I'm really tired of old regions tbh. All regions (except hoenn) are playable on the DS; time to leave them regions behind and look ahead now. I'm fond of the old games but theyre all playable on the current hardware now. If you want two regions, how bout two NEW regions? Beats the hell outta old ones running off spit and nostalgia.

Here's my take on the France Region

I don't think they'd put two new regions in one game. Why do that when they can make more money by having each region they come up with in a separate generation.

That's... okay I guess, but it could stand to be a little less linear and a bit more connected. Especially with that northern section, it's just one long string of like, 7 cities or something.
Also needs more optional paths.

Agreed. How about 12 gyms, and 8 is nessecary for the Pokemon league while the last 4 are optional? I just want them in the same region though, instead of an old region.

Yea i could see this working. For example , the first gym is the town or two after your home one. Then you can choose which gym to go to next and after each gym, the next gyms pokemon level up by 3/4 levels to increase difficulty. Then after the champion the other four gyms have a set level like 71-75 and all the other gyms are rechallengable at a greater difficulty. Of course there would still have to be other non gym areas and each gym/leader by unique. Of course there would also be som areas you are forced to visit for story purposes.

This could either implement a 17 type setup where each gym leader/E4 member/champion represents a type or they could include a number of type-based gyms while also incorporating some of the discussed gyms based on mechanics or stats or species. I would love this idea to happen, but I personally don't think it will. Here's to hoping.

A bit overkill. The 12 gym suggestion sounds better because it doesn't sound like it'd cover all of the types. The E4 's types are there to offer an types we havent battled yet. Champions can be any type they want, but there really shouldn't be anymore gyms than 8 in general. 12 would be a nice-to-decent option for if one wants to have an extra challenge that doesn't involve Battle Facilities or Treehollows and Skyscrapers.

What I suggested would be exactly what you said: whatever types we haven't yet encountered in the gyms would be encountered in the Elite Four.
i see what you mean. I'd rather just one good, satisfying region myself.

I don't mind this, but I want to explore the whole main region before the e4. I hated how half of Unova was blocked off until post game, I want a smaller region/ area for post game like a battle frontier or battle island
I can see a Y but it needs an X. Adding an X would fix the linear problem as well (although I'm playing Black right now and it's pretty linear. The map looks like you can go anywhere, but there are roadblocks at every optional path).

It's just a fan made map, no need for an X and Y in the map design
Have they said that it's exclusively based on France? Is there more evidence for it being based just on France than the Pokeiffel Tower? I was kind of hoping for some other european influences as well.

How about more gyms...but not a drastic change. Maybe just simply 9 gyms?

What's wrong with 8? Personally, I'd prefer 8 Gyms in any order, but I also want Battle Facilities like TreeHollow and Skyscraper littered throughout the region, and maybe have some available before the E4 (like the PWT).
Speaking only of gyms, I'm perfectly fine with 8 as long as they can be rematched post-game.
And better yet, give us a really big and challenging Frontier and give us 8 Frontier Brains.
Also, instead of separating it, the Skyscraper/Tree Hollow can actually be a Frontier Facility.

This.
I really miss Emerald-style Frontier, it's so huge we can cycle around it to hatch eggs.
But on making Skyscraper/Treehollow a Frontier facility.....I'm okay with that as long as we still receive the EXP.
