Additionally, the Dragon's Den does not appear to be present, though the overall idea for a vertically-oriented map seems to have been planned for some time. It's possible that the tower on the rightmost side of the map was related to Clair's eventual challenge before plans were changed, as the Blackthorn Gym is still present, just at the south east of the map instead. Grass occupies the majority of the map layout unlike in the final, where it is relatively sparse compared to the dirt and rocks around the area, which are also missing in this build. Blackthorn's buildings also lack their unique roof designs at this time. | ||
