I just hope that this region is quite expansive, unova in bw felt cramped up, especially since you could visit only half the area before the league.
I hope its another water world like hoenn. :)

At the moment, I just hope it's not so painfully linear as Unova. First order of business.

Yeah, judging by that photo, I think this region will be based off Europe. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do! The building in that photo make me think of france, not just the monument.

I'd love something like that as a Brit meself, but I'd still quite like see elements of, say, Germany, Spain and Italy. Regions are pretty big nowadays and whilst you'd never be able to get the full scope of all those I still think you could get a pretty good impression of what these places have to offer IRL.

Is it me or does it have a bit of a European feel to it? Judging from the few town sceneries you can see.

It'd love a region based loosely on the E.U (a very simplified version of course). There'd be a lot of contrast between the different towns and areas that way.

EDIT: I see a bunch of people have already come to that conclusion^^''

I'd really like it if that happens. Makes me wonder why they showcased Paris instead of London, though. and it would totally explain the desert thing

I think just because Paris has the Eiffel Tower, they wanted to showcase a monument where people would instantly recognize it.

I honestly think that, if New York alone gets to have a whole region dedicated to it, it wouldn't be right to cram as much of Europe as possible into a single region. I still think this one is mainly France (which is a big Pokémon hub), and nothing until now indicates I'm wrong.

Well, I suppose so. But we have the Big Ben, too...

I wonder what the Eiffel Tower is there for. Maybe it'll be the location of the final showdown between the protagonist and the villain?

Oh, I forgot all about Big Ben! Hm, you're right maybe it just is France. I hope not though, because at least we could get some ocean if they use the English Chanel.

I could see some big event happening in that city, like a big disaster or something! An epic battle on top of the tower would be AWESOME.

I think there should be an area based off of the cathedral of Notre Dame.

Yeah, we probably do need a water route, too. Though I do wonder why the hell anyone would go surfing across the English Channel.

It could actually be the HQ of the evil team, with it sending out radio signals to modify Pokemon or whatever... but that would be way too similar to GSCHGSS.

Japan has historically had a sort of fascination with France/Paris (and vice versa), so I wouldn't be surprised if that is where the region is based on if not the UK or Europe as a whole.

I wonder how they'd represent the ghettos in Paris though O.O

If it is European themed, I would enjoy seeing gyms based off famous monuments, for example the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Leaning Tower of Pisa etc.

what gyms are people hoping for?

Dark, Psychic, Fighting and Ghost, so they won't be made Elite Four again.

Seriously, it's like they purposedly took all the overused Elite types and put them all together in Unova.

My friend's theory is that the region is based off of Canada.

Also, this is my 1st post since 2009. (Excluding that 1 post I made in February.)

France.

The tower actually made me think of the Blackpool Tower, but I guess an Eifel Tower works to. But I have to wonder where the desert area comes from. Maybe from a Turkish area?

I am almost certain it is france, the Eifel Tower, the buildings look French and a Versaille like building. The desert region is hard to place though. (Well there isn't a desert in NYC either where BW took place)
