Pokémon General Thread

Update to the violet nuzlocke: I am now at the last three badges in the game but I lost a mimikyu in the process making the grave yard at 18 dead, the game then decided to give me a third shiny in a from of a nymble so that's a cool trade off.

So, I thought we'd gotten all of the Project Voltage songs, but I guess not:

"After Epochs" by sasakure.UK, which seems to be about the passage of time. Sampling sound effects from the oldest Pokemon games honestly sounds like something sasakure would do for a normal song.

And there's another upcoming Project Voltage song too, by Kanaria. Yes, the "KING" Kanaria.

Apparently there's still gonna be 1 more song after that.

Maybe Pokémon Gen X should have some Generation X things about it? (Design, characters, Pokémon, etc. Yes, Team Star from Gen 9 is obviously meant to be The Breakfast Club but they're more for the older side and maybe the late Boomers)

I get the feeling the references will trend younger rather than older. Like this is a series for kids and teens, so chances are that they would want to make the cast more relatable.

Unless we're revising Kanto on another nostalgia trip yet again ofc

How about a Kanto that’s modern and full of tall buildings?

RL Kanto has changed a lot since Pokemon Red.

Kanto is Millennial. Although a Pokémon based on the entire franchise of Pokémon would be fun.

Isn't Kanto already meant to be "modern"? 2D limitations aside, the contrast between Kanto and Johot is that Kanto is meant to be more like a modern city while Johto is the traditional countryside.

Modern by 90s standards.

This talk about a modern Kanto reminds me that I did the numbers on how long it was since gen 1: a decade plus as between, gen 1&3 and gen 2&4 was 3 years then b&w2 was two years after the first game, so between gen 2&4 and gen 5 is the foreign rocket gunt back in gen 2 with a family his son uses the school kid trainer class which in Japan is called the cram school kid which starts in Japan at five years old, this gives us a estimation on how long it has been since gen 1 however since gen 6 we don't know how long it was between the last 3 generations as there is no way to frame the timeline anymore.

or, you know, what about not doing Kanto again to begin with

but knowing them, they absolutely will release another Kanto-centric game for Gen 10.....it's a big and important milestone after all, so I guess I can sorta understand this time.

Saw somebody bring up New Zealand as a possible region, and while the logic they used to get there I found... highly questionable, the concept of it for a Pokemon region was certainly agreeable enough.

Bonus points for not being Europe again, by technicality.

What was their logic?

Just pick a place Japanese people would go for vacation.

Basically, a lot of conspiracy style links based off way more research that anybody at Gamefreak probably did, resulting in "this image may be referring to opposites, and what's on the opposite side of the world from Madrid, Spain? New Zealand."

A region based on New Zealand is plausible, but that's a ridiculous argument.

I'm from New Zealand and I would enjoy a Pokemon game, but I doubt that's where Gen 10 is gonna be set

I want one set in Australia, but that's me being biased because, well, I'm Australian. Lostbelt 4 also made me want one set in India. (I can explain I swear)

I would like to see Brazil or Peru, really.

Somewhere in South America is my pick among the viable candidates

I want the Southern United States. Specifically the south eastern area. I live here and I want to see what kind of region they'd make, even if they only focus on one state like they did for Alola (and Unova for the most part.).

I want Texas, just Texas. Its big enough.

Arizona Orre is Texas enough.

No as Texan my self it barely represent the glory of the state.

I like the idea of having Brazil being a Pokemon region. The amazon can bring a lot of potential Pokemon ideas.
