The 2nd and 3rd Deserts have that cave jump. Both were really good shortcuts (especially 2nd, the first place out of camp was a sandy expanse). What I hate about the 1st and 2nd deserts was the ambiguity of the borders of the area coughcantcoughcarvecough. I didn't quite get the small caves from 1st gen (the ones with Apceros, a few mining spots, and dung). I mean really, all 3 deserts have their share of useless/pointless areas.

My worst memory of a desert is with the 2nd Gen, with Plesioth. I didn't know you can climb the cliff at the underground lake. I took the long route every time.

Favorite monster here would be Gendrome. Green and orange really complemented the scenery. Second would be the Fire Dragons (the swamp and the volcano had annoying terrain obstacles. The tower had only one battle with Luna)
