My only gripe with what we know about the game so far is that the region looks distinctly...small.
Looking at the map it honestly looks like the areas are a lot more unique and varied than in other regions, but it really doesnt look like there are many routes or towns. Anybody else worrying about this? Maybe there will be more dungeons than usual which are kind of their own space without looking large on the world map.
Im bored so im gunna go over some of the unique lookin areas
first is this geyser/volcano lookin area thing. Doesnt feel like any of the revealed pokemon would fit this kind of area, but i really dig this aesthetic

>small
No, you're just fucking retarded.
Fogged up island, either story relevant or post-game I would imagine. Its got like a huge sprout or tree with 2 leafs
>>27652882
The region is MASSIVE it's just that every single route is a water route. Surf is the first HM you get this game and so you have to spend a lot of time in water. Also the first route, if you zoom out, is in the shape of the phrase "ILL GIVE YOU 'TOO MUCH WATER'"
It's pretty obvious where you will fight the captains/kahunas from this map alone.
>>27652882
It's the stylized map, they do that every gen. Unova looked tiny too but was fine in game.

probably an event mythical that will be released in 4 years

>small
put two islands together.
any two, go ahead.
done?
Okay good, that alone is bigger than X & Y's map alone.
>>27652882
>deeper than it is wide
>>27653095
>From this map alone.
>Posts map of entire region
Yeah no shit.
>>27653154
bigger in size yes
but when people gauge bigness of a region they are also talking about how many different towns and routes and other locations there are. this seems to have more misc locations than usual but fewer towns and routes
note that i am not the guy complaining and make no judgment call, im pretty hype for alola
This looks like the forbidden city to me
This is the only ice in the region yet weve already seen quite a few ice types
>>27653129
This.
Here's hoping we don't have to wait for more remakes to get to play in decent regions.
>>27653244
dont expect any more
>>27653030
Alolan Marowak
>>27653253
but Unova was tiny
>>27652882
As a huge fan of Johto and Unova, I'm a big fan of smaller, more compact, more focused regions.
Besides Kanto
>>27653275
Yes, but not as small as its art suggested.
>>27653275
I see you haven't played anything from gen 5.
>>27653225
With the Alola Meowth reveal, anyone betting this is the home to the Royal Family and that one of its member is a Trial Captain or Kahuna?
>>27653363
idk seems kinda run down for a royal family zone
>>27653055
It's this game's mirage island
this is probably my favorite thing in the entire map, reminds me of meteor falls
>battle frontier is underwater
>>27653520
in all honesty though wha are the odds of us going back to hoenns battle frontier in sun and moon
two in one here. MASSIVE tree that looks like its taller than the mountain, and the end of this mountain area that is very exaggerated size wise by the looks of it, definitely a kahuna here.
>>27653055
>it's the tree of life where you get Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde
>>27653604
pretty slim, but we've gone 2 generations without it so, i would factor that in
i preferred gen iv battle frontier tho
>>27653030
wimpod is found here 100%
>>27652882
>Ocean looks bland af
I'm praying this changes bc ocean traveling looks bland as fuck
>inb4 you travel by ferry and Surf is only useful in puzzles and the like
>>27653746
would you want the travelling to be mostly by ferry? thats how I imagine its going to be
inb4 new fairy/water type and you travel the water byfairy
>>27653629
>sunbeams all over it
I'm certain thats a legendary location
>>27653244
They're all in that area.
>>27653520
>>27653604
I think it's possible
ORAS dropped tons of hints it would be in the next game, and it not being there got a huge reaction from fans
>>27653363
I think the Royal Family is gonna be in that mansion on the artificial island
>>27655208
As long as they bring it back I can forgive skipping it. I just hope they keep the Battle pyramid.
>>27653055
