How come it never became a region? They jumped straight to overseas
>>59086862No one lives there
>>59086862a youtube thumbnail told me no one lives there so it's probably true
>>59086925>population 3.8Mno one lives there
The Chiaki Kuriyama J-Horror set there was pretty cool
>>59086862God of Ishizuchi protects it from hustle and bustle of materialist bugmen and greedy foreigners
>>59086862There's only trees and old people there
>>59086862It's gonna be a mini-region like Kitakami
>>59086862The easternmost part of the island was featured in Johto, with the Naruto whirpools being the inspo for the whirl islands.I do think it'd be cool for this place to become a full region though.
>>59087012pretty much only the safari zone and I guess cianwood though. would be trivial to just ignore it and have the map not be exactly like irl with johto having an extra island (which I mean, they already do lol)
>>59087012Really, Johto is kinda it. It's physically next door to Kanto, sure, but everything about it is kinda right
>>59087613nah johto is culturally relevant to the location it's based on irl, they could definitely make shikoku independent
Do you think Japanese people complain about how they never got their own pokemon regions
>>59086862This is the closest we got to it.
>>59089070probably not considering they're all so domesticated that complaining about companies is illegal
>>59086914>>59086925>it's less populated than HokkaidoHuh, interesting. I guess it's too mountainous and rural.
>>59086928to be fair for Japanese standards that's basically countryside
I have thought that it'd be nice if GF revisted Japan and adapted the regions of Japan they hadn't covered.
>>59087012I see no reason why Nintendo can’t make a region based of a real world location that was already partly covered by a previous gen/gens. Just don’t have the map in the overlapping areas be exactly the same and insert parallels to different real world landmarks. They can just leave it ambiguous as to where it is in relation to other regions since that’s not actually an important detail in the grand scheme of things. Or just say it’s far away. It’s not like they haven’t done that before.
>>59089176>Coruscant. The entire planet is one big city.
They don't need to turn it into a full region, just expand the Cianwood area for Project Seed. Same for Kitakami and Sinjoh Ruins.
