I was wondering why the resort desert is so abruptly cut off from the surrounding city and greenery, leaving just this area desolate!? But thinking about it, since there was an ancient castle here founded by a hero from the past = considering that this area was the center of an ancient kingdom, maybe in the legend, "this range is what Lesizek burned down in anger at the ugly strife among the hero's children's generation"?
>>59104544And people don't wonder this for Hoenn, Sinnoh, Kalos, Alola, Galar or Paldea. Nice attempt at derailment Kojo.
>>59104544Hi Kojo
>>59104557i wonder this for galar
>>59104557>>59104589>no argument>better bring up my ecelebsDon't you get tired?
The brothers of unova, the twin heroes of galar, and the warring brother kings of kalos are all the sameIt's the storyline of AZ and his brotherThat destroyed desert is in ruins because of their fightingThat's the lore reasonNow the design reason is its based on the 1860 castello plan for New AmsterdamWhere castelia city is where the actual city was built, and that's why the cut off is made there specifically
>>59104544Because 9/11
>>59104623Their deserts are just as random as Unova's. None of those regions would have deserts if they were properly adapted.
>>59104660>other gen did it tooEvery time.
>>59104680Exactly, why do people shit on Unova doing something but ignore how other regions did it too?
>>59104718People are disingenuous
>>59104718No one is shitting on gen 5 or unova in this thread. You're just an overly defensive bitch.
>>59104738I'm not defending anything. >>59104544Clearly says that it's abruptly cut off.
>>59104544Unova did this because the debelopers felt a need to force biomes that make no sense for the sake of diversity
>>59104770That's not shitting on the region.
>>59104787Yes it is. Unova is shit with how it abruptly adds in a desert, which no one else did
>>59104804>which no one else didHoenn? Kalos? Alola?
>>59104804>>59104809Illiterate samefag
>>59104557>>59104660Hoenn’s makes sense, and Kanto/Johto don’t have a random arbitrary desert area. Find a better cope, sagie.
>>59104544It's ground zero for 9/11
>>59104809Those aren't forced
>>59104839If Hoenn's isn't forced, than neither is Unova's.But if Unova is somehow forced, then explain Sinnoh, Kalos, Alola, Galar and Paldea
>>59104853*explain how (regions) are not forced
>>59104853>explain everything to meGen 5 fans lmao
>>59104858Well I can't find anything fundamentally different. So I'd like an explanation
>>59104876>unovaNot fun>other regionsFun
>>59104853Hoenn’s desert is next to s mountain range and rainforest. Due to the shadow effect it makes sense.Unova’s is just there because Masuda was lazy.
>>59104881Why is Unova's desert not fun?>>59104893And do we know if the shadow effect was intended or entirely coincidental?
>>59104893What the fuck is the shadow effect?I've studied geography and biology for more than 10 years and I've never heard of it. I know how biomes and lifeforms interact but that term has never turned up.
>>59104927I'd assume they'd mention it. Either Ingame, in an interview or a design document, however I cannot find anything for either so it's safe to assume it's coincidental.
>>59104927It's in an unfun game. Route 4 sucks because of all the roads, the desert itself has nothing interesting and feels like a shitty rehash of Hoenn and has a doctor on it, Relic Castle is another blocked area until you come back later and it's stupid that the person with the fossil basically tells you exactly how to revive it.
>>59104942>What the fuck is the shadow effect?
>>59104942rainshadow effect, ESLs think it's the "rain" "shadow effect" for some reason.
