When you realize Gen 3 was a soft reboot because of the new hardware, the first two towns make more sense. Littleroot is Pallet Town, Oldale Town is kinda like Viridian
If I could live in 1 town in Hoenn I’d want to live in Verdanturf. It’s close to two major cities, but also far enough away to not be bothered by the bigger city residents.
Fallarbor Town is my favorite town in all of Hoenn. This quiet valley town just has a nice vibe to it. To the east you have route 113 with the beautiful rain of ash. To the west, you have the wild waterfalls and mountain route of 114, a preamble to he beautiful Meteor Falls. If I could live anywhere in the world of Pokemon, it would be Fallarbor Town.
White rock at mossdeep was rumored to have something to do with catching Jirachi or Deoxys back in the day, but it was all lies. It really is just a white rock - idk if gamefreak scrapped any plans they had with it, but it really doesn't serve a purpose! Sad. But hope that helps!
I don’t know if the topic interests you at all. But I’d be interested in a video about some of your unpopular Pokémon opinions. Mine would be that I think the Battle Frontier is kind of overrated and asked too much of the average player to even get a good enough team to advance in some of the facilities.
I can definitely understand your perspective on the Battle Frontier in the Gen 3 days. But I think it would've been more appropriate for the Gen 6 days, except they didn't include it 😭
For some time now I have thought that the quality of the prizes offered as a reward for overcoming the challenge of the seven coliseums doesn't compensate for all the effort and time required for that post game, even though I am aware of how interesting the challenge in terms of ingenuity and skill
back then. Won beauty with my gardevoir but never checked out the painting cause i was scared of the art gallery. I find the art gallery eerie thanks to the pokemon manga ( pokemon manga readers will know what i am talking about).
I actually always quite liked Petalburg city. It's where you meet wally and your dad. It has a "return here later" gym such as viridian's, which makes it different from most other gyms. It's where you get hm03 and you are immediately rewarded if you take the time to explore since there's items across both ponds (i think). It also gets to play a small part in the delta episode. The gym is also quite memorable if you are ill prepared for norman's slakings, belly drum linoone or even the gym trainer with the zangoose, which i would say is one of the most dangerous gym trainers in the series. I guess those are points for the gym and not the town, but having to return to the poke center a couple of times with the tail between your legs while beating the gym will certainly help you remember the town better. I understand people have different criteria. It certainly could do with another landmark besides the gym to maybe introduce some lore. But I'd still say it's a decently decent early town
I would definitely go to mossdeep if i had to live in hoenn. Its on an island which i love visitng irl. It has a space center so i could watch rockets launch regularly, which is something i would love to see even just once irl.
4:35 in Norman's defense for not visiting, the game This Gym Of Mine proves Gym Leaders do a lot other than just fighting gym battles. He's a busy man. I like to think he at least uses the PokeNav to call your mom on a regular basis.
"This Gym of Mine" is a fan game. I wouldn't count that as a proof. But it is reasonable to assume that they have a lot more going on than just gym battles
As an English student and as a player of multiple hackroms in this language, I found the expression bullhonky very curious and funny😄. Gratitude for this content, I came to your channel from your extensive analysis of Hoenn seen over four days. Your descriptions are excellent, especially when we must find a relevant point between nostalgia and objectivity. 👍🏽 I whish your review of Sinnoh and Unova, and the same with their tier for towns and cities
Honestly, not a ton of people use the word, "bullhonky", even where I'm from. It's just a goofy word that I really liked, and it seems like a lot of other people find it pretty funny as well. 😊
Dewford town was so awesome. Great music, and a free boat ride with Peeko! Finding Steven and going to slateport made kid-me feel like I had so much freedom 🌊🛥️
People in Sootopolis City: "I'm so glad I live here, it's so beautiful and quiet and isolated from the- ...aaand two mythological creatures fight over the destiny of the planet right next to us. Fantastic."
Oh I can wholeheartedly agree on the soundtracks. Hoenn's overall tunes just SLAP SO HARD! When I played ORAS for the first time I was smilling like an idiot to every remastered track I could remember, to the point the ocean museum's theme made me gasp! Right now I put as number 1 tune the Vaniville theme, the starter town in XY because for a simple starter town, that music was drop-dead gorgeous! But overall Hoenn was the music of my childhood!
Such a great video!! Whenever i think of Hoenn cities and towns i always think of the easter cities like Sootopolis Mossdeep and even Lilycove. I would say those three are always going to be near the top for me. Town themes are what give cities their vibe and when the theme is good then the town is good! I honestly think that Dewford and Oldale town are the only ones that suck. Contrary to your ranking i think Ever Grande City is good but that's mainly because of the theme lol Anyway can't wait for the region repair video! Keep up the good work!
I went to Oldale Town IRL. It is called Saga City and most Japanese people will tell you that Saga city has nothing going for it. I went there and went to a Mall and to Kura Sushi. But I mostly used it as a base to visit many sites like Yoshinogari Park and Yutoku Inari Shrine. I went to Petalburg City as well, and it is beautiful called Karatsu and it is quite nice.
I feel like I have a strong memory with mauville during the days when I have to hatch an egg. I also was slightly roadblocked by watson so i have to spend a lot of time there 😅
I think Oldale Town could've served a purpose, Swarms. Pokemon like Surskit are only found in Swarms in Emerald and to me this would've been cool to bring swarms back, tied to an NPC. Perhaps the "footprints" guy is looking for swarms of Surskit, said to be on Route 102, and after a while you get notified by him though PokeNav to return to Oldale Town he might have found something, you see on the TV which Mons had a swarm appear because these Mons are not recorded through Pokedex. I was never a fan of "unobtainable" mons in any Pokemon game, regardless if they are good or bad. Because neither these nor version exclusive are very future proof. They basically just restrict players from using certain Pokemon, which limits options. I think Zangoose is the worst offender of this. Especially when its supposed to be the definitive version of said game (Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum etc) as for other unbotaianble Pokemon you'd find through swarms have the Footprints guy have friends around Hoenn in different routes where those Pokemon were in RS. It wouldn't make Oldale amazing, but you'd at least remember it as the town that unlocks a feature of the game's design. Even better yet, have it setup an event later in the game too. Perhaps you get something that relates to Deoxy and you take it to Mossdeep to uncover it through the spacecenter. Just something!
You know what's truly Bullhonky? That criminally low sub count, 1 million sub play button when? 😤 Also as someone from the UK I NEVER encounter the word bullhonky so there's just something so comical about hearing someone say it 😆 Great video as usual Sabrina, stoked for the Region Repair 🥳 Also it makes me weirdly happy hearing someone say my username properly. I streamed on Twitch a few years back and SO MANY PEOPLE struggled to say Malevolent and would get very confused, normally saying "male violent/volent" like WHAT lol
Haha well thank you! I also hope the channel blows up at some point. I think that would be super cool. Also, not many people in the states say the word, "bullhonky" either. It's probably a regional thing over here, but even I haven't heard it often. I just find that word hilarious 😂. Also, I get it. Sometimes I butcher people's names, but I really do try to get it right!
HOW DARE you DEFAME and BESMIRCH the good name of oldale! How could you forget such memorable features and interesting people like... Like, uhh... That one scientist dude who's really into pokemon feet?
As much as I like the vibe of dewford, I'm sad to agree with the bullhonky rating. Probably 2/3 of my hoenn playthroughs I got there then immediately had to double back to petalburg to get pokeballs, which is extremely annoying. Region Repair, I would pretty much just give them a trader on a blanket who sells regular pokeballs and fresh water. Maybe a random event where they get a bunch of traders converging on the north beach and you can get some rare or cheap stuff, but otherwise, I like the sleepiness.
I somehow missed this video. If I had the disagree with anything in this video, it would be your thoughts on gen 6 Maulville. I thought what gen 6 did with it were over all pretty neat. I did miss gambling, but beating up chumps before my food was ready was a nice consolation. Cheers!
I probably should've just included both gens in this one, but for some reason, I guess I just didn't think about it. Maybe I'll do a livestream of that one. 😊
Ha! When you forgot moved from Rusboro to Slateport, and i'm thinking "wait you forgot Dewford!" And then thought, "eh Dewford is pretty forgettable I don't blame her" So yeah Bullhonky tier is very fitting. The Mossdeep rumor by the way is you keep checking the Space Center and if you talk to the guy when they had 100 successful launches, that's when you go into space and catch Deoxys. I remember I kept checking and they had OVER 100 successful missions and then I told my friend about that and then he said, "oh if you missed it at 100 launches then you have to wait until they have 200 successful missions". Evergrande always made me mad because...it's not a city. A Pokemon Center and the Pokemon League don't make a city. If it were just caleld Evergrande Island like you said, I'd be fine with it, I'd be tempted to stick it in Bullhonky just for trying to pass that off as a city but that's just me.
Like if you support the petition to change "Ever Grande City" to "Ever Grande Island" XD
You've got my support! 😊
Maybe Mt. Ever Grande, since it's so high up?
Yes, I think Mt.Ever Grande is better
Better change than mallville
The Oras change, not the nickname.
When you realize Gen 3 was a soft reboot because of the new hardware, the first two towns make more sense. Littleroot is Pallet Town, Oldale Town is kinda like Viridian
Petalburg is the one kinda like Viridian. Early gym that you need to travel back to later. So even with that Oldale is kind of pointless lol
I visited Petalburg and Oldale Town IRL. Petalburg is quite beautiful but Oldale is quite boring.
If I could live in 1 town in Hoenn I’d want to live in Verdanturf. It’s close to two major cities, but also far enough away to not be bothered by the bigger city residents.
I agree, I'd also like to live there.
dont forget the air is tasty
This was great!
Can't wait for how you're gonna cover Sinnoh and Unova
Fallarbor Town is my favorite town in all of Hoenn. This quiet valley town just has a nice vibe to it. To the east you have route 113 with the beautiful rain of ash.

You can. It is called Beppu city in Oita. I went there and there is geothermal steam coming from the streets.

2:55 the very best, like no one ever was
I would definitely go to mossdeep if i had to live in hoenn. Its on an island which i love visitng irl. It has a space center so i could watch rockets launch regularly, which is something i would love to see even just once irl.

Well I sure hope so! Lol thank you for sharing your perspective. I'm sure Mom still misses him though!
"This Gym of Mine" is a fan game. I wouldn't count that as a proof. But it is reasonable to assume that they have a lot more going on than just gym battles
You were so right about the mt pyre peak theme
Sabrina, I agree with your “I cherish you” tier!! pretty pretty cities ✨
I love Mauville City in Gen 6, I think it's supposed to ve an Arcology. My two favourite Cities are Slateport City and Mossdeep City.
Littleroot Town’s rank makes sense but it’s theme is my favorite hometown theme
It has such a good theme. I totally agree 😊
S tier
loving the Hoenn era. Can't wait for the repair video!

Dewford Town getting skipped over so many times was so fuckin funny I thought it was a bit like how easy it is to skip over it in game 😂
Dewford town was so awesome. Great music, and a free boat ride with Peeko! Finding Steven and going to slateport made kid-me feel like I had so much freedom
🌊🛥️
I appreciate you advocating for Dewford Town 😊 I think it deserves to have more going on within the town, but it's still not a bad little place.
@@saffroncitytv I see now based on your criteria dewford might not be so great 😅 slateport definitely takes the cake lol
19:40 if I remember correctly there was supposed to be content related to it that got scrapped.
ur videos scratch a very partiular part of my squirrel brain
People in Sootopolis City: "I'm so glad I live here, it's so beautiful and quiet and isolated from the- ...aaand two mythological creatures fight over the destiny of the planet right next to us. Fantastic."
🤣🤣🤣 Ain't that the truth.
“The Webcam sucketh” 🤣🤣🤣

The music of Hoenn is so freaking good. 🤘
I love verdinturf (even if I ain't spelling it right) as a kid I'd just stand in the middle of town and listen to the music.
This list is perfect and I agree with all of them.
My favorite is meteor town
Can’t wait for the repair video keep up the amazing work ❤
Such a great video!! Whenever i think of Hoenn cities and towns i always think of the easter cities like Sootopolis Mossdeep and even Lilycove. I would say those three are always going to be near the top for me. Town themes are what give cities their vibe and when the theme is good then the town is good! I honestly think that Dewford and Oldale town are the only ones that suck. Contrary to your ranking i think Ever Grande City is good but that's mainly because of the theme lol
Anyway can't wait for the region repair video! Keep up the good work!
Well I'm glad you checked out the video 😊 I hope you enjoy the Region Repair!
In real life, Sootopolis(Yakushima), Mossdeep(Tanegashima), and Lilycove(Kanoya) are all southern not Eastern. Hoenn's map is rotated
I went to Oldale Town IRL. It is called Saga City and most Japanese people will tell you that Saga city has nothing going for it.
I went there and went to a Mall and to Kura Sushi. But I mostly used it as a base to visit many sites like Yoshinogari Park and Yutoku Inari Shrine.
I went to Petalburg City as well, and it is beautiful called Karatsu and it is quite nice.
Ever Grande lacks accessibility needing a well upgrade to your Pokemon to access, but probably not just the HM nowadays at least
Best Pokémon reviewer ever
Naughty kids got coal from Santa on Xmas. Sabrina got a “white rock” from Delibird!
Love your setup especially the merch!
Why thank ya kindly! 🤘
I feel like I have a strong memory with mauville during the days when I have to hatch an egg. I also was slightly roadblocked by watson so i have to spend a lot of time there 😅
That's a good point! Hatching eggs was easy since we could just bike through Route 117 and Mauville. Good point!
I think Oldale Town could've served a purpose, Swarms. Pokemon like Surskit are only found in Swarms in Emerald and to me this would've been cool to bring swarms back, tied to an NPC.

I think this is a really great idea!! I'd love to incorporate this into the Region Repair!
They should have had a hot air balloon ride in Oldale Town, or maybe Mudkip eating

I think living in Pacifidlog would suck and it would be dangerous because of the sea storms, the town wouldn't survive a week, maybe not even a day.
Oof, good point. The storms would just ruin your whole life in like, a matter of hours.
I'm frankly surprised it isn't in the Bullhonky tier on those grounds.
HOW DARE you DEFAME and BESMIRCH the good name of oldale! How could you forget such memorable features and interesting people like...
Like, uhh... That one scientist dude who's really into pokemon feet?
He's literally the best thing in Oldale 🤣🤣
People dump on Saga city in Japan where Oldale is based off of all the time so it isn't a surprise
SLATEPORT SUPREMACY!!! I themed my animal crossing island after this city, that market and music!! 💛
Omg! That's such a cute idea!!
I had to watch the video in bursts since i was working but it was totally worth it
As much as I like the vibe of dewford, I'm sad to agree with the bullhonky rating. Probably 2/3 of my hoenn playthroughs I got there then immediately had to double back to petalburg to get pokeballs, which is extremely annoying.

Yeah, that would be a nifty idea for Dewford. I don't mind the small island feel, but it definitely needs SOMETHING more going on.
Take a shot every time she says “bullhonky” 😅😂
Said with love, please don’t stop saying bullhonky. ❤
I somehow missed this video. If I had the disagree with anything in this video, it would be your thoughts on gen 6 Maulville. I thought what gen 6 did with it were over all pretty neat. I did miss gambling, but beating up chumps before my food was ready was a nice consolation. Cheers!
Are you gonna make another video with the gen 6 variation? like you did for Johto ?
I probably should've just included both gens in this one, but for some reason, I guess I just didn't think about it. Maybe I'll do a livestream of that one. 😊

Yeah, I kinda feel bad for Dewford. 😅 But you're totally right! I forgot that the rumors were based on the flights that the space shuttle took. 😄
@@saffroncitytv Excited to see how you'd improve Dewford and all the other towns and cities in that Hoenn repair video!
Farmland is usually on the outskirts of a farm town
Fallarbor is probably my favorite though because I like the aesthetic and the nearby Fossil Maniac
also the nails look lovley!
Thank you!! I did them myself 😊
Saffron City TV HYYYYYPE!
Fortree City is my favorite city in any Pokemon game... or at least it would be if Sootopolis didn't exist
I totally agree 🤣
Pretty sure I know now why Korn recorded the song 'Oldale (leave me alone)'
Right?? 🤣
I LOVE SAFFRON CITYYY
My boy Oldale is bullhonky? Yeah, look, true. It's a tiny lil dude and we love him for it
I know. I visited Saga city for the same reason. It is tiny but it is the least polluted with tourists of all of Kyushu's Capital cities
You have such a kindergarten teacher energy to you
The top tier should be "I choose you"
So Evergrand 'City' is above 2 actual towns xd. Considering the E4 had it's own flight point Evergrand is just bad. There is nothing.
17:14 me when I go to IKEA
Also, the categories were both witty AND sm0rt
Haha thank ya thank ya!
What I would give to quit my job and retire in Lavaridge.😭
You can. Aso villiage is a place IRL.
Everyone stop Sabrina dropped her ranking of hoenn!!
😎🤘🤘🤘🤘
I cannot stand Old Dale Town. It's just a fence.
Once heard someone call Dewford the armpit of Hoenn and they were so right for that.
🤣🤣🤣
