ITT: Discuss Map Differences

>10. Royal avenue place in NUA has the empty lot built, the building is neither a Photo Studio, nor the same as the one in HeaHea
Striped roof building, well I wouldn't hold out hope it's anything relevant.
Moving to UlaUla
>11. Malie is the same except the lot has been built. Building is different from Photo Studio/HeaHea and Royal avenue building
Seems we still won't be able to enter that barred building..
>12. Malie Garden seems the same, except half the water in the lake seems to be drained in NUA
What could that mean? Or is it just a color error? Can we actually see that tower and enter it this time?
>13. In NUA, the fog around the meadow is gone (and the route above too)
Is that even relevant?
>14. In NUA, Po Town no longer has a raincloud over it
Could it mean it is restored now? What buildings could it have when it's not raided by Skull? What does that mean for Skull if it's the case?
>15. In NUA, the league is visible on mount Lanakila
Does that mean we have an actual timelapse from the events of SM even though this is not a direct sequel? Could it mean GF combined the concept of a year time-skip with an alternate universe?
>16. 2 objects (stalls?) visible on the small beach in NUA's UlaUla
This game sure has a lot of stall-looking objects, what are they?
>17. In A, the Pelago(?) island is covered in clouds while the one in NUA is clearly visible
Does it mean anything or is it simply bc PokePelago isn't a new feature anymore?
Moving on, things on and around Poni
>18. In NUA, there are rocks around the geysers on Poni island.
We won't be able to surf there I guess, but what's the point?
>19. Neck island seems less green in NUA
Do these games have some drought going around or what?
Cont. in next post

All the inland water except for half of Malie Garden is colored grey. Even parts of the sea where the blue and orange meet are colored grey. It's just a weird coloring choice, it doesn't mean anything. They're not dried up or something. You can even still see the same waves drawn into the alter lake.

Man you didn't even point out the crater on the side of the mountain.

>20. The cloud thing on the bottom left of the A map is significantly smaller and more transparent than the bigger/thicker cloud in NUA
Could it hide some post-game area like 4/5 games before these did?
>21. Random rocks at the bottom part of Poni island are now gone.
Could it mean we can surf there now, and can we surf to Neck island (even though the magikarp boat is still there in the trailer) ?
>22. Wow, Palkia/Dialga clouds!! What did they mean by this???
Lulno, they seem to be trolling us again, this means nothing most likely, but hey, neat easter eggs.
>23. The obvious dark cloud above Poni in NUA
It kinda resembles the distortion world, I sure hope it's something equally cool to that.
>24. Just a small note that most clouds around the map seem to be the same in A and NUA, except that one thick cloud on the bottom left.
Side note, this particular cloud looks like one of the Unova genies.
That is all there is to the maps, discuss anything related at will. Your hopes, dreams, expectations, disappointments, and so on.

Damn, I knew I forgot one of my images... wellp, thanks, anon!

>8. In NUA, Brooklet Hill's pools seem to be grey. Should they not be orange-hued if it's sunset?
What do you get when you mix blue and orange?

>>33332046
8 and 12 are just weird lighting.

>>33332046
>people so desperate that are literally yelling at clouds
lmao

>>33332117
>>33332097
>>33332119
Yeah, I know most inland water has that color, but somehow, the pools looked like a grey that is too clear to be lighting.
And the garden thing is too weirdly cut in the middle, so it might not be just lighting, but it might also be that.
>>33332129
I don't know what you mean anon, if you're blind and can't see cloud shapes, that's on you. I'm not saying they mean anything, but they're there.
It's a fact that 4/5 games before these had post-game locations hidden behind clouds, it's not being desperate.

>>33332151
people always see all kinds of shapes irl clouds it's just a characteristic of the human brain, there are no clouds shaped after legendaries stop being autistc

So basically more beaches and a few new buildings

People who were expecting entirely new cities/islands were delusional as fuck, this is more like an Emerald/Platinum-tier map upgrade than BW2 (though there could be a new postgame island or something, but it's not going to be anything too big)

the trailers also showed new areas that aren't really visible on the new map, so the map itself isn't 100% indicative of what we can get.
Still though, these games were always gonna be a glorified third version, but this time there's some hope that maybe they did combine a timelapse with the whole alternate universe thing of third games

Also, fixed picture with the added crater

>>33332176
This is the same thing as when people saw lugia or ho-oh in the clouds on previous game maps. And the game comes along and they're not connected to the game at all.

>>33332765
Yeah, but the clouds were there anyway and shaped like them anyway. It could have been some nod to the upcoming VC Gold/Silver or it could have been nothing at all.
The Palkia and Dialga clouds are also there even if they are nothing but easter eggs that mean jackshit

Upon closer inspection, it seems there's a cave entrance where that added crater thing is, so I guess we also get a new cave to explore?

friendly reminder that the pikaplace and the new chinese farmer forest are invisible on the map, so it's still possible we have more new areas to find
