Slight amendment, I didn't realize Platinum came out before HGSS, I thought it was like gen 3 where the remake was before the 3rd game. So Platinum specifically would have been C tier for introducing the WiFi plaza, but still not any higher bc it's boring as hell otherwise
@@StibWoods the only Pokémon games I didn't play are crystal and green but green is basically blue diamond moon and everything on switch because I can't afford it Every other game not named here I have played it all and X and y are the goat gen 6 supremacy Being super easy isn't a mistake it's a feature
In the gen 7 games, if you feed your Pokémon some beans and then order a drink, I'm like 90% sure the guy sees you feed your Pokémon and gives you a Rare Candy. I think it was a daily thing too.
You got Rare Candies from the cafe owner based on how many beans you fed your Pokemon overall, getting a single candy for each milestone. It was most certainly not a daily thing. What was daily was getting twelve normal beans from him when you buy a drink, along with a random regional specialty healing item.
I assume it’s like how they work in a mall, where there’s a middle platform that connects to one going up and another going down. You just don’t see that middle platform.
Here in Germany we actually have escalators that can go both up and down. When these escalators aren't in use you can make them go one of the two directions by approaching them, but if it's used and it's not the direction you need you gotta wait or use the stairs...
I really dislike the Scarlet & Violet Poké Center, because it's in the gas station style. It feels so rushed and individualistic, where I'd rather put my beloved Pokémon in hands of a nurse inside a warm cosy building.
@@leonardofarias8843actually there is, it’s a fucking open world game you’re not gonna have hospitals or community centers on a mountain or in a forest are you? in the game where you ride literal bike dragons, gas stations make perfect sense
In USUM i used the hell outta the cafe because i needed the beans to increase pokemon affection for the ultra necrozma fight lol. I used the cafe religiously
Worth mentioning that the Pokémon Centers in HGSS have different roof colours in some cities (I know Violet, Ecruteak and Fuschia are different) which is super fun
If the next gen games do include an open world again, I do hope that they return to buildings or something in between, making it feel easy to access in the open, but still have some sort of inside part. Pokémon Centers have always felt like inns, a comfy house to rest in, so SV kinda changed that idea...
I mean, if you look at some of the pokemon center location in sv it makes sense why its open. You're not gonna randomly have a whole ass building in the middle of the bamboo forest.
I remember being so relieved to see "POKE" in Pokemon Blue as a kid who didn't use Flash in Rock Tunnel and Repels while surfing that I'd put it in S-tier for that alone.
@@StibWoodsThe Legends Arceus Pokémon Centers are the friends you make along the way. Seriously, they won't stop healing you after every fight against them.
UA-cam recommended didnt fail me today because this is a great video! I really enjoy people just appreciating the designs of architecture in the Pokémon games. Maybe you could do a ranking of something like Gym Badge designs or Victory Roads next? In any case, you earned a sub!
How about ranking mini games like the Pokeathlon or Contests? Or Ranking the Starting Towns, or the Biggest cities of each region, ranking the final gym designs of each region, the different evil teams etc
Solid takes. I love convenience and the one-stop shop change for Pokemon Center that persisted since BW was a welcomed one. The Pokemon Center should have tons of amenities as a center should normally have, given that it's an establishment centered around pokemons. It's just logical to include trainer gears and healing supplies shop in the pokemon center. Those spaces for pokemarts can be used for other features for world building. Separate buildings? That's just nostalgia talk and no one can convince me otherwise.
A little thing, but I like that the Sword and Shield one has doors behind the info center and shop. It’s always been a pet peeve of mine that there’s almost never any implication of an employees only area or how the employees actually get behind the counter aside from crawling over it lol. The Sword and Shield center is really just missing some seating (and a door for nurse Joy, but I doubt anyone else cares about that 🙃).
I completely forgot how blown away I was by the XY pokemon centers!! They definitely were something special. I feel like BW and XY definitely had HUGE upgrades to the Pokemon Center layout and aesthetic that made a great difference.
Another detail about the Heart Gold/Soul Silver center. Here in Japan, there are advertisement color laws depending on the historical significance of some areas of Japan like Kyoto. In Heart Gold/Soul Silver, in any of the older style towns the Pokemon centers are a darker red to reflect this in the game. I didn’t realize this until I saw Kyoto style 7-11 and Starbucks.
I am and always will be a firm believer that the pokemon center and the pokemart should be different buildings, we got done dirty by the removal of the pokemart music which was always some of the best in the game IMO especially in oras.
Gen 5 started the evolution of what a Pokemon centre could be by combining it with a mart. Gen 9’s are best because you don’t even need to walk through a door loading zone anymore, that’s true innovation
idk whats holding gamefreak back to make an unova remake but BRO. - good gym leaders - good map design - top notch pokedex - not-so-good starters and of course, THE POKEMON CENTER. it would be my end if they would do one
Gen 5 does not need a remake. We need to start saying no to remakes. Remakes are only deserved when a game is so old it's barely if at all accessible by anyone anymore. They don't even make good remakes anymore. BDSP was extremely bad it's not even funny.
I gotta say all my rankings would be based on size and proximity to the door. Pokémon Centers serve less than no purpose besides healing and party management and you all know it. If I could do both at a random kiosk in each town it would eliminate the Center entirely.
Its fascinating how much Gen 3 stuff became thestandard against which everything followed. Its often seen as Pokemon´s dark age, but it was basically Super Pokemon (or Pokemon Advanced), the series´equivalent to Link To The Past, Super Mario World or Super Metroid.
Glossing over DPPt Wifi Plaza but crediting HGSS 😔 they both have it Also i never noticed how much i like FRLG's design like it feels metallic and professional. You just know they get their job done
Thank you for finally saying that Pokémon Center Nurses are not Nurse Joy, but the Sinnoh Center slander hurts because I swear the Platinum one isn’t ugly DP is that way
I think we need a deep dive into Galar Gambling cultuire theres no way the info centre isnt also a bookie. Some man gotta be down 20,000 pokedollars on gym battles during the playthrough
Sadly you need Internet to be able to enter that room :/ Maybe you will be able to get in via fanservers xD I was never able to go there, since back when the games came out my DS Lite/game wouldn't connect to my router. But it later worked with my DSi and BW. But I've never managed to connect my Gen 4 ganes to the Internet xD Maybe I should try it with fanservers again, since the official servers were disconncted a long time ago :'(
@@StibWoods the pokemon universe also dealing with the threat of automation and teenage exploitation against nurse joy's job is absolutely worth a mention! 😆
Ah yes put Hoen and LF/FR and D/P/Pt in B C and D tier, because lack of furniture and plants. But somehow HG/SS with literally 1 plant more and 0,0 furniture gets A tier.
Kalos, Unova and Alola Centers are my personal favorites. Galar's bub design comes close behind, but drops out of the top3. I also like some Anime designs, such as the forest cabin Pokemon Centers from Indigo League arc and the movie I Choose You.
I didn't know the cut scene on the box on Pokemon Platinum is from Johto. I was so confused when I get to that spot, I never did. It was just in Johto remakes?
Utility wise the Scarlet and Violet ones are by far the best, with no competition whatsoever, everything you need in a pokecenter is literally right next to each other, and the color coded vendors are perfect for new players
i don't know if anyone else feel/felt this way, but the RSE PC always pissed me off, even as a kid, because you can't stand in the exact center of the pokeball, and i always liked save and turn off my game while standing in the center of the ball in the floor in the other games
Slight amendment, I didn't realize Platinum came out before HGSS, I thought it was like gen 3 where the remake was before the 3rd game. So Platinum specifically would have been C tier for introducing the WiFi plaza, but still not any higher bc it's boring as hell otherwise

Look I know X and Y don’t get a lot of praise but their Pokemon center ABSOLUTELY should
i was afraid he might succumb to peer pressure but everyone knows x and y's pokemon center is amazing

It always bugged me that you couldn’t stand on the exact middle of the Poké ball on the floor of the RSE games…
My favorite thing about the Unova P.C. is the hexagon shape when you heal. I love it more than the 2x3 shape and the curved line.
Don't let this man cook again

Can’t believe you threw the Ruby Sapphire Center in C tier, when it is the one that came up with the design for the rest of the series.
The Jouto, Houen and Shin'ou Pokémon Centers are great. It is better to have separate stores for better world interaction.
