Why they stop making the games take place in Japan?
>>59384555Globalism.
jews
>>59384555They should make one in Okinawa. I want more Lt. Surge!
>>59384555Because the lead devs get to go to the locations they base the regions off of for "Research"It's basically a company funded vacation for them.By now a domestic vacation doesn't have the novelty for them
There's only so much they can cover, they'd have to take that plunge sooner or later.
>>59384555With Japan you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. Going to different ones like France or Hawaii is way more interesting for a new game than just the same shit.
You've got Hiroshima or Sendai (Fukushima) left in mainland Japan that there could reasonably be something slotted in.
>>59384555The world is a big place, from their POV is probably easier to get ideas for new games basing it off different countries.
>>59384681Yeah there's the feel that they could still do 1 more, but maybe they're getting their fill of "japanese regions" with remakes and Legends games, also the official MMO game isn't supposed to cover the japanese regions? (gen 1-4)
>>59384555Notice how the games got worse when they stopped taking place in Japan.
>>59384645There are people to this day that still don't know that Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh are all based on Japan. I get more of a same shit feeling with Hoenn and Alola than I do with Hoenn and Sinnoh or Hoenn and Kanto.
>>59384723Honestly in-game Hoenn doesn't even feel that tropical outside of the ocean routes, and maybe the iconic routes from Mauville > Fortree > Lilycove.
>first game away from Japan is America based region>it’s mostly panned and has the lowest sales of the franchiseReally makes you think
>>59384555>Why they stop making the games take place in Japan?The Japanese audience likes the exotic background of other countries (which is reflected by the fact that gens 5-10 take place in countries that Japanese people want / like to visit). If Gamefreak wants to make a game that takes place in a Japanese setting then they can just make another Legends game or DLC.
>>59384791Hawaii is America. SM did fine.

They should have the balls of making a region in the middle east or africa. India would be hilarious too.
>>59384791gen3 had low sales too maybe thats why they moved on from japan
>>59384623Ubisoft started this dev trend with Assassin's Creed btw.Dead Space was the funniest example. They went to slaughterhouses for "research"
>>59384721This wouldn't have mattered. See: every other enshittified franchise.
>>59384791Dont be mean to the GOAT like that
>>59384623Trvke. I'm honestly surprised they're doing an Indonesia region before like Italy or Brazil because of this
>>59385773Brazil is a meme brown people try to claim is actually really really important to Japanese people and I'm unsurprised they went to SEA before suden americano, given SEA IS in their immediate vicinity and has been recognised by the devs and franchise as an overall whole since the 2000's. I don't doubt they will eventually base a game in every country in the world, I just doubt I'll see games in regions /vp/ claims not only should be made, but should have been made at this stage of the series' existence. The market there will always be small and niche compared to the combined 700-800m-ish people in the US/EU markets.
>>59385773Indonesia is a popular Japanese tourist destination and the country has a somewhat positive relationship with Japan. >ItalyThey already made 2 European regions in a row, so it makes sense that they're not doing a 3rd.>BrazilJapan has a bad history with Brazil, so it probably why we're not going there anytime soon.
>>59386134>Japan has a bad history with BrazilHow? It has the biggest Japanese population outside of Japan
>>59386170You know how Japan has population issues. Well, they tried getting a bunch of Brazilian-Japanese to immigrate back to Japan as one of their first attempts at a solution. It turned out these people had pretty much became entirely Latin American in temperament, and were very loud, rude, and criminal, so such attempts ceased.
>>59386188LMFAO imagine trying to import those mutts into your homogeneous country. What cucks.
>>59384555There is very little left they could do from JapanThe Pokemon world becomes more interesting when you go around the worldBesides, if they never left Japan you would be complaining about that instead
>>59384555They were never set there
