>>27817843Lets say Galopagos Island, with a big unexplored theme. No traditional starter town; instead, you come on a boat like the SS Anne that serves as the starter town. In the second town is the only real city on the island that serves as a resourt/tourist spot, and you meet a pokemon researcher who asks you to go out and catalogue the pokemon on the island for him. Each following city is just a base camp with some crucial research location or something vital like a power plant or radio tower. Challenge the strongest there for gym/research badge or something. Eventually at the fifth badge get surf and explore the other islands, while learning about pokemon that grew up without humans.
Local team wants to kick humans out of the islands before they destroy the eco-system, frequently try to sabotage stuff to make it unlivable for humans. Team leader is the guy who discovered the islands and laments telling the world about it. Culminates with trying to destroy the resort/port harbor.
Legendary Pokémon is probably a Lugia or something, hinted at from the temples found on small islands that explain the history of the islands. Mini quest to find journals from the original explorers, probably get them as part of the 'gym' challenge. Rival is a person who needs to learn humans and pokemon in harmony. Would acorns/acorn balls be a good thing to reintroduce to the game since it's only gen 3?
