Sorry about that, I got sidetracked on my days off. Will get you a reply tonight

I think the Spain/Italy rumor will be true. So I at least hope that we will be able to revisit Kalos post-game.

Necrozma wasn't actually part of the trio. Suicune's origins are more closely tied to the other two than Necrozma is to Lunala and Solgaleo.

Half of Chobu is used to Johto already so I can see them using the area between real life Kanto and Hokkaido too alongside the other half of Chobu. Or perhaps it could use the remaining half of Chobu and the remaining southern parts of Honshu island (meaning filling the gap between Hoenn and the other original regions). Or even just the rest of Honshu plus the remaining parts of Shikoku xD. It'll give us a region bigger than the original four.

Wonder what the theme would be for them... the non-warring legendaries thus far have been Gold-Silver and Sun-Moon which are actually symbolically connected Gold=Sun, Silver=Moon

If we see a return to Japan, I hope that it includes the parts that have yet to be used too.

Or perhaps a region based on the Korean peninsula or eastern China would work nicely since they're Japan's neighbors. Kyushu (Hoenn) isn't all that far from the southern-eastern coast of Korea, so we could see a return of Hoenn (I wish) post game by ferry.

If Japan, I want to see us going up of Johto and Kanto's maps (which in real life this hypothetical region would be based on western Honshu). We could see the Sinjoh ruins returning to hint at a Sinnoh remake as well as continuity with HgSs.

Likely not until the Sinnoh remakes (which in part will have it as a reference to the seasonal change between DP and P)

That's true.

And if the Region is Spain or Italy then we likely won't see Seasons again.

That's true...

And not to mention all the fact that Gen V and VI have only one Mega each while VII has none (and if the rumors are true, that will apply to VIII too... unless if a Sinnoh remake fixes that (but them bringing back a feature for the remakes (which aren't related to the originals) would be kind of odd... sure HgSs brought back Pokemon following, but that feature was teased in Amity Park in DPP...))

for sure, haha

Yeah, between my real job, my forum job, and real life stuff it's been a pretty busy few weeks lol! I think things are starting to calm down now, though. *knock on wood*

Wonder if they'll add a new mechanic in the 8th Gen again.

Hey, sorry, yeah I've been busy af lately. And while I actually had the last few days off, I wasn't really on the forums much because I had irl stuff I needed to catch up on while I had the chance. Will try to get you a reply soon.

Interesting.

Yeah, Gen 7 does feel like a filler to some degree. The anime more so.

Perhaps we could see Rainbow Rocket reappear. Rainbow Giovanni seemed like he wasn't done yet...

Until USUM... but those introduced ones were extra dimensional beings... with the exception of the new mythical.

True. Some think it'll be a rewrite of the Pokemon 2000 movie.

I am too. I want to know what the region will be. Rumors say Spain or Italy... wonder if my theory of returning to Kalos might come true... but it'll need to be by boat (more likely if it's Spain than Italy) as Kalos is only northern France.

I mean the upcoming movie seems to be a continuation of it.

Been busy again. Work and moderatory stuff. How've you been?

Merry Christmas! Hope its great x

Also, not sure if I'll get a chance to reply today or if it will be tomorrow, but should be one or the other.

xD

Speaking of movies, what do you think of the direction the Pokemon movies seem to be taking this generation?
