>>38415423>Illinois>First four gyms pretty generic in setting, one's a farm village like Solaceon Town, one's in a forest, one has a lake nearby, etc.>After the fourth gym, then you hit the inner city, where the environments become dismal and the characters become rather depressed or aggressive. Even those gym leaders are somewhat depressed.>Environment contains many poison types, and many of the new Pokemon are unique poison, bug, or grass dual-typings.>The evil team appears as a government organization that appears like it's helping those in need, but is actually just using them to fuel their scheme to take over the world with [Native American-Inspired Box Legendaries].>Has first ever dark-type gym built all around subverting expectations (Pokemon with prankster, unlikely coverage moves, or PI-level strategies).Eighth gym is the heart of Chicago, where all the event stuff and dept. store are.
League is in Navy Pier, but without the Ferris wheel.
>First "African American"/black champion, either inspired by Michael Jordan or Obama. Uses mostly swamp-like Pokemon (Poison, grass, bug, or dark-types only, including poison-type pseudo.)>Postgame is just exploring hundreds of miles of prairie or Lake Michigan (finally the open world we've hoped for). Mfw I'd like it, but everyone else would hate it.
