Oh man, that's an awesome idea. It's not like they would have to limit it to only Ice-types, either. I could see there being all types of different areas, like an abandoned, ominous town that froze over with a Ghost gym leader, or a tribe far to the South that resides near a gigantic camp fire they've kept going for years, and the gym there is Fire-type. Things like that to flesh out the region o:

I have to agree that D/P/Pt did their snowy areas right, like with Snowpoint City and the northern routes connecting it to Mt. Coronet. I still think that Sinnoh was one of the best desinged regions overall, even if I wasn't particularly fond of the games themselves. It didn't really feel linear like Unova (and to a lesser extent Kalos), which I enjoyed.

Ever played Shadows of Almia, anyone? That had a beautiful Ice castle. Hopefully something of that sort we'd see soon in a Pokémon game!

I liked the snow in DPPt, and I was kind of sad that Ice-types always have a very small part in the games and rarely do they actually have a lot of them. I'd be happier if we could get to the snow earlier, though.

That all sounds pretty top notch, Pepperton.

Not yet, there's a couple reasons to that.
Although, I would like to see which ice castle you speak of.

. . . Google only brought up this.


While it may have ice on the inside, it doesn't scream 'ice castle' on first glance.

Oh, that would actually be pretty cool. I wonder what use they would have for it, though? Perhaps they could use it for as some secret hideout of sorts? They might be able to use it as a gym as well, but I'm not sure if it'd worth to let the castle go under such waste; in my opinion, it could play some significant role within the story.

They do have large towers/buildings as dungeons in the games. Perhaps it could even be linked to the legendary Pokémon of a future generation. I'd also like to see some better Ice habitats in the new gens to come. Minimal addition of Pokémon, but much better climate and habitat, to suit the icy theme.

And yeah, I think that's what I meant, although if you look at it that way it isn't all that impressive, but keep in mind this was released before Gen V.

Orre has a huge desert region, albeit you only traveled through it to get to certain places. I'm personally not a huge fan of deserts because of the sand, but regardless, it would be nice to see more desert areas in the main games. Same deal with snowy regions like the route between Mt. Coronet and Snowpoint in Sinnoh. Even though that route was annoying as heck to get through, it was still pretty fun. Kalos's snow route between Anistar and Dendemille was fun to travel through, too, especially since you got to ride around on Mamoswine XD An ice castle sounds really pretty, and I loved the one in Almia, so it'd be awesome if one of the main games received one at some point <3

Apart from water and grasslands I don't think we've seen much of exotic climate, even in Hoenn. Even mountains in the games are lacklustre. Maybe better terrain management is unrealistic, but it won't hurt sometimes to completely base a region on a desert, like maybe in Africa? For the upcoming gens, it's certainly something fresh to see.

well by completely i meant obv we'll have grass here and there, but very little of it and very little ice types and water

If there were indeed such a region, I'd imagine players to be equipped with Go-Goggles from get-go, and be dressed accordingly so that they don't have to go through much trouble when there's some gigantic sandstorm. It'd be filled with ground and rock-types mostly, yeah, but I don't think much people would mind that. We might get tired of it every now and then, but we'll get used to it pretty soon; our main goal here is to enjoy whatever the game has to offer, and not vice-versa.

I think it'd be interesting to have a region set in an all-snowy area--it could be based off of Antarctica or the north pole or something. Sinnoh's pretty snowy (I'm still of the mindset that the first four regions embody a specific season, with Sinnoh representing Winter), but you don't get hail in most places. It could also give Ice types love since they're one of the worst defensive types out there.

I don't know if I'd want a whole region covered in snow- unless future games were to bring back seasons, and we saw snow accumulating in places like it did with Icirrus City, Twist Mountain, etc. As for a desert region, I don't think I'd be a big fan. The deserts in Pokemon games are always one of my least favorite places to travel, mostly because Rock and Ground types are two of my least favorite. If we were to get even more of them than we already do, I'd be a bit annoyed at it.

A whole snow region sounds fun to me and I could see it working, but a whole desert region sounds so boring. As Brendino said desert areas are one of my least favorite areas to travel through. It's like the entire area is brown, the Pokemon are brown, NPCs in the area are usually in brown ruins clothes... ugh so much brown. I actually enjoy rock/ground types, but I don't need nor want an entire region of them.

I think with a snowy region you could incorporate more Pokemon too. I could see the Pokemon being based off of hardier plants and animals of our world that live in colder conditions. I realize deserts have this too, but not as many.

The worst part about a desert region would be the constant Sandstorms.

There are desert regions though. Just not in the main games :) Orre, anybody?

I'd love to see another archipelago like the Sevii Islands! I liked their addition to FRLG and disliked how there haven't been any archipelagos since. Also, the idea of constant sandstorms got me thinking: if there were another archipelago, wouldn't it be neat if the archipelago consisted of four islands that were always under a certain weather condition? Of course, there'd need to be a reason as to why the islands have different types of weather, especially since they'd be so close geographically speaking, but it'd still be interesting to see.

Yes, I would love this idea! It reminds me a lot of Fire, Ice and Lightning Island from the second Pokemon movie- the weather could be explained by the presence of a Pokemon like Articuno (snow), Zapdos (thunderstorms) or Moltres (intense heat). Of course, it wouldn't have to be those Pokemon exactly, but something like that would make the varying weather on islands in such close proximity plausible.

All this 'snowy region' talk is reminding me a lot of the rom hack I saw recently.

The /vp/ section of 4Chan was working on it for a really long time and they recently released the demo! Has anyone heard of it? It's called Pokemon Sage version!

I think a snowy region in a main game would be cool but it would probably involve consistent hail just like Pokemon Sage. I think I'd prefer hail over a sandstorm though. :P

perhaps other people may be interested in these things hint hint

Archipelagos tend to be really beautiful. Even in 3rd Gen graphics I felt that Sevii Islands were kinda nice to see. Imagine what they could work with with a 3D engine.

Though it sounds fun to have a desert island. The borders may be grassy and things but inland will be sand dunes, more sand dunes... and sand dunes. Rock/Ground types are obv going to be the most prominent, but combining it with shore would allow a good mix of type varieties. Same goes with snowy islands.

And mountains. You'll never know what to expect with mountains.

I loved the sevii islands!! I thought it made for such a good post story plus extra to do before even defeating the champion. I really hope they make a fun addition like this to ORAS... I can understand why HG/SS didn't really get one since you have all of Kanto to explore after.

The weather extremes on each island is a fun idea. Also cool to see the many didn't customs of the people on the island to also add a theme to it.

In X and Y, they've said that there was another region waiting to be discovered, never-before-seen. Perhaps we'll be able to see this in ORAS? I'm not sure what the possibility is of this actually happening, but I know I'd definitely love it. Post-game, we'd have a lot more things to do that way, rather than just catching Pokémon, building a team, battling online, and so forth.

As far as how the region might look, I could imagine it to be pretty small and based off an island.

iirc, the rumors about Pokemon Plus and Minus stated the region was an archipelago, and while they may be rumors, it's possible they hold some truth to them. (Unless, of course, they were completely debunked; haven't checked.) A new region connected to ORAS would definitely be cool, though I sort of hope it'll be connected to XY's third game, especially since you have a train station in Couriway Town that you can't use.
