How did it change for the better? The whole fucking theme of the game is about technology and its consequences, even having many pokemon like grimer, koffing, voltorb, magnemite, porygon, omanyte, kabuto, aerodactyl, MEWTWO to reflect this. Satoshi Tajiri is on record saying he devised pokemon out of his love for bug catching knowing the new generation of kids wont have a chance to experience it due to cities replacing forests. Kanto is literally based on the highly developed real life version of kanto in japan, with saffron in particular standing in for central tokyo, and yet they removed its roads, decreased the amount of buildings and cranked up the trees.

Another example: pewter city, it has a rock type gym leader, the fossil museum, it's near mt. moon and and corresponds to the typically mountainous gunma perfecture in japan. Pic related is how they depicted it in the original vs the remake. Which one would you say is more appropriately themed?
