Thoughts on the changes in Mauville?
I, personally, disliked the new Mauville. Someone mentioned that they should have made Lilycove the main city, like it seemed to be in RSE.
What are your thoughts? |
I don't like it either, Mauville was my favorite city in RSE. I was so dissappointed to see it's completely different D: I agree that Lilycove should have been the main city, if not Sootopolis.
|
I can't say that I don't like it. I think the idea of it being one huge building makes it kind of unique compared to the other cities. Also now there are actually many new interesting things to explore, as opposed to the old Mauville which I always found pretty boring. In my opinion it was so empty, I never really felt comfortable there, idk.
What I do dislike, however, is that, because of the new layout, it takes you very long to get from one side to the opposite, pretty much like in Fortree City. |
When I visit Mauville City for the first time, long after not visiting one in RSE, I was surprised and confused because it feels like a totally different city, but after a bit of navigation, I started to getting fond of it a bit. The revamp also makes Mauville City having lots of new stuffs, like Inverse Battle facility, a whole new park upstairs and all. I used to not liking the new Mauville City, but my opinions begin to change as I begin to visit it much often nowadays.
|
I like all the new stuff they added but I don't like the design at all. Why is everything indoors? It makes it all seem pretty cramped in my opinion. Though I'm glad they tried a new city design, I just hope they don't implement another indoor city because I didn't like it that much at all.
|
I didn't really mind the change. Mauville was one of those cities that was just the Gym, two interesting buildings (bike shop, casino), and a house, so I'm glad they did something. I just don't understand why they went with what they did. It's kind of weird. And, no, Lilycove doesn't have to be the main city just because it had the department store. There are allowed to be multiple big cities (heck, Rustboro is a pretty decent size, too).
|
It was a bit strange to have a city be practically a single large building.
I expected it to be nicer looking. It's also not as big as Castelia or Lumiose despite what some NPC's seem to think... |
I like how unique it is and that they added more stuff, but I don't like how long it takes to get from one end to the opposite. The excuse as to why the guy closed the game corner was really meh. Couldn't GF have thought of something better or have him speak in braille and basicly say why? Yes that wouldnt make much sense, but with pokemon games I like to think I threw some of my conventional logic away when I threw the first pokeball.
|
Well, there was nothing much to be developed in Lilicove. Plus, Watson already had the plans in RSE for the refurbishing of the city, right?
I personally like Mauville City, although it felt more like a building than a city. Also, no more game corner. |
I liked the old one a lot more, but I don't dislike the new one. I do like how they used it to help explain the whole multiverse thing, too.
|
I've really grown to like it now. At first I was sceptical about the massive change, but recently I've been exploring Mauville Hills and what not and I'm actually really impressed. The only problem is that you can't buy the vacant apartment there. ;;
|
I know some people don't like it, but I thought it was a nice little thing that they turned it into something esque to the terminal of a train station. Or an outlet mall. Although there were some weird angles I still liked exploring it.
|
I know the new Mauville City has its haters but I actually liked it because it was something new and fresh for a city design, and the name sounds like it has the word "mall" in it and the layout does look a lot like a shopping mall. I enjoyed it so much better than the RSE Mauville City for that matter.
|
At first I was frustrated because I couldn't navigate it very well but I grew to like it? I think the design is really neat and it's fun to explore for me!
|
I like it, I just can't find my way round very well
|
I love the idea of the top floor. It sorta reminds me of the platform around Gen IV Battle Frontier.
Mauville Hills though, is a mess. It took me a while to find Wattson's apartment. |
At first I was overwhelmed and lost but now I really like it. It has everything the old Mauville had (besides the game corner because gambling is a no-no for 10 year olds) but with more cool stuff.
|
First time through, I completely missed the Bike Shop and Game Corner (Hey, three free dolls!)
It abuses the camera terribly and you get all these jarring transitions that screw up the controls I hate it nearly as much as I hate Wally's "Battle" music... |
I feel they did a good job in revamping the city; to give more of a busier vibe considering it's the only city in the region with four desinated routes from each cardinal direction. First time playing through was a bit of a hassle; the camera didn't help either. That and a couple of areas were changed around, so I stupidly thought that finding their original places roughly would help.
I do like the addition of the Mauville Food Court. Only gripe is I wished they also had Triple and Rotation Battle options. |
It looks a bit cluttered, to be honest

They ruined the city imo. I don't like it at all. It was one of my favorites back in RSE :(

It's kinda of a shame Lilycove (which was supposed to be Hoenn's equivalent to Celadon/Saffron, Goldenrod, etc doesn't really feel bigger to compensate. |
I like the new Mauville City. For a start there's much, much more to do there than the old Mauville. Makes it seem more advanced, which makes sense considering Wattson is the Gym Leader there. Perhaps he rebuilt the city or something? Either way, I am disappointed in the lack of a Game Corner, but I wasn't really expecting one, considering we haven't had a proper one since Platinum (Diamond and Pearl in Europe).
|
The Mauvile in the remakes is many times better than the one in the original. The original, after having seen it in Touhoumon Purple, feels bland and generic. Though something does feel off about Mauvile City being like some giant mall.
|
It was really disorientating for me on the first few visits. I couldn't figure out where to go or where anything was, but now after beating the game I think I prefer it to the originals. It's unique and big, just not amazingly structured.
|
Don't even get me started on that. I hate the new Mauville. Personally back in the day playing sapphire and ruby that was my all time favorite city. I loved it. When I first got Alpha Sapphire I was so excited to get back to Mauville until I saw what they did to it. Breeding is one of my favorite things to do but I hate using the path they have now because of the new set up. I would have rather they kept it the same and maybe added some things or made the space bigger or something but still open.
|
Screw Mauville City for not having the Game Corner. Rustboro City's the goat now.
|
Well, I for one LOVE LOVE LOVE what they did to Mauville! I's like Wattson's dream has come true! =)
was a bit confusing at first, but no worse that Castelia or Lumoise were. What I am sad about it that there's no game corner =( at least they're not acting like it was never there but... still... >.< Darn you, EU gambling laws! |
I like it the most of the region's big cities so far. I especially like the Mauville Hills and rooftop garden.
