I think GameFreak just stepped up their game and made this generation a whole lot more than what people originally anticipated it to be. I didn't realize the image on the lower left hand side was the same city, but differently designed until it was pointed out *slow*. Still, it seems every step we take to learning more about these games it seems the plot becomes more of a natural vs. industrial plotline over ying vs. yang. Yet, there seems to be some influence of both.
The only thought that really ran through my head was if these games take place at the same time. I know it's a silly thought because they're the same games just made differently, but still how does one city look different at the same time? o_O Doesn't make sense, but then again this is Pokémon. I'm curious to see where in the timeline this takes place. Just saying.
Still, if this is GameFreak and Nintendo's way to make fans buy both versions, then I'd say it's working. I'll be glad to play the same game on two different versions and look forward to seeing something different from its counterpart.
I just want the game with the Green blob (still haven't learned its name yet) to be my main one. :3 I love that Pokémon.
