That's like comparing Manhatten to Native Reserves

Definitely would as long as it wasn't too stereotypical. There is a point where it gets weird as it becomes a caracature of what it could have rightfully been, and that's inappropriate and seriously underwhelming. Although tropes are essentially stereotyping, being grossly inaccurate of the actual region just goes down sour.

What makes you think they won't accurately represent it, like Kalos. If Kalos was 40% brown npcs what makes you think anywhere will be white?

You wouldn't want to play a pokemon game based off a reservation anon, they suck pretty bad.

>>31387093
How could they have been "inadvertently" racist to Hawaiians? I'm actually curious.
>>
If gen 8 was based around Native Americans

Starters
>Grass/Flying type Squirrel (No, Chespin was not a squirrel)
>Water/Dark type Orca/Killer Whale
>Fire/Rock type Goat/Ram

Legendaries (Hard to think of these)
>A Bison
>A wolf/coyote
>A phoenix/thunderbird (Looks Mayan)
>>
What about this, a Canada based region. The desert in this one would be a play on the tundra instead of a hot desert, an entire urban city island, a large grassland area, a dark forest maze, two (2!) Mountains and vastly different cultures shown in different areas. This would also give us a moose pokemon.
>>
>>31387725
Fire starter should be Fire/Ice Bear

>No Wendigo mewtwo clone
Wew
>>
As long as the game isn't oversaturated with constant reminders that the region is based on Native Americans, I'm all for it.

(Serioisly, what the fuck was up the devs and Alola? I get it, it's supposed to be Hawaii. Was Kalos like that with France?)

Mexico would be positively perfect for a region, but the japanese are too racist to consider it. They probably don't consider Mexicans people.

>>31389765
The new Mario is taking place in Mexicans. And loads of Japanese men think learning flamenco guitar makes them sexy and cultured or something.

Box legend could be fire/water. Legendary trio could be steel/electric(acdc), steel/ghost(slayer), and steel/rock(metallica).

They're all out of Japan to hide in. They did Hawaii (Japanese home away from home). If pokemon keeps selling (it will), someday they'll basically HAVE to make a central/south america based region.
>>
Next game will begin to develop a dating simulator.
>>
>>31389826
The Japanese don't consider the Japanese who live in Hawaii people either, so maybe this is a step in the direction of a game in a SA-based region.

Most likely, based on tourist traffic in no particular order

>>
>>31389884
At this point fictional would not be cool. Maybe before Unova, but they can't do real world locations 8 times, then decide to go fictional
>>
>>31387031
>>31386991
At first I took this as a joke, but now I want to see Ancient Pokemon as well as earlier forms of already existing Pokemon.

As far as how the game would work, fuck if I know. The Pokemon universe is so dependent on technology that it would be hard to collect Pokemon without a PC or Pokeballs. Everything would have to be ALIEN TECHNOLOGY or something along those lines.

They could do it. Use a Pelago clone as your box, apricorns as balls, overworld Chansey or whatever to heal you.
>>
I'd love an African region just to trigger all the racists on this board.
>>
>>31388268
Well, if you're just looking for an ethnically Chinese place they could always just base a region off Taiwan or Singapore.

Hell they could base a region off HK.

There probably won't be a region based off any of the other East Asian/SEA countries for another couple decades desu

Mount Kilimanjaro in Pokémon would be awesome.
>>
>>31387093
It's a bit different. Hawaii thrives off of its stereotypes and such because they live most of them. There's also the huge tourism trade involved in their day-to-day lives.

While Natives themselves probably wouldn't be too offended (usually unless somebody is fucking with land or directly going against one of the tribe's laws, it's only the youth that get up in arms about "slights"), it'd be really easy to present shit in a bad way.

Plus, like another anon said, reservations are shit. There's really nothing there.

Would you be okay if instead of a modern setting, they based a Pokemon region off a historical or mythical setting?
>>
>>31392708
Literally my mom's Pokemon Conquest.
>>
>>31392744
yeah but what if they did it for a game that's actually good
>>
>>31386902
It would have to be really well researched and culturally respectful if it has any chance of avoiding a huge negative backlask.
But if they DID do that, and made Pokemon based on native American folklore and myth with as much thought into them as they put into yokai based and other Japanese mythology Pokemon, I would be both pleased and impressed.

Conquest was fucking awesome.

I think a mainline game of a historical setting would be grating though. Pokemon sort of thrives on feeling like it takes place twenty years into the future at all times.

As for mythical setting, I mean, how do you make it more mythical than it already is with Pokemon and people with actual psychic powers running around? Is it going to add to the game that much if there's like a fucking wizard? And adding fantasy races would seem weird because right now the world works where there's "humans" and then everything that isn't a human is a "Pokemon".

>>31392762
Okay, kill yourself.
>>
>>31392771
Conquest was alright, it was way too simple and easy though IMO. An SRPG Pokemon is actually a great concept but Conquest didn't really use the idea to the fullest.

Also I just meant having locations based off historical/mythical places (By mythical I mean like Atlantis and such btw). They don't need to take out the 20-minutes-into-the-future feel, but they can have locations based off historical locations which no longer exist or have been destroyed etc.

Hell, even mixing that with what they're doing now would work IMO.

>>31386902
Is there really a region for that? All I can imagine in a game is that some wandering tribe complain that their homeland is now made up of many cities and the tribe unfortunately ends up being the bad guys who wants to take back their lands from their oppressors. The settlers fight back claiming it is their land. Holy shit, it's now 3000 years ago. You are playing as a young AZ as main character.

In the past they used other methods to catch Pokemon. You had the objects that the ancient Alakazam and Gengar were in, the bottle Hoopa was in. They had their methods, I just doubt they were able to be mass produced.
