More Than One Region!?!
After talking with others on the battle server, some thought that it's possible that Sun and Moon could be leaning to a more than one Region game, possibly even a game with all the Regions in it!. It all stemmed from this quote:
"(all the years) and now in 2016, it all comes together in an all new Pokémon adventure" Are they possibly referring to all of the regions being added into one Pokemon Game? Or are they possibly referring to all 2016 is leading up to a new Pokemon Adventure? Just a regular Pokemon game. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an extra region, I believe we have still yet to find out more about Southern Kalos. What are your thoughts? |
As I have speculated elsewhere, I do think there is at least a slight possibility that these games could contain Kalos, or at least a portion of it. The region felt highly unfinished so maybe! Then again, they could be moving on from gen 6 as a whole and just giving us another game with one single region.
|
I have a feeling that it'll at least come together plotwise. Perhaps they'll focus on wrapping up the loose ends of Gen V, XYOrAs, and maybe include some stuff from the Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh games, like Rowan, and Oak.
|
I'm thinking that the new region will share a Kanto/Johto dynamic with Kalos, since southern France is still open for region basing.

Im thinking johto kanto dynamic as well... couriway town has a train that serves no purpose right or did I miss something?

All of them is a lot, like way too much. That would either result in a completely broken level curve or approximately zero content in each area. I'd rather see one, maybe two, regions with a decent storyline and lots of stuff to do there than one giant blank map. Quality over quantity! :D
|
I can see Kalos returning. The tropical feel makes me think this is to the south of Kalos, but it could also be to the east (it'll be based on Germany rather than southern France if they go that route).
|
I can see Kalos linking with this new region for sure. They could just be making what we know as South Kalos, another region.
I am still hoping for a connection to a third region. I don't think it is time to put all of the regions in 1 game yet. If they do that, it would probably take a few years to make it. I really want Unova and Kalos to connect still though. We know Looker went somew where and then ended up in Hoenn with no memory. It would be nice if this game connected them. |
One massive region would be incredible. For once I'd love to play a Pokemon game that takes a lot of time and patience, something that doesn't take less than a week to complete, post-game and all. Give me something that I can still be playing weeks later and not be bored of it yet. In AlphaSapphire I bought the game at about 10:30am and by 5pm I'd reached Mossdeep City. I want to be barely past the first gym in that amount of time, not 80% done. Loads to do post-game as well. After beating the Pokemon League in X and Y what is there to do? Catch Zygarde, Mewtwo and Articuno/Zados/Moltres and go to Kiloude City which is ****ing boring. And something more interesting than just a battle facility. It's not the be-all-and-end-all.
|
Also I think it's a continuation for Kalos because xy added only 68 Pokemon by far the least of any game. So the rest of this Dex for Kalos
|
I thought he was referring to being able to transfer Pokemon from the gen 1 games to the PokeBank.
|
I totally believe that these games will have more than one Region. I'm convinced that they will be connected to X & Y, so perhaps the main storyline takes place in a brand new Region and then afterwards we travel over to Kalos. It has been done before with Gold and Silver, so it would be awesome to see something similarly done!

I think it might be a two region, but I don't put all my hopes on this.
I think it might be like Black 2 / White 2, where it's the same map plus some new places. It might be like, half of a new map and half of Kalos. |
For what I've seen Pokemon Sun and moon looks very tropical themed. Kind of looks like Cuba.
|
My theory is that this game is going to be a "Sequal" in a sense to XY. Kind of like how GSC were the "sequals" to RBY. We will most likely be able to revisit Kalos in the post-game (or maybe even in the story? Zygrade maybe?) and possibly other new areas in the post-game that aren't in the region itself. I feel as if GameFreak is going to step out of the norms with this game, as the past 4 releases have been a bit repetitive when it comes to the post-game.

I saw a theory on Reddit saying how X/Y was kind of like a spiritual successor (...as well as a literal successor LOL) to R/B. It gave you a Gen I starter, it reproduced Viridian Forest's layout right in the beginning, and so on. Sooo if S/M follows suit, it would be imitating G/S which had the return to Kanto, so maybe we will return to Kalos. Plus, Gen II was the first to introduce day/night cycles so the titles could also count as a reference to that.
It's totally iffy now, for sure, but it would be really cool if this ends up being the case! I'm usually not on board with the fandom idea that the ideal Pokemon game involves a whole bunch of regions packed into one game, but I wouldn't mind visiting parts of Kalos again or even the whole region, because it did feel kinda small... |

With BW on the other hand, while I did like how it was more plot-focused in the maingame it really was way to linear for my liking. With that said, it balanced that (in my opinion) with the difficulty being reasonable for my tastes. It wasn't no Platinum-kind of difficulty though. Initially for me it was Diamond and Pearl that caused my slight disinterest in the series at first. Then Platinum came in and turned me around. |
I'll be damned if Kalos isn't the post league. Its more then likely they planned the SS Region to literally be the next region from the start, and I do believe that is what we got a glimpse of. So yeah, if they did plan on the next region from XY, while flaunting around new Zygarde formes and leaving it all up in the air, there is no way its up for question. If not, then what the hell Gamefreak?
|
Yeah, given how miserably feature light and lacking Kalos was, I would be very surprised if we didn't get to explore it again postgame in some fashion, maybe with a Zygarde-centric postgame. They've never had just two games devoted to a single region and, whilst Game Freak have gone out of their way to try and surprise us in recent years, I can't imagine them just abandoning Kalos (much as I would like them to) without featuring it in at least one more title.
I would love to have interpreted the direct as meaning EVERY region will be explorable in Sun and Moon, but the odds of that happening are about the same as me winning the lottery, so yeah. |
A game with all regions would be pretty boring, IMO. I'd rather have a new region, a really large one, than explore other regions again.
However, I would not complain if it's Kalos all over again. That region needs an extension. It kind of... hangs if you ask me. |
