    Wait they are the same building now? Hospital and sports store all on one?

    …then again I guess PetSmart does have a vet in the same building these days. Well fuck I’m grandma

      True, but that’s Banfield Pet Hospital. At least they don’t call it PetHealth!

        Gen 5? Yeah I don’t think I ever got that far. I would have been 21/22 when it came to North America in 2011. So I’d have to assume I was drunk until about 2017, and I haven’t bought any pokemon games in my 30s lol.

        Edit: That said Wobbly Life has been my favorite game I’ve played this year unless you count Red Dead 2, because I managed to never play it till September of this year. My spouse tells me I have to play red dead 1 now, but I imagine I have other games I probably should catch up on first.

      human hospitals also have stores in them like gift shops, but also my local hospital has a pharmacy and a food court with franchises including subway, ginos pizza, freshii. i can’t speak for US hospitals as i am Canadian where we have better healthcare than the US.

        I like how Coromon handles it, where its version of PokeCenters have a vending machine in them for a small variety of basic supplies

    From a game dev perspective, I can see why they did it, but from a storytelling/worldbuilding perspective, it feels as barren as the amount of NPCs in eah of the areas in Sca/Vio.
