Africa is a goddamn continent... Its not a region if it's a continent.
True but same could also be said for an Australian based region and no one said it had to be ALL of Africa.Africa is a goddamn continent... Its not a region if it's a continent.

With Australia you could get away with using several parts and combine them to form one region like how Unova was created.I think "Australia" and "Africa" get said so often, despite being too ridiculously huge to be regions because there's not that many Australian and especially not African users on her (or users who are knowledgeable about those places) when compared to American and, maybe, European ones. So there's just less people who know enough about Australia and Africa to say: Hey, let's base a region on Victoria or Northern Queensland for Australia or....uh....Tunisia? for Africa. I mean Tunisia appears to be small enough but it's probably not the type of Africa people expect when asking for an "African" region. Egypt might work if they focus on the river Nile and it's mouths? But again that's not what most people imagine when you say "Africa"

Unova actually was based on NYC, with some of the BW2 exclusive areas based on parts of New Jersey.Unova was pasted together from different parts of America? I thought it was just Manhattan with some more diversity in biomes. Shows how much I know about the US.
I guess with Australia you'd pretty much have to do shrink some distances in order to give people all they would expect of an "Australian" region. Like move the Reef to wherever you want to set the region and move the desert and hinterland/bush closer to the coast. Most people would probably not be that interested in the vat expanses of identical-looking farmland that are between the desert and coast.
No you’re right. Unova is based mostly on the Manhattan area with only Virbank being partially based on New Jersey.Unova was pasted together from different parts of America? I thought it was just Manhattan with some more diversity in biomes. Shows how much I know about the US.
Well the desert is clearly based on the southwestern part of the US. Manhattan and by extension New York has no actual desert. And the area where the Strange House is located is also clearly inspired by Southwestern US given its architectural design and the design of the buildings in nearby Lentimas Town.No you’re right.

I wish we don't get many Legendary/mythical Pokemon in Gen 8. I never really cared for them since I don't use any on my team, I believe they're overpowered.

No Unova covers a lot of NY ground with the desert being based on the World Trade Center site (with the buildings under construction resembling that of destroyed buildings and the rubble being inspiration for a desert.Well the desert is clearly based on the southwestern part of the US.

Not to mention, I feel like it would just be stereotypical BS for the most part.
But that's what you're gonna get with every region that's outside of Japan. it's always gonna be a Japanese Tourist's version of that real life place.
Really, if you look at interviews even Hoenn is a Tokyo tourist's version of Kyushu.
Plus, most are event exculsive only, which many people can’t get. I have a soft spot for their cute design though.And not legal in most places of competition battle.
Makes me wonder would a Quebec inspired area of the region have references to Kalos/French culture?
I hope they bring back the day/night themes again like in Generation IV/VII. Really helps with the atmosphere of the region imo (was hoping they would have done night themes for the routes in Alola but still)!
I just don’t want the day/night to be connected to your current local time ( Switch Clock).I hope they bring back the day/night themes again like in Generation IV/VII. Really helps with the atmosphere of the region imo (was hoping they would have done night themes for the routes in Alola but still)!
