    For scenarios like these, I feel like the anime is the best source of how big these towns and cities can be, especially given the programming limitations he mentioned at the beginning. Also, it's been a somewhat popular theory that the tiny depictions of the towns in the games are because we are seeing them through the narrow world view of the player character, a child pokemon trainer. They would probably only perceive the more important locations and buildings for them: gyms for league badges, pokemon centers for healing, poke marts for buying health items and pokeballs. Plus a few other places for important items and npc info that is purely on the game side. Would also explain why, up until like gen 5, we never saw actual roads in these regions. Like, where did your moving van come from in gen 3? And how do any of these npcs travel to other locations without huffing it through the woods on foot for several days?
    I'm sure there plenty of holes in this, but hey, it's just a theory.

    For pacifidlog its worth noting that raft cities actually exist in real life and although you need to carefully prep for them ocean storms are not a major problem as there are plenty of countermeasures in place including ones that would not be visible to the player in the games which can be assumed to exist

    • @blackmantis1511
      @blackmantis1511 2 года назад +34

      Also to address his resource concern, it seems to be like maybe 5 miles from a major port (Slateport), so outside of really massive storms getting supplies there wouldn't be particularly difficult. Also another comment mentioned something I forgot, Sky Pillar is right next door, which houses Rayquaza, meaning Pacifilog probably only ever gets storms when both Rayquaza leaves the tower, and there happens to a storm on the way, so honestly they probably don't really have inclement weather, ever.

    I'm curious what your thoughts are on towns from Scarlet and Violet. My vote on the worst town there (assuming the "Ice gym city" doesn't qualify since it's literally only a pokemon stand, gym, and one battle court) would have to be the Ghost type gym. Aside from the obvious "It's cold" and "it's up a mountain making supply routes questionable" arguments, the gym leader is a renown DJ that requires an opening act and a pre- and post- battle set every time a gym challenger challenges them. What if you don't want that EVERY NIGHT? Are you going to say something to them and either get humiliated in a rap battle or have your pokemon beaten up by a gym leader? On top of all that, those snow-covered peaks tower immediately over the town, and nobody is concerned about an avalanche (maybe, I don't know... a SOND INDUCED AVALANCHE?!)

    • @SKuusk95
      @SKuusk95 Год назад +39

      I find your assessment of Montenevera quite on point. I may not know much about the dangers of avalanches, but having a somewhat LOUD sound-related gym up in the snowy mountains does seem a bit... questionable. Also, I'm not quite sure on the accessibility, as every time I've visited it has been climbing randomly over the snowy hills or flying to the nearest Pokestop, so I'm not sure if there's a walkable route you can use. There probably is something, though.
      Also, while not nearly as bad, but I'd rather not live in Cascarrafa either. It may be a nice and rather blooming city, but the lowest part gets buffeted by sandstorms from the neighbouring Asado desert. Which does not seem pleasant.

    They actually did something interesting for Sword and Shield. Chairman Rose is the head villain and most of the rest of the league representatives have to follow his command. Even Leon, the champion before the player, is given a lot of trouble for delaying or outright saying no to obeying corrupt orders. It was an interesting change from the typical evil team. But that does mean I'd be skeptical about living ANYWHERE in Galar.

Pokémon needs to drop this twist villain rubbish because that bollocks doesn't work without good storytelling. It only works in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

    I think having a tropius would help a lot since you can find them in the nearby route and they can also just fly you up the treehouse platforms and carry your stuff for you. Plus with their long necks, they would make a great lookout for any danger.

      i lived in dallas as a child. before that, i lived in chicago (and later moved back to 🥶)
      back in chicago, my community was fairly religious (jewish). in religious jewish day schools, weather meant nothing and they'd make you tredge through the snow because we're _that_ obsessed with learning. high school was worse. if you had an english paper to turn in or a presentation for one of your judaic classes, it didn't matter if the roads were closed. secular classes would _sometimes_ get cancelled, but that was usually due to the teachers not being jewish and the head rabbis felt it unfair to make them go through the same level of torture. 🤣
      anyway, it turned out that dallas was very different. in 3rd grade, we got just over an inch and a half of snow one day and they closed the school. i think it might have been the first time i remember even having a snow day. people were scrambling to buy firewood before the roads closed and i s2g it was only like 30 degrees fahrenheit.

      As a person who has lived in Texas and in a tropical country, I can say that the heat in Texas during summer is a more extreme, but it does get colder during the winter. In the tropical country I live in now, heat doesn't get as extreme as it does in Texas during the summer, but instead it lasts pretty much all year long. The only difference is that half of the year it rains almost all the time, and half of the year it doesn't.
      That being said, while I'm used to living in hot places, I really would love to be somewhere cold for a change. While I was in Texas winter was actually my favorite time of the year because it was colder.

    How to get your groceries up a ladder? Use a backpack. Like the ones that can fit 99 potions and a bike in them.
    If you would live in a village that is just treehouses or floating on water you would get used to it. You're comparing it to your lifestyle, but those aren't bad places to live in. Especially in the Pokémon world.
    The storm argument is apparently not a problem since the village exists and people live there. The rafts are probably secured underneath.
    Snowpoint City must be in its winter state because there are trees growing which can't happen in a tundra biome. It's probably a Taiga biome. So no eternal ice. The same goes for Snowbell city and Freezington. It's not snowing forever.

    A feat that’s arguably only equaled by team yell with Spikemuth, and only really surpassed long term by Team Rocket / Rainbow Rocket. Mainly because by the time you show up and give them what for in the generation one games, they’ve already established themselves as ma massive organised crime syndicate, that had enough going for it that they keep coming back after each consecutive smack down they get. (Yes they basically have nostalgia and plot armour on their side, but that’s besides the point)

      The Tapus can supress or redirect any volcanic activity. Koko to control the volcanic lightning and push away smog, Fini to cool the lava, Bulu to plant new growth, Lele to heal anyone hurt by the volcano.

    You do realize that most of your food supply concerns would be resolved by the fact that ALL Pokemon Centers effectively have teleporters. If I can store a berry all the way in "Oldale Town" Center's PC and then withdraw it from "Mossdeep City" Center's PC, I'm pretty sure that officials could have supplies transported the same way.

      Especially funny to worry about that in Blackthorn, a city full of Dragon trainers who's Pokemon can Fly them across the region in mere minutes. There aren't easy land routes into the town because there don't need to be.

    Blackthorn City having a fairly safe exit at least helps. In emergencies they can evacuate down the mountain even if returning is slower and more difficult.
