I feel like Hoenn isn't as classic as Kanto/Johto to even deserve a remake... even though it is my favorite region, I just don't feel like it left the mark that the original two did with the general public. Maybe it's just me though...
When people think of Hoenn, they think of the Advanced Generation and how exotic the Pokemon were. Its a different land far from Johto and Kanto, making it a underrated generation.
Now, that people have come to terms with the far awayness of other Regions, Hoenn has become the fan favorite region.
While, I agree it is not a classic, because it presented brand new ideas that we were unfamiliar with, it still kept to the old traditions of the older generations minus the day/night system. Its where many current Pokemon fans come from, to them Hoenn is the classic generation, because they never got to experience the older games that included Kanto and Johto. (And yes I know FRLG brough back Kanto, but that's part of Generation 3)
I doubt they would make a sequel to RS. So far the only games I see having direct sequels Gen V style are DP.
That's true, Cyrus is still looking to create his brand new universe, and where ever he ended up, he's most likely made a brand new Team Galactic.
Now to the point i wanna make and share. There is a ton of r/s tiles in black and white 2. A huge amount it just overwhelms me how brilliant it is. Heres the ones ive noticed and some others that i i am guessing.
Reversal mountain- groudon and kyogre respective lairs
Strange house- i am guessing the inside tiles can be the inside tiles that are in the stranded hip
Humilua- pacifidlog town
The plasma frigate- the inside tiles kind of remind me of the space center in r/s
Lentimas town- that route after the mountain lift cart
the route near the seaside cave also reminds me of the r/s route to victory rd
I just thought this was interesting. It may also point out a earlier release to a r/s revamp than some might expect.
Now is there any maps you guys have noticed in bw2 that are similar to rse?
Ok, so I did find it weird about Reversal mountain, theirs absolutely no point but to show the differences between Black and White version. Truly it makes no sense to me, Heatran in Black 2 just doesn't go with a water themed cave. But in White 2 he does, because its a lava filled cave.
Strange house, I found nothing really related to Hoenn. At all. Its just a continuation of the story from where that one little girl disappeared from Marvelous bridge.
Himilua town is very much similar to Pacifidlog town which I found a bit suprising why they would add a water town and gym.
The Plasma Frigate, its just the frigate owned by Team Plasma, its their mobile base, it may have similar tilesets with the Moss Deep Space Center but that's it. I don't really see anything there, however, when I was there in the aftergame, a Team Plasma member did say: "The Sky sure is Vast." I thought that was pretty interesting thing to say.
Lentimas Town is a town made out of Adobe structures. The only thing I find similar between Lentimas Town and Hoenn is that both Lentimas and Lavridge are right by a Volcano.
The route to seaside cave, I don't see much similarity between Hoenns sea route to Victory Road and Seaside caves water route, besides the small push to the right of the route and then the push up north, in which case it does look somewhat similar to Hoenns, except without the waterfall, and the only reason I say somewhat is because the route to the north is short just like it is in Hoenn.
These are great findings by the way. I don't think anyone has payed much attention to these.
