>>51262758Sounds cool, I'd certainly like to explore the wild areas surrounding a metropolis like that.
Maybe a region based on the Korean peninsula, and the central city is where Seoul is?
I'd be interested to see what you could pull off in recreating the feeling of Seoul at night with the GBA's hardware.
If you're gonna add any Fakemons, here's a scrapped electric tiger Pokémon (Picrel) that GF passed over in Gens 1 and 2. Seems like a great electric type to conveniently be encounterable near a Flying or Water Gym. Probably a bulky Physical Attacker (If you're including Physical/Special Split, if not then it should be a Special Attacker)
I'm just shooting ideas at you, but maybe as a post game area, waaaaay off in the top right corner of the map, a mountain inspired by Mount Paektu and the old myths surrounding it.
For an Evil Team, if you don't care about offending anyone, you could base them off the North Korean Army. I think a Pokémon battle with (obviously renamed) Kim Jong Un could be serious Kino if you treat it like a genuine threat and don't drown it in cheap humor.
That last bit I said gave me another Fakemon idea for you. A Pokémon that resembles a little toy rocket, and evolves into one based on a missile. Goes from Normal/Fire to Steel/Fire on the way.
If you start making the hack, do post about it on this board, I genuinely like a concept like that.
