I don't think that Meania will be the region name because the region names almost always have an "o" in them. Even then, the one exception (Isshu) was changed in the international versions to a name with an "o" in it (Unova).

Meania is the Italian name.In Italian,Unova is Unima.So the name could be different in English,with an O.

I wonder how the pokemon variants would work. Theoretically, yes you could make the Spinda mechanic work for anything, but the thing is creating the resources for it. We're talking have movable patterns (or at least a reskin) mappable to other pokemon. That could become extremely resource heavy.

I don't think it would work. That would be so many models GF would have to program into the game and it would just be too much.

They don't have to alter the model, just the skin. Although I don't know how the Spinda spots work now as a skin really.

Sorry but I can't see any hint on the eevee banner. If you look carefully you can see that sometimes a single character is made for a single eevolution (vaporeon; Jolteon; Espeon) while sometimes for more then one (flareon and umbreon or leafeon and glaceon or glaceon and sylveon) .So the last "3" characters can point to 3 to 7 eevolutions. It will be a miracle if we get one more eevolution but 3 to 7 is just dreaming. Also those last characters are Eevee name so maybe this is why is not coloured differently.
The only true hint I can find is that eevee is getting special attention so maybe a new eeveelution is possible.

Still can't debunk the Italian translator's leak.
The way he describes how translation teams work, is very similar to what the Riddler said.
And... I don't think I have translated that into English.

Also, he didn't say Sri Lanka. He only mentioned the food, Kottu.
Kottu is popular in South India too.
South India makes a lot of sense because Nintendo is currently negotiating Switch games with multiple Indian game devs.
Nintendo wants games for the Switch developed by Indians.
Moreover, Ryuki (the one you battle in the Kantonian gym) seems to hint at India.
I think the existence of Ryuki is foreshadowing.
Yeah I can see that happening.

I get a feeling that most people here are against the idea of a Sri Lankan/Indian region, but I think that it would be great since the culture is so rich, colourful and vibrant, plus would make an amazing region, and a nice change in pace from American, Japanese and European regions.

I think we are getting new eeveelutions, hopefully a dragon or steel one!

Why does Pokenchi always manage to be so dissapointing?
I don't think a variety show is the best place to expect new information to drop. Just being honest.

Off-topic comment related to Pokenchi: why would you use Heavy Slam on a Buzzwole? I know Mudsdale is heavier, but that swole mosquito is pretty bulky when it comes to the Defense stat.

So when is Zeroara gonna be revealed?
Not sure. Maybe it'll become the next Eternal Flower Floette (except it actually get retconned out of the data in future generations).

I have nothing against an indian/sri lanka oriented game. I mean I know that it could be great on the culture part. My only concern is that Sri lanka is just a blob island in shape, not exactly the greatest playthrough. If it's India + Sri lanka It would be ok for me.

Well, im liking the idea of a Spain region because im spanish and it's my childhood's dream, but a Indian one also will be very nice. My problem come with Sri Lanka, because I think that India has more potential with it's diversity of biomes and it's beautiful temples/cities, but Sri Lanka... IDK, it just demotivates me.

Well either way I'm still pretty sure we're getting really close to SOMETHING being shown. It could be Zeraora or something else. Between my sources getting intel that Zeraora will be shown sometime during the Chinese New year and Desdar300 hearing that the Pokemon Centers are plotting something secret I feel like we're only a week or so away from hearing something.

Zeraora does not exist. Zeraora is just in our mind. Zeraora is GF trying to drive us crazy. Zeraora is pure evil.
I swear I wish it was never added to pokemon.
Watch Zeraora turn out to be nothing but Game Freak trolling us, just like how they kept AZ's Floette in the code and even updated its signature move despite not planning to do anything with it.
