Interesting enough, if I'm not mistaken, they mention Sinnoh in the new Pikachu's live action trailer, don't they?
And Ryme City (the city where the game is played and where the movie will go) is inspired by London, right?
And I found this in Bulbapedia's page about Ryme City: "Although its location relative to other regions is unknown, the mention of Pokémon Trainers, Pokémon Rangers, Pokémon Contests, and the Alola region indicate that it is located in the same world as the core series games".
Many people think that the next region could be inspired by England, and that later we would have the remakes of Sinnoh.
Knowing the form of marketing of the TPC, what would be the chances of them being promoting two things in a single shot with this live action in 2019?
The only thing I find unlikely about all this is that from what I sought on Detective Pikachu's staff, no significant member of Game Freak had any relevant participation in the game. Unless they have previously telled to Detective Pikachu's staff about which region the next core games would be inspired, what I still think is a bit unlikely, but interesting enough to think about.
Taking into account the information we have so far (mentioned in the post in the spoiler above), and the similarity with the UK, I would say that there is a much better chance of being a region inspired by that, than being something "off the curve" like Bahamas or Scandinavia...It looks much more with the UK format than the Bahamas or Scandinavia ones to me, as well.
But, I'm still not sure how important that map is. Has anyone checked if there are no other random maps somewhere in the game? (If there aren't others like that, it would be a very specific thing to be put alone in the game like that. So then, I would think the chances of having hidden intentions behind that map would be increased.)
Still, some things don't fit. I was told that Ryme City is inspired by Boston with some littles London inspirations only. (I'm not sure since I didn't play the Detective Pikachu game, and despite this, the live action was filmed in London).
And we have other references besides this map of Let's Go to take into consideration, as Ryuki.
Personally, I would like a region inspired by Spain this time. But UK would be nice too.
