>>33438929Seon would mean a lot of things, whether fresh or first amongst others. In fact it is in the name JoSeon (a name our country used to bear, but now North Korea takes that name). Guk obviously means Nation, so it would be a very obvious name to what it refers to. It is a nice name and I do like it. Our country first
... reunification when ㅠㅠWe have similar heroes, like Yi Sun Shin, the naval captain who thwarted Japanese invasion, can be represented by a common hero both sides look up to in the game. A popular folktale is the founder of the country is a divine king named Dangun, so a lot of common origins could also appeal in some form, maybe a great dragon mon to represent it since this is a Pogeymanz game. Fear of foreigners imposing their rule or something does not even have to be present, I think, but that was one thing that crossed my mind.
I still have to wonder about the legendaries though. What could be minor legendaries, or if the "Cheonji monster" is the prime legendary and the southern half makes an artificial beast as a foil with counterpart stats, which could be cool, or take an old fossil mon and modify it with modern technology so it is still part of the "trio". I don't know. I could easily just suggest a four quadrant Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger, but I think that may suit China more.
In the end, it would be questionable that Gamefreak, a Japanese company, and a country Korea swore to hate due to history, would even think about making a Korea base region.
