saspa 07/10/25 11:17:07 AM #1:	Was the Orre region's rustic desert look in Pokemon Colosseum meant to make up for the gen 3 games' Hoenn water abundance, what with its too much water especially in Ruby Sapphire Emerald. So they compensated by giving us this console game where there's actually land (and even a mountain) for us to walk around in and even ride our bikes? Heck even the legendary catdogs showed up on the cover because there's actual land for them to run around in and roam through. --- http://i.imgur.com/0UFI0T9.jpg <cite>saspa posted [p:985723600] in Was Pokemo...

doshindude 07/10/25 11:29:44 AM #6:	Well sort of. The area is desert themed, but you don't free-roam in between the towns/locations. You simply pick from a map and you load in. --- Kind reminder not to defend corporations when they make dumb/anti-consumer decisions. <cite>doshindude posted [p:985723707] in Was Pokemo...
