NZ has a massive range of environments that would definitely fit in with Gamefreaks need to include every type of biome cause NZ literally has it, deserts, mountains, icy areas, forests, plains, valleys, volcanoes, islands etc.
We have a lot of animals that are native to NZ, like the Kiwi and Tuatara plus a lot of animals that are yet to have Pokemon made of them, like the Albatross. We would lack in Poison types but Pokemon like Qwilfish, Foongus, Dustox, Grimer, Trubbish, Mareanie, Oddish etc could easily cover that.
We have lots of myths and legends that could translate into pokemon legends, like Maui fishing up the south island from the sea or Maui slowing down the sun moving through the sky by catching it with a rope, or mother earth and father sky being pushed apart by their children who were trapped between them.
All of our towns and cities are very different from one another which would make unique cities in a game and all spread out enough that placing the in game cities would actually fit where they are in the real world, the 4 major cities holding gyms as well as 4 well known towns with the other 4 gyms.
Main 4:
Auckland - Water type, its called the city of sails
Wellington - Flying type, its known as the windy city.
Christchurch - Grass type, its known as the garden city.
Dunedin - Psychic type, its known for its univeristy.
other 4:
Queenstown - Ice type - Its where all the slopes are.
Nelson - Fairy type - known for its arts and crafts.
Taranaki - Fire type - known for its mountain and volcano
Rotorua - Ground type - known for its hot and mud pools.
E4 types would be Fighting, Rock, Electric and Dragon just cause
NZ would make a decent region but cause its Gamefreak, I dont want them touching my country.
