I can't see Sri Lanka being the region. So far all the regions have been Japanese, or places Japanese people like to visit. I believe Masuda stated that specifically when talking about why they choose Hawaii and before that France.

I could be wrong, but I don't think many Japanese people visit India, certainly not Sri Lanka, they're not really places I imagine Japanese fans being interested in. I think Spain, the UK and Italy remain the top 3 contenders.
I see the point you're trying to make but I don't think Gamefreak is that much concerned with creating a region that's a carbon copy of the real-life location it is based on (as TheMonster6893 already pointed out). They can freely insert some more recognisable elements to keep it interesting. For example, Alola had Malie City which was heavily inspired by Johto (aka Japan). Also, the choice of new Pokemon can help with it. For example, Kalos (based on France) had a Pokemon based on a frill-necked lizard while Alola (based on Hawaii) had a Pokemon based on koala and red panda. They can definitely play around that.

You kidding? There're tons of people that want to see India. I sure want to.

So, after the Italian translator leak and the @lavandula one, we can now triangulate some infos.
I've also noticed that a particular leak on the OP, now, is gaining in some way points.

i'm talking about the Anonymus Leak 2017.
this is the points that now can be seen under a new light:

  • US/UM are being kept under wraps because their plot connects directly into these games <= Giovanni in USUM clearly says he will return really soon, so this is a high probability
  • This is a re-imagination of the first Generation 1 games and features a redesigned Red and a new blonde girl who retcons Leaf from canon <= many people now are talking about a sort of "reboot" or something similar, very nostalgic.
  • Your rival is a Gary/Blue clone who's gender matches yours <= we know, thanks to @lavandula that Blue is in the game. If he is a she, she will called Blue/Green anyway.
  • New Pokemon variant called Clone Pokemon and they are based on the Mewtwo clones in the Anime. These are obtainable from the Mew/Mewtwo side quests <= thanks to the Italian leak we know they have added a sort of "spinda mechanic" to make more variety of pokemons. So maybe different sizes of bulbasaur, or some color-variant of some sort--- or, as spinda, different markings, like the clone pokemon in the movie!

For a minute I panicked and thought you were the OP VelVoxelRaptor (you guys have the same default ? icon). I think that the Anonymous Leak 2017 is fake and that it's probably just a mere coincidence that it is lining up with some information that we've been recently told by @lavandula. If you look at the OP's collected assortment of "leaks", there are tons of "leaks" that tell of a return of Kanto. They're all probably fake and a mere coincidence. Not to mention, not one of them lines up with each other. Proabably just a bunch of people writing fanfics. At least I hope and pray that they are. I DO NOT WANT a return to Kanto! I'd rather have a game with a new region and new Pokémon that is blinded completely by nostaligia than have the games set in the Kanto region itself. I just hate the Kanto region that much. Game Freak has been catering too much to older fans and there was way too much Kanto pandering in Generations 6 and 7. It's time that they do something new.

How do you know that? It's not confirmed. Also, a Japan based region had a French-inspired regional dish and a Hawaii based region had a Portugese-inspired regional dish.
If you’re talking about the Old Gateau, I just want to let you know that it’s called the Moro no Yokan, which is a Japanese based food. I think that they changed it from Yokan to Gateau because English speaking audiences wouldn’t know what Yokan is. It’s just like how they changed the Ikari no Manju to the Rage Candy bar since English speaking audiences wouldn’t know what Manju is. I also heard that the prototype name for the Rage Candy bar was the Cake of Rage. Another thing is that even though Malasada is Portuguese, it’s a popular food in Hawaii. This doesn’t disprove the region being based off of Sri Lanka or Southeast Asia.

I think that you should stop treating leaks like they're confirmed information to avoid confusing people. An India based region is not confirmed so stop acting like it is.

By cancelled, you mean archived as in you're no you're longer allowed to post to the thread. That happens fairly often. But I have to give him major props. It's the most believable leak that we've seen on here so far.

I wasn’t treating it like the leaks were real. They could be real or they could be fake. I was just saying that the food thing was due to either localizations or international foods could be popular in another country. I even said that the leaks could be real or fake, I wasn’t treating them like they were actual facts.

Very very frightening!

So becaise I’m bad at it until after the fact, we’re supposed to get something about Pokémon this weekend right?
I think so, either today or tomorrow, whenever Pokenchi airs

Edit: Nevermind someone already mentioned this
