Do you think there will be travel between regions?
The start of the trailer showed a whole world, bringing some speculation into maybe they added some extra places?
Give your thoughts here! |
No I don't think that it should happen unless they have the game continuing in any other region like G/S/C/HG/SS.
|
There could be two, but I can't see them returning to an older region i.e Kanto.
|
I sincerely doubt it. (Castiel reference right there)
Honestly, the game's graphics look way too advanced and complicated for them to go through the trouble of mapping a whole second region, especially for a release this early. I can't be sure, but like I said, I sincerely doubt it. |
Unless they were already in production of the game now, I don't think we'll be able to go back to the other regions. Maybe this will take place somewhere around Unova? And base it on another city from USA?
|
I doubt it.
Firstly, if there was going to be two regions in a Pokémon game, I am willing to bet the money I'm saving for a 3DS that they wouldn't make two entirely new regions for the sake of it. There'd be no point. The whole "returning to past regions" was a trait that I loved in GSC/HGSS, but it's something that will remain exclusive to GSC/HGSS, I think it's safe to say at this stage. Normally saying something like that would depress me, but because B2W2 had the World Tournament, I'm feeling a lot better about a whole new adventure. With that said, someone brought up the fact that BW was a reboot, we could consider this as the "GSC" to BW. I think that's out the window because of B2W2 though. |
Well, if you could, this would be the longest Pokemon game in existence! XD |
The games ARE called X and Y which are coordinates, so it may be something to do the world. Or it's just references the fact that the game is set in France and the X/Y thin was invented by a French guy.
|
They probably won't If they do I would like to see them go to hoenn of Sinnoh since they already did kanto and johto.
|
Since this is based on Europe which has a lot of very small countries I think multiple regions is a possibility but that seems like a stretch. I doubt that other regions will be revisited just yet (but I'm guessing we'll have gen 6 R/S/E remakes) .
I think the two are unrelated. |
No I do not think there will be multiple regions in these games. Ass far as the whole world being shown, I believe that's more related to the whole global release and announce of the games. They only gen that has supported the traveling between regions is gen II but that's because it shared so much with gen I.
Look at B/W2 for example. We are able to go to the old part of unova like its a different region in a way. Same with gen IV. We unlocked the battle area to the north. All of these act like "another region" for us to explore. You had to explore all of johto in gen II and they just gave us kanto to explore as an extra area. |
I highly doubt there will be travelling between regions but there might be a small region like the Sevii Isles in FR/LG.
|
I'll echo what glitchguy said.
Maybe another region based on the British Isles for the postgame. Maybe they could have the battle tower/frontier representing the 02 arena and Big Ben? |
I think it would be cool to see Hoenn. but there is zero chance of that happening
|
I doubt that there would be an extra region. It would be awesome but I can't see it happening. The only reason Gen II had both Johto and Kanto was because it was a direct sequal taking place in a differnt region.
|
Pokemon X and Y
Does anyone else want to see returns of old regions? Like in Gen 2 when you traveled back to Kanto and fought the gym leaders there?
Which region(s) would you most like to see return in the new series and why? It would be way off according to series, but I wouldn't mind seeing Hoenn return. Would be fun to travel back to Hoenn again! |
Merged into the existing thread. |
While I don't think we'll be seeing other regions, one or two secret areas that aren't on the map would seem to be in keeping with how the games have been made recently. Most likely some characters from older games will make cameo appearances, too. That's all I'd expect really.
|
Not sure if you mean between past regions or between different new regions (still unknown). If the first one, I barely see it. It won't happen.
Between new regions, it might be a good idea but it isn't convincing at all. You know, new region = new Pokémon. Anyway, neither the one nor the second are going to happen, so... bah xD |
I'd like to see a past generation, but who knows, maybe we'll get somemthing small like Sevii Islands, or something related.
|
While it's a cool feature, I've never liked the whole dual region concept. I always get too bored of the game to pursue another region... namely in GSC/HGSS my save files don't typically make it to Kanto or if they do, I only end up getting one or two more badges before getting completely bored. |
I miss the old regions and would love to see them again. Not sure how'd they'd do it though. It's probably not in this game, but maybe someday... WAY into the future. They'll have a game where they put new pokemon mixed with old pokemon in old regions... Would be odd to see, but cool to play.
|
Though traveling to other regions other than from Johto to Kanto is something I've been wanting to see for a long time, I doubt they'd do it this time around. Heck, maybe they could save such up for Pokemon's 20th anniversary or so. Or, if they get that far, their 50th anniversary. Man, would that be something :B
|
That'd be seriously cool~
If we can visit places like Hoenn again, that'd be awesome. Or maybe you can visit small islands that are 'technically' in different regions? Well, they haven't done this in a long while, but, it'd be nice to have that blast of nostalgia. |
I honestly doubt it.. but if you could, that'd be amazing <3 I think my fav region is from gen 2 :333 Would be so awesome if you could! Or whheeee Orange Islands!!
|
I don't see why they would do it again tbh. Why would they when they could have two separate games and make twice as much? If they did, I hope it'd be a brand new region though. I want to start Hoenn from the beginning, not at lv55.
|
I doubt it really. Until we know more about the region, like size, location, and such, I don't think it's likely that we can. And even then, I don't see it being possible since I doubt the region is gonna be close to any other ones.
|
The only way I could see us being able to visit multiple regions in this game is if there are multiple smaller regions that combine to make one large one (sort of like states/provinces to a country). I highly doubt will be able to visit any past regions in this game, but who knows what the future holds.
|
I HIGHLY doubt that this will ever happen, but its been a thought of mine for awhile.
I think it would be cool for Nintendo to make one game (say for an anniversary special) or something of the sort, where every region is combined. You start off in Kanto, move to Johto, then to hoenn, and so on and so forth. Once you make your move to Johto, you must place all of your gen 1 pokemon into the pc and start fresh with a new starter and everything, and then later down the line are able to pull the gen 1 pokemon out of the pc during your johto journey. The same goes when moving to Hoenn or any other region. Also, it might be something to think about... the elite 4... we face the elite four everytime, but in the anime they actually have a tournament, would be nice to have a tournament setting for once instead of going right for the elite four and then depending on how well you do in the tournament, you advance to battle the elite four. Thoughts on any of this? |
It needs to happen; if not in this new game then a different one. I feel as though they could also revisit Orre for the sake of nostalgia. Cipher and Galactic/Plasma/Rocket working together would be cool!
|
It probably might not happen in Pokémon X and Y, but who knows? I would love to see two new regions, not just one... but two! ^^
It would be so epic traveling to a new region after you've defeated the Champion at the Pokémon League (that is if that was the ending). |
I don't think it'll happen since they'd just be continuing plane travel, in a sense but if they do, that'll be amazin! xD At least a small area, like a few towns or something xD
|
I think that this would be great! I would like for them to make the connection to one of the old regions. Oh oh, how about they skip the possible remaking of the Hoenn games and just join up the new generation's region to Hoenn?? It's a thought! xDD But yeah, whatever happens, I'm cool with it~
|
ofc there will be no travel between regions.
Those will probably come in later games. |

I've wanted to go to a past region again since G/S/C, it's always nice seeing all the changes that time did to it and having the nostalgia laser blast my face. xD
Since it seems that this region will be far from the others (maybe not), how about travel by plane? It doesn't have to be full on entire regions, maybe little snippets of one or two that you might have to visit during the story, or a little teaser treat post-game. (I'm so desperate for visiting past regions that I'll settle for this) |
Unova and X/Y region like Kanto and Johto
Looking at the Unova region, I noticed that the whole north and east did not have a coast. So could the X/Y region be connected to the Unova like Johto is to Kanto? It would be really cool if we could visit the Unova region and challenge the gym leaders. We dont really have a use for the Mistralton Airport other than the sanctuary despite havig so many planes. So could this be possible?
|
I doubt it will happen but i do have to admit Black and White and Black 2 and White 2 have set them selves up for a multiregion game like they make a massive deal about having an airport, which really does nothing in the first game, its role is expanded in the 2nd game but really it does nothing. But yeah i do think it is possible and i do think there is a chance of it, but in saying that i still doubt it will happen.
|
How cool would it be?!
How cool would it be if, during the production of Pokemon X and Y, they implemented the Hoenn region into the game? They can make it so that Hoenn was a secret island in the X and Y region and you are now able to access it all over again in 3D, similar to Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver, except it wasn't in 3D.
|
That'd be very cool! (:
I dont personally think they'd do that but it would be nice (: |
a 3D game is a lot of work. Your better off wishing that RSE gets the XY treatment. The art style looks so good for Pokemon. I'm excited for the future of the games.
|
It'll never happen. Hoenn is in Japan somewhere (at least the area it's based off of). X and Y are based off of France.
Also, Hoenn is not like the Sevii Islands added to FR/LG. It's a HUGE area. It would not become a secret area of the game. If anything, it would be accessed after the initial E4 run, and make it a 16 Gym game. For such a thing, they'd likely use Unova even though it meets the same reason I say Hoenn won't happen (Unova is based on New York, again across an ocean) - meaning I think neither will happen.

I hope the idea of attaching Hoenn to these games doesn't happen though. Like many RSE fans, myself included, I would much prefer a remake for Ruby and Sapphire or even Emerald so it can reach its full potential. Slapping it onto X and Y would leave much to be desired in my opinion. Same goes for any other region. I would rather they do something like the Sevii Islands, but much more interesting. |
Nah, unless they decide to have Airplane travel then a trip from Europe to Japan is off the table. I'd much prefer Hoenn to be tied in with Ruby & Sapphire Remakes so you can explore it in full whilst going along with the storyline of RSE that way you can experience Hoenn in a 3D feel with the nostalgia. Adding Hoenn to X & Y would be nowhere near as good as full blown remakes IMO. We could get a completely new region added on to the current region of X & Y but as far as returning to an older region goes, I don't see it happening.
|
There's only one way I can see there being travel to other regions and that's if they add new regions as DLC.
No way there will be more than one region at launch. |
Quote:
|
Oh my God. If they make it so you cant travel to Hoenn it will be sooo awesome. I loved that feature about HG/SS, so if they bring it back I will be overjoyed.

Release each new region for exploration every three months mebbe. And develop Gen. VII right away. Cyclone |
The only thing I don't like about dlc regions is the possibility that they wouldn't have any storyline or story npcs (rival, evil team) to go with it and that they would just be thrown together hastily.
Hopefully they would have a new main storyline to go through if they did have dlc regions though. |
Quote:
|
I would really like a past region to appear. Why? Think about it for a second. The games are running on a new engine, and are based in a world where the game has everything properly big or small. To give us a feel of what this new look for the games translates to in terms of other regions, they would give us something like Kanto as an example. Or better yet Unova, to hopefully tie this region up with it.
|
Regions as DLC could work. I remain doubtful though.
Recreating an entire region that was primarily mapped in 2D in the 3D format will be much harder than porting maps from RBY to GSC. Creating 2D and 3D maps requires a different approach, for instance, when all buildings face south, it looks OK in a 2D game, but in a 3D game it looks awkward (imagine walking through Saffron City in 3D: on every street, you have doors on the right and nothing but walls on the left... that's not good) . They'll have to at least remap all the cities and create region-specific textures. And then remix all the music (if it's just to get rid of the excessively used trumpets from Gen 3 or the poorly synthesized guitars from Gen 4) . And then, of course, write a decent extension to the game's script so that the region isn't as bland as Kanto in GSC... looks like too much hassle, really. |

Having said that, I would be more interested in putting my money forward for a game which added a full region experience to an existing game rather than a new separate title. Firstly it means only having one cartridge but secondly I just think it's more interesting to add to an existing world then create a completely separate world. I mean what's really the point of having your Pokemon XY region over here and your Hoenn remake over here and not be able to just move between both of them? I figure it probably won't be until the 7th or 8th gen until they get brave enough to start having dlc regions though. |
There could be a connection between the new region and Unova if they introduce the Original Dragon.
|
It's just clear they are planning an ruby/sapphire remake afther this with maybe acces back to kanto/johto. They nowtest that there remake games where mostly more popular than there new regions. You probaly would agrea that FR/LG and HG/SS where one of the best games out there. They also attempt this with black and white but that seem to fail an bit in my opinion.

Seriously, am I the only one who doesn't want any more remakes? As much as I would love to revisit older regions, I'd rather do it in a B2/W2-esque sequel.
One more thing about DLC regions and why I don't think they're happening: I just remembered a picture I've seen on Pokémemes destroying the idea for a Pokémon game with all regions. I don't exactly remember if it was its only point or just one of the many, but here it is: in GSC, you have Kanto, where the Gym leaders are stronger than the Pokémon league. Imagine if you had a third and a fourth region after this, each region having even stronger opponents? I'm not sure the games have a level cap high enough to accommodate all this while keeping it consistently challenging. Quote:
|
Although I'd like for them to create every past region in 3D format (which will be YEARS from now), I'd love for them to at least implement Hoenn into the new region. I also like the idea about regions being released as DLC, something that has never been done before and I can see it working.

So until you've defeated the elite four for a region you would be forced to leave your old pokemon behind (think customs stopping you at the gate) and would only be able to access them while you're in the old region. (or battling/trading over wifi) Then when you have defeated the elite four of the new region you can use any of your pokemon in the post-story (end game) section of that region. So each region would have the same levelling curve (lv 5 to lv 70 approx) during the story but as Elendil said the battle A.I could be improved with each region. (among other possibilities to increase difficulty) It has the benefit of creating a fresh start but keeping everything together in one package. |

I honestly doubt there will be travel between regions. Pokemon is a company after all, and remakes as well as new games would bring in more sales than just one set of games. I could potentially see you briefly visiting a region, but only very very briefly. Would be pretty cool though! Actually, what I could realistically see them doing is having a cut scene where you're flying OVER another region, so you get an aerial view of it, but you never touch down on it. Or maybe there would be a scene like in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum(?) where the legendary goes crazy and you see a view of the entire region - except this time it'd be all the regions.

I think it is much better than being able to have access to your other Pokémon, I don't want it to be like G/S/C again where the E4's Pokémon are in the 40s. |
I highly doubt that there will be travel between regions in X and Y. However I was thinking in the possibility of making remakes for R/S/E and FR/LG, making all regions playable in a 3DS. I see this a little far fetched, but still plausible. What do you guys think?
|
PLEASE!!!! Pokemon for me has been becoming to easy/short for me. A nice, long post story would be nice. Possibly team Rocket And Plasma merge?
|
Someday I hope a compilation of the first few games occurs (as in the Mega Man series, or the Kirby 20th anniversary collection). In this instance, I hope it becomes one continuous game with multiple PCs, and you are able to actually and quite literally "catch 'em all". It would be even more fun to be able to do it without relying on outside help from trading with friends, and to even have special Event Pokémon found within the games (special storyline events exclusive to the games, such as Jirachi coming along in Hoenn and Mew's island becoming available in Yellow - which would be an ideal start - and normal starters occurring in the wild after the final E4 is defeated), but at the same time the game could be a standalone; you can't trade outside of that game.
But yeah, it'll never happen. Cyclone |

In all honesty, no. I do think the British Isles would be pretty cool to have though.

The Team Magma/Aqua villains have always been my favourite. I want to see more clashes like this. On another note I would like to see something like an admin turning to good (kinda like Silver except they're meaner and cruel) or some character who keeps switching loyalties. Morally mysterious characters are always my favourite. (I don't think N really counts because he was never cruel, just misguided.) |
i hope you can visit the hoenn!

Quote:

Oh god, that would be amazing! You should definitely be able to go back to other regions after you've been there. For example, if you're in Unova and you want to go to Hoenn, there should be a ship, or a plane, or a train to bring you to all regions. Like a different ship/plane/train for each region.

While to fans it would be a big selling point, GameFreak is the one who will be losing out the most. |
Well, I guess my concern is that travelling to other regions miiiight take emphasis away from this whole new region. Fans can be like, "ohhhh cool a new region!" but then they realize they can explore Hoenn and be like "OMG WE CAN GO TO HOENN! I HOPE TEAM MAGMA AND AQUA ARE ARE HERE" for instance.

Quote:
Heart Gold and Soul Silver didn't take that much emphasis away from Sinnoh. (same goes for Kanto and Hoenn) |
There might be a small region simular to how Monico sits around the real France

I've always been thinking about a game in which you can visit all 5 (6) regions. Short summary: Team Rocket should be the villainous team, because Giovanni got more potentional during his battles in the PWT. Every region has his own Admin. You start as a trainer in Aspertia City and chosse your starter in Nuvema. After defeating Rocket in Unova, you have to travel to Kanto by plane. From there walk to Johto, from Johto to Sinnoh by boat and from Sinnoh to Hoenn by boat ass wel. You have to defeat Rocket Admins in eevery region and the grande finale should be on Mt. silver where you battle Giovanni. The level curve isn't a problem if you just hand over your Pokemon to the regions proffesor.
|
Why not raise the level cap and leveling curve to be able to handle multiple regions ?
|
Imagine if they did a poll to see which region we could travel too in X & Y out of all of the current ones to date, I know they wouldn't but that would be awesome.
|
I have no idea if there will be travel between regions, but I sure hope not. I want GF to invest every bit of resources - time and budget - into making a region that's the best it can possibly be, with a story that's the best it can possibly be and a pokedex that's the best it can possibly be. I don't want them diverting resources from that for some piddly additional region that they'd almost certainly only do a half-assed job of anyway (like they did with Kanto in GSC/HGSS).
|
I doubt it if one region is in 3d so would the others be.
If they're making more regions we'd at have to wait a year. |
Quote:
|
Guys, 3D models already take up MUCH MUCH MUCH space, and adding another region would make the game so big and the game will lag so, in my opinion we can't travel to other regions and as usual it will just be another outbreak of pokemon... -_-
|
Quote:
|
In that case Johto or Unova would be the best candidates as Sinnoh,Hoenn, and Kanto are fairly large. I think if anything it'll be Unova to Parallel generation 2's trip to Kanto. Maybe if the add the original Dragon they could have it's event there. Yet again if they had Unova in 3D one would ask why they didn't make B2W2 3D, unless they didn't have enough time.
|
I wouldn't be surprised if Unova appeared actually! Because really, like you mentioned the parallel point, it's true, it's meant to be like Johto, and Unova seemed to grab a lot of GF's attention so it might be likely.~
|
The only problem with going back to Unova is that every Unova pokemon would have to return (apart from maybe some legendaries) or it would be strange. How do you explain half (or more) of Unova's pokemon being replaced by Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh pokemon?
It's not the same as Pokemon Gold/Silver where there was only the pokemon from two regions to consider. My ideal situation would be that they would sell additional regions as dlc on the eShop for about €10-15. I would only be willing to pay if it included a full experience though. That means new main storyline and post game, evil team, rival, gyms, elite four, additional features and aspects that make each region what it is (if I buy a Sinnoh expansion pack I want to be able to make poffins, if I buy the Hoenn expansion I want to be able to enter all the contests or set up a secret base in a tree, if I buy the Johto expansion I want to be able to enter my pokemon in the Pokeathlon etc) I wouldn't expect to get a full region for free. I don't think it would be worth their time. My expectation is that they won't attempt something like this for the 6th gen, but it would be amazing if they did go down an expansion like route. |
I can't imagine All the regions, everything in those regions and all that data in one tiny chip, I just can't not in our time.
