I think generation 8 is in China

>>33052862
SM added Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese as new languages.

>>33052862
Switch dev kits were sent out in 2015 too(Confirmed by SDK). And gamefreak talked about pokebank and the nx in 2015.

>Go to China
>all of the Pokemon are dead due to heavy pollution smog

>>33052862
PokéCommunism confirmed.

"The name's Ryuki. I'm what you might call a star. I mean, with partners like my Pokémon, how could I not be a star? I came all the way across the sea here to Alola to spread my fame out here, too! The whole world will be mine soon!"

Read the text and look at the image. It's so fucking clear

>>33053005
What if he's from Texas

>>33053025

Did you see the map?

It's very possible

>>33053091
>Texas and Hawaii aren't separated by sea
Woah, now I want to go on a hitchhiking trip

>>33053025
kek

>>33053005
This literally cannot be a coincidence. He's wearing red and yellow and the chinese flag is red and yellow

>>33052972
>race at unbelievable but no STAB

>>33054754
And china to Hawaii Is across the sea

>>33052919
This doesn't confirm China. Just that Gen 8 is in 2018

This Pokémon was introduced to the Alola region in an effort to control the Rattata population.

Imagine not wanting. China wall victory road

So, if we're assuming China...what kind of starters are we looking at? Maybe a Mongolian horse for the fire type? I mean, Alola's fire starter was based on a destructive invader (feral cats), why not continue the trend?

>>33054831
>China wall victory road
That sounds just like ORAS, though

There releasing the Magrena Volcanian movie in china this year. Definitely trying to get into that market

>>33054831
I think it would be the Battle Tower. Kinda like the Battle Subway. Every time you beat a trainer you move further up the wall. And after 7 trainers you'd reach a checkpoint.

A China-based region would be nice, but I always wanted a Mexico-inspired region with aztec/mayan temples & dungeons, deserts, mountains, jungles, cities, oceans, Mexico has it all

>>33054912
Mexico-inspired region could happen in one of the future generations of Pokémon.

>>33054846

Game freak will add all kinds of different Pokémon.

>terracota route

muh dick

You think they'd reference the Kowloon Walled City? It's gone now but it would be cool to see. The city kinda has kind of an underground post apocalyptic or scifi feel even though it was above ground.

>>33053005
Also he has a full dragon team and chinks love dragons.

>>33053025
Texas confirmed

>>33055033
He has drampa who is similer to Chinese dragon

>>33054831
So it'll be full of ghosts?

>>33054955
I hope so, China is a good choice too see
>>33054967
Ghost/Ground pokemon
>>33054831
Wall-inspired battle facility or wall-inspired victory road
legendary pokemon based on chinese lore
non-legendary pokemon based on china's flora/fauna

>>33054846
Hopefully a rabbit fire starter

>>33054817
We will get both in a future gen.

>>33054831
I guess we know what the next battle facility will be

>>33054967
Yeag just like how we got those French catacombs right?

I kinda hope he becomes a recurring character in the way that Looker did after Gen 4
Then again he'll probably be one-off and I'm just dreaming

fire/ground salamander
chinese water deer that evolves into a kirin
a grass panda perhaps?

Since GF usually does a trip prior to an area for research do we know of any places they've been to which could indicate the next region to be based off? Like actual evidence like we have had in the past?

>>33056265
I thunk they went to france in 2011. And new york too

>>33052862
Gina

>>33052976

Would GF still want to grace China with a region after some chinese translator leaked SM?

>>33057257
>Gen 8
>Another region
Stop this autism yungoos is 7th gen pokemon, generation doesn't mean the region. Oh pidgey must be from gen 9 because we see it in the same region as the other gen 9 pokemon
