Which countries do you think Game Freak considers too "controversial" to adapt for a Pokémon game. If they're going to include SEA for gen 10 then just being third world isn't an issue for them.
>>
>>58428397
China
Korea
Russia
Middle East
Germany
All of Africa

I think Egypt would be an obvious choice if they ever went there.

China is such a big market that they could make or let a third party make a game exclusively for that country and make good money without getting into controversies with other countries.

>>

Middle East except maybe Egypt.
>>
>>58428397
No extreme poverty like many places of Africa and no dictatorships like latam, US or Russia. Other than that I'm sure they are okay with anything
>>
>>58428397
people want brasil but i feel they'd never make a game in brasil because they're scared of the place
i can see however a region that is based on 'unidentified area in the middle of southamerica' and takes elements from both the andes, the amazon and the bolivian deserts
they're never picking up the part below in argentina and uruguay because the environment and culture is just paldea 2
>>
>>58428397
I don't get why people are up in arms about third world regions. I think they have great potential for grittier settings (at least by Pokemon standards)
>>
>>58429308
SEA is literally tied with Central America as the most aesthetically ugly part of the world.
>>
>>58429161
>people want brasil

nobody actually wants this except insecure Brazilians esl. In fact, Pokemon games have gone to shit since it moved away from Japan with third worldies thinking it matters they get their stupid country as a region as if it means anything.

>>58429308
case in point, its faggot shit like this that has ruined Pokemon games, why should a Pokemon region even reflect what it is in real life?
>>
>>58429161

Literally not a single soul wants that shithole except some of the poor souls trapped in said hole.

>>58428421
>>58428667
They've already been hinting at China for a while but they could always sidestep it and base a region on Mongolia and its former conquest lands instead
>>
>>58428421
>>58428667
>>58429409

Why do esl and third worlders even think there is anything controversial about China or even Korea for Japan? (especially since the only thing controversial about Korea in Japan is how koreans always bitch and whine about everything, see Hikaru no Go) China especially. I can see the some Pokemon company suit faggots not wanting it, but that seems like such a likely place for GF to go too.

No, they haven't. If you think using some chinese element in an asian game is a hint towards visiting china you may as well think they have been teasing it since gen 1

No, but TPC will do it* for that Chinese money (2/3 weighs more than 1/3), Tencent is probably already doing it right now. Although I think TPC would impose certain rules.

1. The game will be exclusive to that market; it won't be released in Japan or internationally.
2. New Pokémon can't be created without TPC's authorization.
3. The story can't interfere with GF canon or use its human characters, so it should be treated as an alternate universe.

Aside from all the existing rules for the franchise, such as avoiding certain themes, being graphically explicit, and staying in the right tone for all audiences.

*And by doing, I mean lending the license rights to a Chinese company to make the game and TPC taking a hefty commission from sales of the game and derived merchandise. It's basically making money without doing anything.
>>
>>58429506
But the CCP isn't even relevant, its region with many historical ties. Pokemon regions aren't real life and wouldn't nor should it reflect the real life version of its inspiration, even if that is what every faggot who needs his lame ass country in Pokemon wants.

Especially when they explicitly state that the king of paldea got the treasures from a faraway region.

It actually already exists. Itll probably need one or two more generations until relations are okay enough to do it

Malaysia, the Muslims there are still in their 90s Christian moms "Pokemon is Satanism" phase
If GF ever base a region on Malaysia (not Gen 10 since that's Indonesia), the Muslims will make a big fucking fuss there and call for boycotts of Nintendo products and ruin things for everyone else there
Literally no upsides to featuring Malaysia in a Pokemon game ever

Israel, Palestine, KSA, both Koreas, any third world country whose biggest claim to fame is some kind of genocide/war/tragedy. I think it’s been long enough that they could do South Africa if they wanted to but I could understand why they wouldn’t touch it
>>
>>58431198
>any third world country whose biggest claim to fame is some kind of genocide/war/tragedy
But that's every country though.
>>
>>58429308
Africa would make a great region to focus on Pokemon as wild animals. Lots of neat geography too. Would probably make for a good Legends Arceus style game.
>>
mexico region next, trust

>>58428397
South America is okay for references, not for actual settings (especially cause japs honestly believe it's 100% jungle).
>>

Ignoring everything else, you can't have ghost-type pokemon PERIOD in a Chinese region.

There’s no Chinese gen because consoles are just not popular China, any other reason is cope, modern Japs are willing to bend over for China for the money
>>
>>58428667

China is only a market for account-based online games which is why they're never making it a mainline region. Get over it Zhang

>people are up in arms about third world regions.
no, they're up in arms about gamefreak saying insane things like "making a game take place in canada would be too controversial cua natives or something" right after doing hawaii
>>
>>58428397
Most of Central America except maybe Mexico if they avoid the cartels
Venezuela
The Caribbean except maybe DR or PR but they're too small to include anyway
All of Africa except maybe the south
All of the Middle East except maybe Egypt (or Israel if (((they))) really want to use the franchise to push their ideals)
China and Korea are possible but it's walking on egg shells

The CCP isn't even relevant here, regardless of people's standing with it. I mean, was the American government relevant to Unova or Alola? Obviously fuckin' NOT.
Most high-education burgers side with China, which implies brainwashing in a different direction.
>>
>>58433512
>-burgers are brainwashed into hating China
>+the ones with high education side with China, doesn't that mean the brainwashing is the other way around?
... no? Are you insane? You are just proving him right you sheep
>>
China is big, so if they ever use it for a game, it will probably only be a specific regon.
So it should be fine as long as they avoid depicting Taiwan, the Paracel Islands, Xinjiang or Tibet.
>>
>>58433879
>China is big
They could also shrink it you know, just like the enlarged Unova.
>>
>>58433746
Education is a vector for brainwashing, so it'd make sense that the higher your education, the more propaganda you got exposed to.
It's silly though because, no... most people in general are indifferent to the CCP.

South Korea is so popular in the media right now I could see them doing it anyways to cash in on that k-pop idol craze. They just have to pretend north doesn't exist lol

most of SEA is not extreme poverty. it has a lot of rising countries that are rapidly developing and have fairly decent standard of living.
>>
>>58434066
>education is indoctrination
No wonder you guys vote for dictators holy shit you are raised to be as retarded as possible
>>
>>58434082
I didn't say it was PROOF that you were indoctrinated. I said it was a vector. You can be educated and not brainwashed, but you are absolutely exposed to propaganda in school and to claim otherwise is why Western Europe is ruled by a bunch of cunts who only take and do not give.

I've never set foot anywhere near Brazil but I'd like to see that part of the world being utilized. You could create a very distinct region based on the Amazon and the surrounding area. The giant river cutting across almost the entire thing would be the center of the map, with pokemon based on piranhas and other tropical fresh water fish and reptiles. To the east you have mountains and plains like in Peru, with pokemon inspired by Incan culture and llamas/alpacas. To the north is a coastal area with a small archipelago based on Barbados and the other islands in the atoll, with tropical fish and bird pokemon. To the west you have large urban areas based on Rio and the like, with dark type pokemon inspired by things such as samba, football and butt lifts. To the south there's nothing but jungle filled with ancient ruins and tribal villages whose inhabitants train rare poison dart frog pokemon.

We can tell you are brown and poor, that's why you want that shithole. No offense.

I'm more or less the opposite of that, being from spurdoland. I like seeing jungle and desert environments because they contrast with the coniferous forest and snow that I'm used to.

Hitler is ancient history by this point. A decade or more and the first thing that will come to mind when Deutschland is mentioned is technology, beer and bad trains.
Then again, Austria is successfully germanized Slavs (why do you think they speak so funny?)

Actually they are germanized celts who were previously slavinized
In the Roman Empire, they were called Noricum and they were not Germanic at all but Celtic.

I dunno about controversial, but anything Slav seemingly is nonexistent to them.
Which is a shame. I'd like to see Pokemon Poland (Bibarel kurwa!!!), Pokemon Bulgaria (like Russia, but without schizo commies in power) or Pokemon Ukraine (aside from the war, they have more lore than any other Slav country, save for Poland or Russia, also you can take the prime minister by the balls).

Did the truth finally catch up? I always saw people think the trains are great and punctual in Germany. Which might be the most inaccurate stereotype of all time.
>>
>>58437889
Germans are by nature slackers. The strick Deutsch stereotype existed only because the US fucked them so hard they couldn't sit down (the Soviets did the opposite - East Germany is such a fucking shithole compared even to Slovakia).
I guess we can thank Ukrorefugees for exposing this shit to the world.

I'd be pretty annoyed too. In fact, I AM annoyed. Tensions between Japan and Korea are solely for the elderly at this point. They prioritized changing that over making a good fucking game.
