Would it focus on Norse myths?We've already gotten plenty of mons based on norse myths, including the Kalos trio (Xerneas is Eikthyrnir, Yveltal is Hraesvslgr and Zygarde is the children of Loki). There's plenty more myths though, the dwarves, Odin, Sleipnir, Nidhoggr (though Zygarde may be partially based on that), a living fucking piece of mistletoe eyc.
Awful. You don't actually want it, it would be Galar but even worse because REASONS. And you don't need the whole region to be Nordic if you just want nordic inspired mons. Just put your sleipnirmon in the tropics or something.
>>58239096Nah I want Norsemons + Nordic themed story with a Nordic region with actual culture
Pretty good, here's a Pic off the side of the road when I was in Norway
>>58239104>>58239072Why do babby angloids have no appreciation for scandinavian culture besides LE NORSE GODZ XDDD!!!! This is the most unfunny reddit bullshit that panders to the lowest common denominator.
>>58239118It's like this every time Yokai or a Greek region/Gen 10 is brought up tbdesu. The entertainment scene is already oversaturated with westernized slop that's made a minstrel show of ancient pantheons altogether. People don't bother to learn or properly appreciate the culture of the countries regions are based on, they just resort to begging for stuff everybody recognizes because they only have a surface level knowledge of that culture based on what they've seen in mass media.
>>58239104And that's why you don't want a Nordic Region, best case scenario is this:Lutfisk Meme mon, Norway/Fjordzone, Finland/Forest-Lake Zone, Iceland/Volcano zone, some runestones, Not-Sami obsessing over Wyrdeer, Sauna Minigame for your mons (Ends with ice dip) 1 Gymleader with a horned helmet, Stupidest hats for protags to date. All with shitty weather/eternal overcast and possibly an eternal night zone.Remember anon, GF does "Research Trips" to the place they pick, you need to think of it from a japanese tourist getting a curated guide perspective, not a "I like the Myth" perspective.
All this was already wasted on XY btw
>>58239072A nordic region would probably bust be based on modern Scandanavia.There'd be a handful of mons that reference Norse myth, obviously, but they'd likely be outnumbered by ones that don't.Ultimately, Pokemon aesthetic will always take priority over regional aesthetic.
I hope GF won't pull an SMT and FGO to created a Scathach = Skadi Pokemon via a feminist's book...
>>58239229Paldea already gave us IKEA Mice.
>>58239250It also gave us Kamen Rider and Godzilla.I don't think Paldea could've been less Spanish if they tried.
>>58239118No, I'd want Scandinavian history and culture too. The Mythology would be a big part, but there'd be other things as well. I think a solid chunk of the dex would be based on Scandinavian wildlife with a few Legendaries based off the Aesir and Vanir. Due to the colder climate there'd be a lot of icy areas and hopefully early game ice types.
>>58239156I was thinking of it from a "I've lived in Norway and frequently travel to Sweden and Denmark and also find our history and mythology very intriguing and wish to share it with the world." Perspective
>>58239442Still pissed they didn't give us the Rooster of Barcelos despite Masuda promising one will come if they ever made a Spain or Portugal region.
>>58239518I'm mad that they didn't even go for the super shallow cuts.A windmill giant was right there.
