The map for WW is fucking huge.And there is underwater exploration too!!!!GAMEFREAK IS AIMING FOR GOTY AWARD. GEN9 REALLY WOKE UP THE COMPANY!!!
>>59018060Huge if true.
>>59018060And it will be completely meaningless if they don't include overworld catching.
>>59018060I already checked this out myself right after the trailer dropped, yeah the region is very large, however, its very likely that the density of the world will fall dramatically outside of a couple of the main islands (namely the starting island and main city island)Obviously I'd love it if they used the island setup to basically cut out the filler nothing areas between the points of interest they actually designed (as is standard open world fare) by just replacing them with ocean which comes across better, but I just get this feeling looking at this (obviously unfinished since its from 2024) map, like the islands on the far left and far right (the like, wastelandy one and the snow one) look noticably more barren than the starting island in the center.Also pokemon is NEVER winning GotY, even if they released a game that was at the highest imaginable quality for the franchise, its not the kind of series that wins GotY (also it will be up against GTA6 since the it will actually be up for 2027 GotY due to how the cutoff works). It's like how Monster Hunter will never win GotY, so Capcom keeps trying to morph it into a game more similar to past GotY winners.

>>59018060Not sure why you're assuming the topography distance based on that? Remind me to never go camping with you.
And it'll still be a 400 dex with the same groups of pokemon in every area..
>>59018141The entire point of the game is to have different "ecosystems" on each island, so the different islands will in fact have pokemon distinct from each other.Still going to be the standard 400 Pokedex, but I don't really see how that matters. It still fills up a region more than enough (I've played enough shitty romhacks of emerald that try to add all 386 pokemon to the region to know that it just fucking sucks). The issue with SVs roster isn't pokemon variety, but how static and MMO-like their spawns can feel (which I have no reason to believe will be improved in WW)
>>59018060That's not very big if you just count the walkable landmass. This isn't BOTW where you can climb mountains.>but muh oceanFiller content
>>59018141We only lost 6 people last time
