Why I went
Hoenn needed to start with stronger island character, and Tsushima immediately gave the series a larger, more travel-heavy feeling.
Diary log
There was a constant sense of distance here, which made every street and shoreline shot feel a little more intentional.
Trivia
Dewford works best when it feels distinct from the mainland, and Tsushima's island identity does that work before a word is spoken.
Travel tip
Keep the episode calm.
Build extra time into island shoots because transport defines the whole day.
