Hey guys, I'm the OP of the second thread in /vp/ and i'd like to thank itspikachu for stepping up and sorting all this out as I had no fucking idea what to do. Anyway, on with the show.

There has been a lot of debate in the thread about regions and how we should handle it. Should we have a purely original (and preferably very LARGE region) or should we have remakes of all the originals, or maybe both.

I personally think that we should work on remaking all the current regions, with some extras added in to make them seem a little larger and more interesting to people who have played the older games to death already, not saying that we shouldn't do any original region of our own but I think a game based 100% around a fan made region may not be a good idea and I think we stand to lose something if we do that, I think that it would make our game feel very detached from the greater Pokemon world that we all grew up with.

I think however a new regions constructed by /vp/ ALONGSIDE some older regions would add a sense of originality and personality to the game that might be cool to have and as we'll most likely be working with a sort of alternate universe canon there shouldn't be any problems on that front.

Anyway, the floor's open so suggest away!
