Is it just me or the world map for Sun/Moon look really, really

We don't know how big each island will be. They might all have the exploitable area comparable to ORAS with plenty of water in between. That's unlikely, but possible.

If you count all the pokemon centers on the map it's roughly the same as XY iirc

The map looks "small" because instead of showing a zoomed in version of one land mass they have to fit 4 of them and show them zoomed out.

If you look at the HD version of each island you'll see what I mean.

>We don't know how big each island will be
You can guess based on the landmarks, like using house sizes as a metric. Unless everyone in Alola live in mansions, the towns are definitely pretty small in comparison with the rest of the series, and you can compare sizes from there

>>28971335
Oh and I forgot to mention basically each pokemon center could be counted as a new town, because most towns only have one pokemon center.

>>28971282
No, I agree.
After the dumbed-down world maps of Unova and Kalos, I'm pretty worried about Alola.

There don't seem to be many routes between towns, and I doubt that there's any sea routes either.

Based on what exactly? You know the art isn't to scale in this.

>basing the scale of the game on artwork when we've already seen that the overworld is huge in trailers

this may indicate something

Although, like the video says, all that extra size could just be the new graphical implications

>calling someone dumb for using artwork as basis when you're basing yourself on fucking trailers

>>28971515
when did I call someone dumb senpai?
also explain how basing the size of the region off of actually game play that we have seen make less sense than an artistic representation?

>>28971511
Stop shilling your video. It's irrelevant to your point.

>>28971560
you have no way of gauging the size of an area just by watching trailers. there are such things as selected camera angles, backdrop stuff that you never get to walk around and etcetera

>b-but it looks huge!

so did XY and half of the shit we saw couldn't even be visited in the finished product

Second region.

It's not. Even if it's to scale it's not small.

If you actually count the potential routes and facilities (look at the bottom right island for example), you have a lot of potential areas.

Compare it to pic related, you can see all the houses and things on here as well. Hoenn is pretty packed but most of the water routes don't actually have much and the map is more "flat" with all the areas easy to discern.

Alola is a standard size in terms of actual locations and you can probably travel the island all around the cliffs and things(see bottom right island, cliffy area on the east side), unlike Hoenn which is more of a "flat" map.

Size alone isn't everything anyway. Remember how big Kalos seemed up to Gym 3? And then you just zoom through the rest of the game?
If the map is packed you could actually spend a huge amount of time on each island. It's nothing to worry about.

Compared to the size of the mountains things seem pretty large

>>28971480

I'm fairly certain the art is exactly to scale as in the HD photos. People have compared the ingame photos to the HD overworld shots and they match 1-to-1.

There are much larger photos than the one you posted, not sure if anyone has it.

there was another thread here where they had dug up the file size for sun&moon, it's practically double the size of X&Y, i'm not too worried
