>>54508740>Meanwhile Cucknova has none of that and the "war" took place literally thousands of years prior when Poke Balls didn't even existExactly you have more to work with in regards to pokemon history.
Even if you don't want to make an alternative to pokeballs
You can just use any of the unovan legends like Kyurem eating people at night.
The third war with the swords of justice
The story of the pokemon king in in the abyssal ruins.
Meanwhile with Johto you have a story everyone knows just about everything about and the biggest mystery was solved in SV with the paradox beasts confirming that they were just the beasts.
Apricorn balls that were already used in PLA.
ANOTHER time travel isekai plot
And traditional Japanese aesthetics that were already used in PLA.
It's a rehash with a less interesting plot.
>and have the region not even remotely resemble current day Unova And Hisui resembled modern Sinnoh? The area where Canalave was doesn't exist!
