What is the worst route and why is it 214

>>27625938
The worst route is kalos route 1 simply because of how pointless it is. And I think route 214 is one of sinnoh's best. It's got a two different paths thing going on and it doesn't need any fucking hms.

>>27625938
What's wrong with it?
Route 1 from Kalos has absolutely nothing to it by comparison.

>>27626034
This on both accounts.

Kalos Route 1 was stupid. It was like a "hey guys look how cool our new graphics and camera are!", except that they're still behind graphically so it just looked like ass, alongside being entirely pointless.

Also, what about Sinnoh 214 makes it bad, OP? It's got good items, a non frustrating layout, and you can catch both Rhyhorn and Houndour. Seems pretty solid in my book.

You are wrong.
You can only go ONE WAY in this route and, back in rse, you had to fly back to Lilycove, go through route 121, and go to mt. pyre to come back.

retarded fences and it offers you the alternative of walking on the mountain part, but by this point in Sinnoh I'm sick and tired seeing that brown dirt. Also no climate, but that can be leveraged at a lot of routes.
The best route in Sinnoh was either 216-7 or 212

how about best route theme?

Kalos Badlands was the best route.

>>27626152
This. It was also frustrating to put a Tutor overthere

>>27626152
Seeing gen 4 get remade is going to be amazing
>all those pokes
>all that music

>>27626019
this one was pretty weak, considering what they could've done with it

>>27626175
I liked mountains too until I had to walk through one for 80% of the game.
>I like fences
literally why

>>27626152
Look. The top is good, but the bottom sucks ass

It's how I payed for my villa

>>27626034
came in to say Kalos Route 1

fuck all of Kalos' short routes with free healers and 60 different wild pokemon each though

>>27626078
I'm pretty sure it was mainly there to give you a quicker way back to slateport in case you went to mt. Pyre without having fly access.

It's hardly the only one way route though, and having the berry master counts for something.

>>27626058
This one was pretty dope for Kalos, though

Route 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133 and 134 in Hoenn.

I know it's basically a meme at this point, but Hoenn really does have too much water. The part of the game between Lilycove and the elite 4 has got to be my least favourite part in any Pokémon game because of how boring water routes are, and forces you to either use a HM slave for a large portion of the game, or put two water HMs on your water type.

Yes

>>27626058
Literally the worst in the entire franchise

>>27626078
This is also a pretty bad one

Right after Lilycove my play through always hits a wall

>>27626776
My main issue with them is that you only run into Wingull and Tentacool while surfing. If there was some variety it'd be a bit less tedious.

Some more small islands with landmarks to help navigate wouldn't have gone amiss either. But it really is just mostly hallways of water with rocks and swimmers lining each side.

Is there a more GOAT route?

>>27626058
this one was bad, real bad.

>>27625938

Honestly the fact that I can't remember this route at all really says how little of an impact Sinnoh left on me.

But you're right, that's a terrible route.

>>27626058
There is no contest.
It doesn't get worse than this.

>>27626914
I hate this fucking route.

shit trainers, shit grass, shit pokemon, fucking weather institute.

>>27626981
Fuck off faggot, this is the most adventurous route in the series

>>27627001
tall grass, such adventure.

oh look I just got the most gimmicky pokemon that ever existed! and the flying banadickthroatmon!

>>27627001
tedium =/= adventure

>>27626058
>we shall never know what lies beyond the other power stations anymore
Just kill myself up, fäm.

>>27626981
>shit taste

>>27626019
It's fine in HGSS, the only bad version was GSC where they cut it in half.

>>27626034
This is correct.

>>27626078
Nah, it's meant to be a shortcut route like Route 46 in Johto, the other anon was right. It's a little more annoying here than there though just because you can't fly as quickly, I'll admit.

>>27625938
I've played through sinnoh so many times and I don't think i've ever taken the path on the right.

THIS is the worst route, at least in GSC. Why have a route that's 7 steps long?

>>27626914
Based Route 24 in B2W2. Best Final Route in a Pokemon game and best roite in general. Those cliff sides. Those gorgeous waterfalls. That sweet strength puzzle for extra training and a post league legendary.
>>27626932
Dude, the route to lake versity is the most memorable cause of turnback cave, and its up there with the route you find the Unown cave on.

>>27627133
I didn't even know that was a route. Maybe they just gave it that name since that's where the much larger Kanto route was in RBY. I don't think they originally intended for Kanto to be in the game there just because GSC's Victory Road has nothing to do with RBY's layout-wise, like they retconned it mid-development to connect with Kanto after they started adding the rest of the region to the game.

>>27625938
Didn't this one lead to Giratina? I didn't mind the route, and if the only argument is "too many trainers" or something then that's a poor excuse.

>>27626058
Quite possibly the worst route ever designed. All the wasted potential with those power plants...

>>27626217
>free healers
Examples?

>>27626914
It's the worst land route in the game

>>27627315
>GSC's Victory Road has nothing to do with RBY's layout
It's literally the exact same layout, idiot. The only differences are the lack of pressure switches and the placement of Strength boulders.

>>27626090
This guy knows what's up.
What an awful fucking joke of a region.

>>27627475
And the lack of trainers, and no Moltres, and the fact that they completely changed where the exit is.

No, this one is the worst route.

The original was much better.
