No

Yes until gen 9 came along and made all the towns into glorified sandwich menus

>>58896845
You clearly didn't play the games

>>58896839
how is this town any more lame than Oldale town or Accumula town?
Sandgem at least has the professors lab and a beach to the Pal Park.

Agreeing with this that Oldale is by far the lamest town in Pokemon. Absolutely nothing there.

>>58896850
Dont even remember the towns. Did they even have themes?

This answer has been solved for over 20 years, its Evergrande City.

>>58896850
He's not completely wrong, as most if not all towns in Paldea only have one building that you can enter in, and it's usually the copy/pasted Gym.

>>58896852
accumula town has the musicians

>>58896839
the fighting/ghost type gym town from galar is because it doesn’t even look like it should be in not-britain, shit looks mexican which isnt even a bad thing on its own but not in pokebritain

>>58896855
The music if comfy though....

>>58896839
No thats the pal park town nigga

I don't remember any Gen8 or 9 towns because they don't have "Town" or "City" in their name anymore

>>58896876
Lol this. like WHERE IS THE CITY???? Even when I was a kid that had me scratching my head.

>>58896852

Its clearly miscategorized or something but its a mistake GF would never make twice, makes the discussion easy however.

>>58896852
Those second towns serve an earlygame purpose of centers, shops, etc. when the starting town is only a couple houses. Oldale is among the lamer, but I think the lamest goes to Los Platos followed by Aquacorde. Los Platos is also the lamest town overall in a region full of lame towns with Zapapico at a close second.
>>58896861
They're named after food and kitchen terms. Beyond their gyms, I can't think of anything that sets them apart; they're all restaurant hub pitstops to me.

>>58896852
It probably is Oldale. Its only real purpose aside from being an early town is to be a shortcut to the cycling road.

>Los Platos
There's is no point to this place. You can remove everything, but the Pokemon Center and it will still serve the same function, especially in a gen where most generic NPCS are NPCs are non-Interactable.

>>58896839
>Rowan’s Lab theme
Its soul….except for Dawn’s bitch ass making you do a catching tutorial right outside town

always loved non-summer undella

I can't disagree with that, but one must admit that the amenities there are slim.

They got this idea right the first time with Viridian City. The first time you go through there isn't much beyond the introductory fetch quest and catching tutorial, but there's a closed gym to leave you wondering when you'll come back and a side-path to the Indigo Plateau gate as a glance at your final goal. Every other town following this archetype failed to live up to that bar. Cherrygrove, Oldale, Sandgem (they put the professor here this time, that's at least something), and Accumula are all nearly pointless additions to your adventure.
How many of those other second towns had a song made about them? That's right, none.

What's wrong with Sandgem Town?
It has a beach next to it.

>>58896866
Personally I’ve always liked Slateport and Village Bridge (if that event counts).

>>58896839
the "towns" in the fight area are more boring than this place just in dppt alone

>>58897356
>they took this from me

>>58896866
I didn't even know this town had a summer theme until like last year

>>58896839
This shit gemmy, though. It's in the name.

>>58897330
Accumula is arguably the most interesting as it has the most going on and actual map design going on (even if it reminds me of Dondoran from Quest 64 which is not a great thing), has a neat little thing showing off the dynamic music, and is recontextualized in B2W2 (which is a waste as it doesn't really do anything there). Sandgem and Cherrygrove just have a "return here when you have Surf" moment which is not that impressive (Unova Route 1 already does this), but Oldale is probably like the single worst town in a classic Pokemon game, you could remove it and the only mild difference is the lack of a store you can't even buy Pokeballs from until the next town over. It's arguably even worse than lowlights from Gen 6 or 7, like Camphrier has the same nothing layout and still manages to have more going on and Aquacorde was when they were still trying to make the game look presentable.

>>58896850
no he is right, the only town I can remember is the water one with the elevator.
There's also specifically a town where the ONLY point of interest is an NPC trading you an evolution item for some materials. No interiors no gym no restaurant no nothing. Just a Pokemon Center and this NPC.

It's been a long time since gen 5, but is Accumula the first place where the camera tilts down to show off a DS landscape? That'd at least be a point in its favor for memorability, but I don't see how it has "actual map design" otherwise. Elevation changes are ultimately just fancy-looking fences and pokemon towns have those in spades.
I'd almost put it near Oldale. You go to it, see the plasma intro cutscene, and never return again. Oldale is at least usable as the post-Norman path to let you surf back to Slateport/Mauville if you don't want to go the long way around for whatever reason.

>>58896839
Oldale town is just Sandgem town but without the beach setting or a Lab.
Not hating on Hoenn but that’s how it is
