>>31320659Ok lads, rate my thoughts on making better in-universe flags:
Kanto:
>Japanese flag, but replacing the red dot with a Voltorb.This is due to Kanto being mostly industrialized, with it's huge power plant being one of its only claim to fame. It's one of the Regions most closely inspired by Japan. Having a flag based on a Pokémon that has existed for centuries, rather than the semi-recent PokéBall invention, makes sense too.
>Alternatively, something purple because the Region is themed on the colour Indigo, not R/B/Y/GJohto:
>This should absolutely be something rainbow coloured.But at the risk of making it look like the gay pride flag, you could instead simply have the flag be the Rainbow Wing on white, like Canada.
>inb4 Canada Flag IS gay pride flagHoenn:
>TrumpetsJust kidding, I couldn't give a fuck about Hoenn, and there's nothing interesting lore wise to me that would make sense as a flag. Maybe Regigigas's Dots or something.
Sinnoh:
>Arceus's MarkingEither the markings of Arceus, or something reminiscent of the platform at Sinjoh?
Unova:
>Yin/Yang?I actually really like the humorous USA flag in the OP, but there's something missing from it. I feel like it need to be reworked (or scrapped entirely) in favor of something showcasing the Yin/Yang.
Kalos:
>PerfectI unironically like this one, and if any of these flags should look closer to the IRL version, its the French one. Plus, this one actually makes sense for it to have a PokéBall on it, because Kalos is where the PokéBall Factory is.
Alola:
>Change the background?I get the theme of these flags was to use the colors of the versions of the Gens, but it just doesn't work, especially for Alola. The Sun/Moon symbols being mixed is great, but the back should be changed to a rainbow, or instead something representing the 4 Guardians, or even just the kinds of patterns thats on the guardians.
r8 my ideas. Also suggestions for Orre/The Ranger Regions? Sinjoh?
