As someone who’s okay with the chibi style, I see three camps
- People who just wanted SwSh style but with better textures
- People who feel that the cool scenes in Sinnoh will be downplayed by the chibi graphics
- People who think the proportions are too far off, mostly regarding the hands.

Did somebody order some statistics?


This chart is a list of places where Japanese people want to go to, not quite where they actually have been, but it's good enough for our purposes - arguably better, as it doesn't take pricing into account. it's more than 100% because people can be interested in multiple places.

That's not the whole list, just every place with more than 10% of the population. The notable parts are:
  • All four non-japan regions are in the top 6 locations they want to be, which supports Dunsparce's theory. The exceptions are Italy and Australia (yesssssss).
  • The remainder of the top ten, and everything with more than 15% interest, is Germany, Guam, Taiwan and West Coast USA. We might get some unironically based regions eventually.
  • Canada barely makes it over 10%.
  • The chart doesn't list a single location in Africa.

As a frequenter of the VTuber thread I love that Taiwan makes the list and mainland China doesn't.
Get fucked bugmen.

I fall into that 3rd camp mainly. I would've loved an improved SwSh style graphics game in Sinnoh, but I'm not disappointed in the chibi/authentic to form style.
I just don't like the feet and hand proportions being so out of whack, it's very weird, but it's something I can live with because it still keeps a lot of the original personality.
 
Like I said earlier, a region based on Australia could be cool if they worked in stuff from Aboriginal mythology and stuff. Aborigines are rather sensitive about their culture so they'd have to be careful with it, but whatever

It's pretty good. Drops their defense by 2, leaving them open to an especially painful sucker punch.

I hate this fucking fursuit, yet I hunted a shiny one before Isle of Armor because the colors remind me of Porygon. I like how the original Linoone still has the niche of Belly Drum and Extreme Speed.
 
South American jungle theme when? I wanna explore ancient ruins and lush, dense jungles. Such a biologically diverse setting should lend itself well to the creation of new, unique designs. Personally I'd like to see a river dolphin, peacock, and more carnivorous plants. You could throw in some mew lore for the gen-1 fans too.

Runner-up choices would be Aus and Africa.
 
Australia's popular with Japanese tourists because it's relatively close to them, so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a region based on Australia sooner or later.

The sad thing is, something like the Wild Area would've made a hell of a lot more sense in a region based on Australia rather than the UK. Australia's a huge wilderness with cities dotted round the outside. The UK's a small island with the odd expanse of green. A Wild Area based on the outback would've been awesome.

The Jungle theme would be cool too because of all the stuff about Mew being found in the jungle in the Pokemon Mansion. Gen 1 baiting about my favorite Pokemon? Yes please.

The man is certainly right about this. Gen V was very well done, and that's not just Stockholm Syndrome from saving me from D/P and revitalized my interest in the franchise. The only real complaints I have about it is the Gym Leaders and Elite Four weren't that memorable and the map was boring. Also, people were fine with Grimer and Magnemite but lost their shit over ice cream and trash. Never mind ice cream was a huge cultural thing in the US since it came over. Plus the cone itself was likely created in New York, which Unova was based on.

despite my disagreements with on certain things, I will say Emile is one of the the few Ecelebs whose opinions I will treat with respect just for the amount of effort he puts into his shit mother fucker makes his lets plays not just enjoyable but informative

Chuggaconroy is what let's plays are supposed to be.
 
The real problem Unova has is how linear the map is, but even then, the routes offer wide exploration for you to come back later to, like the optional sea route off of the first route
I also like how there is a designed 'well trod' route through the world that you can stick to for the quickest and safest way through, helps make it feel more alive

Yeah I agree, I'm amazed that after all these years he still has that passion for his work. It definitely helps too that he doesn't do any of that whiny political sperging that has caused a bunch of SA let's players to become insufferable. Hell, as far as I can tell the whole Runaway guys friend group is pretty chill, which I appreciate in times such as these.
