Grass in towns. What's your stance?

Well, if it's used right, it could definitely be a good thing.

And those pokemon hacks, (You know, where you're a pokemon?) tall grass and mega grass in towns is sorta a must have.


used right.
 
I don't see why not, as long as it fits stylistically and you don't have to walk through it.
 
In my Emerald Hack, I've added sections in some towns for grass where the Safari guy is blocking the way.
It's good if done right, but if it's done randomly then it's rubbish.
 
I'm opposing this idea. It just seems wrong...
Imperfection, if I prefer.
 
If it's a little farming town or a ghost town, maybe. other than that I vote no, none.
 
grass in towns? hmm id like to see your finished project
 
Keep it to a minimum. If there's grass between paths and stuff it'll be fine but walking through grass to get around is bad. Look at what the original cities are like.

Grass in towns is absolutely, 100% unnecessary, no matter the case.

Maybe, maybe you could get away with putting some in an inaccessible area (as a decorative touch) but even then, I still don't like the idea. It's too non-canon for my tastes.

OK, I don't like your argument at all. Too non-canon? Hacking is a way to express creativity, get away from the normal canon stuff. So, grass in towns would be fine for a guy who wants to express what he feels his game should be like. Though I do not plan on doing it in my hack, I find it fine. To get away from canon is why some hack.
 
personally i feel that the grass should be at the outskirts of the town or city. somewhere between the route and the town or city

I am having a very similar opinion with our Mod here, however, there is someplace that I think putting high grass might not be bad; daycare garden.
You know, the duo that raised your pokemon and gave you breeding experience on RSE?

-It's inacessible
-It has pokemon that look around
-It looks better than a garden with flowers only, since it consists of the previous two reasons.

Other than that, yeah, no grass in Towns.

Fixed opinion: a smart idea might be some wild grass at the border of a Town, city, clearly within a path leading to wild grass on the next map. That gives you the chance of having different wild pokemon on it.
 
I'm new here, but honestly, grass in towns should REALLY be avoided. It just has no place, unless someone made something to where you could have alley ways, then you could have some Rattata or Zigzagoon, but that'd mean no grass still. It just doesn't work.
 
I get around having to use grass in towns by using wild pokemon scripts with randomizing stuff to make it SEEM like grass, and I put these scripts in the back alleys of big cities, and usually put pokemon you'd see in the cities of anime like meowth or snubble.

Actual grass, if done properly can look amazing in towns, IMO...
 
The only places that I think it would be acceptable to have grass in a town would be right near the beginning or ending of a route, just as long as it provides a decent transition. For example, if a town is right beside a forest, I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of grass on the edge of town. If the map is more of an urban setting, I think it would just be out of place and unappealing.
