So, we have Japan, New York and France, where next?
 
I was wondering this for a few days, since we've had Japan, New York and now France, where is Gen 7 gonna be set? (Gen 6 if we're lucky)...
Maybe Australia or the UK? I can't wait to meet a Trainer named Niall.

Mithel_Celestia November 1st, 2013 3:44 AM

Honestly hoping the Africas. We need the origins of humans in the Pokemon universe and where better to tell it than a region based on the one continent where past humans migrated from.

bobandbill November 1st, 2013 4:06 AM

On a side note, the region of Orre (from Pokemon Colosseum/XD) is said to be based off Arizona too.

I would like to see what they do with Australia, haha. We've got a bunch of weird animals they can use too. They'd just have to put less focus on desert areas than what we actually have, haha.

Marionz November 1st, 2013 5:41 AM

yeah i would like to see an africa setting or some remote regions :p

(e.g. Philippines) xD

Rainflower November 1st, 2013 5:54 AM

I want to see a region based on overall Asia, actually. That'd be huge.

Or it could just be East Asian countries, excluding Japan, haha. Would like to see an Australia based region tho. Sounds interesting.

Kikaito plush November 1st, 2013 5:58 AM

I would like to see an New Zealand based region

Blastin'Tyruntz November 1st, 2013 6:02 AM

Middle east, most notably Dubai or Saudi Arabia.I would love to see some more caves and deserts than the usual "routes" we have. If you go to NYC, Japan or France and you find patches of grass with like bunnies popping out of them, lemme know.... :/
Instead, it'll be more realistic of they take a desert region like Aljiria or any middle-eastern country for that mattewr, and spead caves and tunnels. And in the middle east, there are a lot of developed places. The tallest building in the world is in Abu-Dabi,im sure they'll manage to do something with that.

TreeKangaroo November 1st, 2013 7:31 PM

omg Pokemon is not meant to be realistic, genius. -_-.


I want an Australia region like others have said and if one of the legendaries isn't based off of a Bunyip I'll scream. And there better be a koala and a more kangaroo looking Pokemon,(fighting maybe?) kangaskhan looks nothing like a kangaroo other than the pouch.

PumpJack November 1st, 2013 8:05 PM

Maybe something similar to Hoenn, based off the former British empire?

You'd have the island itslef, and then such diverse regions as the Egypt, India, Sudan, Australia, parts of the Caribbean, Canada, the 13 Colonies, etc.

But with such a vast world, they'd have to put a much larger focus on the adventuring aspect to keep it interesting- which I really want. The Pokémon world has a constantly growing and rich lore behind it- why limit players to simply eight badges and the league?

There can be so much more to do and explore.


And I don't want to have to chase after spinoff games such as Mystery Dungeon to get the chance.

You could be less offensive. :[
I personally would not buy a game based off of Australia...Too many kangaroo and koala based pokemon i guess.

No Australia's fauna are definitely not limited to those!!
Platypus, the extinct Tasmanian tiger, wombat, shark, coral, weedy sea dragon, leafy sea dragon, tiger quoll, frilled neck dragons, sugar glider, goanna, emu and more. It's obviously more than kangaroos and koala. -_-
I swear I can even create a Pokedex with Native Aussie animals! >:(

«Chuckles» November 2nd, 2013 2:41 AM

Yes australia, all the Pokemon's will be vicious and the legendaries will be a drop bear and a bunyip the 3 starters will be an emu, koala and a kangaroo because that's like the only animal non Aussies no about. The champion of the e4 will be the hilltop hoods and you get shanked within the first 5 minutes of the game. Welcome to Australia.

Hikamaru November 2nd, 2013 3:17 AM

I do agree with Chuckles, Marcin and Makoto. Australia is, as Makoto said, a place with some very unique plant and animal species, a lot of which we haven't seen turn into Pokemon yet. It's not just a place full of kangaroos and koalas, and having it made into a Pokemon region would be something I heavily approve of.

See, there's more to Australia than you think. The species there are so unique there are some you won't find anywhere else! Game Freak, do it.

I think drop bears would come in hrde battles and strike first. At the beaches you have the option to go surfing and catch some rare pokemon. Instead of a bicycle you get a mountain bike (motorised) to traverse the terrain. Fossil pokemn would have a larger influence maybe have a wider range of new ones i.e. Tasmanian tiger and stuff. Maybe a dinosaur pokemon or two. I think maybe have some prominent references to Australian history such as the Aboriginals and how unfairly they were treated. Riding pokemon would become even more fun because Australia can become even more barren and who doesn't want to ride a rapidash on the barren waste of desert Australia. I think the dream time stories would influence the game a lot with how pokemon were made possibly a professor who is researching how pokemon came to even exist. Tony Abbott should make a slight cameo yelling "stop the boats" throughout the game never actually doing anything.

I do know a lot of australian animals. :|
But they look weird enough to already be in the game...

yungdialysis November 2nd, 2013 5:28 AM

Except basing it on a real existing country, why not making a fantasy country or the FUTURE. Just imagine all the possibilities. Space, weird mountains or floating islands. What do you think about it?http://webtaj.com/images/free-space-city-the_144027.jpg

Blobfish would be weird yes(stunfisk 2.0) but koalas aren't that weird.

Perriechu November 2nd, 2013 6:19 AM

I hope it's the UK. Mainly because I'd like to explore London in the Pokemon world. :P

I honestly don't know what they'll base the next game on though. :( There doesn't seem to be a pattern, unless they're going for big cities (cough london cough)

Pinkie-Dawn November 2nd, 2013 6:32 AM

Either San Francisco or the U.K. due to their unique landscapes and architectures.

Sydian November 2nd, 2013 6:57 AM

I personally would love to go to Africa.

Olli November 2nd, 2013 7:46 AM

Just gonna agree with everyone who said either somewhere in Australia or Africa, at least those are two that are very likely to happen. It seems as though they're trying to focus more on the environment the games take place in, now that the graphics actually have a relatively important role in comparison to waay back in the day of the originals, so naturally they're gonna try to give the games a setting which is both interesting and would be great to explore, and well, both Africa and Australia allow for that. Though obviously there are loads of other places in the world that this could apply to as well, so maybe they're gonna surprise us :p I definitely don't think it's gonna be the UK though, mainly because it wouldn't be quite as interesting when it comes to the environment, sorry :(

Firox November 2nd, 2013 8:48 AM

Like a few above have mentioned. It would be great to have the 7th gen based in portions of Africa. So much diversity, so much differences in culture and language, and abundance of different animals. Lots of inspiration and ideas for future Pokemon and town names could come from varying places across Africa.

Or to have it based either in Scandinavia or the Balkans in Europe.

Decimosoma November 2nd, 2013 8:59 AM

North Pole or another 100% snowish place! I want to see a snow-only region. That would be awesome. #snowloversunite

Guy November 2nd, 2013 9:01 AM

Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom are my top three; New Zealand being my first choice.

Chrysanthia November 2nd, 2013 11:03 AM

No one mentioned Western Washington State... there's Puget Sound, a strait of water surrounded by lowlands, highlands and mountains, a big lake with an island on it and overall it's probably the greatest mix of land and water I've seen in an area no more than a hundred miles wide ;P

Yes. And we're also quite diverse. Though we are lacking a general shape for the region to me.

Heres my top 3:
1) New Zealand with part of austraila. So we get part of the mainland with Sydney and a island.
2) We could get the UK and it could be connected to Kalos by the channel tunnel.
3) Florida, though swamplands were annoying in sinnoh and kalos (why were they there? :P

Esper November 2nd, 2013 11:40 AM

It'll have to be a place where the developers can go and do some first-hand research. As much as they just throw whatever Pokemon into a region they feel like, they've made an effort to have the places be reminiscent of the real areas they're based on. So Australia wouldn't be picked just because Australia has all those unusual animals. They'd want to pick it because it's got all kinds of landscapes and culture that could find its way into the games.

And that's why I don't think they'll go to places like Africa or the Middle East. Lots of places there aren't too safe or friendly so they won't send people there. Australia seems like it would be a pretty good pick, but so does the UK. The UK though is bound to be a lot like France, or at least more so than New York is, so that doesn't seem like as much of a change as a place like Australia would be.

Wouldn't mind if they picked somewhere in Asia like Taiwan or South Korea, or if they went to South America or the Caribbean.

What do you mean by ««lacking a general shape»»?

I would keep New Zealand and Australia separate... do you have any idea just how large the Tasman Sea really is?

As for the UK and connection with France, that may seem interesting, but I don't know how that would work out in practice..

And I don't know much about Florida...

I agree about the accessibility issue, some parts of the world aren't so well suited to in-depth exploration.. New York City and northern France seem to be more accessible than most and they have plenty of interesting attractions and features that could be incorporated into a Pokémon game, and I don't know many others that are sufficiently accessible and have enough points of interest.

The Pacific Northwest in western Washington, in my opinion has plenty of interesting landscapes that aren't too difficult to access.. between the mountains in the east and west, the lakes and estuary in the middle, the big cities on each side of the biggest lake, a forest area between two big lakes and plenty of other things... for what more could we ask?

I do admit I may be biased in giving a brief overview of one particular region and certainly there may be others that are quite similar to what I described but I have lived in the west side of Washington State for many years and I don't know any other regions well enough.. A close second would be the Auckland area in New Zealand, which from what I've seen looks like it could be done, but I don't know it well enough to really suggest it here..

Kanzler November 2nd, 2013 12:57 PM

Would California be nice? It's got mountain barriers, it's got seas, it's got valleys, it's got desert, it's got rainforest. And it's got super techy cities and super huge cities too :P Maybe a condensed version of the West Coast?

pompayyy November 2nd, 2013 2:11 PM

I'm wanting either England (or just the whole U.K) or Australia. I'm waiting for there to be some Beatles parody in England or just the outback of Australia to explore.

Pave Low November 2nd, 2013 4:30 PM

UK wouldn't really be as interesting as several other countries that haven't been covered. Animals there are common, nothing that would amuse you, climate is average, just a standard sort of area which I don't think would be a good setting for a Pokemon game.

I would like to see Australia, though. Like some others have mentioned, they have all sorts of animals that are unique to the country or are rare around the world. The country is very different to many parts of the world and it would make for an excellent game setting, in my opinion.

I wonder if there is ever going to be a game that is located in Space. Now that would be interesting and different. Maybe, just maybe, they will resort to that.

Boilurn November 2nd, 2013 5:52 PM

Maybe Ireland or Spain, or even connect parts of North Africa to Spain, that would make the layout more interesting.

Hiatus November 2nd, 2013 6:32 PM

I'd love to see them base a region off Ireland (or any other similar countries), personally. It could consist of small towns and villages, instead of big, flashy cities. There would be a lot of caves and tunnels to get through, but their obstacles wouldn't be too hard. The routes would contain a bunch of tall grasses, and there'd a couple of rocks laying around here and there. Most grass, rock, and water-type Pokémon would be native to this region, as well as a few flying, such as Aerodactyl, Pidgeot, and Archeops. In the main villages, perhaps they could have huge-looking statues featuring some of the region's legendary Pokémon. d: Also, some towns could have adobe houses, maybe, like in Mexico, Africa, India, etc. etc. I don't know how many people would enjoy exploring this region, exactly, but me, I definitely would!

Zero Percent November 2nd, 2013 6:45 PM

Why not go back to America and go to the west coast, like California?
Or Canada. Just imagine the a maple syrup pokemon.... it'd be the new Vanillite.

CoffeeDrink November 2nd, 2013 6:46 PM

Space, koff~

The last frontier known to man. These are the voyages of the Poketrek Illumise. Going where no Pikachu has gone before!

Just joking. I think we'll have some more flavors along the way. Perhaps we'll get an Arctic adventure? Or maybe we'll visit some where tropical? I don't know. All I know is that as long as it isn't based on Florida, I'll be happy, koffi~

TrainerNico November 2nd, 2013 7:43 PM

How about the Philippines, lots lots and lots of Tropius Exeggutor and Krookodile lol

And lots and lots of syndicates around here too. They should make another game where you will take on multiple syndicates like in Emerald.

Land of the Million Bidoofs.

PkmnTrainerElio November 3rd, 2013 1:54 AM

The UK, would fit as a secondary region, as people have stated, not much to see there, so it could be a secondary region, and the Elite 4 and Champion could be One Direction, haha, or a parody of them.
If we had Italy, it wouldn't be much different from Kalos, Greece would be nice, it would be full of legends.

Zet November 3rd, 2013 4:17 AM

Australia, so you can ride around on giant spider mounts pokemon.

So True!! That would be a great idea for a Pokemon region as well. It's why I love living in Washington state (I live in south east Seattle). I should have thought of that one. It would be the perfect land for Mienfoo & Buizel, weasels and otters can be found all over the state.

casualCasualty November 3rd, 2013 5:06 PM

I don't know if its just me being a Canadian, but I'd love to see a region based on Canada. Nintendo could go into Aboriginal designs and a delve into a more nature-based society. And all the pretty music they could come up with and scenery and aaaaah it would be great. And especially on the west coast! There are so many different people and aahahaha if they made a city based on Vancouver I would squeal so hard.

Edit:
They could also delve into the topic of society vs. nature, which is really fun to debate about.

And every Pokemon would be poison type. Damn Australia is scary :(

Vyrael November 3rd, 2013 9:31 PM

Hmm... I would say that it seems like these last two generation they went toward the West a bit. Unova was based on New York and Kalos was based on France, which are in the Americas and Europe. If they stay with that, I can see the UK being our next stop.

The UAE is certainly an option if they want to move away from Europe. A city there that's based on Dubai would be a good chance to show off their abilities with graphics.

Honestly, I would like one in Egypt, but it may be a touchy one to go for with all the political things that have happened there recently. South America could be fun too (especially since it would give them a chance to retcon Guyana into a region of a different name.)

Mario The World Champion November 3rd, 2013 9:36 PM

Part of me is screaming out Los Angeles and the surrounding area. The region would shake every so often due to aftershocks of a big earthquake that happens before you start your journey. Or London. It could be foggy a lot of times and Pokémon Soccer is the national sport. You'll battle three trainers who are obsessed with cars and your rival will be a guy in w white suit and white helmet.

pokewalker November 4th, 2013 3:44 AM

I'd love to see a region based off the Netherlands and Belgium together :x And if they were to make a new region in this generation, I think that'd be most logical alongside with the possibility of the South of France turning into a new region. But they'd pick the Netherlands if they'd want to make a game based on innovation, I guess. We've always been known for that :p

EDIT: failed to mention, though GameFreak was in Amsterdam 1,5 year ago for research?

Pilkie November 4th, 2013 6:26 AM

Maybe we can expect something like the Orange Islands in the anime where we get an archipelago or something where we have to hop island to island with each island having its own unique culture and pokémon.

Varion Bluefire November 4th, 2013 8:35 AM

Some kind of island get up.
SO we'd have some nice water routes, and plenty of ocean to explore.

And lots of smaller towns, iconic structures, and a pretty distinct culture. You could have a cold, foggy town based on San Francisco with lots of Spheals around or an area based on San Juan Capistrano with lots of Swellows.

I know I have no trouble envisioning this. The only real trouble is that the West Coast is pretty straight with just a few exceptions and that would make for a boring looking map so you'd have to pick one area like LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, etc.

PumpJack November 4th, 2013 10:35 AM

Actually, what would be kinda cool would be if they were to base the next region off some really remote place, and the first people to guess it correctly get an event Pokémon free.

BraveNewWorld November 4th, 2013 11:07 AM

I think Australia and New Zealand would be pretty cool.

Cut out Northern and Western Australia. Starting town somewhere in Queensland. Progress down to Sydney. In New Zealand have a few cities/towns at the South Island with the 8th Gym in one of the cities. Have the Pokemon League at the North Island of New Zealand. Put some post game content on the island of Tasmania.




The Caribbean would also be cool. A map with Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Andros of the Bahamas.

I would love to see a region based off the West Coast...if they do one, they should make it bigger than Kalos as I do beleive the total area of Washington, Oregon, and Califonia is larger than France...California is big enough on it's own but I would like to see parts of Oregon at least...and for post game they could have a train that leads to Unova! Oh and the routes don't start at 1...

I think though that they'll go for a country either North or south of Japan. So maybe Korea, Russia, or Australia, and Indonesia. Maybe the Phillipines. Either way, a place in Oceania, or Asia is my best bet.

Brendino November 7th, 2013 1:03 AM

I think the easiest place to base a new region off of would be Australia (& New Zealand?), just because it is a lot more diverse than people realize. The only problem with this is that I could see it slightly resembling Hoenn and Sinnoh by being a continental island region with smaller isands surrounding it. Still, I trust Game Freak would make it different in enough ways, and there would be more than enough real-life animals to use as inspiration for new Pokemon.

My other vote will always go to a combined western Canada, Washington and Alaska though, as it really is a lot more diverse than people may think. Mountains, oceans, forests, snow, beaches, urban areas, rural towns, etc. Plus, I'd be interested in seeing a more vertical map compared to the horizontally laid out regions that we're used to- it's getting a little boring in my eyes.

It's not quite the games, but feel free to squeal a little bit.

GreyVirgo November 7th, 2013 1:24 AM

It would be cool if they make one like Philippines so the game will look like it's an awesome Tropical region! :D (It'll be awesome when they add a Pokemon similar to the Tarsier lolz.)

Thief November 7th, 2013 1:46 AM

England just 'cause I live there and it'd be nice to see it implemented in a Pokémon game. C'mon, Big Ben in in centre of the region with a gym leader or other story-progressing event inside? You know you want it. Pokémon is well overdue a massive clock tower.

But other than that, I'd be happy with anywhere as long as we never get an overly-industrialised region. It's all the natural scenery in Pokémon that makes me love the setting so much, regardless of whatever real-life connections it has.

Yoshi119 November 7th, 2013 2:45 AM

Ireland. It's where I live, but there are so many pretty places here that could be put in a Pokémon game. They probably won't though, Ireland is too small :(

Kyrul November 7th, 2013 9:04 AM

I want to see a region like the Caribbean Islands. Each island holding a few towns. They could bring back dive and let you explore shipwrecks.

Or Africa.

ilias_ November 7th, 2013 12:32 PM

I'd like to see a mix of Australia & Africa.

Kalos is based on Europe so, I guess Australia and Africa would be really interesting for the next generation! :)

(I still want an official map of all the regions so far >_>)

Angelroid November 7th, 2013 8:13 PM

If, they base it off of Canada. This would be the parts of Canada they would use:

I hope they base the next region on Australia.
We need a Koala Pokemon! :)

You know what. I love that idea. I loved diving in R/S/E, and I kinda really miss it, and that sounds great. But a game based soley off Islands I think would kinda bleh some people, dont know why, but it needs a mainland, Like move the islands closer to mexico, and use part of it. There we can have a big city, maybe have the alamo there (Like stone hedge is in egland but is in kalos.)

Or Africa.

The Anime had that in the Orange Island. If you recall there were 7 islands in the Remake of Red and blue

Hannah November 8th, 2013 11:18 PM

I'd love to see the game be set in a tropical and exotic place, with lots of beaches and oceans. I live in a tropical country myself so I've seen how beautiful places like the Philippines can be, especially in our provinces. :3

I don't want to sound too biased so my second option would be Australia lmao.

I can see it now. The Professor will be called Professor Maple and he'll be very polite to everyone and so will all of the residents of the region. There's stereotypes for you. Plus we'll finally get a moose Pokemon (Stantler and Sawsbuck are deer so they don't count, though they'd be common too.) and a maple syrup Pokemon. And Lumberjack will become a trainer class along with Curler.

Honestly though, I think Canada would be a great place to base a region off . It could be divided into provinces just like the real country and you could explore them individually throughout the game and some during post game. I also think Australia or parts of Africa would be great too.

27thColt November 21st, 2013 4:09 AM

I've actually wanted something from North America, Europe, or Africa. We really haven't seen much of America or Europe (only one region) so if we se two more from there, it would be nice.

Outlier November 21st, 2013 5:28 AM

Australia. I live here and have never even considered that it would make a good landscape for a Pokemon game until I read through this thread. Also that guy who roasted the idea and said the Hilltop Hoods would be the Elite Four members literally had me laughing out loud for minutes. Good job mate ( :

Beyond Infinity November 21st, 2013 6:28 AM

You're all going too high class.

I want to see Slough, near London. Just watch the Office (UK) and you'll see. Nothing cooler than catching a Rattata in a trading estate.

Or Glasgow. There's only a 30% chance you survive the story without being stabbed. Each egg you hatch has a 20% chance of being stolen.

Greece. Opponents can't afford to give you any money after a battle?

In all seriousness, I would also like to see Australia. Too many animals/landscapes to be missed. (Plus, there could be LOADS of cricket references...)

Gardevoir the Dragon Slayer November 21st, 2013 8:32 AM

Hopefully the UK, that way it would be close to Kalos (Maybe you could go there as well by Ferry and then Channel Tunnel). Aslo the Stone theme could be contined with Stone Henge, A Southhampton or Liverpool based town could be where the SS Anne's Home Port is, The King/Queen/Emperor/Empress of Pokeworld could live in the capital. The Professors lab could be in a Cambridge/Oxford type city. The player could come from a small village in Northern England, Scotland, the West country or Northern Ireland.

Or Germany with a theme of Technology in the cites but more traditional lifestyle in the more rural areas. Also near Kalos.

Or South Korea would be nice.

MiniMinun November 21st, 2013 1:52 PM

CANADA!!!!! Yes! I always thought that Baffin Island would be a cool location, or something that involves the Hudson Bay, or maybe even the Great Lakes (Manitouline Isl., anyone?). :)

Sopheria November 22nd, 2013 7:27 AM

I love this topic! Here's a few ideas I have :)

Britain Honestly I think this one is the most likely. So much culture, but at the same time industrialized. Sounds like the perfect place to base a Pokemon region on. This would give the opportunity to have something that we haven't actually seen yet: medieval and celtic style castles and landscapes. And the best part? You could travel south to Kalos! I've been dying to have a Pokemon game where you can backtrack to a previous region.

Canada It'd be cool to have a colder region be the basis for a Pokemon game again. Plus it'd be really cool to have a city based on Montreal that has a full Underground like that one city in Orre (the name of which currently escapes me).

Florida Swamplands! Really dense swamplands would be great to explore, and a good environment for Pokemon. And it'd be an epic basis for a cool plot. Imagine this: imagine in the sea south of the region, ships that go through it mysteriously disappear (Bermuda triangle). Imagine that in reality, it's actually the work of a Pokemon. Imagine if, after defeating the Elite Four, you can go on a mission to capture that Pokemon. Once captured, ships can safely travel and you can take a boat to a new region: an archipelago (I really liked the Sevii Islands in FR and LG, and I've been hoping something like it would appear in later games).

Aaaand, as others have suggested, you could go into space. Say, on a rocket that commutes back and forth to the moon? (reference to the Kennedy Space Center).

As for Africa and Australia, I think they'd be more suited to side games. I'm not sure why, but they remind me of regions that side games would be based on. Like Pokemon Safari or something. Just my opinion though!

Leo the Lion November 22nd, 2013 10:17 AM

Spain Why? First, I live there. Second, there would be tauros all over the place (?)
Third, Madrid could be called Koffingdrid and be infested with koffings and gastlys when the pollution "beret", as we call it here, It´s basicly a pollution cloud, rises over Madrid.
Australia Why? I just loove platypuses and I realyy wanna see a platypus pokemon

Kakarot1212 November 23rd, 2013 10:35 PM

Phillipines! {:3}
To the fact that we have different exotic animals that can be featured and our landscapes are just amazing!
Such as:
Spoiler:
Banawe rice terreces, boracay, fort ilocandia, and many more! ;)


Animals such as
Spoiler:
Tamarraw, cow,carrabao, tarsier, king cobra, pangolin, and many more! ;)


Thats what i thought! ^^ ^_^

Nick November 23rd, 2013 10:51 PM

I would really like there to be a region based off Greenland. I think it would be really interesting to have an entire region set somewhere with ice all around.

CrowSvenson November 23rd, 2013 11:30 PM

Great Britain and Ireland. Or Germany. Russia COULD work... maybe even Australia.
Yeah, Australia would be awesome.

waveguidebuizel November 24th, 2013 1:05 AM

I was thinking a region based on some place in South America. I am by no means an expert on the continent, but I think it has a variety of things that could make for an interesting region. The wildlife is very diverse, so that could inspire a whole new set of pokémon. Legends can even be based on ancient civilizations, such as the Inca or Maya. The geography might be fun to explore in a game as well, from tropical rain forests, mountainous cliffs, and small archipelagoes to ancient ruins and large modernized cities. I'd especially love to see the Nazca Lines in pokémon form.

kha111 November 26th, 2013 7:03 PM



How about they do Los Angeles or San Francisco? A region based of Los Angeles county would be boss, and the U.S Bank Tower could serve as a battle tower. And the Stapels Center can be like B/W2's PWT with all gym leaders, elite four and champions from all gens. That would be great.

kha111 November 26th, 2013 8:40 PM

New Region Setting
 
Ive been doing some thinking and i think I should specalate the new region stereotyping by Game Freak. We've been to Japan, NYC and France and what region shall be next. Look no other than...Los Angeles. (Sorry i dont have any pics, dont know how yet to post them and have to hav 15 posts or more.

Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in the U.S and probably the most diverse in the country. Home to blockbuster movies, amazing schools, headquarters to famous companies and lots of sun and great beaches and plenty to do.

The reason why the next region/next gen or sequel should take place here is because of the neighborhoods in L.A, travel, hobbies, commerce and lots of forests and some mountainside and a amazing ocean. Gamefreak can really pull it off here and make something amazing instead of something plain and annoying.

Los Angeles and all of southern California is a great place and Gamefreak can stereotype it to the bone. Imagine it: urban cityscape, vast oceans, dark forests and rugged mountainside. This way, Gamefreak can really make creative pokemon and not some retarted ice cream or a lava lamp kind of thing. From urban slums to amazing sprawling cities.....I can see it.

What gamefreak can do is that it can make the freeways and we can travel by car, bus or subway possibily catch a flight to good ol Kalos or Unova or any other region. They can also extend the game length or put in more post game stuff. The U.S bank tower can be a battle tower with great views of the region. The Staples Center can be another PWT, but you can battle all gym leaders, elite four and champions fron all past gens. The observatory in the hills can be a medieval battle facility with never before seen trainers and lots of rewards for succeeding. The Pacific Ocean can be filled with both old and new Pokemon and trainers wanting to get wet in the warm weather. Hard to explain, but a game in L.A would be MIND BLOWIN. Lemme know what ya think.

darkredwing November 26th, 2013 9:20 PM

Being from Southern California it'd be pretty cool to have a region based off of it... You could have two large cities one in the south representing San Diego and one in the north representing LA.
Honestly though I would like to see a game based in Africa, something a bit different from previous generations and have Pokemon that are designed for a far more arid region would be cool.

Terff November 26th, 2013 9:51 PM

Get this genius idea, an entire region... wait for it. Based off of the Sahara desert. All you can catch are Sandiles, Baltoys, Hippopotas and Trapinches. Brilliant AMIRITE?

s0nido November 26th, 2013 11:38 PM

I'd love to see it based on Africa, though they'd probably step on a few toes and piss a few people off for being racist in one way or another. Not that setting a video game in Africa is racist in itself, but they might make some gross misrepresentation of it in some way or something that they include may be taken offensively, similar to the whole shambles surrounding Jynx.

KamikazeSSoH November 27th, 2013 12:52 AM

if you think about it. maybe be brazil or U.K but we never know....

well trapinches evolves into flygon so yes. :P just put a elekid in there and the game is accept >D

You're right on that one, gamefreak has sometimes been in the center of controversy especially racial stereotyping. Even in the anime, they cut a episode because it represented racial stereotyping. But, Africa would be great being im African-American. Africa has some good cities and.. sports. But, my problem is if gamefresk does africa, they might badly and offensively stereotype slavery and us being held as slaves.

I like the concept, but we would get tired of catching those. Trapinch is a hassle due to its ability and you cant flee from wild.

Gamefreak could make a entire universe, with a possibility the old regions can return. They can push 3DS hardware to its limits like Rockstar Games for Grand Theft Auto V. But, all that space would be too large for the 3DS, so they probably could do a RPG on the Wii U. No Pokemon Battle Revolution, that was crap. A Pokemon XD- Colesseum type of approach.

Moltres Rider November 27th, 2013 4:54 AM

there should be more options... maybe changing Los Angeles to USA because that fits better than having Los Angeles as an option. I can't vote because I'd vote USA in general but you had to be TOO SPECIFIC

Los Angeles itself is specific. You go into a room and scream out L.A loud, you might stir up a discussion. I can picture some of the country being in the game, but..it dosent fit the concept. USA isnt that great and i live and born there, Only places i like is NYC, Miami amd LA.

Ill try to change the poll options due to a request.

I dont think i can change the options being i did not start the thread. The mods merged it somehow.

Outlier November 27th, 2013 5:38 AM

A game set in the Caribbean where we could control our own ships like in AC4 would be cool. I pirate themed pokemon game. I'd buy it.

encas November 27th, 2013 6:21 AM

I hope that Gen. 7 is set in a region based off of Africa, especially if they choose one particular country and try not to mix up their countries. Granted, Unova and Kalos both were unique areas, but you could still easily see New York City and France in their respective regions. I really would hate it if they decided to base the geography off of, say, Kenya, while basing its lore on South Africa or something. Given the travel and research Game Freak did for Gen. 6, I don't think I should be too worried.

IMO, anywhere in Sub-Saharan Africa would work pretty well, especially for plot elements. In fact, I almost only said Sub-Saharan Africa. But then, I read a post on the first page that mused how it would be interesting for the plot to focus on how humans originated in the Pokemon world. Many scientists agree that humans specifically originated in Ethiopia, so I think that would be an interesting country. Also, Madagascar comes to mind; it's about as close to a compromise between Africa and Australia as you can get!

Sabrewulf238 November 27th, 2013 9:43 AM

My preference would be Australia....but I'd also be happy with a location based on Africa or India.

I live in Ireland so obviously I'd love a region based on Ireland....I think the UK and Ireland would end up as the one region.

After that a Scandinavian region (Sweden, Norway, Iceland etc) would be really interesting too.

Taemin November 27th, 2013 10:04 AM

Honestly, I'd like to see a region based on Spain? It just seems like.. it should happen. Spain has published Pokemon games nearly from the get-go, I believe, and it just seems like it should get a region. Especially before USA gets another region based off of it (the Los Angeles idea).

Or how about Mexico? Mexico could be another option.

Christopher November 27th, 2013 9:16 PM

I want either Scotland or Canada, both have beautiful countrysides and large cities. Plus I can just see GF making a bagpipe pokemon :D I mean they made a Garbage bag and a Key Ring...so...

Quinn November 27th, 2013 9:40 PM

I would really like to see a Gen take place in a no wear place that's lost in the woods or something, I don't know why just would be nice to see one with a more open plain and no city's. So i vote down under, in the uninhabited part.

Mark Kamill November 27th, 2013 11:04 PM

Greece of course. I mean the games had a lot of influence both from the language and from some myths, and it would be interesting how GF would handle a 100% Greek region. Their representation of France was amazing, what with different architectural styles, dialogue flourishes and stuff, and I genuinely believe Greece can be even better.

If not, somewhere in Polynesia, thanks to the strange souvenir.

PkmnTrainerElio December 5th, 2013 6:12 AM

Australia would work, as we have the Old Melbourne Gaol (Pokemon Gravesite?) and such locations, imagine if Flinders Street Station was remodeled into a Gym.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 5th, 2013 11:23 PM

I would like to see a region based on Africa, any place would work. I wouldn't mine a vast savannah. Also if they bring back seasons they could show water holes and other unique aspects of the savannah. Or if they do the Sahara desert they can give us a large desert region, one that's main game. Or perhaps the tropics...or maybe gives us a little of all three...it'll be like Hoenn...but bigger!

TheRestlessSoul December 6th, 2013 1:02 AM

Australia would be great i reckon, lots of really cool landscapes such as deserts, beaches and forests plus a load of cool animals that new pokemon could be based on :P i would really like to see an Emu or a Koala like pokemon implemented one day :)

A group of Tropical islands would be cool too i think

Sheep December 9th, 2013 7:54 PM

Africa! It's a beautiful land with some rich history and environments that I'd love to see incorporated into Pokemon. Though.. Australia is a very close second.
