Florida is so fucking boring geographically wise.
Just a straight line
At least Italy has more interesting features

Something tropical i guess.
But honestly, i'm tired of regions based on irl countries.

I want them to go back to doing obscure small-scale regions like in the first 4 gens. Trying to compact a big-ass country into a single region results in tons of potentially interesting stuff being sidelined as map filler (e.g. the entire south-west of england and most of wales being inaccessible in swsh). Here are my picks:

>Balearic Islands
A more compact alternative to Spain. Same arid climate, but with a potentially more interesting map layout and more opportunities for water routes. Main game could take place just in Majorca, with Ibiza and Menorca as DLC content.

>Great Lakes
A region where the water is in the middle instead of in the surrounding area would be a pretty fresh take, and it's also a good way of representing Canada without having to make half of an entire continent into one region.

>Singapore
If they ever do another urban region like Unova again, Singapore is a pretty top tier choice. Despite being a very modern city, there's still lots of nature woven in (much moreso than in New York), and the tropical feel would help distinguish it from Unova.

Interesting idea, I like it. However, what would be the in-game reason for us not being able to just continue exploring if there is just land forever instead of water.

Obviously, game freak wouldn't even acknowledge it and would simply prevent you from traveling any further -- as they've done in all games. But usually open world games are islands for this very reason.

Could be surrounded by dense woods that are too thick to traverse, much like the space between routes in most of the classic games.

It would probably be something closer to us region on one side and canada region on the other, there is also the Mississippi and saint Lawrence if your looking for places to do that with. Also I don't remember sinnoh having too many water roadblocks

Well Sinnoh is an island, so they couldn't "explore" beyond that. What I'm more getting at is, if you start your game withing the middle of a continent, how did you get there? How did the people get there? There have to be some kind of roads or infrastructure *out.* A civilization, unless they evolved there, cannot start anywhere aside from a coastline -- there has to be some form of travel to get to that inland settlement.

So a game centered around an in-land region with water in the middle, raises the question of how are you going to explain why I can't go further?

I suppose it all depends on how you scale the map but I don't really think that be a huge issue, everything is already kind of sperated well enough from the lakeside already. I think if you just ignored the highways you could probably get away with just putting forests around the cities like every other region does.

Florida would be neat with the keys being where the Battle Frontier is and a postgame connection to Unova. Maybe B3W3?

I want the whole fucking southern 1/3 of the US. Start in Georgia, a pastiche of Atlanta is your first city, head west, get Surf in Texas, surf to Florida and get fly, fly back, last city is in Arizona, Pokemon League is in LA. You get every biome and 3-4 different cultures that you can make city and gym gimmicks for.

Australia, Italy, or the secret 3rd option: Making a unique and interesting world instead of copypasting places from reality. Ideally Pokemon would be its own world, not "our world but if there were pokemon." Kalos Eiffel Tower town makes me want to throw up.

Mainly for diverse terrain. Need to handle the lots of tiny islands carefully to avoid "too many water routes!". Maybe use boats early, revisit islands later?

>Germany
Berlin is the starting area, then you get presented with a pseudo choice: A Northerly route with more trainers and the main gym circuit, winding your way into the Rhineland and the Elite Four at historic Aachen. And a Southern route where you'd pick up HM moves and explore on your way into the Bavarian Alps (maybe to an alternative endgame?). The forests and towns in-between permit scenic criss-crossing between the paths.

Why Arizona? Seems out of place, and its already been done.

And why are you cutting out South Carolina and North Carolina? South Carolina was a fucking bastion of Southern culture with places like Charleston, and North Carolina has blackbeard, biltmore, the first flight, and the lost colony. It's insane to cut those two out of a southern themed region.

Still though I applaud you overall, a southern US region would be amazing.
