The Unova Region

[Saph]

Unova didn't even feel like a proper region. It was just a flat surface where characters would drag you from plot point to plot point. The feeling of adventure and exploration was completely gone.

yaeh thats true. hoenn was the mlst explorable region

The Unova region is so cool. I love all of the places that there are in it. It has some really awesome places.

 

[Sakrey]

So did anyone take some shot at the concept arts displayed during the Pokemon World Championships ?

Here is an overview to some of them, from PWC.com

There are also some close-up here (along with some Pokemon artwork).

/me Wish I was there to steal them.

That concept art is incredible. It really brings life to the region.

 

[Grey Wind]

Oh wow, that concept art is great. I really love the image of Nuvema town. Thanks for that.

But what is the area shown in the top left corner?

But what is the area shown in the top left corner?

The Dreamyard.

I like the way that the Nuvema concept art connects it straight to Route 17/18 like on the Unova map. It could've worked well too because of the Surf barrier stopping you from advancing that way.

 

[Grei]

Awesome concept art!

Lets see if I get this right...

Left Side:
Upper left - Dreamyard
Middle left - Nimbasa
Bottom left - Skyarrow Bridge
All three right panels - Castelia

Right Side:
Upper left - Castelia
Middle left - Nacrene
Bottom left - Striaton
Upper right - Nuvema
Middle right - Just a Pokemon Center (maybe in Striaton?)
Lower right - Castelia steampunk version

I always love looking at concept art. This stuff is wonderful.

that concept art is awesome

 

[Geekachu]

Wow, some of that artwork is stunning, it really conveys Unova in such a great light.

Small thing, but one thing that disappointed me about BW's release was the artwork of Unova, I thought it was really disappointing in comparison to the artwork of Sinnoh which was accurate (to the games) and perfect down to the finest detail. I hope this is rectified by the release of the third game.

I think I have seen the Nimbassa, Nuvema and the main artwork of Castelia before, when they were released in Japan. However some i had never seen before, like the sketch of the Dreamyard. And I really liked the dark version of Castelia it reminds me of cities from movies and programs where they have been left untouched for decades.

I also enjoyed the Skyarrow Bridge, it was probably the most stunning out of the bounch in my opinion. I love the way the clouds were painted, they skyline in the background and the person watching the bridge/skyline. It is a great picture and would have been greaeven if I didn't know it was pokemon related.

 

[Meowth City]

Wow, the artwork is beautiful. I wish I went to the World Championship just to see those in person and close up.

 

[Aegon]

That artwork is incredibly beautiful. *Imagines home console version/3DS version of Pokémon incorporating those designs* I particularly like the top-right and the bottom-left versions of Castelia. They're packed with buildings and almost look like castles.

 

[centipede2000]

They seem to talk alot about Ancient Unova in the games and how it got devastated by Reshiram and Zekrom. It would like it if the third game was based on that.
I've always wanted a Pokemon game that took place in the past.

 

[Serebii!]

That artwork is awesome, it really shows the Unova reigon

 

[Rezzuréct]

That artwork is AMAZING!! I really like the Skyarrow Bridge artwork!

 

[Paradoxe]

Those are amazing, especially the one of Castelia in the middle.

It actually looks like somebody went inside the game and took a picture of oceanside. It makes me even more ashamed of my horrible art skills.

 

[GrassTypes.]

Unova's ... well ... it's ... eh .I would've liked to see if you could've used the Aiport to go to other reigon's . You can't have it all though.

 

[GrassTypes.]

Unova didn't even feel like a proper region. It was just a flat surface where characters would drag you from plot point to plot point. The feeling of adventure and exploration was completely gone.

I agree . I completed this game in rougly 18 Hours. and I had a Full Team . Needs more Post Game things. Like a new region . It'd be cool to go back to Kanto and work your way through the *insert Continents name here* Continent's region's.

 

[BCVM22]

Unova had half the region locked away and waiting for you post-E4. 18 hours of gameplay before you're "done" is above average for a game of this ilk.

But no, let's clamor for Kanto again.
