I really overdid it coming up with ideas, but if you have the time, I'd encourage you to read through it:
Base Concept:
>Pokémon Body and Mind
>Region mainly takes place around Lake Michigan (DLC or future games would include other regions around the other Great Lakes). It goes as far east as Detroit and as far west as The Dells.
>Body legendary is a Steel/Fighting-type robot-esque golem (representing Nanabozho/Wiske). It has generally well-rounded stats with really high attack and defense with an ability that cuts all damage it receives from special attacks (Enduring Spirit). It represents the strength inherently found in all people.
>Mind legendary is a Ghost/Fairy-type windigo (yeah yeah I get it, it's been meme'd to death, but it's probably the most thematic legendary for this area). It has generally well-rounded stats with really high special attack and special defense with an ability that cuts all damage it receives from physical attacks (Incorporeal). It represents the knowledge and wisdom people acquire over the course of their life.
>Evil team attempts to pit trainers against each other based on what Pokémon they use, and inevitably creates an anti-social and aggressive atmosphere among people in the region, making them more likely to battle you if you say something they don't like. They do this to profit off the tribalism, and fund their efforts to summon the box legendaries, and you side with the one that matches your game (you can choose whether or not you want to use it, but you can't catch it until later) and fight the big boss who has the other legend once you beat the champion in order to roll credits.
