motif of Kinagi is based on Vietnamese houseboats, right?

It’s harder than over there, isn’t it…?

Getting to the hot springs is terrible because after taking the ropeway up the volcano, you have to walk down the mountain.

Kinagi will die if they fall from that board.

The Seigaihashiti standing on the shallow water exists in a different dimension.

For a person born in Kinagi to leave Kinagi, it starts with training hard to swim, enduring the ocean currents, and having the determination to reach Kaina without dying on the rocky shore.

Life truly begins after swimming through water pipes 132, 133, and 134.

Kinagi has a heartwarming episode where Rayquaza from the local Sora no Hashira saves the world from a crisis.

>>179

It feels like something that is overly advertised as a tourist attraction.

Seigaiha has become much better, hasn’t it?

I quite liked secret bases.

While mixing with friends, a secret base appeared where they were bringing out Charizard, Lugia, and Mewtwo even before the release of FRLG, and we all went out searching for it.

Well, it was a cheat.

A Kintan who cannot swim has no choice but to cling to a piece of wood and end their life.

I don’t want to live near a mountain where magma is actively flowing and volcanic ash is billowing out.

I don’t want to live in Shion Town because it seems like there are serious spiritual disturbances.

>>184

If I heard about the plan to renovate the horror spot into a radio tower, I would probably think, are they out of their minds?

Thinking that my life might end buried in this volcanic ash gives me chills.

Isn’t it tough that there are hardly any decent living options other than Kanazumi Kainakinsutsu?

The neighbor is a lunatic who keeps digging underground at home while volcanic ash continues to fall endlessly.

I hate this town.

Isn’t it strange that whatever is whispered in Muro Town becomes a buzzword, like all the residents are a bit unwell?

>>190

It’s Maracachi victory.

>>191

I’m hooked on collecting Maracachi-themed goods!

Malacatch is probably popular across the sea as well…

Katamario World

A proper town.

Convenient countryside; relatively prosperous remote island.

Inconvenient countryside.

Inconvenient remote island

A horribly inconvenient location that tests you.

A town without residents.

It’s scary that there are craters all over the area near Meteor Falls.

Isn’t it just a town full of chills?!

For the time being, only eccentric glass artisans live in the area most affected by volcanic ash.

But the Fu-En and Hajitsuge are quite something.

Too many cities will perish when Kyogre awakens.

I think the top inconvenience in the mainland of the Hoenn region is Haji-Tuge and the second is Fueen.
