if they do a Indian region hope they don't use hindu gods as a Pokemon. it would be distasteful
I mean, they made Pokemon out of other gods. And Hoopa Unbound might be based off of Shakti.

Toronto/Ontario/Canada could make a really good region.
I live in all three locations (simultaneously, even) and I can tell you know that this country is a cold, lifeless wasteland where hope goes to die. The only interesting place is the McDonald's just up the street from my house.

The Pokemon games tend to not have religion involved to avoid offending people and creating bad PR. That's one of my reasons why I think that Meania is not happening.

I mean we literally have a Pokemon based on the Christian god. It's not like they have dabbled with deities before

Actually, Arceus was based off Shinto gods, Kunitokotachi and Amenominakanushi who summoned Izanami and Izanagi to create Japan with the spear. Hence, why the event for Arceus took place at Spear Pillar. It may also be a reference to the qilin, a Chinese mythical creature.*Its myth is nearly identical to the Cosmic egg, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, who, in Buddhism, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a white, four-armed manifestation (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

Quoting these from Bulbapedia:

Machamp: Seeing as it has more than two arms and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps Shiva or Vishnu.

Infernape: It is also similar to the Vanara, a race of ape-like humanoids in the Hindu epic Ramayana, specifically Hanuman who was granted immunity to fire.

I hope that the Italian translator leak is real. Please be real! The region being not Kanto is enough for me to want to be real to be honest. I also like how the new battle system is just regulated to an "Arena" and not the main gimmick of the game apparently. What do you think @lavandula? Do you think it's real based off of all the latest information that was posted to Page 1 of this thread? Also, what do you guys think?

Pokemon with different sizes, mabye spots, and different size body parts

Like a small chespin with big ears, a big chespin with small arms, a chespin with an orange shell, inc
I think that would be great as it would create individualism for pokemon.
I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to add costumes for pokemon, something akin to complay Pikachu.

Maybe it's real.
He said so many things on how translation teams work, and I cannot debunk any of them.
They are all correct.
The things he leaked does not contradict with any of my info neither.

Just as Ma71534132
s Portuguese but popular in Hawaii, quick bit of research into Kottu or whatever it's called and it's popular in Toronto, Canada.

Toronto/Ontario/Canada could make a really good region.
This reminds of this:
Gen 8 based on Canada - Pokemon Sun Message Board for 3DS - GameFAQs
This is the same guy that rightly predicted gen 7... 7th Gen Will Be Based Off Hawaii - Pokemon Omega Ruby Message Board for 3DS - GameFAQs
We might be on to something...

That's good to hear! I honestly hope it's real. The region not being in Kanto is enough for me. Haha. And it also seems like it matches up with Pixelpar's info, or rather, the info he shared from the Pokémon Company International's job listings and them wanting European translations for a Pokémon game to be completed between April and June. They will undergo localization editing. The editors are being hired on a minimum 6 month contract. This also goes in line with the Italian translator's line of thinking that their contracts may be terminated in the Summer.

I know you and me don't agree on this, but I honestly think Pixelpar was just asking an innocent question when he said "What would your reaction be if Pokémon Switch turned out to be an early gen rework?" While your sources did say the games would be loaded with Kanto references and you also mentioned that Blue/Green would be in the games, that doesn't mean it's going to necessarily take place in Kanto. At least I'm hoping and praying. I just simply hate Kanto that much. Lol. I really don't want the games to take place in Kanto. Please for the love of Mr. Satoshi Tajiri, don't do this!

Hmmm I could have sworn there at least some Christianity going on somewhere in there, but maybe not. Well either way it's not their first time dabbling in religious gods so it's not like going into the Hindu faith will automatically be "offensive".

I hope that the Italian translator leak is real. Please be real! The region being not Kanto is enough for me to want to be real to be honest.

Honestly with everything that we've seen from trusted sources it's not too out there he might in fact be real. Like Lavandula said nothing he said has contradicted what we've heard and on top of that he's been both consistent and realistic in what he's said. Again idk why you keep harping on it not being Kanto. It's already been explained that the region won't be Kanto and that the only reason some potential sources thought it might be was because they saw a decent amount of references to it. You keep acting like the info we keep getting is pointing to a return to Kanto when in fact nothing at all leads us to believe that. lol

In any event the Italian translator rumor is quite interesting. His ability to keep his facts straight and be consistent in what he says leads me to think he very well might be real. If he isn't then he's done not only his homework, but also is being VERY careful and detailed when posting. He's not just posting willy nilly anyway. If what he says is true we may in fact see an announcement very soon.

IF the leaker is not making up stuff then we are heading to another island. He said "A big island is part (or the whole) of the regione. There is a massive jungle."

I still think that if he's real then the region won't solely be an island. I think there will definitely be a mainland of some sort.

Kottu,being an island and jungles are all Sri Lanka traits.He mentioned something about a peninsula too,could be that you start in Sri Lanka and eventually go to South India too.

Some of his points just don't make sense.Then again his Gen 7 Hawaii theory was the same,right?
