"The problem with the towns in paldea"

I always feel that the towns in paldea feels very stiff and empty, im not talking about how we cant enter any building or that theres nothing of interest in it (which is a separate rate problem all together) but by just looking at it you can feel how the towns feel very flat, no matter how many (low fps) npc walks around the town still feels like an empty shell. I recently restarted the game and look into the towns in more detail and i realized why they feel so flat, its because they built the town as if theyre in a 2d game.the towns in paldea feels stiff because gamefreak organized the buildings in a way that doesnt work in an open world game, with just a few step you couldve passed over a whole town and it feels very boring. Any kind of open world games ive played space out their buildings so the town/village/ whatever doesnt feel too small and cramped. Just imagine this, theres a vast stretch of land and you have to make a building, though there is already a building in that land, do you build your building next to the first one or space it out ? Will you have the same orientation ? Etc. etc. even PLA space out their buildings better. the line between the wild area and the towns are also very jarring, right after a big grass lands with 0 technology or human touch just cross a bridge and you somehow got to a large city with skyscrapers.Another problem is also that the town doesnt feel alive, in their previous games the large town feels alive with big buildings but there are also smaller things that shows that “people do live here”. The alleyway, storage compartment, a dock, parking space, dumpster, cars, and other small details that could show that people do live there.All in all the towns really is not the best in this game, i might even say theyre the lows of the game that i dont really feel like staying in the towns for too lomg. i know that its their first open world main game and theyre still figuring out, i just hope the next time they do open world towns again they learn to make the towns in 3d and feels more alive via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/KvD5Wx9
