Going by possible hints, what area do you think will be the basis for Gen 10’s region?
>>56503605It's California whether you like it or not
>>56503792Gen 10 is out AFTER that you dumbass. August 2026 is still Gen 9.
>>56503794You know damn well we're going right back to yearly rushed games right after ZA comes out. Late 2026 is gen 10
>>56503605Australia i'd sayI hope Japan though
>>56503605Either Wyoming or the Central African Republic. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being Bahrain.
>>56503816That's exactly what I saying, retard. Gen 10 is only after those 2 california tournaments. Totally unrelated.
>>56503878That means it gets announced before the 2nd tournament and will get a news update during it. California is absolutely related. Use your brain, dummy.
>>56503794there's no official designation of when a generation starts or that it's even a term. We could be on gen 11 now if we count them as mainline games that add new pokemon, or even gen 16 if it extends to forms for all we know.
>>56503875lul
>>56503605Please be Australia
>>56503605I feel bad for Spain and England. Those games felt nothing like them, at least it did like France a little
>>56503605Germany or Italy
>>56503605As much as I hate it, Brazil has a decent chance, Italy and Greece are pretty much a given at some point, there's a few hints towards Australia, the decisions for which regions are chosen is basically "is this a popular tourist spot for the Japanese" and thanks to Gamefreak's laziness and the Japanese being hyper autistic, I actually dread seeing these countries realized in the form of Pokemon regions because I know it's going to be lazy, shallow and boring, there's no passion for the series anymore and expecting good things from it is a mistake.>>56504174They did Portugal and Scotland even dirtier, pretty much didn't even consider them unique countries when attaching them to their neighboring nations and calling it a day, the Galar dex at least had references to British culture, Paldea's dex has almost nothing to do with Spain or Portugal's nautical prowess or the south American colonies aside from Quaqaval and Skeledirge's inspirations, I guess Tauros too, but the regionals are so lazy and boring that I barely count them. I can only imagine it getting worse from here.
I believe it's Australia since it was hinted at in the history teachers classroom or something
>>56503605Australia or Italy (hinted in the picture in the player's house). Although apparently not hinted, I think Germany will probably get a region too at some point.
>>56504215>Portugal and ScotlandScotland isn't currently a Country the same way Portugal is, it's in a political union with Britain, Wales and Northern Ireland.Portugal isn't in a political union with Spain.
S A K H A L I NAKHALIN
They can't keep ignoring India forever. It's the cradle of the greatest civilization the world has ever seen.
>>56503792There's already a thread for this.>>56504470
>>56503605Well, Italy and Germany are the only ones still missing to have the Relevant Five of Europe
Does it even matter? Paldea barely had anything to do with Spain despite being directly inspired by it. Its legendaries didn't even fucking have anything to do with them, they were fucking China and Japanese based
>>56503605Austria-Hungary region would bring attention to all the smaller present-day countries that once composed the former empire.
>>56504875How did Austria manage to fuck up this bad?
>>56503605Brazil, it has the biggest japanese population outside of Japan and has been getting traction in japanese media as of late (Splatoon 3 for example), lots can be done there too like jungles, beaches and so on. I hope they come back to making the evil teams just mobsters like Team Rocket and straight the fuck up introduce a animal trafficking cartelMy personal choice would be Italy, im a fucking weeb for that place and I visit a different region in there every year, it's so fucking beautiful and so much could be done there. Sadly modern day GF will butcher it but I hope that the piss poor SWSH and SV sales alongside palword are making them reconsider the quality control.
>>56503875Why not Turkmenistan?>gold statues everywhere
>>56504913This is probably the most likely of all the BRICS. Not very likely, but still.
>>56503605China
>>56504936>Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau
>>56504932Im big on russian culture but they would just end up making it: ICE TYPES, the game and not make anything cool with russian history because that would challenge the age rating a bit too hard.India and China just forget it, who the fuck would want to play a game set in India and with pokemon being such a big franchise for them, the economic fighting between Japan and China would not allow it.South Africa is too obscure and if they were to pick a country from there it would be Egypt (ground types, the game)
>>56504215It's true, most of western Paldea has some very clear Portugal inspiration, but it's so well integrated that most people don't even acknowledge it. Mesagoza also immediately reminded me a lot of Lisbon even though I haven't been there in years
>>56505196i always thought portugal was part of spain wtf.at least the language is the same i guess?
>>56505264How dumb are you
>>56503915I think using a pair of games that introduce us to a new region isn’t that hard an idea to follow. The people who try and argue are trying to be obtuse
>>56505274???
>>56505274He's just American
>>56505330this cant be real
>>56505196I haven't been to Portugal since I was kid but yeah the azulejos and very coastal culture remind of me Lisboa/Lisbon too and it's depressing how much Gamefreak overlooked the incredibly interesting and rich history the country has, especially considering I think Masuda himself visited the place and mentioned he wanted to make a Pokemon based on the famous clay rooster legend, feels especially retarded we didn't get a single legendary based on the several legends of Iberia or even any animals based on the cool fossils found there.>>56505264WE SPEAK PORTUGUESE YOU UNEDUCATED FUCK, WHY DO AMERICANS ALWAYS FUCKING ASSUME WE ARE SPANIARDS AND SPEAK FUCKING SPANISH?!
>>56505366>all capshe mad thoi always thought portugal was a province of spain because the culture looks literally the same and ive never heard "portuguese" in my life.and try not to chimpout this much.
>>56505366Brazil speaks Portuguese, you speak gibberish with that stupid accent
>>56504248It should be, dumb non-country. Most smaller states in Europe should be gobbled up by their big neighbors, Portugal first
>>56505385>I've never heard of "portuguese" in my lifeIs this the average american? How the fuck...Damn I don't even have words to say, you guys are just really fucking stupid
GF would not make a russia gameJapan has disliked russia for 100+ years now, they still hold onto islands Japan claims and most japanese people are pro-ukraine as a result. We're not seeing a russia region in our lifetimes
>>56505416It went oh so well when they did that last time...On another note, balkan pokemon region would be based beyond belief.
>>56505426Meant to reply to>>56504949
>>56505330I call bullshit. No one around here knows about Moomins.
>>56505196How the fuck did they manage to make it look worse than what it was based on
>>56505471This is true for every pokemon region based off somewhere though
>>56504215>They did Portugal and Scotland even dirtier, pretty much didn't even consider them unique countries when attaching them to their neighboring nations and calling it a dayScotland is not an independent country. Portugal should not be an independent country.
>>56505531Kalos looks 100000% times better than Fr*nce
>>56505765>a 1000 year old nation state should not exist
>>56505853Absolutely! Fuck your special snowflake meme microstate!
>>56505862It's not a microstate thoughAmerica is the big one, I advocate we divide it in at the very least 4-5 countries based off how culturally different each part is, same goes for places like China and Brazil (Russia, Canada and Australia dont apply because its mostly wasteland)
>>56505366>>56505417>waaaaahhhhh i hate americansYour country is a socialist eurotrash shithole. You are in no position to call anybody else "fucking stupid," you fucking stupid lazy-ass greasy pig.Pray tell, how much foreign aid does your broke country give to the rest of the world?>>56505391Muito obrigado senhor.
>>56505330One for you, one for me.>>56505363It happens.
>>56503844We've already got 8 of those
source: japan loves brazil
>>56507346Im brazilian I just like Portugal a lot, travelled there and it's pretty and they have a really good art/lit scene to this day unlike my own country.
>>56504215>region based off spain>no pokemon based off wine or grapes>no pokemon based off spices>no ghost type living windmill pokemon>no royalty based pokemon>no soccer stadiums like GalarHow the fuck did they miss the mark so badly
what "possible hints"?there are no hints, this is all just wild mass guessing
>>56509265Just play the romhack
>>56503605It's gonna be SEA, isn't it?
>>56509302is the champion king felipe?
>>56509360Yes, but for some reason he's the only member of the league to not have pokemon iberia pokemon, no idea whyFranco is a funnier gym leader
Should be China
>>56503605india or china to appeal to a wider audience
>>56507355US states are irrelevant.No one needs to know the internal subdivisions of a country he doesnt live in.The equivalent of Americans placing European countries is Europeans placing American countries.Someone who can't place Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia...etc is uneducated about basic geography.
>>56509265Not Quixote, it's like a poke-New York without a hotdog or the Statue of Liberty ...oh wait, that tailReshiram is Lady Liberty!
