That's just somethin they've been doing more and more with starters lately. Though I'd say Rillaboom looks like a gorilla more than a human.
Fire/Ground Snake for the Australia region?
Ha, just kidding; it'd probably be Fire/Poison.
Nah, Gen 9 will be California or something. They've been jumping back and forth between US states and European countries.
Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, New York, France, Hawaii, UK...
I've been team Grookey since day one, but Cinderace might convince me to switch. I might be more loyal to Rillaboom if it had different hair.
the fire starters always turn out so bad and then yall wonder why Charizard keeps staying popular warranting more forms
I'm on Team Totodile better be catachable like it was in SuMo/UsUM. Hoping that rumor about Gen I/II/IV starters making the cut turns out to be true because if it's not then Gen 8 will be my first ever No Starter run, for my first playthrough anyway.
Infernape is good, as was Typhlosion (until they ruined it in the transition to 3D).
it's pretty obviously not a mouse either
the pokédex is not to be trusted
I wouldn't use Hawaii to draw some sort of pattern here since its environment and culture is very distinct compared to anything else in the US. It's also a very popular vacation spot for Japanese tourists.
We'll see how long that pattern lasts.
Probably not much longer. I doubt this is even an international pattern.
They picked Hawaii because it was the 20th ann and, with its connection to Japan, many back to back world championships were held there. It was the meeting point for the community.
As a Californian, the only way they could portray it accurately is having half of the Pokemon be Fire type.
There's not much that's more classic monster than humanoid creatures and its always been part of Pokemon. Whether you're talking about classical studies in mythology and folklore or more recent interpretations like Universal movies. Pokemon is great because its all over the place with its inspirations.
At least they haven't used the Kiwi yet. We're small enough to be included in that general region whenever that happens.
As a Californian, I know that my state has every biome you could want for a pokemon game.
Don't worry, Not New Zealand will be a small post-game area or something. I'd say it's where the Battle Frontier would be held, but we know that those don't exist anymore.
But yeah, wouldn't be surprised at all with a Kiwi line.
Only because of PG&E. Pikachu could be a villain that season.
As a Zew Zealander, a Kiwi evolving into a Moa has always been one of my dream pokemon.
Our crummy little nocturnal bird turning into a gigantic 12ft tall monster bird (which was hunted by the largest Eagle ever) is pretty funny.
Our country went from being badass to being kinda lame.
People like what they like and it's totally fair to like or dislike any of the designs.
What I find irritating is when people start misusing design terms to back up their point. You think there's a technical reason these designs are bad? Then throw down your design credentials before making the argument - almost no one in the comments I've read so far appears to be a designer of any sort based on how they're critiquing these designs (to be fair any designer with experience would know how much work something like this is and how many stakeholders there are; they'd therefore be circumspect about offering "feedback").
As someone who was impressed by how your country came together last year, and who is planning the next non-Japan family trip there for 2020, your country is awesome.

Jesus, the starter evolutions look really bad. Grookey3's color scheme is all over the place, Sobble3 just looks plain wrong, too skinny, while Scorbunny3 is too simple, looks like a mid evo.
I guess I'm going with Scorbunny3 cause I love fire-foot based anime characters like Sanji and Shinra. I just hope they did the mons' animations justice.

we should have a new starter poll now that we know the final forms lol.
how dare you... how DARE you!
I don't even like my country currently, but I still would love to see it in Pokémon. I love this whole "alternate world" take they do with real life locations.
Yeah I can screenshot the discord message if you guys really want me to do so
Edit: There you go
Not that I gain anything with making stuff up anyways lol

What country is that? Interested in hearing pitches for future regions.
Even with the testimony of the leaker, I honestly can't buy that based on what we can clearly see.
Is there the possibility for confusion on their part because it's still called "Farfetch'd" in-game?
Is there a possiblity? Sure. Is it likely? I don't think so. If the pokémon appears in pokémon camp, it means that he caught it. He would've noticed that it was a regional variant by now.
Even then, good point, it could be the leaker confusing it. But once again I don't think it's very likely considering the situation.
