It's going to be Indonesia or South East Asia. Official Indonesian Pokemon tcg just released last year in October.
>>56631034The evil team better be a ring of Slakoth torturers who post videos of their crimes on Poketube.
>>56631034it's going to be Greece because muh Gaia (ignore the fact that every other switch game also had a greek codename and ignore all the other evidence, Khu said it was Greece so it has to be Greece)
>>56631034They also have a fucking drone show last month in Jakarta
>>56631049mfw one of the substories is about saving a female slakoth shaved from head to toes, held captive in a human brothel.
>>56631034I'd like it, the Earthsea books convinced me it's a good setting for fantasy adventures.
Idk if Indon's govt paid TPC to advertise their country or not, but they have an entire goddamn event campaign across the country, and it even have its own website https://flying-pikachu.com/id/about/index_en.html
>>56631059>ignore all the other evidenceWhat other evidence?
>>56631101
>>56631059>Khu said it was GreeceWhere?
>>56631355Kek
>>56631355kek but it should have been two pic rel
>>56631034Why would they set it in the least interesting or relevant parts of the world?
>>56631034The whole island-hopping and exploring they demanded the anime to take out would make sense, but isn't that too similar to Alola?
Are S/V that old yet?
>>56632255>isn't that too similar to Alola?So?
>>56631034>Tropical rain forest and Wallace line mean we will have ton of new pokemon>Gen 10 is multiplication of 5Bros, are we going to have hard reset like Gen V ? Best and soulful gen (with lowest revenue) incoming ?
>>56631034The only places in Southeast Asia foreigners know are Singapore and Thailand, a pokemon region would have to be based in either one
>>56631034I honestly would like that a lot. It's a region of the world we haven't experienced in the Pokémon games and it'd give them a chance to focus more on the adventure vibe. Works well with open world. Has the potential to be like Wind Waker
>>56633781Indonesia is the new hot thing in Japan right now
>>56631049WHITE PEOPLE made them do that
>>56631034What do we know about Gen 10 from the leaks anyway?
>>56634195Codename is GaiaTwo versions, “K” and “N”Test builds for the Switch for both versions dated to September 2023
>>56632049Sword & Shield best games since it lets you recreate 9/11 with ease
>>56634481Well that's not really giving us many clues
>>56631101Based
>>56632255Alola barely had the island hopping feature since you'd just take a boat to the next region. This'd be open world and have you actually travelling the seas and islands like Hoenn, but in 3D. It has a lot of potential to be kino. Think of all the event islands in Hoenn like Mirage Island, the Mew island, Navel Rock. But blown up to a whole game. There could be a whole island that the evil team took over. Or if they wanna be funny there could be a Bidoof island where Bidoof and Bibarel are the only residents. Idea has a lot of potential
>>56632255>>56634954Pokemon Wind Waker would be ridiculously kino
>>56633706Indonesia being close to Japan (and maybe Hawaii) also have the potential for older characters to make reappearance, which is what lacking in the previous two gens
>>56631034If they’re continuing the theme of regions being based after famous countries with a pokemon version of a big landmark, they can’t do Indonesia X and Y were revealed with the Eiffel Tower, Sun and Moon had a blatant Hawaiian aesthetic, Sword and Shield have London and Big Ben, and the Sagrada Familia and Plaza Mayor locations were in SV’s reveal, what does Indonesia have that the general public could see and recognise immediately? Nothing
>>56635092One thing I hated about Galar especially is how isolated it felt
>>56635094Borobudur or those Bali structure you always see in tourist ads, or maybe their national monument if religious building is a no-no>Sagrada Familia and Plaza Mayor locations were in SV’s revealThis shit isn't recognizable to general public lmao, let's not kid ourselves here
>>56631059Greece would feel too similar to Hoenn imo
>>56635094Many anons didn't know Unova was based on New York for a long while. I remember there was a big war between anons thinking it was set in Shanghai vs those who thought it was New York
>>56631034I genuinely hope that it's India to mindbreak everyone on 4chan.
>>56635140>BorobudurNips emperor did visit the place last year
>>56635210This trend of the region being super explicit about its irl inspiration started with Kalos, Unova was halfway there but didn’t really pokemon-ify a super recognisable landmark and took liberties
>>56635234Also forget to mention, his visit to Indonesiais actually his first foreign state visit as an emperorMany westerners may not realize this, but Indonesia is comfortable sitting at maybe the top 5 important friends/ally to the Japanese, at least to their government
>>56633706No because Dexit. There's about 50 shillmon guaranteed slots, so about 350 dex and 450 total additions.
>>56635231They're never going to do a BRICS country like Brazil, China etc... since it'd be too controversial
>>56635333Yeah I always preferred the wink wink nudge nudge approach. A Poke-Statue of Liberty would've ruined the world building for me.
>>56631154Indonesia is used by Japanese companies to test products overseas and has a lot of investments and projects in Indonesia
>>56635388Unova does have a building called Liberty Garden in the same irl location as the Statue of Liberty, but it’s just a lighthouse, if they followed the gem 6+ design philosophy I’m sure we’d have gotten a blatant Pikachu of Liberty or something
>>56635473I doubt it, if anything it would be lady liberty with a pikachu on her shoulder, first as the mascot shill, second to reinforce the folly of TP's plans to separate humans and pokémon - Castelia outright highlighting the unity of people and pokémon proving anything TP said as false, given the people who'd built the city felt need to mark it.
>>56635374This is what I’ve been saying for a while, countries controversial in any way will never be selected as an inspiration for a region, this is the same process the Mario Kart cities were selected, note how the countries represented by tracks in Mario Kart have no big political or social issues (except maybe Thailand)? And that every country that inspired a pokemon region also has rep in Mario Kart?
>>56635674Define controversial
>>56635707Civil wars, ethnic cleansings, world parishs unjust invasions, known for piracy
>>56631034indonesia is circumcised
>>56635674>US>not controversialThose niggas were still pretty active bombing Arabs when gen 5 was released, not to mention it was the most controversial war they had since Vietnam
>>56635824But they're the world's dominant economic force so no one cares
>>56635674Baguette muncher are literally still doing neo-colonialism in Africa as we speak right now
>>56635876And no-one's batting an eyelid, because we got a rake of other actual cunts running countries doing worse shit right now making the news ahead of them. How quaint, the media prefers the bigger, jucier stories of fuckwits in power than the velvet glove hiding the fist of steel.
>>56635876How?
>>56635931Then being "controversial" means jackshit, the only (currently) controversial country that could realistically getting adapted to become a region is Russia anyway, as any others would be too irrelevant and obscure even if they become a peaceful place tomorrow
>>56631049I blame Unovan
>>56635417Sure, but it's fucking Pokemon. They don't needs to test shit for them to guess if anything with Pikachu's face on it will turn up a profit or not
>>56635372>No because DexitWhat do you mean no? Gen 5 is infamous for not having any previous gens Pokemon, it's practically a proto-Dexit
>>56635155True.Hoenn had mainland and islands. Greece has mainland and islands, and almost in the same orientation. Mainland from top right to top left, and top left to top bottom, leaving all the right portion to islands. Shape of mainland is way different though.Anyway, as a Greek I would love for my country to be represented, but there are many other reasons why it won't, besides similarity to Hoenn.
>>56637944They were all still in the code and people could catch/transfer them in the postgame, get them from dream world or just use an Action Replay.
