Do you think they'll ever make a region based off somewhere in Africa? If they did, would they have to make most of the local trainers black?

Egypt is the only part of that continent that matters.

>>59649647
8 months ago I would have told you no, now I’m convinced that the entire northern hemisphere is fucked and we need to escape to as close to Antarctica as we can go. The only lands that matter in the world right now are the African and South American land masses.
Australia isn’t safe. Too close to the ring of fire.

Anyway, absolutely. After the quaking and the storms and the heat, Africa is gonna be the heart of the world. China knows this. However Pokemon continues, IF it continues, there will be an African region.

Nips hate blacks more than this place does. They would rather get another bomb than make an Africa region
>>
>>59649702
>Nips hate blacks
They are probably the most imitated people in the country especially among youth.
Either way, they don’t have a choice, they will need a great escape too and will need to be nice to their African/Chinese overlords when the time comes.

It's simple: use the RE5 formula—a white foreign protagonist paired with a Black local protagonist. The antagonists are primarily white to avoid controversy, while the rest of the cast is a mix of Black, Arab, and white South African characters.

And don't forget to include a Black character in a position of authority.

And to ensure success in Japan, the main girl must be black and have the option of a tribal costume, yes it is sexist and somewhat racist, but they love that cliche.

For the rest of the world make the protagonist a black guy and a blonde girl, Europe and American Jews love that fetish, why? I don't know, but all their porn pages are full of "Blacked" for some reason.

Just as with China, the Japanese hate the modern-day versions of these countries but are in love with their historical iterations—their aesthetics, mythology, and culture.

Their best bet is to create a Legendz game set in the past, using Egyptian pharaohs as a foundation while incorporating elements from other African biomes—such as the savanna, swamps, jungle, and misty mountains. They could also include various tribes and factions, like Maasai warriors, desert Tuareg, or legions from Rome and Persia—and maybe Gaul? Sorry, I’m watching an Asterix movie while writing this.

Imagine if this game had the hardest final boss in the entire franchise—not just high-level, but genuinely difficult to beat.
>>
>>59649881
A general Mediterranean game could be fun. Take south of Kalos and Paldea then add Italy and North Africa. Eastern Mediterranean might be too controversial thanks to the Levant, though.
>>
>>59649897
Utterly unrealistic.
Everyone down there is a shitter.
The only difficulty would come from the low availability of quality Pokémon.

I would love a game set in colonial Africa—full of danger and mystery—but it would be too much for the current generation.

Lenora is the real african queen

Plus, she could easily have an African-themed team: Watchog, Bouffalant, Pyroar, Kecleon, Farigiraf, Grafaiai.

Maybe an Electric/Normal gazelle or a Normal/Fairy naked mole-rat will appear in WW.

>>59649647
The problem with an African region is that if you have any significant portion of the population being decidedly not African looking the cultists in TCPi and Nintendo's cultural sensitivity unit will throw a bitch fit. But at the same time they want to have diversity. Indonesia works naturally for this, and so do western countries. Africa not so much. They may be able to get away with perhaps Madagascar or North Africa, but I suspect if they really tried to go for it it would be something like what>>59649881 suggests. Only problem with that is that is a good idea, therefore we can say with absolute certainty that it will not happen

Egypt is really the only country I can see them going with. Anywhere else is either too obscure or not otherwise marketable. Frankly, I'm suprised WiWa is inspired by Indonesia as that region doesn't strike me as being particularly marketable.

Her game.

First Raya, now Forgotten Island—I don't know, guys; to me, it seems like SEA isn't marketable at all, at least on a global scale. Honestly, Italy or Greece sounded like better options.

Yeah, they aren't video games, but my point is that SEA is like that Thai food you try once—it’s not bad, but you immediately go back to burgers, pizza, and sushi, and never talk about it again.

Pokemon will still well because it's Pokemon, but SEA is still such an odd choice.

>Italy or Greece sounded like better options
Maybe it's just because I'm part Greek but it pissed me off so much when it was revealed that WiWa's region was going to be based on Indonessia and not Greece like some leaks claimed.

Yeah, to me it’s like they didn’t have the balls to make a region based on China, so they went with their bootleg version instead.

What the hell are you guys talking about? Every Japanese company in existence LOVES Southeast Asia, and if anything Nintendo (and video games in general) are the only exception to that and ridiculously late to the party
Think any Japanese franchise out there, 9 out of 10 they have massive presence on SEA and it was their first major international expansion ever, or just straight up have official branch catered to them
>>
>>59649839
Sorry, but I can't see moder Game Freak doing that. Older GF maybe, but now they are going safer. After SV I think they are going for blander MCs. WW ones don't look as bad as SV's, but I can see them going very limited with the outfits. Its a tropical nation, but is a muslim majority country after all.
In the other hand, I can totally see doing a very sexy black tribegirl NPC. Hot female NPCs are GF best asset to make fans overlook their games many flaws. Think of someone similar to Olivia.

Cheetahmon when?

I’m not a fan of these designs, but I like the idea of a Pokémon duo evolved for speed—one geared towards escape and the other towards the hunt. This could be represented by the gazelle having defensive and evasive moves, while the cheetah has offensive ones.

I could see part of Tunisia appearing in a game with an Italy-inspired region, as a reference to Carthage. Kinda like how the Indonesia region has a small part of Australia.

Other than that, I feel that Egypt and South Africa are the only countries relevant enough to become full regions. Other parts of the continent could work as DLC areas, though.

They should have done this with every region: a main region paired with a small section of another—serving both as a bonus and as an excuse to feature a country that otherwise has little to no chance of ever being used as a primary region.

For example:

Hoenn with Jeju Island (South Korea)

Sinnoh with Sakhalin (Russia)—while this is technically canon, it hardly feels like Russia; it could feature an independent Gym, and given the current games, it would be the perfect nature reserve for Ursaluna and Basculegion.

Unova with a post-game area in Ontario or Quebec

Kalos including the Alps shared with Switzerland and Germany

For Galar, the most logical choice would have been to include Ireland, but that might have been too controversial; the Faroe Islands (part of Denmark) would be another option—perfect for a Viking-themed setting.

Paldea could feature the coastal region of Morocco as a post-game area.

I can't think of anything for Kanto, Johto, or Alola.
