#i mean legends arceus is one of my favourite Pokémon games and I love SV but i was so uninvested after swsh

I’m so excited! Pokémon Y was my first Pokémon game so I might be biased but Lumiose city was so cool! It literally felt like a city you could explore and get lost in for hours. I remember discovering new buildings even after like a hundred hours of gameplay.

I keep having this same discussion with my brother every time Pokémon comes up but I really miss having proper towns and cities in the games. Unova had incredible cities, Kalos had Lumiose, ORAS and Sun & Moon had cute towns and it was fun exploring all the houses and buildings (plus that weird thing in SM where you could go around sniffing stranger’s beds. What was that about.) I loved exploring settlements as much as hunting Pokémon, so I found it so disappointing in Sword and Shield that you got these beautiful towns and cities but you can barely interact with them at all. Then Pokémon SV took it even further (there’s idk.. 5-6 (?) buildings you can enter?) Like, Motostoke and Hammerlocke and Mesagosa and Cascarrafa are so big and interesting-looking but they’re such a pain to actually go through them because there’s nothing to do! Also like for all the jokes about how SwSh, Legends Arceus and SV look so awful, the buildings always did look nice! (Aaarghh such a shame that that SwSh and SV were so rushed that they likely just gave up on functional buildings. (i love u legends arceus for having buildings you can enter <;3))

This turned out way more rant-y than I meant but my point was supposed to be: so excited about Legends Z-A, I’m so here for a 100% city-based game let's goooo!
