>>58833553There should be a pokemon region inspired by just Japan as a whole.
Because while the first four regions are set in a location based on Japan, with the exception of Johto due to its traditional Japanese cities like Ecruteak and Violet City, they don't really feel like Japan and you can't tell me Saffron City is like Tokyo.
Now I know the original pokemon anime had Japanese elements but that was the anime, nothing in Kanto screams culturally Japanese aside from mabye Erika or Kogas design and then you have Hoenn which is more about people surviving in a tropical environment and then you have Sinnoh which has no reference to Ainu culture what's so ever despite being based of Hokkaido and is very culturally western with there being log cabins in Solaceon City with blonde haired cowboys and cowgirls living in them, Greek architecture like the Hellenistic styled Spear Pillars at the top of Mt Coronet and the hotel near Pastoria City that kinda resembles Santorini and the European style cathedral in Hearthome City.
So i think a pokemon region based on all of Japan itself would be amazing and imagining having a explorable City that actually looks like Tokyo? You could also have Mt Fuji be the highest point in the game and mabye even turn the suicide forest into a scary location that's quite dark.
