Not sure if I would call this proper. I've always wanted a Pokemon game of this scale, but so far this looks like it'll be a proof of concept more than anything. Seeing the Pokemon world before modernity is a neat concept, but the cynic in me is almost certain that they're doing it for the sake of simplicity. IE they don't have to design an actual world.
Sinnoh had a-lot of really cool places to draw from, like Snowpoint Temple, Solaceon Ruin, Turnback Cave, the haunted mansion in Eterna Forest, etc. etc. If it's mostly wilderness then they can just ape Zelda and call it a day.
I'm more interested in what future games will look like desu.
