Okay /vp/ so I saw a prvs thread about the possible new prof and it got me thinking.
>New region IS based off of Hawaii
>New Professor name is Palm
>area of study is most likely going to be based off of the games itself, i.e.: Pokemon activity during daytime/nighttime
>Palm will probably be a large islander woman
>The starters will likely be a:
>-Bat (grass), likely based off of the Hoary Bat commonly found in Hawaii and also described as looking like a leaf. This can also tie in to the theory surrounding the grass starters being based off of evolutionary traits (i.e. animals gaining wings)
>-Crab, Hermit Crab or Monk Seal (water), mainly because those are the only possible animals that fit the “semi-aquatic” description
>-Sheep/Goat (fire), which are also common in Hawaii and would link back to the zodiac theory.
>legendaries are open for discussion.
>new pokemon, prevos and evos are also open for discussion.
I agree
>>25611097
Oh shit captcha: Choose pictures with palms.
Palm fucking confirmed
>>25611066
Hoenn has plams
Fucking cold Sinnoh has palms
Unova has palms
Kalos has plams
Remind me again why do people think new region will be some exotic place?
Oh because they saw one fucking palm
>>25611141
Alright
>>25611165
Oh wow, that suggests we MIGHT get a region influeneced by Hawaii, not necessarily an exotic region
>>25611189
>hawaii
>not exotic
please be baiting
or else you might be the first legitimate retard on this board
>>25611189
>influeneced by Hawaii, not necessarily an exotic region
So what would Hawaii be classified as?
>>25611189
>>25611206
You seriously dont see a difference between by influenced and copied the real thing?
Do you think Kanto feels Japanese? Really?
Or Unova screams American?
Even Kalos doesnt feel that French outside of Lumiose
They cant just do another only hot region filled with water routes because
1-We just got out of Hoenn and many people dislkie the watery parts
2-You need to do an enviroment for the ice types. It cant be just exotic

Ur mom
>>25611273
>Actually thinking they will ignore ice types because vp dislike them
>>25611338
Lol didn't say they'll ignore them. That still doesn't mean they'll center their whole region around the fucking type
>>25611241
Ice types tend to get their one cave in every region.
>Seafoam Islands
>Ice Path
>Shoal Cave
>Route 216 and north
>Twist Mountain
>Frost Cavern
The outlier is the cold region, big surprise.
>>25611241
One of the Hawaiian Islands has a mountain that has snow. I believe its on Kawaii
>>25611066
Palm sounds highly legit.
>>25611066
When has the region ever influenced the starters in that generation? Stop thinking like this is one of /vp/'s stupid build-a-game projects, the starters will be random, fucking cap this and put it under your pillow ;)
>>25611189
So you know next to nothing about Hawaii then, aight.
>>25611602
Unova had a pig, snake and otter all of which are common in murica
america is pigs
don't tread on me
smely otter
>>25611602
kinkshame me harder fag
>>25611602
What if though? I mean, not to say the others didn't exactly base their starters off of a particular region, but it seems like GF is headed that way with the last 2 gens having a lot more cultural references
>>25611596
I agree. Now i'm getting more hyped holy shit
came to comment and lmao
>prays at night that he get's a mega-evolution
>>25611619
America also has lizards (Charmander, Treeko), turtles/tortoises (Turtwig), alligators/crocodiles (Totodile), birds (Torchic), foxes (Fennekin), frogs (Froakie)
Japan has pigs and snakes but no penguins (Piplup), France has turtles and lizards
There is no apparent pattern to starters based on the regions real world counterpart.
honestly I hope we get pokemon based off of these kinds of animals/things:
-woodpecker
-lemur
-tree frog
-tiki
-oni/imp
-mothman
-anaconda (because the other snakes don't count)
-gorilla (because the other monkeys don't count)
-punching bag/ghost (could be ghost/fighting)
-tiki mask ghost
-tiki torch???
-ghost ship
-surfing poke
-volcano poke
-new fighting poke (i.e. hariyama = sumo, Machamp = wwe, etc)
>>25611649
>secretly knows machamp will get a mega before him
>>25611066
Nope.
Professor Plantain.
Grass-type literal coconut crab.
Water-type sea urchin.
Fire/Fighting-type wild boar.
>>25611632
Kalos got a snail and poodle pokemon, it seems that Gamefreak sprinkles pokemon based on the real location into the generations lineup, so I wouldn't mind a few tropical/island based pokemon
>>25611673
I'll take that tiki pokemon to go
>>25611683
>prepares the noose as finally accept the fact there won't be Mega Crobat
>>25611704
>Fire/Fighting-type wild boar
What is Emboar
>>25611673
You got any more of them anaconda pokemon
>>25611704
>>25611714
>>25611710
It would be so lit to get a mega crobat that is shaped like a croissant and just hovers in its battle animation tho
[beeb beeb]
friend coming through
>>25611141
>Hoenn has plams
>Kalos has plams
quick somebody draw what a plam is
>>25611742
>>25611728

Hey guys look mega crobat was leaked
>>25611821
Here's the real leak
>>25611864
Great news! they split the games so Moon will get the one above! this one will be in sun.
>>25611882
>>25611882
hawaii confirmed

>>25611241
>Do you think Kanto feels Japanese? Really?
yes
>Or Unova screams American?
yes
>Even Kalos doesnt feel that French outside of Lumiose
yes it does
>>25612458
Then explain whats japanese about kanto
>>25611066
>Tree Professor
>not a Bush Professor
>woman
nah
>>25611066
Remeber how we got French themed starters for Kalos and New York themed pokemon for Unova?
Also remind me again how a badger is a rat?
>>25612472
Literally the Kanto region of Japan, plus pokemon...?
>>25611673
Serpirior is a green anaconda, we dont need another right now
Hawaii's state tree is the Kukui/Candlenut Tree. I am all for a Hawaii based region but Professor Palm seems like low hanging fruit. I would assume something closer to Kukui or Candlenut.
captcha: select images with trees.
holy shit.
>>25615040
Imagine a professor called Candlenut. Imagine if professor was your mom. Your name would be Anon Candlenut.
>>25611652
>A pig, a snake in the grass and the worst starter ever
>Implying they didn't deliberately give them to America
>>25615329

what is reading comprehension, Anon?

You tell me, anon. You tell me.

>tree frog
Politoed is literally a tree frog. Thought I wouldn't mind more frog pokemon.
>>25611704
Plantain is Sycamore's Japanese name, though.
>>25611066
>hawaii
>implying
it would look exactly like Hoenn again
100% its going to be South America/the Caribbean or something.
possibly Mexico due to the Sun-Moon thing and the fact that Mexico has the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon
>>25618411
I want my dream of an all Frog team to become a reality
>Politoed
>Toxicroak
>Sismetoad
>Greninja
with Poliwrath being a possible addition
>>25611241
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are covered in snow kid.
>>25618655
the thing is though we already had two games set in a tropical volcanic island region, Hawaii would just be too similar to ORAS which just came out
its going to be Mexico because of related >>25618547
also because Japs LOVE Mexico and have a ton of romantic fantasies about it.
>>25617386
>what is crustle
>>25618675
Which is why I see japanese tourists walking the streets of Waianae.
stfu, japs love hawaii the best.
>>25618675
Mexico would be pretty neat
Villainous team is a Pokemon cartel
>>25611602
French region had a frog.
>>25618689
A bug type, crabs are not bugs
>>25611241
Unova was American as fuck. Next you're gonna tell me Kalos didn't feel French.
>>25618704
yea but what does it have to do with suns and moons?
I can totally see some Aztec influenced stuff and massive sun-moon temples in the jungle
plus we've never had a proper "jungle" region yet so this would be nice.
Hawaii would just be Hoenn 2
I mean I loved Hoenn (surfing and all) but still
>>25611241
>Even Kalos doesnt feel that French outside of Lumiose
This is the dumbest thing I've ever read on /vp/, which is a gigantic accomplishment. Bravo.
>>25611241
I don't know enough about individual Japanese prefectures to judge the first four, but
>Unova: New York
>Fedora antivillain
>American pigdog starter that gets obese as it evolves
>Gigantic subway in place of battle frontier
>Kalos: France
>Main villain looks like a huge faggot
>Most popular starter is a literal frog that has a scarf that grows as it evolves
>Battle Maison
>Parfum Palace
I guess fire starter will be some sheep or goat yeah
Water type will probably be a shark thing cause we already had turtle and shark + turtle are the common water thing in hawaii. Maybe crab.
Nah you're right shark would be too cool for a starter but I bet we'll get a hammershark mon
And I don't even know about grass starter it'll just be some weird fern-like piece of shit so hideous you won't be able to tell what the hell they were trying to base it on.
A koala or a coconut weasel idk something lame and retarded
>>25619048
>fire sheep
>wool is flames
wew
>>25611673
>woodpecker
already confirmed
>lemur
sure
>tree frog
mmmmaybe. Like, half tree frog half something else.
Treefrog-ish i'd say
>tiki
definetly
>oni/imp
mmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe the lil cute legendary like mew/celebi/jirachi/etc,
could be cool but i kinda doubt it
>mothman
hmmmmmmm..... i mean it's possible but i don't really bet for it
>anaconda
i wish. We need more snek pokemon
>gorilla
something tells me that gamefreak's got the exact kind of retarded of not adding a gorilla to hawaii. I'm not even really sure of what the fuck i'm talking about
>punching bag ghost
I... i really hope they don't?? But we had way more retarded shit
>tiki mask ghost
no we only get 1 mask pokemon
>tiki torch
no we only get 1 tiki pokemon
>ghost ship
if you mean like, a place, yeah; maybe.
if you mean like a ghost ship pokemon pppfffffffpfpfpfpffff
>surfing poke
jesus christ a water fighting obnoxious humanoid with some dreadlock-like hair or head shape that appears holding a surfing table and in their description there's some autistic shit lke "they invented surfing to hunt fish and taught the technique to humans who use it now recreatively but only they know how to surf at 29000mp/h"
but they don't learn surf via level, you gotta use the HM
and you have to teach them Surf so they can evolve into some water/flying or fighting/flying fuck
>volcano poke
please no
we already have volcano-snail, volcano-turtle and volcano-camel
and maybe some other i'm forgetting
>new fighting poke
well, we have karate, sumo, wrestling, capoeira, boxing and kick boxing...
I'd go for muai thai.
Yeah it's thai and it has nothing to do with hawaii, but we got hawlucha in kalos so whatever
and i was going to add something else but i forgot
>>25611066
>Palm will probably be a large islander woman
Will she let me snu snu with her?
>>25619158
yeah but it'll look autistic as fuck, because we already have normal/cool sheep and normal/cool goat
By the way, how many of you think at least one of the starters' final evo will be an obvious furbait like delphox?
and which type will it be this time?
>>25619333
>>25611066
hahaha nah, we already have a female professor, GameFreak already met the quota. Do you think they're some kind of sjw?
>>25611241
>Even Kalos doesnt feel that French outside of Lumiose
>Gamefreak literally went to France to document things they would use to create the Kalos region
Yeah, nah, Kalos isn't french at all.
>>25611735

>>25619317
>if you mean like a ghost ship pokemon pppfffffffpfpfpfpffff
Not that guy, but I just thought of something. What if it was like a giant sea monster that sort of "wore" a sunken ship? A giant hermit crab or something?
>>25611241
You don't think that people believe the game is actually going to be set in Hawaii, right?
Right?
>>25611673
>Punching Bag Ghost
>>25619317
>I... i really hope they don't?? But we had way more retarded shit
But Anons, we have Wobbuffet who basically is a punching bag, so it's not a dumb idea.
>>25619386
Jar Jar Binks
>>25618778
It's still a hermit crab dumbass
>>25619441
Wait, not a hermit crab. An octopus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphioctopus_marginatus
It wouldn't be the first octopus to use something as rudimentary armor.
>>25611241
I mean I was on board with not jumping to conclusions about Hawaii but:
>Do you think Kanto feels Japanese? Really?

You just fucking won the most retarded post award, quite an accomplishment in this board.

>>25619441
>>25619616
Could be a small brig. But then it'd still be pretty damn big.
There's plenty of smaller ships and boats, of course, but they'd lose the impressiveness people think of when they think "Ghost Ship"
Nobody really pictures a sloop.
