this is how its supposed to be, the first 5 regions were "REGIONS" of a country rather than shoving an entire country into one region.
It makes them pull from nicher locales and animals, it's by far the superior way to do region design. Is it any wonder that once they started condensing entire countries into regions, the depth became piss poor?

The US is fucking enormous. It makes sense for Unova to be based on a single state rather than the entire country. If we got a game based on Australia or Brazil that would be expected as well.

Greece however is basically the same size as France, the UK and Spain. Why do those get most of the country turned into a region, but Greece doesn't?

In the past they would've done a region just for Catalonia, today they condense Spain & Portugal into one region.

A better argument would've been that they'd never revisit Greece to make another region after they're done with gen 10. If they want to make more of Greece during gen 10 they'll have the inevitable DLC.

It's not even based on the state of New York. It's just the Tri-State area.

I DEMAND justice. I want a Pokemon game set in the US that is a mix of Appalachian, the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes. There's tons of folklore, history and wildlife to use for concepts.

It's great actually.

>Now see the Paldea which IS Spain AND Portugal, realistically the biggest region so far.

It's a bit of a shame they're not including mainland Greece too, since it’s such an interesting place with lush vegetation — BUT this is actually a good thing. If they used all of Greece, these particular islands would end up tiny, like Sootopolis. Now these 'small' islands will get a lot more detail, with each one being about the size of the four Alola islands COMBINED — plus Gen 10 will have at least eight islands, with smaller ones scattered in between. And let’s not forget there’s going to be a strong focus on both ocean exploration and the sky experience.

Hawaii could have been way better had they made actual areas instead of the fucking hallways they did. Volcano National Park as an entire area would have been amazing, but they made it a fucking black transition from the tour bus area to the peak with no interior.

Not just that, but half of the leaks about Gen 10 state that a bulk of the islands are going to be based on previous regions, so the region is going to have little to no original identity. Guess it makes sense because of the 30th anniversary, but it sucks that the region's schtick will be "this island is like Kanto, it has diet Saffron City!" and "that island is like Hoenn, see the volcano?!"

I'm sorry, my Grecian friend, for the double tragedy of a region based on your homeland.

The ranger regions are based on much smaller parts of Japan. Ferrum in Pokken is also based on an Island belonging to Japan.

The US got Arizona, New York, and Hawaii represented. And there's still room to visit more states. I'd be shocked if GF never does a California region, for example, considering how often they host VGC events there.
Greece is probably only gonna be visited once, so missing any part of it means missing it forever.

if the cyclades are somehow a region then I'd still assume mainland greece would get used in the future. if mainland greece is done first then no way in hell are they coming back for the islands.

I adore Alola, Sun was my first Pokémon game, but the only islands that ever once felt like it had a sense of actual scale to it was Poni, and even then, that’s entirely because of Vast Poni Canyon and the attached areas, outside of the gauntlet that is VPC and the altar, it’s a total nothingburger

While sinnoh is obviously a bit guilty of this too, It does annoy me how every region now just has every biome like its a fucking Mario world map. I understand you want to have places that make sense as habitats for a variety of pokemon but it really just robs each region of a unique identity.
