Pokken Tournament DX trailer drop a big hint that Pokemon Gen 8 will base on Vietnam. The location in this trailer is definitely shoot in Vietnam. Maybe Gamefreak change their pattern to Asia this time.
This trailer gave me Nam flashbacks.

Is Vietnam a popular travel destination for japanese people? I mean until now the regions outside Japan have been just places Masuda and friends traveled to in their vacations.

Maybe the world today is so cruel. Terrorist and war is almost everywhere. So they want to base on Vietnam to remind everyone not to use violent..... peace

I think it doesn't matter about popularity. So many gen base on western. I think they want to change perspective to Asia this time.

No I just mean that the guys at Game Freak need to actually travel to these countries before making the games, so I think it'd be unlikely for them to create a region based on some shithole in the middle of nowhere.
Buuut, I just checked and Nam is actually pretty popular with nips, surprisingly even more than France, which doesn't even appear in the list

So I could definitely see a region based on Vietnam/other SEA countries happening soon

You'll never know that Gamefreak team ever visit vietnam or not. They can just send their team without Masuda or any producer. So people won't get notice by follow Masuda twitter.

they send Masuda to Alaska and the rest of the team to Vietnam to confuse us
