Region Speculation/Discussion Thread

[y1y]

If it is based on Europe, I would love to see Iceland incorporated into it somehow. Imagine taking a boat to a city with northern lights at nighttime, with buildings like those of small Icelandic towns, and an abundance of interesting new ice and water types. Just an idea.

I'm cool with it being based off of France, but I'm a bit sad. Ive secretly hoped that they'd make a region based off of Mexico/Central America.

[Bolt the Cat]

This seems like it could be a desert-like place (Serebii even captioned it as a desert).

Going purely off of logic and not the geography of what we've seen, I feel like this region will be based off of Europe as a whole and not just France. I see no reason why they would have randomly chosen France to make an entire region out of - the Japanese islands makes sense because the series is Japanese based, New York makes sense because of how many American players they are (and I guess because Nintendo World is there), but setting a game in France seems kind of random. If it were all of Europe, that would make more logical sense and would allow for a lot more diversity.

Isn't that based on some observatory in France, though?

Oh my god, that sounds beautiful o.o

>i want it

Ideally we'll probably get art, species, typing and names for the 5 dudes
and hopefully art for the players

but I'm not holding my breath for the region proper until February. I instead expect a lot of "^ EHHHH IS THAT A TOWER?!?!?" "UNPRECEDENTED 3D VIEWPOINT!!!!!"

Oh gosh, I can totally imagine that in a Japanese ad: "UNPRESSEDEN SURIIII DEEE VYEEEW POYN!!! EXTRUREEEMU!"

LLLOOOOL *wipes tear* Oh man, that's so racist.

[scorpio66]

I hope the region will look asthetically different and have different areas again depending on which version you buy, as per Black and White, I much preferred the urban futuristic feel of black compared to whites naturalistic vibe!

I laughed but I didn't want to xD

I hope the region's huge enough, I want it non-linear.

Quick Gamefreak. Read the The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I'm sure they may be reading one by now since Gen 6 is ALL ABOUT EUROPE / FRANCE! Eiffel tower wants a word.

Will we ever encounter a Pokemon version of the Louvre Museum (the glass diamond giant museum?)?

Or the Poke-version of the Saint Sulpice church (yeah. more European religion references poke-style)?

How about Rosslyn Chapel as a gym?

I think I can make a wild trump card of what the elite 4 building. ROME COLLISEUM! And it will have a friendly reference that millions of humans and pokemon/animals battled and DIED FOR ENTERTAINMENT, according to poke-history and real life history.

I hope they give reference to Italy where there are tons of food items that you can buy ranging from cheap ones to the EXPENSIVE PASTAS AND PIZZAS (both latters are the key meals of Italy)

Oh, I'd love that. Maybe it could be some special hidden area unaccessible until defeating the E4, and you can find a Legendary Pokémon there? Seems fitting enough.

Is it bad that I burst out laughing at this?

[sparkedglory]

Since this is France I will be very disappointed if there is no snail pokemon.

[Endolise]

There's the Pic du Midi de Bigorre, seen here, and honestly, it does carry a resemblance to the observatory seen in the game.

Since we already have the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees, I wonder if we'll get things like the Arc de Triomphe and the Tour de Montparnasse. The Louvre could be another cool addition, as jireh the provider suggested.

I'll admit, I laughed.

thnx, those doms are an excat fit !
Also, am fully expecting a pokemon themed arc de triomphe.

Please, everyone. If this new region would completely be based on the entire continent of Europe, it would just be overwhelming, and not every country and culture will get it's moment to fully shine... It'd just a conglomerated mess and I doubt Game Freak would do that... I figure it's just France, possibly a neighboring country or countries will be included, like Spain, Germany, Belgium, part of the U.K., etc. The English Channel and/or the Bay of Biscay or the Balearic will make nice bodies of water. I am actually excited as Game Freak and Nintendo might even continue this new "tradition" of making nations and countries into regions... Unova was some on the United States, Gen 6's region is France... What might the next Gen's be? Australia? Other parts of Europe, North or South America? Africa or Asia perhaps? (besides Japan one would guess.)

[artesox]

well, new york had a big desert as Unova, I don't see why france can't have one too

I agree with you. Gen 6 is wholly based on france only. I think the next might be german or Australia ( if it is oz then I want a kangaskhan pre-evo, it is ozzy after all )

well, new york had a big desert as Unova, I don't see why france can't have one too

some people say that was supposed to be ground zero, dunno rumors i guess.

[Will-powered Spriter]

Wait, if the bicycle is replaced with rollerskates, and the region is france, then how are we meant to pretend we're in the tour de france?

This is a major oversight, gamefreak.

[treuko]

The closest thing from the pic there is in France is this in the South-West:





It doesn't really fit though, so I think that it is either a location based on something else in Europe, either something invented by the devs (like the desert in Unova, the one in Hoenn, and a lot of other things).

A Colusseum as the Pokémon League location? WANT!! Sounds like an amazing idea.

I think this region is another far away one, gathering from that route 3 sign. I hope im wrong, coz i really want to see a previous gen in this, especially in 3D !
