Why Pokémon chooses to look so grounded in civilized mundanity all the time is completely beyond me. It’s always held the games back from the fantasy portrayed in the anime and the game’s
Own prose.
Area Zero is as fantastical as Pokémon ought to be all the time.

You really do gotta love that the game actually tried to make it explicitly dangerous, not just saying something like “super powerful pokemon live here” but instead being like “most people who go here have been lost or dead and the poke-government only lets a select few in”

Hoenn Route 113 was actually pretty unique for the time, with the falling ash, trainers hiding in ash piles, and being able to turn all the grass green to gather ash for the Soot Sack.

Who's the villain of this one?
Oh. It's GameFreak.

I will always die on the hill that such fantastic creatures should come from a fantastic world.

It’s a shame the Gen 9 games make the Switch feel like it’s weaker than a toaster. Imagine how much more impressive Area Zero could look.
27 |
One last villain. Is it the silly Onion Boy? My favorite Gen 9 character.

The entire Area Zero story arc is just Gamefreak going : "Hey let's have Toby Fox write a short Pokemon story!"

I think another thing of Area Zero is absolutely the feeling of "You don't belong here." All the otherworldly architecture and structures, the mysterious crystals and just the overall presence. It feels like a place that nature has taken over and made nearly uninhibitable to humanity.
(Also helps the music adds to it with the chorus and almost synthetic tunes adding to that "unnatural" atmosphere)

Scarlet and Violet are probably the first pokémon games to feel like real console experiences. and it's a shame because if they were just giving more time I think that they could stand side by side with switch classics like botw and odyssey, as opposed to just being great by pokemon games standards.

the villain of...
shitty route design

Honestly weird positioning of this being in a villain list aside, I agree so hard. I wish Pokémon would lean more into fantasy elements in its worlds.
People have psychic abilities sometimes for fuck sake and we never go into that??? There’s no magical places that are just part of the worlds even though we’ve been told to believe it? It’s all just modern day with animals?
Where’s the excitement, the majesty. Lean into the fantasy, give us stupidly unrealistic but fun worlds like (cheap comparison I know but-) breath of the wild and such. It doesn’t go so far as to look entirely unrealistic but it’s got cool fantasy areas and Pokémon could do with more of those to make this world feel more…I dunno. Right? Maybe that’s just my opinion though but really they do need to explain the humans having powers-

Oh gee I wonder what the end of this 33-week journey will be

Insane take to call the enviroment a villain, but you know what? IT SHOULD BE. Maybe not a villain as much as an antagonist, but point still stands, wild areas should be places where pokemon should be believed to live and be a threat in, not all wild areas have to be this fantastical place on the same level as area zero, but having one or two would be better than having NONE. I think it would be cool if we had a combination of "domesticated" routes where pokemon are somewhat weak but friendlier and the wild areas where pokemon are stronger but more ferocious and harder to befriend, idk I think it'd be cool, but this is a mostly unrelated topic to the short, but I wanted to say it.

Ah area zero... a place i would call... home.

You leave 113 out of this 🙄🙄

0:35 Florian nooooo 😭
|
Yes but that was the limitations of the time so sorry they didn't put that on the gamecube or wii in 2003 or 2007 respectively.
Area Zero is basically the "Uknown Dungeon" aka Cerulean Cave. The place where you keep going down into the depths to find Mewtwo 26 years ago.

We need a whole pokemon game that's just a classic RPG adventure
|
i mean, imo this issue was lesser in the 2d games since you couldn't see everything and majority of the stuff was left up to the imagination, but with these newer games yeah. area 0 felt like such a breath of fresh air when everything else was just a random map with some barren towns and random hills.

Not to mention, the paradox Mons aren't just a rat, or a bird, they are actually dangerous and if you didn't have Pokemon with you, you're Arven's Dad/Mom.
