Say what you will say about Kalos, but the fact that most of

Kalos appreciation thread?
I liked how they realized Lumiose is too big and put three pokecenters in it.

>>26812634
I like that the Halloween/Fairy areas are right next to each other. Gives you a concentrated burst of supernatural.

>>26812737
You mean the swamp south of Laverre? Yeah. That abandoned playground is top tier. I actually like all those small details they have around Lumiose. The playground, the skate park, and the fishing docks are really neat and give a sense of realism of a "bigger Lumiose".

>>26812634
I'd like to visit that snowy forest behind Abomasnow Mountain.

I love this area in Kalos, probably one of my favourite areas of the entire series.

>>26812634
I never noticed.

>>26811805
All regions (except Hoenn probably) have their rivers start from the mountains and line up on the map.

>>26814335
Yeah, but Kalos' are just so expansive and everywhere. Almost all the routes have a place where you can see a river/water.

>>26811805
That's cool anon, too bad the climate doesn't make sense

>>26812634
That's not for simplicity, it's because the rest of its closed when you first enter

I need to replay x&y. I forgot just how toptier the music is.

That's probably one of the best tracks, the rest isn't too hot

I was actually disappointed how boring I found it replaying it, I used to defend it too

>>26814596
There's nothing wrong with that. XY certainly have their strong points alongside their weak ones. Take Sycamore's theme for example, it's good.

>>26814615
Theme wise it's fine. Just the whole game felt very average and took no risks or is really memorable

>start game in the normal routes, spring
>move onto the costal and warm routes, summer
>next the routes with dying leaves, autumn
>then the routes with snow, winter
>finally the normal routes once more, spring again

I always loved the seasons of traverse in Kalos

>>26814629
I've always preferred Unova's seasons and route changes

>>26814629
Wait, so is Kalos the only game with a canon time period? Like, the whole journey took place in a year?

>>26814654
It supposed to be the "climate" of the region, Unova actually changes seasons

>>26814654
well that's a headcanon way of looking at it

it was most likely meant to be an aesthetic progression though, not a literal one

>>26814629
This. They really made the transition well, and the Pokemon distribution was great for each season. Kalos is one of my favorite regions for that reason; it was so comfy.

>>26814690
It was pretty obvious that it was supposed to be the seasons. Just about everybody noticed it.

>>26814706
I didn't. That stretch between Anistar and Snowbelle really faked me out. You go snow > no snow > snow again.

>>26814706
a year long time lapse is never mentioned once in the actual plot. Or any time lapse for that matter.

like I said it's one of those things that's a good headcanon to have, but it's not really official. go ahead and believe it's what happened if you want. I do too.
