>>45588973> I personally think it'd be strange to go with literally just Tohoku since Kanto and Johto cover more than one region of Japan iircYou're right, Kanto and Johto both take parts of southern Chubu and Johto also covers a tiny slice of eastern Shikoku (plus Kanto has the Izu and Bonin islands in gen 3), but Tohoku is pretty big by Japanese standards, plus there's a slice of northern Chubu that isn't claimed by any other region, so hypothetically you could just lump the two together the same way Kanto and Johto did. To be honest though I was thinking of narrowing it down to Aomori specifically and just say that it's in the same vague middle of nowhere between Johto and Sinnoh as the Sinjoh Ruins, and no one has ever heard of it because there aren't enough people there to sustain a pokemon league lol
>I'm curious if they're supposed to also be someone who lived in antiquity or if you're just using a historical profession for the characterThe latter, though PTU does have a fantasy supplement so I guess I could do either! Pokemon is pretty friendly to anachronisms, plus I feel like the tradition might have survived into the modern age if there were as many ghosts with insane powers wandering around as there are in the Pokemon world.
