Of all those, Mexico has a slight chance. But I guess between Ludicolo, Crasher Wake and Hawlucha they covered most of the memes.

If they're going outside America/Europe, I guess most chances are with China because nips are known to be obsessed with their ancient history and have a boner with Lu Bu.

If you want to take Asia away, guess then Brazil is ahead of everyone else. So please, let's not go there.

Look at the last three Gens, all of which weren't based on a Japanese area:

>Unova - New York City
>Kalos - France
>Alola - Hawaii

All three are big fucking tourist destinations. France and Hawaii especially are THE places the Japanese get obsessed with and occupy a large presence in their pop culture as "attractive foreign vacation locations." For fucks sake, there's a fucking syndrome for disappointed Japanese tourists in Paris. Honolulu has entire tour bus companies dedicated solely to Japanese tourism. It helps that these regions work well with their modern, internationally focused scope. But it's also telling all three are incredibly familiar to Japan as well. I don't really know where they'll go after this, after already hitting the big Japanese tourism spots.

A third world country based region would be neat if they wanted to do another gritty spinoff like Gale of Darkness.

Well i think that the next region could be in South America or Europe again.

Dude the first four gens were based on Japan. Only two have been based on America and Hawaii is a very popular place for Japanese tourists and there are a lot of cultural osmosis from Japan in Hawaii. And I doubt they are going to do India or something since the country is just too big. I mean when they did France they only did the North. And France is much smaller than India.

This is pretty much the reason why the next region is going to be something like Korea, China (Mainland, Taiwan, and/or Hong Kong), or California (SF, LA), just because those are top Japanese tourist destinations.

Hawaii is the #1 tourist destination for Japanese. Then it's Guam, and then California. Here's some data (picture related):
* http://travel.trade.gov/outreachpages/download_data_table/2013_Japan_Market_Profile.pdf

Gen 8 is likely going to take place somewhere where Japanese love to go. It might actually take place back in Japan again (Shikoku is the only main home island left which hasn't appeared in a video game, or maybe Okinawa?), but after that it'll likely be something like Hong Kong or San Francisco or LA (or a mix of the last two).

It'll be Korea before India, and we all know how much the Japanese dislike the Koreans (despite Korea itself being a top travel destination for the Japanese).

It also has a lot of Japanese living there. I think over half of the population on Hawaii is Asian,, with Native Hawaiian and White being the most prominent minority. Asians are literally the majority race on Hawaii, and most of those Asians are specifically Japanese-American.

Mexican here, I prefered and loved the setting to be in Hawaii, since it's one of the best places to visit.

If we have a chance to have a new game settled in any other not-so-common country, like Chile, India, Australia, or any other, I'll be ok, and if it happens in Mexico, I'm ok with it.
