(Future) Gen 9 Region

[RC821]

For the next generation after Gen 8, I want the region to be based on Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Saint Pierre and Miquelon, it would be a mixture of Unova, Kalos and Galar.

I like the idea of predicting future Pokemon regions.

Alaska is one of my top picks along with Southeast Asia, Australia, Scandinavia, Greece, Italy, Egypt, Texas, West Africa, India, Mexico, Argentina and (bias coming...) New England.

I've always desired a cold/Scandinavian region. It's just such an underrepresented region idea in media altogether. People usually want to see tropical locations with sunny beaches instead and I can't say I understand that at all.

Nevertheless, I don't think that it will happen in Gen IX. I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to a more Eastern region for Generation IX.

India would have everything for a Pokémon region: jungles, deserts, mountains, major population centers, beaches, and a lot of lore to draw from. If there's ever an open-world Pokémon game, India would probably be the optimal choice for a region. The one thing it's missing, though, is a volcanic area.

Iceland is another good idea, but it would be considerably smaller of a region. Still though, varied geography, Norse-inspired lore, and providing the variety of a colder region would still make it a memorable one.

They could mash up a few locations to make up a new location, or be a bit more au-ish or fantasy?
Like you could have a region thats like Mexico if the Aztec culture was kept.
Or you could have a region that was invaded by aliens and now has some influence from them.
Or one where everything looks more steampunk or futuristic or high fantasy or whatever.

A few times ago I had an idea of a region that was divided into two sides with different color schemes and based on different places, and that each side was owned by a different royal family, but the two royal families were rivals to each other.

Honestly, I feel like a good one would be a futuristic region, where the region is in the skies. There is a huge barrier around the area and the only reason people and pokemon can live here is that circulated air from the main planet, pokemon being rescued from the main planet, and artificial plants. Nobody knows of the outside except for officials (Gym Leaders, Champions), the professor, the evil team, and politicians.

I got the idea for in the skies from an old Fan Pokemon Game on Roblox and the barrier from The Giver

Maybe it is too early to think about the 9th gen but I would like it to be set in New Zealand. I love New Zealand with its mountains, landscapes and beaches. Alternatively maybe South America with Ande, Amazzonia and Rio de Janeiro.

 

[MrMeowPuss]

I’d personally like to see them create their own region from scratch, without taking influence from an existing location.

The thing I liked best about the first four regions is how they were all connected. For the next region I’d like to see them work on something that can be connected to future regions and be one big continent of sorts.

 

[Daenerys]

It'd be nice if they just went back to basing Pokemon regions on prefectures of Japan since they still have like 30% of the country left to cover.

 

[FelipePR]

I would like a more Desertic and Arabic region. Dry landscapes and bountiful oasis cities.

For the next generation after Gen 8, I want the region to be based on Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Saint Pierre and Miquelon, it would be a mixture of Unova, Kalos and Galar.

Seems a little, you know, big

Seems a little, you know, big

They could drop it into roughly Unova\Kalos size and say it's just north of Unova and there's nothing much between them. Something like this:

I'd like to see a Region based on China. <3

 

[Myth]

I do think it will be Australia or China.

 

[RileyXY1]

I'd like to see a Region based on China. <3

That's what I'm thinking. A region based on China would be awesome.

 

[prog rocker]

I would like a region based on Central/South America, Africa or non-Japan Asia. Then again, I think Africa will be off-limits for now.

 

[TheGoldenToon]

I'd really love it if they made a region based of Greece or Italy! Seriously, I can see a lot of potential with the architecture, the Pokemon, the music, it could all be very beautiful.

Regions based off Egypt and South America sounds cool too.

 

[RileyXY1]

I myself am thinking that the Gen 9 region is based on China.

 

[DynamicFusion]

I do think Australia/New Zealand is the most likely. But I would love to see one based on the Middle East. Desert Areas would be cool.

 

[MizuTaipu]

Greece would be nice, but I suppose it could be too similar to Hoenn with the Aegean Sea and all of its islands. I wouldn't mind it being Japan-based again; I wouldn't want the franchise to be caught in a cycle of alternating U.S. and European-based regions.
