First step is what would be the most likely candidate for the next mainline generation to be based on?
As a dingo myself, I've always been hopeful for an Aus-themed region. But that doesn't mean one's coming any time soon.
Africa
Western Us could work. Image giving us regional version of Cacnea line, or even a brand new cactus pokemon. We can never have too many cactus pokemon.
I think Mexico or an overall arid/desert theme could work well.
Technically we have one in Orre from Pokemon Collesseum.
Only group of people more racist than Italians are Japanese. Probably won't happen. If they're going outside Japan, I think the smart money would be on either a Spanish analogue or Latin American analogue (only based on the resorts, of course).
Excuse me? Are we ignoring Iris and Lenora? Or even the most recent character Peony?
Dropping a couple tokens into B/W to point out that where you're at is the US or UK is one thing, making a whole region based on Africa isn't going to happen. Favorite thing about Pokemon Black will always be one of the Sports Dome trainers was a black basketball player who used a Bouffalant. It was amazing.
My point is that if they were racist, they wouldn't have made black characters in the first place (much less ones as story significant as Iris and Peony). It's not like Japan cares that much about public opinion outside of it's home country.
Good point. There aren't any that come to mind for me.
Hot air balloon with telescopes is also an option.
Anyplace from Central or South America I think would be really cool, especially when it comes to the region's lore. A rain forest route/dungeon could look gorgeous if done right.
Just as long as it isn't Europe as between Galar and Kalos they keep fucking it up
Based Brazil Region when
Did somebody order some statistics?
Are Iris and Peony even black? I always thought they were the Pokemon world equivalent of Indian. Same with Raihan and Rose,
As someone who’s okay with the chibi style, I see three camps
It’s also worth noting that the TCG occasionally has cards that can prevent attacks from damaging Benched Pokemon.Or in TCG for that matter.
My cards can put a kid through college but they can't beat a basic form printed last year.
I saw a Dark Raichu deck that I want to try though. It looked like it might be competitive against newer decks what with blowing up your opponent's bench and all that. The newer cards are nuts though. They have more health and do more damage with less energy required. Can't compete with that.
