To no one surprise, they are still making a new return to Kanto (and other classic regions) for the 30th anniversary gen.
>>59247423>the all-regions poke-MMO boomers have been asking begging for decadesdoubt
>>59247423I'll never understand why they don't make a new Japan based region, like there's still so much of Japan left to explore.
>>59247423the only pokemon game worth looking forward to
>>59247442We just had Kitakami.
>>59247423they lowkey are from and located in that region to be fair anon-kun
>kantoNo strong feelings>only kantomons to start out withWould be very pissed
>>59247447not canon
>>59247476retard
>>59247442Shikoku is mostly empty. Though granted, not as much as Hokkaido. I personally mostly just want everything north of Kanto and Johto. Tohuku and Chugoku have potential but also are pretty one note.
>>59247423is it developed by game freak? huge dealbreaker here
Seed's been cancelled, replaced with Karasu.Can you pay attention to the series scuttlebutt? Makes you look less of an autistic retarded cunt.
>>59247423i wonder if it will be a complete reimagining of old regions with an organic terrain or lazy reskins like let's go and bdshitpiss
>>59247490How about Chubu? There isn't any representation of this region too.
>>59247423Since so much of Japan is missing I'm guessing it won't be seamless aside from Kanto and Johto.>>59247540The tera leak docs mention it's supposed to be fully reimagined in up to scale 3D.
>>59247442It's too late for that. Even if they returned to Japan, it would hit differently. These regions worked best in the 2D era (gen 1-4). I'm afraid flanderized international regions is all we have now.
>>59247531Khu confirmed that both Legends 3 and Seed are under development. Karasu is merely a change of project name.
>>59247571>Chubu?Already partially covered by Johto. As for the rest, honestly feel it would fall pray to Kanto wank.
>>59247596Yeah that's true, I do feel like they should stop making regions on real world locations if they are just gonna turn them into the same boring shit, it'd be much more interesting if they went more in on the Gen I-VI style of having locations related to the legendary Poke on but fully exoanded that to the region, Alola kinda seemed like a half assed attempt at that but I think if they tried building a region around its Pokemon and internal mythology instead of trying to slap real world shit into Pokemon (and yeah I'm sure there's stuff in Gens I-IV that were largely based on a specific real world structure but it's not as blatant and well known as Lumiose's Eiffel Tower variant).
>>59247423I would love this, though Pokopia is already a good new return to Kanto.
>>59247531I thought it went, Winds and Waves DLC, Ringo (Legends 3) and whatever Karasu is
>>59247442Probably because it would be roughly the same shit as other japanese regions? Better to explore other cultures.
>>59247476>mainline games aren't canon
>>59247531Karasu is the WW DLC, retard, when will you stop coping? You have been seething and swearing Seed will cancelled ever since it was leaked, when will you learn, cuck?
>>59247605>(and yeah I'm sure there's stuff in Gens I-IV that were largely based on a specific real world structure but it's not as blatant and well known as Lumiose's Eiffel Tower variant).Yeah, because despite their closer familiarity with those regions, most of the devs were more than likely metropolitans with little actual venture into those locations so any real world reference in the games were likely subtler and more careful with their depictions to avoid alienating the demographic there (since they give a bigger shit about offending the Japanese audience than the international one). On that note, Kanto ironically remains one of the least accurate depiction to its real world counterpart to this day, likely because of being held back by nostalgia. Saffron City is based on Tokyo (or specific wards of it), yet its depiction doesn't even come close to accurately depicting as a bustling city. It reaches the point where Kanto ends up ironically looking as one of the simpler/rural regions in Pokémon, which got by later depictions of the region that made it look more rural than originally portrayed in RBY.It also created an awkward situation where entire nations (France, UK, Spain, Indonesia) are scaled down to Japanese regions in-universe and mechanically, but that one was pretty much unavoidable. Alola/Unova are slightly more accurate depictions in-scale.
>>59247703which got exacerbated by later depictions*
>>59247620Karasu IS the name of the next project after Gaia. Gaia is WW, Karasu is the DLC.>Sudachi: Hidden Treasure of Zero>Ikakku: Z-A>Sankaku: M-Dimension Rush>Gaia: WW>Karasu: Unnamed DLC for WW>Ringo: LEGENDS 3>Seed: Japan
>>59247457>kantolame>kanto only mons to startB A S E D
>>59247703>Alola/Unova are slightly more accurate depictions in-scalethankfully Orre set the standard for US states as regions long ago.
>>59247486>>59247680games with multiverse bullshit and gimmicks are not canon
>>59247490Isn’t Sinnoh just Hokkaido anyway?
>>59247736You still have the case where people conflate the US with Unova but that one seems to be more of a fanbase headcanon than official.
>>59247598>khuHasn't been relevant since Indigo Disk pre-release. Seed was supposed to start this year (february actually), there's been no hint of it, beyond the two desperate attention-seekers sperging about it. The fact the three replies to me each say Karasu's something completely different to the other shows you're all still guessing. Seed's not being handled by Game Freak, which makes me think it's either another Game Freak spin off with the gruntwork developed by an outside studio, or it's dead in the water because of issues exploring the project and the knowledge it would be an "expected" announcement.
>>59247423so it's made by torrent freak then?
>>59247743You are a brown and retarded, anon, it's about time you accept it.
>>59247423>The only representation of Shikoku in the entire franchise is Cianwood CityShikokubros…
And it will still be nugen slop
>>59247605>>59247703They will never undo the stain of incorporating real world fucking language into the Pokemon regions that are "loosely based!" on countries. Why the FUCK are PALDEAN people speaking SPANGLISH to me in a fucking POKEMON GAME???
>>59247423Kanto is boring as shit and I say this as Red player
>>59247423This shit is either going to be vaporware or so awful it makes XIV 1.0 look good. There is a 0% chance of a Nintendo and Game Freak MMO being good.
>>59247743>all gens with at least 2 games are non-canon aka literally all of themShut up retard autist
>>59247423Why there was never a region based on Aomori and Iwate?
>>59247423formerly suck
>>59247743So no game is canon? You can only battle and trade with alternate versions of yourself in Pokemon Red and Green.
>>59247808>Why the FUCK are PALDEAN people speaking SPANGLISH to me in a fucking POKEMON GAME???Maybe that's a localization problem? I think they may have done something similar with Lt. Surge in Japanese. He definitely looks like the stereotypical depiction of gaijins in some of his artworks. He's probably depicted as speaking in engrish for all we know (he definitely is in the anime)
>>59247808>why is NoA retarded
>>59248553NoA has nothing to do with this, this is a TPCi problem and has been since Gen 5.
For the record, the way japanese refer to games as MMOs isn't like ours. SV is an MMO by them too, technically, since it has an open world with quests you can do solo, but others can be done online, connecting to players visible in the same map.Pic related is literally from WW documments, it's also an MMO, because with that open world they are clearly gonna let you have the same cooperative multiplayer from SV, if not expanded. "Pokémon Seed" being an MMO doesn't it's gonna be like FFXIV or WoW, it means you can have dumb fun with friends like in SV's online.
>>59248530And this is why all the kanto war theories are bullshit. The sole character to mention any war in the games is a foreigner.
>>59248573He's just a LARPer nowadays too, there is no more war lore that wasn't 3000 years ago and his nationality is now completely irrelevant to his character.
>>59248560>NoA has nothing to do with the NoA localization being retarded
>>59248587Nintendo of America has not touched Pokemon's localization since Generation 4, and the "other languages randomly mixing into the game's native language" issue did not exist because Pokemon hadn't started doing Non-Japan regions until Gen 5.The Pokemon Company International, who is not Nintendo of America, completely took over localization after Gen 4.
>>59248573Yup. Part of the problem with that theory is that it assumes that Kanto and/or the traditional gen 1-4 regions are/were supposed to be nations, which they aren't. That's why the complete Pokédex was originally termed as the "National" Pokédex in GSC. Surge is either a Vietnam or Gulf War veteran.
>>59247753>Seed was supposed to start this year (february actually), there's been no hint of itBasically everything was delayed thanks to the Switch 2's delay>Seed's not being handled by Game Freak,Zero evidence of that based on the slides. The only remote evidence is that it's on the line between Game Freak projects and projects by their partners (Home, Pokopia, Champions). And even then if you actually look at the chart there's a slightly bigger space below SeedSeed seems like it's the most likely thing to be canceled, but your supposed evidence makes zero logical sense.>>59248572Seed's pitch never said it was an MMO at all actually
>>59248572That makes sense. An MMO would go beyond GF's traditional formula and would require constant maintenance/updates that would overscope GF's capacity.
>▼Main Island: School>■Role>- Procedures for the upcoming open world.>- Presentation of goals.>- From here, the goals split into three, making it an MMO.>■Synopsis>- Arrive at the port of e02.>- Here, you meet and become friends with B, a university student.>- Go to e03 (university) with A-chan and B-kun.>- ~>- Arrive at e03.>- The protagonist, A-chan, is introduced as a transfer student.>- C-kun only exchanges greetings.>- However, summer vacation will soon begin. Starting in August, you will begin dorm life with your friends.>- There are various goals, any of which you can pursue. The eternal summer vacation begins.This is from SV, also an MMO according to Game Freak. Seed will be fine.
>>59248614Seed's whole purpose for existing is to shut up remakefags simply because Legends games didn't do that already, a bulk drop of multi-region fuckery from older titles that doesn't have to actually do anything too striking to those regions since it's just a marathon of basic oldies.
>>59248596>That's why the complete Pokédex was originally termed as the "National" PokédexIsn't it still called that? Implying a one world goverment.
>new game with CynthiaBASED
>>59248622Yeah but it's just done out of tradition at this point. It's kind of become a frankenstein mess in-universe or just a meta mechanic.
>>59248600Anon, whatever the scope of Seed was supposed to be, it was ALSO something Game Freak had no experience with. And given the last time they had a pokémon-centric idea for a world builder game, they roped in a studio actually keyed to making such games, it's no great stretch to assume they roped in another studio (or the same as Pokopia with a different remit) after doing their pre-production setting work, the way they established a wasteland kanto with humans chilling in space until Ditto and the 'mons revitalise the place enough for them to return before passing it off for someone to build their pokémon-centric builders game. We know what's currently in production over there. Seed's not one of them, but Ringo and Karasu are, along with delayed Gaia and its inevitable DLC pack (though I'm not sure it's actually in production yet, even going by non-delay timeline, they were still projecting 2nd half of this year to start it)
>>59248638It's weird though since Scarlet and Violet implies places like Paldea, Galar, and Kalos are a single government.
>>59247447could Kitakami be a fully blown region rather just a single place? I wish gen XII would return to Japan.
>>59248635>Cynthia shows up>Gets a canon boyfriend
>pasio was based on Italy and had to change the region due to them possibly exploring it in the future.
>>59248665yeah me
>>59248654So do you have any reliable information with documentation from Game Freak, or is it just some cunt on twitter who said so? If it's the latter, sorry if I have a hard time believing anything supposed leakers have to say. As it stands it's Schrodinger's project, it's canceled before it got anywhere or it's still in production.
>>59248660>It's weird though since Scarlet and Violet implies places like Paldea, Galar, and Kalos are a single government.EU on steroids
>>59248684I like the implication that it's actually a version of the Hapsburgs universal monarchy that worked.
>>59248680It's been 18 months since Teraleak lad. We've had confirmation of in-production titles still happening AND of new projects being started up, but nothing of Seed. You can hold onto your delusions, cold reality states 18 months is more than AMPLE time for the project to get cancelled, before it came time to start spending a production budget on it.
>>59248680Oh and remember, L: Z-A started off set in Johto. before it wasn't and they changed the whole focus of the game, region and plot. Karasu may have been Seed once upon a time. But now it's not and they've changed the name to reflect that.
>>59248618that'll be the only good game if done correctlywhat i'm hoping it is:>proper modern day organic terrain reimagining of all the japanese regions, and includes newer regions/areas never seen before>still limits dex to about the same as gens 1-4; could add a dozen more to make it seem like they are the undiscovered mons from the other japanese regions; could also include some gens 5-10 mons as if they're native to the new regions>constant updates and events>could add new regions and new mons as promotions and distributionsi'm assuming they will limit this mmo to poke-japan only, so i don't expect to see anything else
>>59248860>>proper modern day organic terrain reimagining of all the japanese regions, and includes newer regions/areas never seen beforeI really hope Kanto wank gets dropped in favor of giving us a place that actually looks like Tokyo. >>still limits dex to about the same as gens 1-4; could add a dozen more to make it seem like they are the undiscovered mons from the other japanese regions; could also include some gens 5-10 mons as if they're native to the new regionsI mean, no fucking way the likes of Samurott aren't native to Not Japan.
>>59247531Isn't karasu a legends game? Why would they replace one with the other
>>59247808>>59248530It's trannylocalization.For example, Geeta is just called "Toppu" in nip, not LA PRIMERA OSTIA TIO JODER CHAVAL LOBEZNO A TODO GAS.In short, learn to learn Japanese.
>>59247442I still find it crazy that for the 30 anniversary for the first switch 2 game for the nice round number of gen 10 they decided to go for a seanigger region instead of a grand return to Japan.I hate Ohmori and his vacation obsession so fucking much it's unreal.
>>59249431Pokemon just uses Eigo loanwords for the same reason you're bitching about, that's why they named old ass Pokemon basic shit like Sand, Thunders and Koiking. It's not really anymore eloquent in its native language, but also localization has to keep in mind lots of "basic Japanese shit" isn't basic to worldwide audiences so they can't expect every child playing the games to know what the Three Friends of Winter is
>>59247423>online gameover/under on this game being more buggy than Fallout 76 at launch
>>59248737Confirmations like what? Name one project that's been announced that's not on their internal list. And again, not with some shit from twitter, very little of that is legitimate. Like I said, it's probably the most likely thing to be canceled, but there's zero evidence supporting your arguments. I would literally believe you more if you didn't try to back it up with any nonsense, there's an entire other game that's had some development on it that has to be announced before we even know what's going on with Seed.
>>59249437You should suck his dong then, because they do return to Kanto for 30th anniversary. SEA region is for 31st anniversary.
>>59247486newfaga region with no native starters is not a region
>>59247772you're green and newfagged, you can't handle the truth
>>59247896make me newfag racist
>>59249465>Trannycalizer trying to pretend wasei eigo and loanwords is the same thing as trannylocalizers inserting fanfiction because they're failed writers so the best they can do is steal and corrupt and be cancerDishonest cunt.Kill yourself.
>>59249485Karasu son. Which isn't WW DLC as by their own chart, it wasn't supposed to start until middle of this year and isn't Seed, as it was meant to start earlier this year.And "shit from twitter" is more reliable than a snapshot of 2024 continually taken as gospel, when we know from Teraleak itself, sometimes their plans DO change (Legends: Johto getting fucked out for megashit) and the little nigger who stole all that data hasn't re-broken in to steal fresh data and an updated project plan sheet for us to have a goo at. So if we got no scuttlebutt about a project everyone who understood what a project roadmap was knew was "supposed" to start this year and some entirely NEW project name being mentioned as beginning production, odds are they've cancelled it OR Seed was an intended collaboration effort, akin to Pokopia where Game Freak set the scenarios, plan the thing out then some other cunt takes it and turns it into a video game, as Game Freak studios don't seem to be working further on such a project, but we know they didn't develop Pokopia themselves, yet still have IT listed on their project roadmap. If you were a LITTLE bit more intelligent and SLIGHT more adept at lateral thinking and an ability to use several data points to influence your opinions, you'd have understood this. But you're a mildly retarded chimp throwing her shit everywhere because concepts like these may as well be double-Dutch and nuclear physics to you.
>>59247598>Khu confirmedso it's fake, got it
>>59247808it's like Tekken, everyone talks their native language but can understand othershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxFDS5WGW0U
>>59250465Except we know that's wrong. Try playing the fucking games, dumbass.
>>59247720With WW being delayed to 2027 I wonder it the timeline for future releases will be something like>2027: Winds/Waves>2028: WW DLC>2029: Legends Galar>2030: Seed>2031: Gen 11Weird to think we might only get Gen 12 in the 40th anniversary in 2036
>>59248614interesting, the central area here seems to be the thing they explored in the anime with a secret land at high altitude rather than deep underground
>>59248684WAIT WHAT???
