It's been a long time since I played Sapphire, but I thought that the area where you grab one of the orbs (the one with all the ghosts) was located next to a beach? Does that have something to do with Phoebe's attire? Honestly, I like the unpredictability of it. Themes are good, but it gets old lol.
All I care about is that the game has a baseline challenge to it and that the Gym Leaders/Elite 4 update and remain challenging as we go from the end game to the post game. I know these are remakes and not sequels, but I always wanted the game to have more stuff to do at the end, not that collecting doesn't give you enough to do, but it would be great to have repeatable challenges and whatnot. I mean, in Gen 5 the Elite 4 upgraded after their initial defeat, but in X/Y they don't. It seems like such an odd tradition to not carry over.
Mt. Pyre is near Lilycove, if that helps. It's surrounded by a lake but I doubt that has any impact on Phoebe's clothes. Honestly, when I first played Ruby I thought she was a water type trainer from her outfit. Her clothes could have some influence from Hoenn itself (tropical) and Lilycove.
I found the Elite Four of Hoenn to be generally... well, okay. I didn't really like Glacia because she isn't REALLY an ice type trainer and she seems rather distant. You could say the same for Lorelei in the Indigo League for water types but... The attitude...

I use items for help.
Thanks, Ms Obvious Glacia.
I loved Drake because he looks so badass. Phoebe and Sidney are fine... Yes Phoebe can be "childish" but it helps to change the mood of the E4 battle.
