    What would it be like? What new Pokémon would there be? What would the trainers be like? Would specialties would the towns have? What changes would you make to this map (I'll update it as suggestions are given.)

    [PokeCommunity.com] If Pokémon was set in Australia...
    [If you like the map, please favourite it on deviant art]

    I personally think it would be remarkably similar to Hoenn.

    Discuss!

    Maybe all the trainers are Burglar class? :P

    What? Who said that? In this day and age? Honestly!!

    I would personally be happy if they didn't introduce any more new Pokémon for a while yet. I think it would be an interesting game, since Australia is famous for having more or less every kind of major environment, including tropics, rainforest, deserts, year-round snow. I think the routes would be ridiculously long since Austrailia is a freaking huge place. :)

    Now this is just making me want to go to Aus right now... :(

    PS - I *love* your in-game map!
     
    I'm trying to work out where the starting town and where the League is. It's been a while since I studied Australian geography, but is the starting town that town to the north of Perth? I'm almost sure that the league is in Hobart as it's at a dead end, and dead ends always equal league locations in Pokemon games. XD
     
    Interesting theory, but the issue I have with is the top (very top) path is crossing the water, as well as from the very bottom up (starting town). So, it seems plausible but I would still say hoenn is part of Japan, :p. (sry for all you people in Australia)

    Well originally I had planned that Hobart would be the starting town, as it's a significant city but not as large as the other capitals, and from there you would go to Melbourne, then clockwise throughout the region until you arrive back at Sydney, and from there go to the league in Canberra.

    Putting the league in Canberra makes a lot of sense culturally. XD

    If Hobart is the starting town, how does one cross the Tasmanian Bay without Surf? Or is there a bridge there irl? :P

    Overall though, I'd have to agree with your assertion that the climate and landscapes would be remarkably similar to Hoenn. :D
     
    The only Pokemon you can catch would be Kangaskahn and that new crocodile pokemon. :P
     
    this is actually a really cool idea, I wish there WAS a game like this. If I could map I'd make one for africa
     
    Hey, that's pretty cool. But on the map there'd be a lot less green and a lot more yellow around central Australia. It's mainly desert there.

    What sorta Pokemon would live here?
    Kangaskhan, the crocodile Pokemon, uh... I guess a lotta the common Pokemon would be here, Rattata, Zubat, Tentacool, Goldeen, Mareep, Murkrow, Wurmple... y'know the usual stuff.
     
    I think most of the Pokemon will be based on the animals normally found in Australia. So things like: snakes, spiders, crocodiles, and so on. I personally think that this is grand idea as it gives a whole new perspective to Pokemon; due to Australia being a completely alien region (at least, to the Japanese) and it'll be fun to see how Game Freak go about making it. XD;

    I like the idea of Hobart being the starting region. It seems so right and Canberra hosting the League is a really cool idea too. I'm loving this :P
     
    Wow, very positive comments, I like it! :D

    There isn't a bridge between Hobart and Melbourne in real life, but I thought in the game you could get on a ferry or something after you get your Pokémon.

    The route crossing water could either be changed (I didn't notice that, somehow...) or it could be used stylistically to create a bridge route that doesn't actually exist.

    Personally I'd love to see the possibilities for water Pokémon, such as Blue-Bottles and Great White Sharks.
     
    Neat idea. I'd love to see it happen, but it probably won't :/
     
    Because Australia and New Zealand go together like... emo characters and Final Fantasy. I could see New Zealand as a Battle Frontier style place, or perhaps the Pokémon League. I like Sydney as one of the starting places, the lab could be... inside the Opera House ;D
     
    Do you know how long it will take to get to one town to another based on your map? All the regions so far are in Japan, so imagine a game where you explore the whole of Australia which is many times bigger.

    New Zealand and Australia are way different, we kill possums and you protect them.
