"My Idea for Gen VIII"

A region based off Australia (I mean come on, a platypus pretty much is already a pokemon in the real world).We all know by now that the eighth generation of Pokemon will be on the Switch, meaning that we can have a lot of new features and mechanics that couldn't be done on previous consoles, as we move away from the hand held consoles and onto the more powerful ones.This means we can theoretically have a much bigger region.My idea for Gen VIII is for a region based on Australia, with the games being titled :Pokemon Frontier and Pokemon HorizonThe region would be essentially split into two via a long mountain chain, with each part of the region being totally accessible to both games, but each one focusing on a different half.Pokemon Horizon would focus on the eastern, coastal side of the region, and be more geared around city-scapes, gardens and the beach, with various islands you can travel to and a giant wonderful coral reef modeled after the Great Barrier Reef.Pokemon Frontier however, would focus on the western side across the mountains, an area similar to the outback, featuring jungles and deserts mostly, with a giant, beautiful mass of plateau rock with gorgeous waterfalls along the sides resembling Uluru.Both sides of the regions would be available in both games, however the stories of each game would take you around the respective parts of the region.The legendary pokemon for the region that feature on the box art are giant, long sleeping turtle like pokemon that had oceans and deserts naturally form over their resting bodies after a long fought battle.In Frontier, the game leads you down a path that ultimately leads to the Uluru-like rock formation to awaken, and end up being the shell of a giant legendary turtle ground/rock type pokemon.And in Horizon, the game leads you down a path that leads to the awakening of the great coral reef area, revealing that the entire reef is the shell of a giant turtle water/rock type pokemon.Australia has a variety of animals that pokemon could be modeled after, and a very harsh environment that can be transferred into a pokemon game on the switch well.Thoughts? via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2IyUsuR
