Pokemon USA
I was wondering if anybody had done a Pokemon USA/America remake. Where instead of Japanese stuff it's remade with a whole bunch of USA stuff.
There are a couple of ways I can hash this out. So bear with me while I think it through.
I could release different games with different storylines. Or I could stick with the original image I found and release one game (I know that's a lot of work) but it might be easier to go with one HUGE game instead of many different ones. The games will have all redesigned maps and different sections of America. This game will be made using GPG Maker XP and Poke Essentials. Since this is the easiest way.
Pokemon North America, or USA:
First Storyline: North East (New York, NJ, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin)
Second Storyline: Bible Belt (Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and into Virginia, Texas through the Great Plains to the Dakotas, and concentrated in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, and Mississippi.)
Third Storyline: Western States past texas, four corners, north south dakota, idaho etc... (Not sure what to call this area)
Fourth Storyline: West Coast California, Oregon, and Washington
Additional Storylines: Somewhere in Texas you can jump into Mexico which will be very difficult to get through for an outsider. As well as explore portions of icy Canada. Different shipping ports will be able to get you to Hawaii and Alaska.
How would I move forward with the locations? I can't obviously include all the states and all the regions I would like to without making a storyline based on each state. (Which I won't rule out in the future if I get really good at this). I was thinking of focusing on certain big cities and famous attractions in America.
North East Region:
New York City, Jersey Shore (this can be really funny), some type of ski resort for the north etc… Welcome to other suggestions. Maybe Chris Christie can be a fat gym leader here… I was also thinking of placing the elite 4 in Washington DC. Making Obama the last of the elite four.
Bible belt- the Bible belt will focus mainly on over religious people who try to convert you to various religions. Though you remain strictly neutral on this level, there will be different trainers to face. New sprites could include: snake worshippers, priests, crazy old ladies and men chasing you with bibles along with assortments of cowboys, drunks and oil guys. I'm thinking of just making this a HUGE flat plains area. It will take a long time to get through and pretty much the same stuff for hours. Much like the ocean in regular pokemon games, but much longer and more annoying!
I could make a specific Libertarian/Conservative Texas area too right after you exit the plains.
Western region: I could focus on the Four Corners, Mormons in Utah, I was also thinking of making this a completely paranormal area due to Area 51 and Roswell both being here! Full of Ghost and Physic pokemon. I think the Rocket Headquarters could be Area 51 with Mewtwo being stuck there.
For the West Coast. Silicon Valley will be the main focus, but I could throw in a couple of red light district stuff like sleazy prostitutes and gangs. Microsoft will be a huge presence in the game. As I just realized Bill as in the guy who made the PC in the regular Pokemon games could be Bill Gates in an American Version. You will of course get to battle Bill Gates as you make your way through Microsoft Headquarters.
I was thinking of making Mexico a dark desert where you need Flash to get through and full of hard to beat people with almost no rest…
I was thinking of making Alaska an icy slate. Hawaii an island paradise As well as Florida…
Gym Leaders could be the politicians that represent the areas mentioned above. Could be the most famous/well known politicians of each region.. Hence why I used Christie as an example for NJ and Obama for DC.
I'm still working on more specifics but I have a lot of ideas and more came to me as I was writing this. Let me know what you guys think!
I also plan to include an area where you can catch ANY pokemon at ANY time. Kinda like Bill's Backyard in the anime.

The first couple should give you a good idea what I am shooting for.
