For those who wanted a UK region, what are your thoughts on it now?

Aside from the wild area I like aesthetically, but god the lack of dungeons really fucking sucks

I'm a bong and nothing about this region feels british
I can't even read most of the dialogue in my own accent, it only makes sense in the most cartoonishly ridiculous British accent that puts Austin Powers to shame
And the dex doesn't feel british either. The Unova dex still feels more British that half of these monstrosities.

It was good but like all 3D games felt unfinished. I liked Motostoke and the forests, had a lot of charm. Anons brush over the locales all the time.

As a Brit its just kinda shitty. They did copy and paste Oxford Street into the game which is nice as a Londoner.

Stoutland
Sawsbuck
Pidove

Litwick

All feel like they could fit in an English setting.
In Galar it's only really Thievul and Wooloo lines that fit

I'm honestly pretty upset by the entire thing now that we've had 9 months to digest it.

The region is pretty to look at, but completely devoid of life and anything to do. No reason to return anywhere other than the Wild Area.

The distribution of Pokemon also didn't make sense... like... Why Golett, Sigilyph, Baltoy, and a bunch of other lines? Yet no Lillipup, Deerling, Pidove lines??? Lots of stuff that could be associated with the UK origins, but they wanted to lick Turner's boot instead....

I hate how they ignored the midlands. It's such a cliche thing for foreign media set in the UK to do - they had more north representation than expected, but the rest was "England is London lol". I'm mad that Birmingham, the second city, wasn't even in the fucking game since Hammerlocke has barely anything to do with it.

The most accurate thing was the inside of the trains, absolutely bang on. Also the fact they get delayed for stupid reasons, also completely true to life.

Or rather, "England is South England, fuck everything else". They did a good job with Bath, for example.

Honestly what's with the baseball throws too?
I'm not into cricket, and think it's fairly gay, but cricket throws would make more sense than the baseball throws the NPC's do during the game.

Wyndon should have been based off of kettering.

Any reference to the north should have been removed as poortherners are worthless subhumans

Wales had 4 areas, and Scotland had 1 in the DLC.
c'mon now, what's the point of the bagpipes, scottish NPC, and only 1 area.

That DLC isn't even released, and do they think we live in Greenland? Scotland isn't that fucking snowy.

Should have been one Prince/King called Arthur.
He just controlled the two legendaries, the fact the player can not is because they aren't as legendary as King Arthur.
Boom I made the game better.

I came up with a British themed Gym set back before SWSH was even announced (at the time it was hinted that the region would be Britain-inspired but nothing officially revealed). I feel like I put more thought into this than GF did the real thing.

I've made a few revisions since then to add some Gen 8 Pokemon and change the League. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out (except the names, which are all uninspired placeholder trash)

Why would an archbishop use dragons when the bible has people killing dragons, and "the devil" himself being a dragon?

>>44161683
idk I think that's overthinking it, it's still the Pokemon universe so Christianity and the Bible doesn't really exist.
It's just the ideas of St George, dragons and the Church of England mashed up into one powerful looking final Gym leader. Besides, capturing and taming dragons to use in battle could be seen as 'conquering' them in just the same way slaying them is.

Maybe, but I think a user of evil would be seen as evil, not sure on the church opinion though.

Yeah but again, it's an in-universe Pokemon church, not the real Church of England. It just borrows a few motifs from the real thing
They wouldn't need to think Dragons are evil. Their 'St George' story could just be about a guy that captured a Dragon and used it to fight evil, rather than a guy who killed an evil dragon.
