    In ORAS, when we visit Mauville City for the first time, it can't be helped but to find out that Mauville City is far way different than we used to know (if you have been visiting it in RSE days), now it's more like a big city, which is inside of a big building. What's your thoughts of Mauville City's big revamp? Do you like the old one better?

    I was not fond of Mauville City's new look in the first place, but after trying to navigate and strolling a bit, I'm starting to getting used to it, plus, it adds some new stuffs like TV Studio, Inverse Battle spot, and more.
     
    Initially I was slightly disappointed as I preferred the older design, but after visiting there a few times it's actually grown on me. It has way more facilities to offer, the Mauville Hills are a pretty neat addition and there's so many new areas to explore.
     
    I really like the new design. And hey, as long as the design looks nice and you can move around without getting lost, I don't care what they do with it.

    May the pedestrians fear our bikes!

    Personally I felt like Mauville seemed less like a big city and more like a mall. I think the Square in the centre of the city was nice but the rest of the city I wasn't a fan of, it just didn't seem like that much of a city imo.
     
    i honestly feel meh about it every big land mark is in the same place. the reference to the game corner though gave me the feels
     
    Much like Lumiose City in XY, this area was one that took some time for me to adapt to, but once I did it got really fun. And I thought it was clever how they also included the Mauville Hills and that you get to see where Wattson lives, and the whole thing is very well detailed and laid out.
     
    Even though I never played the original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, I was kind of impressed with how Mauville City in the remakes was made to look like a shopping mall. Surprising for me to be so impressed with the design as I'm intimidated by large real-life shopping malls.
     
    Let's be honest and confess that apart from the nostalgia it can generate, the old Mauville had nothing special to offer lol
     
    I persoanlly disliked the New mauville revam in ORAS. Maybe it's cause i'm so ued tot he old ruby that i enjoyed a lot.
     
    Mauville is more a Mall now.
    I really don't like it. :/

    This is one of Cities i prefer as the RSE counterpart, compared to the ORAS.
     
    It threw me off, and it does feel like a shopping mall which is kind of weird. However, the compact nature of Mauville in ORAS seems fitting to me when placed along New Mauville and Sea Mauville, as if they were trying to make it into a large, modern, advanced city. Which, quite honestly will always feel out of place in Hoenn. I mean, in Fortree they live in treehouses and Pacifidlog is literally logs floating on the water. It's kind of cool and provides a nice contrast to the other cities in the region conceptually for me, which I like.

    I was like oh neat entrance eh? And then nothing it was all the city! As much as i do like it its kinda small for a city and its all in one building. Also the game corner is closed so bad.
    It really is like a mall with apartments above it haha so its kinda weird. And i must agree with the people above i liked the RSE counterpart a lot better as well.
     
    I prefer the new look, I mean with the Game Corner closed down, that would make like 2 houses, a gym and Pokemon Centre + Mart in and around Mauville. That would suck.
