New locations?

[pkmin3033]

Or some surfing routes. Surprised by how Alola lacked so many...

I think that was to avoid comparisons with ORAS, honestly...after all, the "too much water" meme would have inevitably surfaced if we had been able to Surf/Dive along routes between islands, even though the island setup practically begged for that.

I wonder this time if we'll be able to do that too, now that Alola has established itself as something separate. It'd be a nice way to expand the region without expanding the region.

Pretty sure we'll get a few new areas at the very least, maybe even a new island if we're lucky. What would be cool if Akala Island split into smaller islands due to a volcanic eruption.

maybe new island to explore in the post game, and make the 8 open slots gyms as well as trails.
maybe trails for in game and gyms for post game..

I don't expect any more islands but I do expect new areas on all of the existing islands.
I'm hoping for Poni island to get a a mayor redesign myself since it is completely bare in the originals, specially the Battle Tree area, previous games had the battle facilities in towns or special areas, the Battle Tree however is in the middle of nowhere. (Wouldn't mind if they removed the tree completely to add something better too)

I'd just like to see some of the areas expanded on a bit. Though new islands wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing by any means.

Plus it'll be a nice chance to get to use Lapras and Sharpedo more xD
