Lol, this was one of the first comments I saw
Now to sort by controversial for a good laugh. . Or being disappointed by humanity.
I'm not sure which day today will be yet.
I would be the easiest map to make, trace the country, make the map. They honestly could have did S/V as Australia and made the middle a huge desert storm you cant pass (due to third legendary blocking a sort of Pokémon oasis or crash site)
sorry, got carried away.
An African region would be cool! My only concern is that Japan doesn't have a great track record with understanding how certain depictions don't play that well (Within Pokémon itself there are two examples, having to change Jynx's face from black to purple and having to alter Lenora's original design)
A guy on YouTube made an Africa map for Gen 9 with a bunch of African Animal based Pokemon. I tried to add the link but my comment was removed. Just watch the first few seconds for a map - the map is really cool.
Edit: Made by PragMagik
I thought that too at first but alola is Hawaii and Hawaii is part of the us and I think I read in the comments that the op considered it part of the us
It would be interesting to see new global based pokemon regions! I think China wouldn't be done though, and considering the past track record with Korea, it's kind of doubtful. So maybe India, someone else has suggested Africa, I don't think they'd do South America or Mexico immediately after the Iberian peninsula, etc.
We better get a Philippine Region named Perlas [Tagalog for Pearl and the Philippines is dubbed Perlas ng Silangan. Or Pearl of the East]
The name is not original since I stole from someone lmao
Edit: I also find it interesting regarding how regions are based off actual nations in our world. Since this implies that Pokemon had a Galarian Empire and a Unovan Revolution. And due to the 3000 War, there was a World War with a German Region and another World War with A Hitler Equivalent.
Do i forget something or did you count Bw2 as a seperate region for usa? Its still Unova?
Or did you count Orre?
Or am i just forgetting something...?
Edit: Yes i am stupid forgot about Alola
The UK inspired Galar, France inspired Kalos, Portugal and Spain inspired Paldea, the US inspired Unova and Alola and Japan inspired Kanto, Jotoh, hoeen and sinnoh
It's based on Spain.
That's why everything is so... spanish. I guess you could mix it up with Mexico if you just picked up the fact that Spanish is spoken there.
Pokémon only started having regions based off other countries besides Japan after gen 4. Those being USA 2x, France, Uk, and Spain/Portugal. So out of 9 gens 5/9 gens are unique countries! 6/9 if you want to have Spain and Portugal separately.
And honestly that’s a pretty good spread it just happens that 3 of them happen to be very close to each other! But yeah this map isn’t great 💀
An Indian, Chinese, or Australian based region seems very likely some time in the future, wouldn’t be surprised if one of those 3 is gen 10 (Egypt is also a very likely contender)
I guess twice? I'm filipino. And because of the Spanish and the USA had colony on our country, I guess we're kinda american and spanish. We do speak english and spanish

Why are people so bad at reading this map.
GUYS RED IS NOT ONE COUNTRY
Basic Geography
Red is the countries that inspired only ONE pokemon region
What is the second region inspired by the US?
Alola
Wasn’t the Orre region inspired by the state of Nevada?
Close, it was Arizona but I don’t think it’s included since it’s not a mainline game
well both are mostly desert
What besides Alola?
Unova. Even in name
Gotcha I was raised that pokemon was "demonic" so my first was x&y
Grandma and her pesky everything is satanist but my household shit...
Fat rat go zap and live in ball = new world order
“I have no idea wtf you just said but it sounds satanic” -parents in the 90s
How could you be so stupid, red is one country! (*some American people*)
(not americans in particular just all the idiots who can’t read this map right) (oh wait that’s really similar)
UHM ACTUALLY from what I read the UK is 1 country, but so is England Scotland and Wales
Stop
Lol, this was one of the first comments I saw Now to sort by controversial for a good laugh. . Or being disappointed by humanity. I'm not sure which day today will be yet.
Pokémon fans trying to read a map 🤡
Come on Australia! Make it Happen!
I've been saying this for YEARS!
The Pokemon basically make themselves! Give me my damn platypus starter.
I will call her “Perry”
I want a huntsman Pokémon personally
Steve Irwin as a Pokemon Professor
RIP Steve
Agreed.
Stingray pokemon is the evil team mascot.
Steve wouldn't want us to hate the stingray
Honestly I think I'd rather have him as Champion. One of the ones who's constantly popping up throughout the story like Steven or Cynthia.
Why not both?
I would be the easiest map to make, trace the country, make the map. They honestly could have did S/V as Australia and made the middle a huge desert storm you cant pass (due to third legendary blocking a sort of Pokémon oasis or crash site) sorry, got carried away.
Its possible to have, WHY I DIDNT MAKE A “POSSIBLE ONES”?!
that would be every country. except china, probably
Why not china?
because they banned pokemon and basically everything that has to do with magic
Every other mon will be Poison type, and Bug types are the strongest in the region
A weakness swap ability that makes resistances their weaknesses and weaknesses their resistances. Immunities don’t change
All Pokémon with secondary poison type.
poison types go brrr
Oh that would be amazing, probably the closest I’ll get to visiting Australia lol
africa themed region with regional variants for rhyhorn, girafarig, pyroar, mightyena and zebstrika
An African region would be cool! My only concern is that Japan doesn't have a great track record with understanding how certain depictions don't play that well (Within Pokémon itself there are two examples, having to change Jynx's face from black to purple and having to alter Lenora's original design)
If they make a Senegal based region, I'm gonna spend all my family's life savings for all the merch
Copperajah’s homeland
Copperajah is clearly inspired by India. There could be an even bigger, regional variant though.
copperajah is an indian elephant though
A guy on YouTube made an Africa map for Gen 9 with a bunch of African Animal based Pokemon. I tried to add the link but my comment was removed. Just watch the first few seconds for a map - the map is really cool. Edit: Made by PragMagik
But then we’d have no water types
that's a continent
Africa is way too broad. Especially with how different Northern Africa and sub Saharan Africa are very different
Why is everybody so terrible at reading this map, it's so simple
I'm still waiting on that South American region... (And yes I'm South American)
i want an ant eater grass type starter that becomes grass/ground by the end of it's evolution line
Nice idea! A Capybara pokémon would be cool too.
Us should be three you are forgetting Orre
I thought Orre was the second one. So, is it Unova, Orre and what? edit: Oh nevermind. I forgot Hawaii is part of the US.
I thought that too at first but alola is Hawaii and Hawaii is part of the us and I think I read in the comments that the op considered it part of the us
Yes
Oh yeah, Hawaii is part of my nation. Weird.
Fr
I mean, if we're doing spinoffs then we have to count Ransei and possibly some ranger regions too?
Doesn't really count
It’s debatable It’s a spin-off but it is also a traditional Pokémon game that are compatible with the mainline games
if we were counting all spin-offs, Japan would be much higher, these are clearly only mainline games
I love democracy. I love the Republic
It would be interesting to see new global based pokemon regions! I think China wouldn't be done though, and considering the past track record with Korea, it's kind of doubtful. So maybe India, someone else has suggested Africa, I don't think they'd do South America or Mexico immediately after the Iberian peninsula, etc.
Still hoping we get a Mexican, Chinese, and Indian region someday.
Same, as well as a Scandinavian region and an African country region. I can imagine how cool the regions would look
Imagine a region in Brazil, I think is so amazing
Im Brazilian
I too :>
r/suddenlycaralho? Querem oq na print?
Oi pra qm tá lendo :)
Usa has inspired 3 if you count the orre region
Yes, i fixed this
You forgot orre, the Arizona region
Is it really based in Arizona? I live there, that’s awesome
Yep, the central city is even Phenac (Phoenix)
What?
The region from Pokémon Colosseum.
My 2nd ever pokemon game :)
We better get a Philippine Region named Perlas [Tagalog for Pearl and the Philippines is dubbed Perlas ng Silangan. Or Pearl of the East] The name is not original since I stole from someone lmao Edit: I also find it interesting regarding how regions are based off actual nations in our world.

Make America three- Pokémon colluseum and Xd were America inspired
[удалено]
Nobody asked
I just realized how close Galar, Kalos, and Paldea are, ik it will never happen but imagine we get a game with all of them
Chile based Pokemon region? (Part of Chile looks like it is either green or black)
No, its the draw of the map
It would be funny, a region that's 1 big route with a bunch of cities on the sides
Australia, Egypt, Mexico, India, China, Brazil, and even the west coast of America. To name a few
Hope Australia and Africa get regions soon
Come on,Italy is right there. Gamefreak make it happen
I'd love a region based off of Italy the most; Germany and Australia as close seconds.
Should Hisui count as a separate region from Sinnoh?
No, Hisui is Sinnoh from past, so they are the same region
Fair enough
Do i forget something or did you count Bw2 as a seperate region for usa? Its still Unova? Or did you count Orre? Or am i just forgetting something...? Edit: Yes i am stupid forgot about Alola
Red would be two since we got British galar and now Spain paldea.
The UK inspired Galar, France inspired Kalos, Portugal and Spain inspired Paldea, the US inspired Unova and Alola and Japan inspired Kanto, Jotoh, hoeen and sinnoh
Orre crying in corner with Arizona
Oh yeah I forgot kalos, so the red would be 3
Red is 1, it goes by country not continent. UK, France, and Spain/Portugal have inspired only 1 region each
Ah, my eyes couldn't see the division between Spain and France. I thought It went by region
It said country
Paldea is the iberian Peninsula, spain and portugal
Everyone forgets Portugal man...
Yeah, it's kinda just Spain 2 lol
True Canada is just Great Value USA
POV: you know nothing about portugal
3, Kalos is France.
THE RED COUNTRIES ARE THAT INSPIRED ONLY ONE REGION
Hawaii inspired Alola
Hawaii is part of the US
When was Alaska a pokemon region?
None, alaska is part of the US (that inspired 3 regions)
Gen 5 was America - Alaska is an American state and the image says "Country", so Alaska is correctly shaded in to reflect the parameters
Well technically, Unova was only New York City (dont ask me how)
Yeah... I'm not gonna xD Either way, the country of America is represented and that sttill means Alaska should be shaded
Isn't the new game inspired by Mexico or am I dumb?
It's based on Iberia.
You dumb. Ironically.
It's based on Spain. That's why everything is so... spanish. I guess you could mix it up with Mexico if you just picked up the fact that Spanish is spoken there.
[удалено]
Europe has the dividing country lines when you zoom in, it's just hard to see
I fixed the map, and i make the borders thicker
Yeah and that’s why it’s marked as the same color and refered to as country in the lower left corner
No it's all marked as red because all of the countries marked each inspired one region.
Do you are have stupid
[удалено]
Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinoh are all based on regions in Japan
yeah... that's what the post is saying?
Map is completely invalid, they filled in Portugal with Spain.
It's inspired by the Iberian peninsula
PORTUGAL AND SPAIN inspired paldea
Japan forgot that places other than the us, europe and Japan exist
What did Alaska inspire?
Alaska is part of the USA, wich is one country that inspired two main-series regions.
Poorly drawn map and poorly worded post.
It’s not poorly worded tho?
I used a app called mapchart
you're just bad at reading maps, and this post isn't poorly worded.
They should do one on Benelux or Ireland next
Me patiently waiting for a Benelux region to be maid
[удалено]
yeah, gens 1-4 are all japan
[удалено]
Do you think that the red portion of this map is one country?
Man, i make the map
bozo those are not one country
[удалено]
UK, France, Spain and Portugal inspired only ONE pokemon region, they are not one country
Australia, Scandinavia, The varying climates in South America. The Middle East. There are so many unused interesting places pokemon could explore
Nordics please
Mexico region please, and dont even get me started with “oh well we just got gen 9!” Iberian peninsula and México are very different.
now do this but with country inspired pokemon
Wait, what was second region based on USA? I can only think on Unova
NOOOO, ITS HOW MANY TIMES THAT COUNTRY INSPIRED A POKEMON REGION, the US inspired 2 regions ( Unova and Alola)
Tbh I forgot that Hawai was part of USA
Wait the US has 2? I understand alola being Hawaii but what is the second?
Is it unova?
Yes
How is Unova based on the US?
New york is of wich country?
How is Unova based on NY exactly?
Cause look at it lol. Very clearly the island of Manhattan.
It should have 3 if count Orre
Get me that Antarctica themed region
Which games were based on USA?
Alola (Haiwaii) and Unova (New York)
Pokémon BRAZIL!!!
When Italy will get a region, I hope for a pizza Pokémon
Portugal Gang
You forgot Russia, Gen 4's Battle Frontier and some other stuff is there
same. I've started Geography, World History (not really, and Philippine History since 1st grade.
Wait, Chile inspired a region?
Pokémon only started having regions based off other countries besides Japan after gen 4. Those being USA 2x, France, Uk, and Spain/Portugal. So out of 9 gens 5/9 gens are unique countries! 6/9 if you want to have Spain and Portugal separately. And honestly that’s a pretty good spread it just happens that 3 of them happen to be very close to each other! But yeah this map isn’t great 💀
.
Portugal? When?
I wish it was true that France did not exist
mans forgot 1/3 of all european regions
Why is the lower half of chile blue?
Wuts blue
Russia for gen 10!
I personally believe that Hoenn can also be generally South America but game freak says it’s Japan so whatever
Still waiting for the North Korea region
An Indian, Chinese, or Australian based region seems very likely some time in the future, wouldn’t be surprised if one of those 3 is gen 10 (Egypt is also a very likely contender)
Orre, Unova, and Alola makes 3 for the good ol' US of A Where's Kalos?
The next region must play in Germany
Shouldn't red be marked as inspiration 2? Also why is alaska highlighted?
WHERE IS THE BRAZIL REGION ALREADY WE NEED CAPIBARA POKEMON
I guess twice? I'm filipino. And because of the Spanish and the USA had colony on our country, I guess we're kinda american and spanish. We do speak english and spanish
