I don't think we can make that assumption. Based on what we know so far, we need the crystal orb to activate Terastal and that orb needs to be recharged after use. So it could be like Mega or Z-Moves where it can be used outside of the region, but you wouldn't be able to recharge the crystal.
Why would it work outside of Paldea when it was clearly stated that it only works in that region?
I think even if the Tera Orb charges up, that energy will just drain once it leaves the region.

When did it ever state that it only works in Paldea. Sure I know that you can only charge it in Paldea but as far as I remember it was never specifically stated that you couldn’t Terrastalize outside of Paldea.

We should stop taking these statements as hard facts. Back when Megas were new, it was stated to only be found in Kalos, and that was immediately retconned in the next game.

Well there is a difference there though. They realized that mistake and started to put the gimmicks tied to a Pokémon.

Z-Power seems to come from Necrozma, Dynamax energy comes from Eternatus, and Terrastal energy possibly comes from the DLC Turtle.

The only games to overlap gimmicks where the Gen 7 games and they potentially stopped in Gen 8 due to balancing issues.

In the anime, there is no limitation regarding Mega and Z-Move usage in other regions.

So Terastalization might be possible in other regions in the anime but not the games.

It's possible but, could they do it anywhere? Like on Friede's ship, some cave, some lake spot? Could they Terastal in someone's car? Lol.

Terastal can happen anywhere. It's just that Tera Orbs can only be charged in Paldea and Kitakami, and possibly Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh by association.

Megas were stated to come from Xerneas/Yveltal + the ultimate weapon.

Careful? Where's the fun in that?
Goh was allowed 2 Legendary Pokémon, but Ash was only allowed 1 Mythical... Perks of having a capturing goal I suppose.

Just gonna say this in case of rebuttal, I do not prescribe to the notion that Ultra Beast are Sub-Legendary Pokémon and Nebby truly being Ash's is majorly debatable.

But only Megas have been brought to other regions, they're tied into Hoenn's lore. Dunno why they're in Let's GO, and they were imported to Alola(Not naturally found there)

Z-Moves were Alola exclusive and so was Dynamax to Galar, Let's Go and Legends/BDSP skipped their region's respective gimmicks.

BDSP skipped a lot of things and Legends was it's own thing. Let's Go was the only game that could've used the region gimmick and didn't.

Based on episode 10, I guess Ash's feeling of rejection from Latios seems to have confirmed what being a Pokemon Master means to Ash. Of all the episodes introduced so far within this mini-series, almost every Pokemon Ash has helped has in return accepted him as their friend in which they trust. However, Episode 10 seems to have broken this mold, with Latios rejecting Ash towards the end, even after Ash helped to save it.

Perhaps, the aftermath of the Latios Rescue Story Plot and Ash's resolve after Latios rejected his friendship, gives a subtle message to the true meaning of what a Pokemon Master is to Ash, and that is "A Pokemon Trainer which is accepted by all Pokemon" (The Ultimate Bond Connection), which explains why Ash's goal of wanting to be trainer from the beginning was to build a friendship with all Pokemon, which I guess is absolutely impossible since there are endless amounts of Pokemon around the world, which makes the goal never-ending.

My only conflict with this is that it only supports, the "Gotta Catch'em All" slogan, which is a goal close to Goh's. Despite this, this possible revelation only supports what I speculated before of Ho-oh, figuratively being the symbol of what a Pokemon Master is, since the legendary is essentially depicted in the anime as a creature which all Pokemon accepts as their sacred deity or loyal companion. Its arguably a Pokemon that is accepted by All, which is what Ash essentially wants to have; All Pokemon to accept him as their friend.

If this is correct, then I guess the director of the Pokemon anime was correct in stating in an interview about Ash's goal of becoming a Pokemon Master is truly a silly and childish dream, which I agree.

However, I like the idea of Ho-OH simply meeting with Ash and confirming Ash's resolve of being a Pokemon Master with its acceptance and approval, based on acknowledging the qualities of Ash's character in which he developed throughout his journey by becoming a great trainer factored based on the great connection he has with his Pokemon, which is a trait worthy of being a Pokemon Master, especially since Ash's connection with his Pokemon surpasses most Pokemon trainers which I guess is proven with Ash's victory of being a world champion. The only catch, is that Ash must continue his journey to build that same type of connection with other pokemon, just like how the rainbow bird continues to travel the world in search of good trainers.

What is Let’s Go’s gimmick? Mega’s, Z-Move, Dmax/Gmax, & Terrastilize are the only 4 “gimmicks” that I know of.

Ok?

The other poster mentioned Let’s Go’s gimmick as if it has its own.

I know. I guess I should have been clearer. I was agreeing with you asking what the gimmicks was. I was just adding that at least they have access to ME since they don't have a unique gimmick.
