Maybe the whole region could be based on Australia-esk things like a desert and big cities and like the opera house in Sydney could be a gym and like a team is threatening to create a large tsunami to revitalize the desert but it would destroy all the cities but the evil team is willing to create one anyways. Maybe??

Maybe we could do an Ice and Fire map. Half of it is in cold, windy mountains and the other half is firey volcanoes. You could start out in the strip between the two regions and just in front of where you are in the map is a large lake in the very center of the map and at the center of the lake is the Pokémon League.

What if the region was based off of Canada? This would be at around the Toronto & Ottawa area. Like having the CN tower as an important landmark (like a gym or something with the evil team), Ottawa could have the prime minister give you helpful items such as HMs for doing this task, It could be very snowy or very humid depending on the season. idk anymore.

How 'bout a town located within or above the clouds, on either a mountain top, or through means of a staircase, or through the transportation of a flying Pokemon with the escort of a person that is affiliated to said town, preferably a gym leader, that wishes to help the protagonist on his/her journey. :j

I'll post some things I want to see in a map. First something I think is absolutely necessary: the region we make, should support as many as possible, if not all environments. This doesn't mean we can't do iceland, but we can't only make it cold plains. Things should fit and we'll have many different Pokemon in this region.
I don't know yet if we'll only use Pokemon we create with other Pokemon post-game, or mixed. I'd like mixed more, but would like to see opinions on this.
Now for town / place ideas. I don't know if I have many decent ones right now, but here they are!
A Pirate Town: This could easily cover a substory. There's a feared place slightly away from most of the region, on a large beach and behind the dunes. Pirates rule the town and the normal inhabitants are scared of them. My original idea was to make the gym being taken over by the pirates, but that you have to help the Gym Leader liberate it first. The houses would be southern style, white, blocky, cottage-ey and medium-small.
A "fish bowl" city could be cool as well! It'd be a settlement in the middle of the sea, possibly around a large reserve of oil. It'd be a fairly advanced people with very strong swimmers, but of course they live in a small space. This could even be in the sea! In which case it could even be with fish tank bowl streets.
A nomad town, whether it's in a desert, plain or tundra, it'd be cool. Especially a tundra.
A city in a huge cave with crystals and underground rivers, imagine the beauty *-*.
A city up in the mountains. There'd be multiple rocky and decently long hikes needed to reach different parts! Maybe until you fix some bridges or something.

I'd like to see a city that's over-expanded its factories and power plants, causing the whole city to become polluted. It would mainly consist of bikers, roughnecks, burglars, punks, engineers and the villain teams grunts. You'd mainly find poison type's here as well, along with a poison gym.

I second the vote for a pirate town. That would work great with some of the early Pokémon I'm seeing being made. I don't remember who made it right this second, but someone made a "shipwreck pokemon" and I'm currently working on a water type Pokémon as well.

Fish Bowl: Well, we have a lot of islands everywhere and 3 oceans, use one of them? Nomad: Tundra Cave: Sudbury, ON? Mountains: Rockies, Appalachians, Laurentians, Niagara Escarpment, etc. Pirate Town: This would be harder, but we can just put it in somehow. And Airwolf's Polluted town can be Toronto.

I'd actually like Canada! it has a unique shape, lots of variety. We just need some rainforest, but we don't have to follow normal Canada exactly. (And a desert!)

Well Gamefreak has gone to all of the wealthy and well-populated countries except for Canada and England. So yes, I completely agree with devoxys. Canada!

At least we know we want some sort of cold climate, right?

I think South America would be great. With the Andes and the Amazon. There is lots of different types of wildlife there, easily being able to support all types of mons.

In a day or two we should start a poll for where it will take place and include all the ones mentioned here.

Africa. It has like all the major biomes except for Tundra/Arctic (but it does have Alpine!) There are many animals to draw inspiration from, many cultures to draw mythology from, and many different cities, countries, etc to explore. Such a map would not only be large enough for many different experiences, but could open a more RPG like gameplay. With such an expansive map, the players would not be limited to one area and could instead choose their own path to take. Moreover, such a map would promote cultural awareness of a continent that many tend to forget has the most cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity on the planet.
With such an expansive map, Africa could fuel several different Pokemon Leagues, storylines, etc...

I like the idea of Africa geographically. Culturally, I think it would be interesting to have more of a South American culture, at least in terms of a historical background. It would be cool to find ancient mayan ruins residing in a rain forest, for example

Thinking about it, what would y'all think about India? It has a lot of stuff, so we'll have to edit few stuff in manually. Assuming we can use surroundings as well, India is normally tropic, so a good place for stuff like rainforests, but of course standard stuff like normal forests and plains can be there too. There's an island nearby (Sri Lanka), which is big enough for us and would give a cool Surf ride. In the north there are mountains so we can get some cold stuff (we can exaggerate that part and act like it's huge with many highlands. The Pakistan side could be more deserty, while the Bangladesh side would have lots of rain, rivers and rainforest!
Also, we can make a custom map.. not based on anything!

I would love India. (Probably because my parents are from there)

I'm curious to see whether or not Move-Tutor moves would be part of the discussion of this thread. If it would not be, where could we discuss this?

Also, seconding the notion that India has everything we want in a region, Delhi could be the polluted city. I don't really know about the "Capital" of the region being the worst, so we could do it somewhere else.

If we did the Indian subcontinent, I feel like we could include Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Bhutan in the main map. Sri Lanka could be like the NW island on the Sinnoh map or something and the Maldives or Andaman Islands could be like the Orange Islands. Thoughts?
