I was not expecting "Great Lakes" to be on this list! I'm a Michigander, and you are spot on with the autumn/winter feel! I would buy a console and a copy of the game if they did that! Michigan alone is a beautiful state!
Wisconsinite here, I totally agree!
plus lets not forget the great lakes many cultural and technological achievments, wouldn't be great if they had two regional forms of revaroom depending on where you catch/ evolve it. one version mimicing a delorian/ studebaker if you catch it in the part of the region thats called michiana, the other mimicking a ford/chrystler if you catch/ evolve closer to the detroit/ windsor area
ooh or a meowth regional form that is orange and has truant as an ability who happens to hunt deep dish pizza rats
I'm a Michigander too! Grand Rapids. Nice to meet you
Brad Keselowski is from Michigan as well.
I want some BotW features to be implemented into future Pokémon games
Italy would be cool, but I think it'd be too similar to paldea to be the very next entry afterwards. I think somewhere cold is more likely
Excellent points on all of these!
I want to see two regions based on both Texas and Egypt
Me personally I want an India based region like there are soma y animals that they could turn into Pokémon and the culture in India is amazing and India has an entire ocean named after it so I think India would be a cool option
I always thought a region at least partially based off of Pangea (the ancient supercontinent) would be really cool, with wild fossil Pokémon everywhere or even maybe the ancient Paradox forms also running around. Maybe there could be some research bases and certain towns that would also have the future Paradox Pokémon to tie them in as well. It could tie in to S/V a bit, like someone perfected the time machine and the premise of the game is that you’re an apprentice researcher who is exploring this ancient land to catalog all the species that lived in the prehistory of Pokémon. Either way, I think it has a strong potential to be able to sustain a very in depth Pokémon game, even if it’s unlikely one will ever take place there (but I’d love at least to explore for myself what a potential Pokémon game based around that would look like).
Like jurassic world?
I’d buy it!
I Think it would Australian for some reason, Idk why, As an Aussie I`d buy it too@@RaptorofRex07
If this interests you, I highly recommend FroopyArt's fan region based on Jurassic Park with a similar story and an entirely ancient dex!! It's incredibly high quality as well as fully voice acted, their current project is the Ho'ax region, Gravity Falls inspired!
I kinda thought of the same thing but reverse of the past ie the future what if neo Pangea or whatever the name of it will be I imagine the Pokémon are all based off speculative evolution and media related to it and even human history and things like sports and the city’s based on different what ifs of the future in fiction either a Utopia or a Dystopian City or nature reclaiming the city and I even though of speculative dlc with the Hollow Earth theory and Mars.
Personally,I would love a Moroccan/Egyptian/Arabian region.
Egyptian would be the best option due to it having Arab, Ancient Egyptian and Greek elements to it.
a Mexico Region would be so so cool, Jungles, Deserts, Volcano, Icy Mountain, Beaches, Rivers, Lakes, Forest, Country side, big cities, Ancient Civilizations, conquered by Paldeans
Quetzals, Xolos, Axolote, Panthern, Prehispanic Gods, La Llorona, etc etc, Maractus, Hawlucha and Ludicolo have been teasing this region for so long!
After going back to my country this holiday. Even though I know for sure it wouldn't happen cuz El Salvador is like it is. But the overall central/Meso American and south American regions would be amazing to explore in game if handled well. There are so many volcanoes and mountains but the way the settlements in these areas have been handled is so unique. Volcano villages. Volcanoes surrounding a lake. A lake on a dormant volcano crater, the beaches. The cities built in these areas! Floating cities, mountain towns and lake towns. All the different indigenous groups living in the areas and coexisting speaking their languages (many outsiders seem to assume its just Spanish or Portuguese spoken in these countries but theres a lot more) the culture as well as all the volcanic activity and tradition could inform so much of the pokemon designs and legendaries.
Kinda sad that most of the time I see vids about where next pokemon should be its either Japan or some European area. When there's so much more out there not just what I focused on this comment but other south east Asian countries, the middle East. Etc.
But I guess sadly a lot of the time these countries aren't depicted in the best of lights.
I'd love to see a region based on Latin/South America! Japan does have connections with some of those countries!
Top Picks:
1. India
2. Brazil
3. Australia
4. South Africa
5. Mexico
I would choose both Brazil and Australia. 🇧🇷🇦🇺
India and Brazil are hinted at in the games and anime. Mew was found in a Brazil like region according to the anime and just look at Copperajah's dex entries; it refers to an India like region.
@@backyardr.c.6280not brazil
Would LOVE South Africa. It’s an English speaking country, it has PENGUINS, mountains, safari, wine lands, great white sharks- it’s an amazing country. Brazil is big on my list as well.
My Top Picks:
China (We need more Asian Regions and literally Arcanine and the treasures of Ruin are Chinese-inspired Pokémon, we've also got panda Pokémon like Pangoro)
India (More Asian Regions and Copperajah is stated to be from another region, most likely India)
Brazil (Need a South American Region)
Egypt (Need an African Region)
Australia (Need an Australian Region, plus Komala is literally a Koala mon)
If you're talking South America, look northward at a country called Guyana-coincidentally the only country there with English as an official language. Mew was reported to be discovered there.
I think most of Asia is off limits due to china north Korea, and other examples.
@@Markcrazeer China should still be somewhat alright, North Korea.....yeah not so much
An evolution for Komala should be based on the Wombat, call it the Womala, Wombala or some like that
@@dylanchua5197 he would Also throw a fit at South Korea. China might work but only if it does feature the Island that is just having a rebellious phase please dont shoot me as part of the region and not anything implying it isnt or is in charge. And there are Also other locations like that.
Personally, my pick near the top is Ireland; Ireland has a lot of unique creatures and its own mythology, lore, and history that the Pokemon franchise really hasn't tapped into yet. The only Pokemon I can really think of with Irish roots is Primurina, and I've heard most of the community associate that Pokemon more with the Greek Sirens than the Irish Selkies. Granted, Ireland's topography doesn't seem to be as diverse as most of the other regions we've seen up until now, but Irish culture actually does give us a bit of an out on that front; you just need to know where to look. And it's native name even has Pokemon region vibes to me; Ireland is natively called Eire (pronounced Eh-Ruh or Air-Uh), and that proves to me Gaelic and Celtic names can really work selling the Pokemon region naming vibe; the name basically says its the land of one of their acient goddesses's, because it literally uses her name to name the land, but things start to get messy because of the work of the Catholics, as is usually the case with European Catholics get involved. Look up The Book of Invasions, Irelands collection of lore about its mythological settlers, when you get the chance; the book has some considerable holes in it, due to a number of factors, and the Catholic church is at least partially responsible for some of those holes while also trying to Christianize Ireland's existing lore so as to bring it more in line with the English ideal structure, that is because it was mostly English Catholics that did this.
Back when I was thinking about how to turn Ireland I thought about a number of things, like the starters and Legendaries. The Starter Pokemon I came up with, I think fit pretty well; they are pretty divers in what they are based on.The Grass Starter is supposed to be based on the Irish Hind (and a bit on the extinct Irish Red Deer, formerly known as the Irish Red Elk), with the final evolution being a Grass/Fairy type based on the Tuatha De Dannan known as Cerrunos; the Water Starter is based on an otter that becomes more dog-like as it evolves, addition to getting a spear, and becomes a Water/Fighting type based on the mythological Irish hero Chucalain (whose name literally translates to "Hound of Chulain"), it's also a bit of cultural joke, the Irish Celtic name for an otter literally translates to "water dog," do with that what you will; and the Fire Starter would be based on a Badger that evolves into a Fire/Dark or Fire/Ground typed Bear, which is another bit of a cultural joke, there are actually no bears in Ireland, they all died out ages ago, but the Irish badgers are jokingly referred to as "Irish Bears;" and that's the starters. As for the primary Legendaries, I thought I would just go with the theming provided in Irish Fairy lore, the queen of the Seelie court is referred to with the title/moniker of Summer and the queen of the Unseelie court is referred to with the title/Moniker of Winter, so I thought having some Legendaries based on them would be fitting, summer would be a Fairy/Fire type with a unique ability that basically makes a neverending Sunny Day type of effect as long as she is on the field, while Winter would have unique ability that basically gives a neverending Snowcloak effect that as long as she is on the field, in addition their abilities would also have the added effect of forcing the other off the field when they come out, that reflect the dynamic of Summer and Winter not liking each other while also reflecting how the seasons can often feel like they are forcing each other out.
And that's all I'm willing to share on that end, and I think I lost the notepad where I wrote the rest of the interesting stuff down a while back :P.
I also think it could be fun to see a region based on Mexico or Columbia or Brazil; they all have distinctive features that could be really fun to get translated into Pokemon regions.
Something else I thin could be fun to see the Pokemon franchise do is give canonical ancestors to the regional starter Pokemon, I think you can figure out what that means.
I truly love a region based on Ireland, especially Pokémon based on our fauna, culture, folklore and such, and Game Freak can actually give us a proper Banshee Pokemon too, a pot of Gold form for Gimmieghoul too, they could do a Pokémon based on the Salmon of Knowledge and give existing Pokémon some regional form based on the region they are in, a Steel/Fighting type Pawnard line based on the medieval knights and a split evolution too, a Kestral Pokémon, Sheep dog Pokémon, a Jack Russel Pokémon, red squirrel Pokémon and so on, a Legendary quartet Pokémon based on the seasons, I wonder what box Legendaries be based on tho, also a third main Legendary based on the whole culture of the land tbh, so many ideas tbh, also Puffins and Minks too, also a Dulahan Pokémon too, the regional dex would mostly be ghost, rock, water, Fairy, grass and such, with few sub type like fire, ice and such, also some dragon and other types too to fill it all out as well, so yeah
@@bradwhite5884 I heard Banshee evolved out of the Irish occupation of what were called "Mourners" or "Wailers," they were women that were paid quite well to Wail and Mourn openly for families while the family itself maintained a stoic facade for the event, So I can see a Banshee Pokemon being a Ghost/Fairy type or Ghost/Normal type.
Ireland is a pretty country! Its literally an island, so they have a good amount to work with!
@@dracone4370 Yep, would be cool typing tbh, should be either a two or three stage pokemon tbh, also a Dulahan could be it's parallel or whatever, a Ghost/Steel Pokémon, like Hatterene and Griminsnarl are to each other tbh, also a Fae Pokémon and a Shamrock Pokémon too, also a new bat Pokémon that pays homage to Bram Stoker tbh, a Dark/Flying Bat Pokémon would be cool too tbh, so many ideas tbh
I would be happy if there was a Mexico inspired region, I imagine the legendaries based on Aztec gods or folklore.
I'd like a region about mexico because they could do A LOT of content about it with the culture and biodiversity of the country
I NEED an Italian region. It always bothers me how Italy is technically very popular in Japan, getting outclassed only by probably the USA and France, but we have so little about it in videogames and media in general. It's like everyone forgets about it (yes, I'm Italian, but still my point stands)
Such a region will need to include San Marino and Vatican City.
Masuda actually tweeted a photo of a monument in Italy some years before X and Y’s release. But an Italian region didn’t take off sadly.
@@JamesDavy2009 the vatican would be a perfect place for a leggendary pokemon
The colosseun could be the pokemon league
Every region has snow,sea,mountains and even volcanoes in the south so it will be really easy to make a lot of type/gym/new mon variety
They could even make the island (sicilia and sardegna) end game content
no, not another dirty european
Yeah, Italy is definitely on my top three. Along with Australia and Mexico.
Rooting for Mexico and Dia de Muertos Ghost Gym 💀 and Hawlucha regional form.
I personally would love to see a region based in Australia, since it's one of my favorite countries. I also have three other region ideas namely China, Brazil and the Caribbean. I also think that Cinderace and Quaquaval could fit perfectly for a Brazilian inspired region, since they're themed around two of the most popular things in Brazil, soccer and the Rio carnival.
I never even considered the Great Lakes as a whole before! As someone who lives in the area, I love everything about this region idea. Looking forward to whatever the future holds!
I could also imagine Brazil, Greece or a combination of Germany, Austria and Switzerland to be interesting. As a German myself, I would find the latter one interesting. Although, there is a chance that the designers would just take the Alps and leave the rest of Germany out, referencing only the clichés that represent Bavaria, _not_ all of Germany. (Sorry, sensitive topic)
Regions based on Italy, Germany or Switzerland could also be connected to Kalos lore-wise.
I have also thought of a Scandinavian/Nordic region. You could have Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland for the main story and Iceland for post-game content. That could be a chance to bring back the weather system of Gen 5, for snowy paradises in winter (maybe lakes and parts of rivers frozen, with fishing holes in the ice) and idyllic hiking trails in summer (revealing some hidden areas that are blocked by snow in winter).
Congo has so many type of areas, the flora and fauna to based the perfect region. Sea, high speed rivers, legends, myths, savane, tropical forests, volcanoes, big cities. A lot of pokemon are based on animals from there Lion, cheetah, Zebra...
It will be a great one.
I would love for them to make a region based in an African country! The Congo is often overshadowed by its negative aspects, so Pokemon could shine a light on the country's beauty!
@@richardchan3107 facts
Indeed maybe a villainous team would be in nice touch.
@@MayorClintLloydford you can go so many was about this
@@MpanzuELWik What do u mean? Was I not making any sense to u?
Australia + New Zealand as DLC works for me, as well as Italian peninsula + Sicily & Sardinia as DLC.
I would very much like to see the next gen going Nordic, it would be the most novel and refreshing concept so far
Tbf I preferred Buddy's idea of Sicily being victory road and Sardinia the beginner island.
I would also love a Tasmania dlc for a game set in an australian region! :3
I think we had enough regions in japan.
Literally in Paldea and galar, Spain/Brittan and as a vacation in both we got to japan/Asian inspired locations...again.
I'd like to see places that are also non white and let's try Mexico, Isrel, Brazil, Africa those places have such rich and colorful
history and cultures begging to be explored in a pokemon game. The crazy advanced cities in Africa and the large wild lands and mountains
and rich greenery around it as well.
It's always sad to me that people have such a small scope of "here's my list of several pokemon region ideas and they're all light skinned dominated nations."
There's so many different places and ideas and amazing wildlife. Heck we already have most pokemon based on African and middle eastern locations.
This so much!
It's so common that people ask for nations that yes are beautiful and rich but seem to avoid these places for no reason. It kinda annoys me.
Did you somehow forgot Alola?
Israel? seriously???
Ive always quite liked your Egypt idea when you were doing stuff like those so honestly would really like that for countries they should do
Nice to see you finally back, I've missed your region videos.
I kinda want a german region with a lore triankle with Kalos and the scandinavian regions. Something centered around life and death, birth and rebirth and start and ending. Like a massive tree (Yggdrasil) on an island in the North Sea that gave birth to multiple legendaries like Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde and also being the center of a pokemon World version of the northern pantheon and the upcoming Ragnarök.
I’ve been thinking that a region based on Canada would be super interesting, as it would be north of Unova, and have ripe opportunity for lore involving the indigenous people of the land, where in Canada there is far more focus on them.
I really like your ideas. As for mine, I would love to see a Pokemon region based on Germany.
Yess me too!
I hope Gen 10 brings back the Dark/Ghost type combination. Think about it, the only 2 with that typing have 3 syllables in their names and begin with S.
Yeah, I agree
What relevance does the names have to them making a new Pokémon of that type? The localization teams have nothing to do with the actual design or typings of Pokémon.
Not that I *wouldn't* want a better Dark/Ghost type, but they'll name it whatever they want to - even if it's another three-syllable S name.
Their original japanese names are Yamirami and Mikaruge. No theming there.
I like your m&m pfp
Random name for it:
Soutragos
Soul + Outrage + Ghost
I hope gen 10 is based on Greece but giving the artifacts of ruin are heavily Chinese inspired so it’s possible we’re heading to china for gen 10
Going back to Japan would make sense for Gen 10, since it's such a momentous occasion. Maybe they could revive the original Gen 2 concept and just make the ENTIRE country and set it 30 years after the original like in real life!

Another thing about Italy is the food. The region could do pasta or pizza just like Galar did curry while Paldea did sandwiches.
What are our most known foods, pasta and pizza, are incredibly costumisable so they really are great for this type of thing. (Plus imagine boiling the water for pasta using the flame on a charmander's tail, or chimchar's/cyndaquil's back. That would be so cute 😊)
The great Lakes idea and the Australian idea both sound great. The idea for it sounds interesting. The Italy one, i dont know. It's possible, especially if they decide to do one like Hisui/past Sinnoh. Showing past Italy/Greece and everything.
However, If im promoting or putting out Ideas. I have one I think would be interesting: The Amazon.
Think about it. Doing a Pokemon variant of South America where it focused mainly on the Amazon. It has a vast amount of animals that could be used as potential pokemon. They could a variant of the Nazca, Peru, where they show the Nazca Lines. That has potential in pokemon. Another, the Mountainous terrain of Chile. That landscape would be pefect for polemon to exist.
Then there is the Jungle terrain that the Amazon is infamous about. But then there is the big point of the Amazon which could set the foundation of the new pokemon game or Gen 10: the Amazon River. The Amazon River is the focal point of the Amazon, filled dangerous animals and legends that could set of a very good story line for a pokemon game.
It's also said that the Amazon River goes by the name of the Great Beast of the Amazon, which could open as a new Legendary Pokemon that uses the Amazon River as it home or the deep depths of the Amazon as it home. Then you could introduce the tribes of the Amazon in the game, since they live in the Amazon.
Many ideas.
My Top Six main numbered picks for Generation 10 Pokemon's Region!
1. Australia
2. Mexico
3. Canada
4. United States of America
5. Brazil
6. Egypt
I think Peru should be the next Pokémon region or at least a future one.
I’m currently working on a region based on Peru (with elements and smaller things based on parts of Brazil and Chile)
If anyone wants to ask me any questions about it or share any ideas for it, please let me know.
My Top Picks:
1. Greece (The mythological creatures of Greco-Roman Mythology are just SCREAMING to become Pokémon, hopefully we can get a male regional variant of Tinkaton inspired by the Cyclops & maybe the Gym Leaders could take inspiration from the 12 Olympians of Greco-Roman Mythology with Heracles acting as the Champion.)
2. Scandinavia/I.E: Norway, Denmark, or Sweden (I feel like the region would have connections with Yveltal & Xerneas since they're supposedly inspired by Norse Mythology with Yveltal being inspired by Hræsvelgr & Xerneas being inspired by Yggdrasil.)
3. Egypt (We've already gotten a region with its country inspiration being from Asia & Europe, so I feel like we need one with a country inspiration being from Africa. I also saw a fakemon which was inspired by both the Dung Beetle & a Snowmobile & I really think it'd be a cool Pokemon to have in order to traverse through the deserts of the Pokemon region in question.)
4. India (This one was thrown on here because of Pragmagik.)
5. Mexico (I threw this one on here because, like with Greece, Scandinavia, Egypt, & India, I'd like a Pokemon Region inspired by a country rich with mythological roots. I.E: Greece = Greco-Roman Mythology, Scandinavia = Norse Mythology, Egypt = Egyptian Mythology, India = Hindu Mythology, & Mexico = Mesoamerican Mythology. Also, I can just imagine the Ghost Gym Leader being inspired by La Calavera Catrina.)
Bonus: Germany (While I chose countries rich with Mythological Roots, I added this one in as a bonus because I'd like to see how they'd tackle the Brothers Grimm Fairytales. I'd personally imagine each Gym Leader being inspired by one, probably with Rumpelstiltskin being the Steel Gym Leader, Rapunzel being a Grass Gym Leader, The Frog Prince being a Poison Gym Leader, Hansel & Gretel being a Duo of Fire Gym Leader's, Cinderella being a Fire Gym Leader, & maybe a Champion Snow White.)
I'd just like the next generation's region to be complete and functional at release.
Masuda tweeted a photo of his time in Italy before X and Y’s release. Pretty sure everyone will get their wish of an Italian region someday.
Next European region is gonna be the Netherlands (There are massive hints in BDSP, ScarVio and marketing).
@@nickdentoom1173lmaooo
Id love a Transylvania kinda themed region with pokemon based on classic horror monsters and Grims fairy tales
As someone who grew up in Indiana, I would love a region based on the great lakes
I'd love to see gen 10 be based on my home country Canada 😁🤞🏻💕
I've been designing Pokemon and a map for a region based on TN, KY and WV as a hobby for a few years now. I chose it cause it's my home region and I figured no one else would ever make a region based on it because of how seemingly plain it is.
But I always have trouble deciding how true-to-life I want it. I have a lot of bias because I'm from here, but I can't include everything even if there isn't a game that has to be made. How did you decide on the depth and size of your past regions?
I'd love to see more convergent pokemon variations!
like, imagine drifloon, but instead of a balloon, it's instead
*Squidloon!*
and to fit the italy [greek mainly] theme
it could evolve into
*Kraklim!*
I think the convergent Pokémon tend to have a same part in their names.
Like Wiglett (Diglett) and Wugtrio (Dugtrio)
Toedscool (Tentacool) and Toedscruel (Tentacruel)
Poltchageist (Poteageist) and Sinistcha (Sinistea)
Fried Squidloon rings 🤤🤤🤤
I personally want a reigon based on Maryland, not only because I live there but it's close connection to the Chesapeake bay and extremely diverse landscape could lead to some really interesting locations. Maybe an evil team could be a gang in a city parallel to Baltimore. I imagine that this Maryland reigon would be full of grass and water types!
I was hoping for a Pokémon region that would be based off of either China or Canada.
For China, the evil team in that region would sell bootleg stuffs, since China doesn't care about the whole copyrighted thing and such. 🤔
As for Canada, the story takes place in that region, in a town that's based off of Vancouver, the player embarks on an adventure to become the Pokémon Master. That's...all I can think of for now.
Or maybe the new Pokémon region would be based off of either Transylvania or New Zealand? For Transylvania, back in the olden days, people in that region were afraid of Ghost Pokémons because Ghost Pokémons would be mischievous and play tricks on people. But nowadays, in the modern years, Ghost Pokémons don't seem a threat to them anymore, and people actually cared about the Ghost Pokémons more.
But an evil team tried to make people understands that Ghost Pokémons are scary again, and thus, the player w/ its starter, who are also part Ghost-type will stop them, battle gym leaders, Elite 4s, a emotionless goth/emo rival, another rival that's also a Hex Maniac girl, and will do his or her best to be the Pokémon Master! (Oh god, why did I come up w/ that idea? That sounds like a splendid idea for a Gen 10 Pokémon Region! 😃)
Anyways, and for New Zealand (and much like both Colosseum and Gale of Darkness), I figured this one would be based off of both Purification and Corruption, w/ a new addition: Nullification! =)
Anyways, that's all I can think of for now...Except for the Transylvania Pokémon region, which that sounded like a good idea for a new Pokémon region. ^__^
NZ is a good place to have a Pokémon region with various animals that a Pokémon game can be based on such as the kiwi bird and a regional variant of Wooloo. You can also learn about the Maori.
@@JamesDavy2009 Yeah, but now that I think about it, I think my Transylvania Pokémon region idea is a lot better? 🤔
I want a region based on the west coast of the US and western Canada. Imagine what the starters and the new eeveelutions would be. I would love to see how the huge coniferous forests would be like in the region and new pokémon based on North American cryptids and various pop culture like superheroes (I know that we have Palafin), slasher villains, rubberhose cartoons, video games, etc.
My top pick was a region based on the Middle-Southern part of the US (Missouri, Louisiana, Florida, etc but mainly Louisiana) mainly because it would be nice to see such a colorful place be turned into a region
Florida is on my wishlist for a pokemon region (alongside Mexico and Romania)
Imagine a post game/DLC based around a theme park!
Louisiana as a region is an idea I am obsessed with. I've actually been working on making my own fan region based around it. I want to make a fan game in RPG Maker and have been steadily working on assets and coming up with lore. There is so much culture and history to dig into, it's been a really fun project. Having grown up here, I've always wanted someone to do Louisiana representation justice, because nearly every time it gets depicted in media it just feels like a really bad caricature, plus the ties it could have with Kalos and Paldea. The thing that really sold me on this idea was theming the gym challenge around the Mardi Gras festival. It would be really cool to see Game Freak's take on it, though I don't know how likely it is that they would do it any time in the near future.
@cameronwidner9971 Oh absolutely I’ve lived in Louisiana for most of my life, and that’s why I’m also really passionate about making fantasy regions based on it because of its rich history and cultures. It’s a shame it usually gorse unexplored in media, so I made part of my fakemon region based on it!
Hope Australia, Scandanavia, or Italy so people go back and see your videos again lol but I love the Great Lakes idea! Also hope for a Mexico region
I am Italian and I approve this message.
I wish gen 10 takes inspiration in hispanic America, taking advantage of the fact we just got a region based on Spain; maybe they could create some connections between the new region and Paldea.
2:04 the issue is, Sinnoh is right above Johto and Kanto, so you’d have to fit the region in with Sinjoh somehow
Italy would be nice. Especially if they wanted to flex their customisation chops for Milan.
India would be interesting in terms of the different terrains and wildlife. Would be cool to see Copperajah in its natural habitat.
Brazil or Venezuela would be cool if we were going to keep the whole stadium idea going. Just don’t make the villains the people in the shanty towns. That would be messed up.
Try Guyana-Mew was discovered there.
@@JamesDavy2009 That is a really
Good idea.
I've always wanted a region based on New England, since I used to live there. It would be so cool to see the Appalachian Mountains in a new Pokemon light, along with all the urban legends, folklore, and horror novel inspired areas and pokemon. plus with how close to Unova a region like that would be, we'd probably see a lot of characters from there too!
My Top 5:
1. Nordic or Icelandic
2. Argentina and/or Chile
3. Russia
4. India
5. China
Bottom 5:
5. Greece
4. Any other Southern Europe country
3. Anywhere in Japan
2. Anywhere in Japan
1. Anywhere in Southern Europe or Japan.
Two countries I wanted for ages as a Pokémon region is Canada and Mexico, maybe the time will tell.
how would you feel about a Netherlands based region? (my home country)
i am actually making one myself
our legends and crazy wildlife might be lacking
but what we do have, is a rich history, tons of inventions and discoveries, plenty of unique food
and while our landscape if very flat & wet, with only some hills in the south-east, it does give the opportunity to bring back seasons like in Unova
Well... as far as European countries go, Netherlands is probably next in line anyways, cuz there are massive hints in both BDSP and ScarVio, but also marketing wise.
Even though these regions would be pretty cool, it’s likely that of these, Italy would be one of the most likely of locales, as there’s already been an emphasis on cold regions with large cultural-defining lakes in the Sinnoh / Hisui region, and along with the mentions of cold climates like Sinjoh, it pushes the possibility back for Scandinavia. This is also especially considering that we had the Crown Tundra of Galar, and Galar revealing a few Nordic-inspired Pokémon such as Perrserker and Runerigus.
Now, I’d mentioned Sinjoh as a region that we’ve already previously heard of, but rarely visited outside of the Gen 4 event to the Sinjoh Ruins. However, there are other regions we know exist, but have simply not been to yet.
Yungoos and Copperajah, for example, were most definitely imported from an India-based region. It is likely Meditite and Medicham also come from this region, as well, so there’s many hints to that down the line. An Indian region DOES exist, we just haven’t been there.
The same can be said for a Chinese region, where it’s likely the Treasures of Ruin originate from, as well as possibly the quartet of Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, and Enamorus. I believe we’d visit India or Italy before they’d decide we would go to China, but I bet this Chinese region would be massive, an insane cultural experience to undertake.
Australia would be cool and all, but I think they’d certainly not only mix in elements of the native Australian wilderness, but also of the Aboriginal concept of “Dreamtime,” warping the player to another world to battle a Pokémon who reigns over a conceptual dream space of sorts. It seems similar to Alola in a lot of ways with the Ultra Beasts, so perhaps they could introduce an Australian region as DLC in the future Alolan remake.
I really want a Pokemon region who passes in some place in south America like Mexico, Argentina and principally Brasil,i have a lot of Brasilian friends and I even make a Brasilian fakedex who is one of my favorite pokemon creation's i have
Maybe a South American based region with strong ties to the Mayan and other culturaly significant civilizations from that region. Maybe with a significantly sized area based off the Amazon Rainforest.
I would honestly love to see a Pokemon Region based on New Zealand or South Africa
I wondered what a Pokemon region based on California would be like. We have LA in the very bottom of California so maybe that can serve as a perfect place to put a city at kinda like Lumiose city. And there are stadiums nearby the airports as well to serve as Pokemon leagues!
A Vatican City area in the Italy region would be perfect for some new lore surrounding Arceus and his influence outside of the Japanese regions.
I would love all of these to become regions one day especially a Nordic based region. Region ideas that i would love to see are Greece, China, Africa,Canada and Mexico.
i agree with Italy
has highlands and lowlands
lots of different types of cities and villages
a lot of history
similar size to other regions
I think Taiwan, Phillippines or South East Asia could also be good. But more controversial is South Korea. There are countries however I don't think Gamefreak will ever try.
North Korea is controversial, South Korea is all good.
My top 5 picks:
5. Brazil (The eastern part of Brazil, which includes cities like Rio De Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Brasilia. A DLC expansion would explore the western part of Brazil including the Amazon Rainforest with a tropical climate and amazing animal species.)
4. South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini (Swaziland) (A location of Africa that has a big economy. Therefore they can do a region based there like a city based on Johannesburg and Cape Town.)
3. Egypt (A lot of Pokemon creatures like Lucario have Egyptian like aspects, so a region based on Egypt with a lot of desert would be interesting.)
2. Vietnam (I'm partly Vietnamese so biasness plays a big part, but I would like to see Pokemon try and target some minor countries too, and Vietnam would be a great choice for this. I know it's not likely but I would be interested to see it.)
1. Sydney and New South Wales, Australia (I'm from Sydney, so a region based on Sydney would be great. Not the whole of Australia though as it's too big. If they can base the Unova region on just New York City, then they could base a region on just Sydney city and some surrounding places around NSW. A DLC expansion would explore Western NSW too.)
Sorry there are no locations based on Europe and USA in my Top 5 list here, but because they've already done regions based on those locations already (especially Europe which they did a lot on already).
Mr Buddy can you give us a part 2 to this video where you give us 5 more ideas for regions.
I'd be down to see one based on the American Southwest, but more than anything I just want to see them bring the Pokemon open-world to new heights
I would love to see a region based around Germany and Swiss Alps.
Would be cool to see. Wonder if it ever will happen...
My wishlist: Gen 10- Australia with Antarctica and Indonesia as DLC options, Gen 11- Egypt with a savanna and jungle DLC, Gen 12- Scandinavia with Iceland and Eastern Canada as DLC, Gen 13- India with a South East Asia DLC, Gen 14- Great Lakes area with a Western DLC, Gen 15- Italy with Scotland and Ireland DLC, Gen 16- Mexico and the Caribbean with some South America DLC, Gen 17- Greece with Bavaria DLC, Gen 18- China with a Korea and Japan DLC, and Gen 19- Space Exploration with a Prehistoric DLC.
I personally wouldn't mind a region based on Florida.
My guess is that Game Freak will try to make regions based on the main countries were they sell their games first, since Paldea was gen 9 i think we can leave Italy aside for now, leaving us with Germany, another US based region, South Korea, China, Japan, Australia and Canada.
The Kitakami DLC maybe could be the teaser to a return in Japan (or the Far East), but since Gen 10 could also possibily mean a Gen 5 remake I don't think another US based region is higly possible.
@@brunocaruso6007 Japan, South Korea and China
@@brunocaruso6007 china alone is too big to be just one region, a region based on china and korea combined is unrealistic
Also, PLZA is HOPEFULLY a hint that a Eurpoean region is unlikely.
I think Gen 10 should go back to Japan just because it's the 10th generation. Gen 11 can be one of the other places. I would love a "Great Lakes" region especially if it incorporates a lot from my state. Italy and Scandanavia would also be cool cause I love both Roman and Norse mythology. Greece and India would also be good options. Lastly, I would like to see gen 10 complete all the typo combos. It would be fitting to have Gen 10 do this. There aren't many left, so it wouldn't be hard.
I think a Chinese pokemon region would be cool even if it's unlikely to happen due to Japan's and china's mutual dislike of each other
Kitakami is the tenth region . The Region Tohoku
@@brunocaruso6007 there is a difference between just translating a product you already made to another language for a crap ton of cash and developing a whole game based off that culture.
@@kanebekkattla3963 Didn't stop Nintendo games from having chinese set pieces in their games.
Generation 10 should be set in Massachusetts. Speaking of which, Can I see a Massachusetts region?
One of the Great Lakes would make an interesting Pokemon region. I can easily picture cities based off of Green Bay, Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland making up half of the gym cities. *(Cleveland's would have to be in their version of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.)* With Toronto likely being where the Pokemon League would be housed.
I just hope its not another European region
Almost confirmed, they certainly won't choose a third world country
it probably will be
It's like the world south of the Equator doesn't exist to them.
British Columbia!! Bustling cities in lower mainland (like Vancouver), the olympic/resort city of Whistler (good Location for the league), an isolated region/island (Vancouver Island or Haida Gwaii which can include some rainforests/oceanic landscapes), Okanagan Valley (vineyards, valleys), northern British Columbia (some port cities and tundra like geography), and of course the Rockies bordering Alberta!
Since we do have a UK-inspired region with Galar, if and when they do eventually set the new region in Italy and maybe countries like Greece even, whenever they get around to making the Middle East inspired one, they could connect them together since these countries have historically had some influence in the region. If Genshin Impact managed to make a region loosely inspired by the ME and SEA regions combined, Pokemon can do it too.
only one problem - nobody likes the middle east or hamas
I would like:
- Appalachia-inspired region (It would be near Unova and it would have pokemon inspired by Appalachian history/culture)
- Germany, Austria and Switzerland - Well, I just want to see how they manage to make a region filled with German culture (And the legendary theme could be Industry VS Nature as Germany also experienced industrial moments)
(Also just no N!zi related content or just tone it down to vague militaristic stuff)
- South Africa - C'mon, that wouldn't be bad idea after all.
- Turkiye/Turkey - That would be nice. Interesting lore and ideas for that region. Also kebab mon.
- Mexico - Paldea is here, so it's not surprising to see Mexico as another spanish-speaking-country-inspired region.
My List: (not in order)
1. China, because of Fisherman Bronson, Arcanine & Parasect's Pokédex entries & the 6 sages' proverbs
2. India, because of similar references, like Copperajah & Raichu's Pokédex entry
2.5. Journey to the West region combining China & India.
3. Russia, because Silph Co. has a branch there.
4. Guyana, because that's where Mew was discovered. Xatu's Pokédex entries mention South America.
5. Roman Empire, because Italy, Greece & Egypt probably could fit into 1 region.
One based off the American southwest would be great, Area 51 with old legendaries and paradox pokemon, ice gym in the mountain ranges, a Disneyland parody, the natural rock structures, vast deserts, and Albuquerque area for the villains who are crime lords and the city has many turns you need to take, Hollywood, Las Vegas being the elite 4 area, Alcatraz island/golden gate bridge being a steel gym, ghost gym in a ghost town, a Wild West town, Grand Canyon, they call the main trail Route 66, water gym at Elis island, an electric gym at an oil pump farm and the leader of the gym/ owner of the farm is a parody of rockifeller and US oil. And overall there’s just a lot of areas from the southwest location and history wise to make a region out of.
I agree with two of the 5 region for generation 10 Pokémon, Australia and Italy would be amazing to see. There are other 3 region I would like to add, India for it's rich history and colourful characters. Just imagine a Pokémon that based on thire iconic bird the Indian peafowl. Egypt will be great also, I would like to see some Egyptian inspired Pokémon in my Pokédex. Another North American region for generation 10 Pokémon is the Southwest region, from Texas to Las Vegas Nevada, that's a lot of Pokémon to catch and see.
I think China is a highly likely candidate. Think about it, the Treasures of Ruin already hinted at a land in the East of the Pokémon world where they come from. Their names are all Chinese, their theme is Chinese, really weird and unfitting for Paldea. Almost as if they're hinting at China through these legendaries. Compare it with the Strange Souvenire from XY, which was atypical for the region based on France and a big hint at Alola (Hawaii).
Also, the gaming market (and thus Pokémon) are getting bigger and more influential in China. China's become a strong contendor in the production of games itself.
Pokémon tends to create a region where there is a big player base or some "sentimental" connection to the region. You probably won't ever see a Greece region cuz, like, three people play Pokémon in Greece. China however? Big fanbase there.
The only reason I could see China not being Gen 10's region is bc of politics and strained relations between Japan and China, where GF wouldn't want to risk offending them with perhaps a certain depiction that the Chinese may not like.
On Pokémon Day 2026 Which Is The Franchise’s 30th Anniversary, Me And My Beautiful Asian Soulmate (Maya-Minnie-Chu) Will Be Finally Getting Married In New York City’s Time Square At The Stroke Of 7:00 P.M. That Is When Pokémon Generation 10 Will Be Announced.
India, Brazil or Australia would be amazing. All 3 have a diverse mix of flora and fauna and their own unique ecosystem. Would love to see a peacock Pokemon from India, a Platypus one from Australia and an Arawana fish Pokemon from Brazil.
Speaking about thr possibility of ride Pokemon, i don't want it ro come at the cost of the bike such as generation 7, and 9.
Sinilarly I'd like to see the old rod, good rod, and super rod make a return.
Probably because i grew up on RSE, Platinum, and BW.
What else am I missing here. 🤔
I thought of on what your Australia region needs, 2 legendary Pokemon that represent the battle of colors! One, based on the fabled rainbow serpent, for bright colors and the other, based on emu, for dull colors. I also thought of a country that hasn't been picked, Finland! It's adventure are based on history when Finland want its own dependence from Russia, in fact I thought of 2 legendary Pokemon for that, one represents Finland is based on a swan and the one represents Russia is based on bear. What do you think of that, can it be done?
I honestly think that the next region should be based on Italy. I mean, we already have Kalos, which is based on France, so it would make SO much sense to have another region based on another part of the Mediterranean.
I would like regions based off India, Brazil, Greece, USA’s Deep South, and Egypt. There are a lot of Pokémon that already have Indian or Egyptian vibes.
I have a feeling it’s going to be Italy. So easy to transition off of Paldea. But my dream would be for it to be Mexico. Brazil or Egypt would be super cool too.
Paldea seems to be mix of Spain and Italy. Pokémon Regions aren't copys of Real world Country; Despite what some people expect.
I was thinking it could be neat if they took the land of the great lakes and made it land and make the surrounding land into water.
Maybe a region based on Southeast Asia sounds cool. It’s so diverse and has a mix blend of different cultures with some Chinese and Indian influences.
My most wanted Pokemon based regions
- Romania! Specifically for Transylvania inspired Pokemon.
- Florida. Post game/DLC including a theme park to fight retro trainers.
- Mexico. Paldea for Spain was fine but what about the Aztecs?
6:18 Italy is such a good option for a Pokémon region. Not to mention the fact France and Spain are literally near it. Both Pokemon Regions. Also I’m pretty sure one of Paldea’s Starters is based off something that Italy created/famous person. (I don’t know what starter specifically)
And United Kingdom, bunch of regions in that area. The Colosseum would be the perfect stage for gen 10 🔥
I’m all for Italy in the future- but not yet. I want a break from Europe. And Italy is so similar to Spain being a Mediterranean, warm weather country. We need a little more variation from the region we just had.
China. There's so many cool things in China - a lot of rich history and beautiful lakes, bridges, mountains etc.
Omg!! I live near Erie and that would be really cool 🥰 I love unova but it's not very like the areas I am familiar with 🤔
As an italian, I was really surprised by this video! Thank you!
I feel like a central America region would be really cool. Rainforests, mountains, volcanoes, etc.
Here top region idea:
1.Africa
2.Greece
3.Russia
4.Mexico
5.India
6.Egypt
