RBY and GSC were limited by their tilesets making all but a few areas visually similar, RSE had incredibly distinct locations and even basic routes almost all had something to make them stand out. Different rock colors, different grass types, sand, ash, weather. Cities had big architectural or layout quirks, Sootopolis is the obvious standout but Rustboro, Slateport, Pacifidlog are all super memorable. And then all of it was bundled together into the ever-popular theme of "tropical island vacation" to keep the region from feeling disjointed.
There's just a lot of material to work with and it all feels natural to expand on.

Hoenn would entirely make sense as a reasonable geographic area if the desert was west of Mt Chimney rather than east. Humid air blows in from the east, hits the volcano and is forced to rise, dropping that water to form the rainy, overgrown areas in the middle of the island and an arid region on the other side. Even beyond that the only particularly outlandish feature is Sootopolis being in a big crater or caldera of some kind.
