Official ideas about Gen 10 region before the South East Asia >Canada>Greece>Scandinavia>West Coast
>>58403811Can they ever just listen to customer feedback and do the regions that the fans want instead of this ethical autistic shit?
Canada with native history and folklore would have been peak but also probably cause twitter to cry.
>>58403834And what do the fans want exactly, anon?
>>58403834You are not the fanbase thirdie.
>>58403855crackers want shit like greece and russia. notice i said crackers and not white people.
>>58403834What ethical autistic shit?
>>58403811What were they saying about SEA that convinced them to actually commit to it?
>>58403811Fuming that Canada is off the table because it would upset the natives. That didn't stop them from doing Hawaii, and holding worlds there.
>>58403841Literally my first thoughts kek.
>>58403885No one cared about Hawaiian native bro
>>58403885I think it might mean more that the folklore is simply more difficult to adapt to pokemon.
>>58403878Judging by what got the others rejected>unproblematic history>diversity of fauna>dissimilar in geograpgy to great britain (I'm assuming, given the codename and shade thrown at Cali)
>>58403811everything said here sounds like the absolute most brainless thing that could have been written.
>>58403915>unproblematic history>islam>unprolematicKek
>>58403878Well we don't have a region based on south hemisphere. Many exotic animals and exclusive ones. Different aesthetic from Europe and USA.
>not a peep about australialol
>>58403841>>58403885why would native folklore be problematic for leftists? if anything, they would celebrate it, they love to larp like Canada is still a native country and change street names and shit to native gibberish. it's not like GF would be adapting the native genocide. it's probably just difficult to do research on and adapt.
>>58403885>Nahanni Valley >Open World>Mysterious powersMiss potential
>>58403961Neither Italy, neither Latino Americano or Africa
>>58403915>unproblematic historythey did a Chinese ethnic cleansing not even ~50 years ago
>>58403993That's a good thing, look what is happening in Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia.
>>58403811>"I tried playing assassins creed valhalla"So this is how they decide whether a place is worth basing a region on. Ubisoft games.
>>58403993And nips hate the chinese, what's your point? Globally, the world doesn't have a problem with the, which is the fucking point>buh muh chinky-poosSeriously?
>>58404009>nips hate the chineseYet they hire them to work with them at GF, did you ever bother reading the credits of the games you play, dumb jeet.
>>58404007Is that game about Vikings raiding England anyway?Whole thing is ridiculous.
>we can't do X region because of a lack of animalsThey're fine with luchador parrots in France though? When has a "lack" of ecodiversity ever stopped them? Its Pokemon, nobody expects realism
>>58403978They get upset if you depict anything that deviated from their vision. Wendigos, totem poles, thunder birds. Just including an igloos is seen as racist. They bemoan the commercialization of their icons and treat them like Mohammed being depicted. It's a non-starter. You mix-and-match elements, they get mad. You exclude some, that's preferential. You make a Canadian region with no native elements, that's erasure. You get permission to include elements from every tribe in respectful ways, they'll still get mad and claim that permission is colonial and they'll demand a cut of the pie.
>>58404053>japs like slavedriving chinks shockerThat;s the thing motherfucker, they'll USE the cunts. But they're not actually signing rights of the thing to the party. I'll even state now, they won't reference anything about anti-chinese sentiment OR cleansing, but will openly base their games off the place again. They stayed away from Northern Ireland's situation when they did Great Britain.
>>58403811>Not Greece because animals are to similar with all EuropeBruh this is stupid. We don't have Pegasus, Minotaur, Satyr, Medusa, Cerberus, Hippocampus, Cyclops, Griffin, Laurel Wreath, Olympic Flame, Sponges, Chimera etc
>>58403811>Canada is problematic because of their indigenous history>America is fine thoughWhat did they mean by this?
>we missed out on a wendigo pokemon due to fear of cultural appropriationdisgusting
>No Canadafucking could have had a Wendigo, Sasquatch, and Thunderbird but noooo it would be too hard to adapt.Lame as hell.
>>58404128Americans delegitimised their own native peoples to the point they aren't as culturally interesting to add to a video game compared to movie stars and marvel heroes.
>>58403811So there is a timeline where Pokemon references Saint Seiya...
Nobody cares about Canada and their jeets. Thank god we are going to Indonesia.
>>58404128>>58404133I'm pretty sure they meant it's far too varied across the vastness of the entire country rather than problematic.Pokemon has never had a problem with natives in Canada
it was meant to be his time..
>>58404128Canada got in hot water recently when it became public knowledge native kids were getting killed in boarding schools designed to convert them to Christianity. Obviously something like that doesn't need to be addressed by Pokemon, just as a German region shouldn't even address the holocaust, but you know people would get up and arms no matter what they did with that.
>>58404128There is a distinct "American" culture outside of native Americans. What the fuck does Canada have to distinguish itself?
>>58404162That's literally what it says>When I looked into the history, I found that there was a lot of Native American history, which made it difficult to handle.Probably explains why they wouldn't even consider Australia either
>>58403811>It seems like a Saint Seiya-like story could be madeI know you burger faggots don't care about this bit much because you're ignorant and uncultured, but this is the biggest "we got robbed" of this whole 2nd batch
>>58403811>hmmm the history is difficult to handleNot like GF ever respected the real life history of previous region>hummm the climate and geography isn't very diverseNot like GF has restrained itself from adding some nonsensical fictitious deserts or tundras to previous regions>hmmm there aren't many animalsNot like GF actual bases a region's pokemon on the real life location's animals
>>58403811Do we really need real life regions? I would rather see an original one
>>58404268Pokemon always based their regions from real life though, Kanto is fucking Kanto
>>58404180>kids were getting killedaka they died of typhus at a similar rate as white children in that era
>>58404280>You can never do something differently
>>58404184Clearly the main antagonists will be Team Nortel.
>>58403978It's not that it would be problematic for leftist. It said it would be problematic to adapt well. Basically I think the reason they don't want to go that route right now is because they don't think they have the talent
>>58404180Unfortunately proven false.Not a single body or remains of any sort turned up after they investigated the alleged mass graves.
>>58404280Not Kansei from Conquest
>>58404128Poke'Native American Casinos could be on the table if Euros weren't total faggots
>>58404180Thats half bullshit. They weren't treated well but they werent fucking killed.
>>58403841I mean it’s not like PLA goes over the annexation of Hokkaido and forced assimilation of the Ainu. Just have some native motifs for the mythology and leave it at that. Pokemon is a utopia, no one was killed or had their land conquered in PokeCanada
>>58403811Yep, a latin american Pokemon region is not happening lmao
>>58404365It's still japshit at the end of the day
>>58403811>The animals in Europe are similar This is such an ass excuse when most Pokémon aren't even strictly animal-based and they've been adding Pokémon that aren't much related to the Country the region is inspired from every fucking gen. Like yeah, France is surely full of pandas and native American wrestler birds. Snapping turtles aren't even fucking native to the UK.And Spain is indeed the best region to place sentient sushi and heavily Chinese coded Legendaries in. They're so idiotic they can't even tell themselves lies that make sense.
>>58404118prease undastand haha
>>58403811>Saint SeiyaIt's not fair!!
>>58404186It means they cant just pick one and run with it
>>58404485It was written in 2011. Who knows if they still think the same
>>58403978nintendo censored game and watch having native feathers in smash ultimate. what do you think's gonna happen? our politicians can racist larp and clap for nazis but if u say mankind instead of peoplekind on the internet your getting investigated
Maybe Gen 11 could be Canada, hopefully?
>>58404580Probable not. Already confirmed that gen 11 will be Super futuristic big city with AI shenanigans.
>>58403811Leafbros...
>>58403885Or Alder too. I think they could do it in a respectful way
>>58404059Thats what happened in the real world anon
>>58406327I know. My point is that playing a game set in England for inspiration about Scandinavia is pretty fucking stupid, and that's what he did.
>>58406338Oh nvm my brain wasnt working my bad lol
>>58406338there are parts of Valhalla set in Norway
>>58403811>greece discarded because animals are similarliterally they filled Paldea with shitmons when in reality, Spain and Portugal had a lot of very different and endemic species due to being close to noth Africa and many other reasons (and despite this, they used a lot of generic ones)Also, fucking history and mythologies, they have a lot of material for doing many object/concept mons, and yes, they can share many of the things between greece, italy or spain but they still have A LOT not used
How would you feel if there is less Pokemon lines in Gen 10 but they add more enviormental forms for Pokmon that alter depending on the enviorment like a regional form that is only obtained in a snowy area and it can evolve into a new Pokemon.
>>58406358plus objectmons, even if those cause seethingI'd love another eaglemon or owlmon though
Honestly I'm glad they skipped Greece for this one, doing just the islands would be pretty sad.
>>58403990>Italy Mentioned but in the first part of the tera leak
>>58403912I think it's this, because there are so many cultures that don't have their folklore as well documented or visualized due to how oral tradition was the previous method of preserving culture. The ones that are more well known were the ones able to really persevere despite everything, like the Cherokee or the Sioux of the US.
>>58404184And which of that "rich" American history was included in Gen V? The Jap in a cowboy hat? Please. Most of the important cultural references in Unova were of Native history. They'd find something for Canada.
>>58403961Because everything would be either a poison-type or a Kangaskhan variant
>Canadabruh, Canada is such a nothing ass country that no one even cares about and barely exists. Any region based on Canada would have been boring as shit
>>58404118Sounds gross t b h
>>58403811I don't care about becoming a star... but the idea of beating the shit out of hollywood stars does sound appealing.
>>58406406>Tamagotchi Paradise >Digimon
>>58403990The only plausible country here is Italy considering almost every Latin and African country teeters on collapse year.
>>58403878My theory: nobody knows anything about all the islands.Gen 10’s thing is supposedly a load of procedurally generated islands, and that might annoy people who actually know the region’s inspiration and are expecting certain islands.If Greece was the region, for example, people would expect Crete and Lesbos and shit, and get annoyed when it’s a bunch of random generations instead.Nobody knows anything about SEA so there’s less risk of bugging people.
>>58403811>dropping greece and saint seiya gymsmuh animals right after listing mythology and its endless proto-pokemon monsters and adding the most region unrelated stuff through several dex lineups, part of mythology was also used for sinnoh>canada>interesting everpick one, canada is still oart of northern america as on it shares natives territories and lore, thunderbird is a thing in california areas too, i guess we'd finally get some new fishmons and arctic mons even if alola stole the fox, paldea a narwhal something, unova a polar bear, sinnoh with deers and beavers, just no moose or maplemon yet, paldea got us a salmon sushi too :^)>scandinaviacorrect, stunning natural landscape like americas and asia but said landscape is limited to few ecosystems, would be another sinnoh including heavy focus on gods mythology which was used in kalos and galar>california>we want more capeshit and 'novaborts designslike actual more capeshit after that failed dolphin in paldea, dodged a bullet herestuff like borneo, malaysia, india, indonesia and australia will at least bring new unique mons and especially japan and tajiri favorite topic, insects
>>58407870They never adopt region 1:1 anon, it's mostly just a broad adaptationNo one gonna give a shit if they don't perfectly recreates Lesbos down to to its fucking sewer system
>>58407907Right, but people would definitely expect certain things. If we got Greece with no labyrinth in not!Crete there’d be seething.
>>58403811>Native American history>difficult to handleI would never want to see GF tackle it, that much is true, but they made a game about colonizing the Ainu so....also>their frames of reference are Saint Seiya, Assassin's Creed, and Marvel
>>58407870>If Greece was the region, for example, people would expect Crete and Lesbos and shit>Nobody knows anything about SEA so there’s less risk of bugging peopleBro I'm pretty sure that most people knows more about different SEA with their own distinct characteristic, even if it is very surface level like Borneo=orangutan or Java=temple, than different type of Greek islands
>>58403811I’m fine with any place as long as it’s fun. The Canada thing seems kind of bullshit. Like you could say the same thing about Unova, Alola, hell even Sinnoh. The Japanese colonized Hokkaido. I liked that a West Coast region was considered. The only bad thing here would the region design. SoCal is very flat, and their city designs are fucking blighted.
>>58407776A nothing ass country that your leader desperately wants to absorb as a state. Okay anon lol
>>58403978Last big name changing in Canada was a town that got renamed from "Asbestos".They should still change it back.>>58403993Still the least touchy subject of the wars Vietnam has been in
>>58407938Correct, Greece is about myths and not isles themselves for non Greek and history enthusiasts, a classic region with Greek or Romans in mind would have worked. Obviously they had in mind the Odyssey and Aeneid as it is also a journey and quest based tale and adventure which is very easy to exploit and reference backed by plethora of mythology local lore.When it comes to islands having each their own culture and habits then SEA would have worked better, for natural real animals too. Or SEA + Australia.
>>58403811>Official ideas about Gen 10 region before the South East AsiaCould of sworne this said Ben 10.
>>58404364I just looked it up and only Fox News and NY Post are saying that, also they are saying that searches failed to turn up bodies at specific schools. not that 700 and 250 bodies weren't found at those other schools lol
>>58407955They'd just cover with pretty missionary towns, Palm Springs, northern mountains, souther marine and desert protected areas, rivers and volcanos and lakes scattered everywhere, kaijus and shit coming from the faults and quakes.Chinatowns, reference to Japanese lore tsunamis creating a fossil forest under sand in Cali, mandatory LA urban pozzed area and capeshit quest with le he kino studios, comfy-fied San Francisco city, Winchester Mansion kino spooky location, some iconic buildings from XX century, that one red bridge you cannot not use again, Alcaraz mythical, another mexican village like Lentima Town, tacos and sushis as meme food of the gen.
>>58403811Bali is the best possible location, so they made the right decision.
^bogan wanker
I wonder how big the region will be with its island hopping mechanic and how they gonna adapt the different Indonesian islands to the region. Sumatra alone is larger than Japan
>>58403811>Tfw no Saint Saiya-esque story>No Cloth gimmick
>>58408066Welcome back Mantine Surf.
>Pokemon Frost and Lumber will never be real because GameFreak doesn't want to touch CanadaFuck.
>>58403878I once read a post like a year ago where someone claimed the next gen region is based on Indonesia because of the popularity of HololiveID (vtubers) in Japan
>>58403811Where is Germany? :,-(
>>58408161Tbf Indonesia (along with Malaysia) always be seen as a first staging ground for international expansion by Japanese companies, especially for otaku shitToku, Jpop, and vtuber industries had their first foreign branch/collab/or whatever there
