5th Gen What do you think of Unova as a whole?

[Mew~]

What do you think of the Unova Region as a whole? I know a lot of people belive it's way too small compared to other regions. A lack of different enviroments compared to other regions. I know we had the season system but those are just a few tile and pallet changes. It's also quite small in comparison to others. But yeah, what are your views? Do you think that the region could be expanded in a third game or future remake?

 

[PlatinumDude]

Now that it's been brought up, I think that Unova is a bit smaller compared to other regions. I think there could be new areas exclusive in the third version later on.

 

[Anyu]

^Agreed.
Too small, and the journey took like less than 5 hours to complete.

 

[Pokemon Game Fan]

Yeah, what he said. I really loved it, but it was way too short, should've been longer IMO, I finished the game in one day while I was at my cousins house..

 

[Aaron40]

I'm not in to story lines that much I just want to complete the game and then start EV training so I liked it.

 

[echolocated]

I agree. It is quite small, finished it in a week(compared to FR, which took me forever xD). I hope the third version will have more areas to explore as well.

 

[Payday]

I agree, it was underdeveloped. I mean, it's supposed to represent america, but it's smaller than the others? Seems a bit off. I also thought the story didn't explore it enough; by the time you were done with the story (which was too short) you had only explored half the region, and then you had to explore the rest of it with very little motivation... I have motivation problems after the storyline ends in Pokemon games.

It definitely did not live up to Hoenn (my favorite region), in my eyes.

I like some of the cities in the Unova region such as Nimbasa and Castelia City, but I can agree with most of the people in this thread of this region being a bit too small. I also don't like the way the region is designed while being compared to the other regions because the Unova region has to go in a circle. I hope they change that in future Pokemon games that are for the Unova region.

I didn't really like unova that much i thought sinnoh was a lot better.
Oh and so were the pokemon.

 

[Legendary Silke]

Unova... it's kinda small and linear, but then again, it's also devoid of old things that made things a bit cumbersome in the past generations. I think I like it, huh? It's also probably the most challenging region yet to me. The level progression is unforgiving for some reason...

The best thing that Unova had going is the starters. XD I looooooooove Snivy and co. Same with Oshawott. I think they're just too cute. *blush*

 

[Ho-Oh]

It's small, yeah, but it still seemed big because there was so much to explore! I mean it was a brand new region, whole lot of new things, etc. I'd have loved if each route was expanded a little, if they added one or two more cities somewhere AND allowed you to surf outside Castelia and then it'd be perfect.

Though tbh, I was kind of overwhelmed when beating e4 because I thought "OH GOD SO MUCH TO EXPLORE" which wasn't really thaaat much. Oh and I don't mind that it's linear, it's just kinda annoying not being able to walk straight down to Nuvema like you would/could in Johto. :(

 

[Minishcap]

Nice "country", a little small though. They need to do some hostile takeovers on some nearby islands and expand.

 

[Ramsie]

I like Unova. It is a bit linear, but I feel like there is so much to do all the time.It seems to me there are quite a few dungeons and such, so there is a lot of places to explore.

 

[Melinda]

I pretty much love Unova, except for its size like everyone said.
They could have put in more for us to do in Unova.
Other than that, I love this region. :)

 

[TwiDragon]

This is one of my favorite regions. I wish it were a bit bigger, but it was fun. It didn't have a lot of wasted areas like D/P did. You spent a fair amount of time in each area before jumping to the next, unlike the other gens there were also interactions with the gym leader and rivals outside of the battle, which I really enjoyed. It gave them some more character (even if it wasn't a ton)

 

[ILoveRobots]

Its is one of my favourite regions! :D

 

[SnowpointQuincy]

B/W really is the best game. (in terms of game design) The only thing it lacks is the Superior Menu System from HGSS (because they were developed simutaniously?) and Walking Pokemon. There is no reason not to do it. Other that that, B/W is perfect.

In addition, this crop of 150 mons looks better as a cohesive unit. Meaning the unova pokemon look like they are from unova and no where else. When you are designing hundreds of fantasy creatures, it is hard not not create a hode-podge of unrelated monsters. This game hits the mark, meaning that Unova has a distinct flavor, and every pokemon here shares that flavor.

 

[Hikamaru]

Despite most of you saying Unova is too small, this way actually a great region with cool design and unique Pokemon.

After beating the game, there's even more to do and lots of areas to explore!

Unova actually introduced some of my favorite Pokemon as well.

 

[Sleepy Tom]

I agree that Unova was a bit small, but having said that, the region has a lot too offer. Perhaps its just me but l felt as if it was different and fresh compared to the other Pokemon regions which kinda felt a bit cookie cuter.

 

[AresHuls]

I agree that it is short and the fact that you need to discover half of the region after the leage, is not very fun.
i liked the fact that the pokemon do not follow you anymore, did not like that much.

The most fun thing, a lot of cool dark types got introduced.
