And this is the challenge for modern designers, how to keep a game interesting after the story is finished, the three cities were a good idea but there does need to be more maybe if there was some sort of side quest to do after the credits or (once the console has the power) add additional regions, they have proved that i can be done (and successfully) with gold and silver

Particularly since it hasn't been a good idea any of the thousand times.
GameFreak does not want you to know.

Made a change from having to go back and forth and enter different places from different angles and entry points and kept it simple really. It was quite refreshing to play the game like that
five regions is imposible never going to happen. i did think unova was a lot smaller than i expected from the map standpoint it looked masssive but sadly it wasn't.recent poke games the gameplay falls rapidly after completing the main story.they should add some islands with gym type leaders like the orange islands
Contrary to most other people, I really liked it. As someone said it was fresh, and just generally nice not to have to back track too much.
The only thing that confused me about Unova was why they decided to put the Shopping Mall on a route.

Because you have to ROUTE throught the store to find what you're looking for.
Honestly, kind of. While it's neat having a region that isn't linear (as a "decide your own adventure" idea), keeping it linear makes it seem like a bigger region overall, and that the journey was a longer one. I enjoyed it.
It also helped having such large routes.
Sure why not. I don't get why people complain about that. It's just a map, after all. I thought it was pretty easy to navigate through Unova because the path was laid out for us. I remember how in R/S/E you had to return to Petalburg City to get the fifth badge. I liked that we didn't have to return to a previous town to get a Gym badge in B/W; we just had to keep moving forward.
That never even made sense. It was logical in Kanto, when Viridian was the first Gym-bearing City, but also the last Gym you would battle, and also right next to the League.
With Hoenn, you traveled to Rustboro, around to Dewford, then to Mauville (is that how you spell it?), up to Lavaridge, and then all the way back to Petalburg. Made no sense.

I don't see why people freaked out so much over this region being very linear. I'll admit, I preferred roaming all over the place to find the newest city like in previous regions, but my gaming experience certainly wasn't destroyed when I found out I wouldn't be doing that this game. Besides, I think quality of the cities is more important than quality on how to get to them. Sure, Unova was very linear, but their city designs were some of the best in the series, with Castelia, Nimbasa and the dual Opelucids just to name a few.
I had the opposite reaction... XD I really prefer non-linear maps, and I really love Hoenn and Sinnoh because of that. Always struck me as much more realistic, and I enjoyed taking time to explore everywhere and looked forward to returning to places I liked. It doesn't detract a whole lot from this game but overall I'm not a fan of linear maps.
Is it wrong that I laughed at this?
But another thing I really liked about Unova was the routes 17 and 18. They were really cool cliff routes, and I love it when games have dead end routes with no real purpose. It just gives you a greater sense of adventure when you're exploring a route which has no major purpose, and is barely affected by civillization... aaaaaaahh...

Well, you get the Larvesta egg and HM Waterfall on these routes, so one could say these routes did have a purpose. But I do agree with what you're saying, it was nice to backtrack and explore these routes without an actual destination in mind.
