We all know the way the games express distances is an abstraction, and that the regions are roughly located where their irl counterparts are (see the Seed map) but how big do you think each region is compared the real thing? Because trying to scale them based on their counterparts has some funny implications (ie: BW and B2W2 minuscule maps)
>>58789698>unova being the smallest of all regionyep. it even reflect in the gameplay
>>58789698It would be more accurate for Unova to be the size of the entire state of New York.
>>58789719>third world shitskin ESL hates the best genlike pottery
>>58789764>>58789773>sperm and bort fighting for the second last place again
>>58789759It's clearly not the entire state tho
>>58789698CHADlos really carrys poodea and gaylard…
>>58789796Anon... Kalos is smaller than Paldea. Remember they cut south south Kalos entirely, so it's not as big as the actual France
>>58789698>(ie: BW and B2W2 minuscule maps)unova is more of a "tour of america" than it is "new york" and that'll be reflected in any future games as well. I'd probably just make it roughly the size of Kalos, maybe a bit smaller, and be done with it.
>>58789787>Unova is roughly as big as Lumioselmao
>>58789830>plza was the true bw revisit all along
>>58789698>see the Seed mapWhat's that?
>>58789823I don't think making New York an american theme park means it actually covers a massive amount of land, it's just "convenient luck" that the only burger region we visit has the typical burger stuff so we feel like we've seen the rest of the country despite never leaving New YorkNo I'm not gonna consider Alola part of the US and you know why
>>58789886cope brownie. your region belong to us
>>58789892>transfats eater thinks I'm hawaiianNo, my obese friend, I just acknowledge the massive cultural differences, so did GF. France and UK have more in common than the US and Hawaii, so obviously no talk about burger culture affects Alola
>>58789698where did that image for ww come from?
>>58790206Teraleak, someone digged it recently and published it for Christmas along a few other things
>>58789906There are major cultural differences within the lower 48, retard.
>>58790243>majorkek
>>58789698Imagine a champion meeting and seeing the fucking loser whose title applies to just Unova >Oh so you are the champion of France and you two are champions of the whole iberian peninsula? Nice to meet you! Oh no I'm not the champion of some japanese prefecture I'm new york's champ!
>>58790253Yes? It's currently more mixed than most european nations but it's not much different from something like austria-hungary pre-breakup: dozens of specific isolate populations that are disregarded by the government often speaking different languages or at minimum extremely different dialects (to the point that until the 90's introducing the internet and a new wave of panamericanism there was significant difficulty in anyone even understanding locals if they travel too far away and avoid a central city), and there are a variety of religious differences, as well as both historical and modern genetic drift. If you had an educated european man from the 1200's travel across the modern US, he would think it to be dozens of independent nations. I mean hell, most of europe used to have significant "pan-european" cultures as well; one of the reasons germany has always been so domineering historically is because there used to be germans, ethnic germans, EVERYWHERE in europe, spain, france, italy, scandinavia, the balkans, even up into ukraine, poland, russia. Is that really so different to what we have now in the US with a specific "ethnolinguistic group" (gentrified "americans").
Indonesia is fuck huge, and they still slap Malaysia and small part of Australia onto Gaia's region for some goddamn reason
>>58789698>>58791319What exactly a Pokemon's region anyway? Is it just Pokeworld equivalent of a country? Because this imply that Gaia is a superpower by size alone
>>58791212Seething amerimutt
>>58791319You’re doing that black kid with a glass of water thing bro…
>>58791326 jurisdiction of having their own separated league, I think.But then Johto is a special case.
>>58791875?
>>58791212>It's currently more mixed than most european nationsMy fucking sides
>>58791326Ah yes just like latin american countries are superpowers compared to the latin european ones huh?
>>58792085Don't try to gotcha me you fag, all Pokemon's region have similar wealth status to each other with no rampant poverty and violent crimes and shit
>>58791212>unovabort thinks immigrants means the country actually speaks multiples languagesMeanwhile my country has four co-official languages and the bakery I get sweets from is older and has more history than you guys that speak bastardized english and barely can order a taco in spanish lmao
>>58792124>all Pokemon's region have similar wealth statusLiteral headcanon and specially funny considering Z-A (and XY) heavy themes on poverty and homelessness.
>>58792136>only mentioned here and there >we barely seen ityeah nah, that's like saying tokyo has rampant hobo problem
>>58792140>we don't see it a lot so it doesn't exist despite being the only region where it's mentioned every once in a while and all regions magically have the same wealth somehowNah
>>58789830That's in essence downtown Paris thoughbeit
>>58789698I'm getting botw vibes from that map
>>58792258Did you enjoy boss baby?
>>58792133cajuns as a quick and easy exampleyou saying "hurr durr whatever example you bring up doesn't count!!! we have MORE history so that means yours doesn't matter at all!!!!!!" does not pass mustercompare it to the balkans like I offered up and you'll see a much more meaningful comparison. There are some people that claim most balkanites speak the same language even, (mostly ex-yugoslav areas) lmao
>>58792064well yeah there's a significant lack of isolation in large swathes of the nation. It'd be like having nothing but english speakers in most of france, spain, germany, and italy, etc, but you wouldn't deny that italians, french people, germans, etc exist, right? Same goes for the US, they're just not legitimized in the current zeitgeist, between a combination of them being younger and less distinct, for the most part.
>>58792701My hope is that we have more freedom in this one like botw more ways to tackle situations.
>>58792726It looks like Paldea with a shitton of water that will be boring to traverse, honestly
>>58793608I doubt they let the sea to be fully traversable, especially since the rumor says that they scrapped the procedural island generation
>>58791326>Is it just Pokeworld equivalent of a country?No, countries are mentioned multiple times as a separate thing.
>>58793645Did they really scrap it? The concept sounded exactly the same as the wormholes in the ZA dlc.
>>58793652Where? I'm curious
>>58793690Lt surge is the lightning American Mew was found in GuyanaThat said the series has been soft rebooting real locations
>>58793645>>58793664There's no "rumor" about that being scrapped
>>58793645Scrapping the procedural generated islands doesn't point to limiting sea traversal, though. All it means is that unless they want the sea to be empty as shit (and we know they're more than okay with empty worlds), they'll have to handcraft or copy paste island templates to fill the void.>>58792726There could be freedom as to how we approach completing tasks, but I don't think we'll be getting the full botw treatment, more like Wind Waker with a dash of botw, given that the leaks indicated that we could essentially just jump straight to the final boss to get to the end credits (if true, the speedruns will be so boring)
>>58793706Oh that old ass tidbit
>>58793740Procedural generated islands were only found very early in Gaia's development, and it's conspicuously absent in these recent leaksMore than likely that was an idea they thought up in a brainstorming session that they quickly scrap in pre-alpha status
>>58793935>extremely barebones information doesn't include everything we know it should have therefore it was scrapped!So gyms, trials, the seed pokemon, the hotel, the rival and everything we haven't seen this week was scrapped huh? Or is it only the parts you don't want to accept they are being added? Or are you genuinely so stupid you think the procedural islands would be in the map and think not appearing here means they got cut?
>>58794015>So gyms, trials, the seed pokemon, the hotel, the rival and everything we haven't seen this week was scrapped huh?Stop putting shit in my mouth, lil broThese current leaks are revolved around battle mechanic and early screenshot of various places in the region. Procedural generation should be notable enough that we can sniff its existence from these recent leaks, and yet we dont
