User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Barroth (4th Gen)/@comment-5020152-20180908151212

Don't have much to say about Barroth. Still my favorite brute wyvern, still has lovely colors, still has the same cool roar and movements.

But why bring back the 2nd Gen Desert. Just why. It SUCKS. It's so PLAIN. Every area looks EXACTLY THE SAME, literally just sand and rocks across the entire map, with a bit of water sprinkled in here and there. Even the Old Desert (before it became the Dunes) was slightly better. And aside from my own aesthetical tastes, it's a horrible area for Barroth. They shoehorned in a small mud puddle just for him and decided to call it a day, like that's any kind of justification for deciding to throw him into this boring-ass area for no reason. There isn't any vegetation and there certainly aren't any Altaroth for him to eat! Where's the Sandy Plains, whose diverse landscapes and tons of available scrubland was perfect for the Bulldozer? "B-B-But muh nostalguh!" Yeah, okay, now all the Freedom 2/Unite maps are back, that's fantastic. But it doesn't change the fact that the Desert is still garbage. Like I said, it's boring AF, and it makes no sense why any monster would live there when there's little to no plant life present. Bringing back the Desert is one of the only two things GU/XX probably shouldn't have done. (Bringing back Congalala is the other.)
