>>57241339I think the “every region has a real world basis” idea has run its course. Every region outside of Japan has come up short on capturing its real world counterpart.
Id do more fantasy shit like Chargestone Cave or Area Zero, it doesnt even need to be that wacky either since its supposed to be more grounded but just SOMETHING to make the region stand out more. You can still make the region shaped like a real world province if you don’t want to retcon the globe thing.
I don’t get why people care about the real world basis anymore, what do you get? a couple pokemon lines and some themed cities. Its way more of an anchor than a boon nowadays.
