>artemis gym (dark)
>when that homosexual Apollo tricked her into killing Orion
>e4 ghost again
yawn
but it would be cool if a bit cheesy
what about the towns?
Switch the typings around to make more sense.
hephaestus gym as fire (works the forge)
artemis gym grass (lives in forrest with nymphs)
apollo gym psychic types are connected to light and apollo is literally the god of light
athena gym as steel type (war tactitian goddess of knowledge always wearing helmet)
hephaestus is a master steelworker but i guess fire would work i guess.
artemis is literally goddess of the moon. athena is the goddess of wisdom and the steel connection is very loose
Champ should be Heracles. Really like the idea of the league being based around the pantheon. Thats cool.
Nah, Herakles/Hercules should be your Rival Hero.
The Elite 4 as the elemental Titans and either Hades or Chronos as Champ. Gaia and Uranus would also be kino. Maybe 2 champions in a duo fight would be Welcome surprise that was never done before. Gaia and Uranus would be perfect for that, one uses ground types with Earthquake, the other uses flying types. The Earth and the Sky combined.
That sounds fricking awesome.
>Greek Region characters based on gods.
God, that's cringe.
How about characters based on the philosophers and mathematicians of Ancient Greece? How about their surrounding neighbors like Egypt, Macedonia, and Anatolia? About about basing it off of the Byzantine empire? Or even modern Greek?
I mean you don't see stereotypical Mediaeval shit in Galar. There was no reference to King Arthur in gen 8.
btw when I mean medieval shit in Galar I meant the characters. The theme of the characters in Galar is heavily based on modern England, with a huge emphasis on football. Football is not the first thing people see when they think about the culture and myths of England.
>characters
He said gyms, my interpretation is that they are styled after temples and the trainers inside fit the theme and are not literally gods.
You could still do so much more than just basing the gyms off of gods. It's a level of laziness not even GF would do.
If GF was lazy enough to do this for a Greek region, they would have made the gym leaders in Galar be based off of Robin Hood, Alice, or Sherlock Holmes.
They made all the gyms based off of football stadiums you fricking wanker. 100% all of them. The characters inside were not however. Learn how to interpret the written English language and the visual medium of video games.
And what's your point here? None of the characters were based on any famous British characters.
>not even gf is lazy enough to make all the gyms in a region based on [thing from irl regions culture]
>makes all the gyms in galar football pitches
Do you see it now, how you are wrong?
idk man, making gyms based on football stadiums is more creative than basing them off of like castles. No one would think of football stadiums when they imagine England.
Before you tell me about Hammerlocke, yeah the gym looks like a castle on the outside, it's still stadium on the inside and the gym leader is actually a well designed one.
If GF was truly lazy they would have made gen 8 like some game of thrones shit with each leader having the same exact name as some ancient mediaeval king or a famous character in an English novel.
>No one would think of football stadiums when they imagine England.
Soccer, tea, and stupid red buses are all modern England is known for.
all of it together would make for a very cool region
looking forward to the diogenes npc with his featherless chicken mon
Byzantine pokemon would be kino, I also cringe at the obsession with ancient greece, especially when everyone overlooks that the DOLPHIN is one of the national symbols of the country.
This but also the Macedonia is a region of Modern Greece.
(Norf) Macedonia is the name that was given to some slavic larpers because the US wanted them in NATO.
The whole thing is scuffed. I never have any idea what region people refer to when they say Macedonia. It's like if Belgium suddenly called itself Normandy or if New Mexico dropped the "New" part of its name.
I agree but
>I mean you don't see stereotypical Mediaeval shit in Galar. There was no reference to King Arthur in gen 8.
there should've been
Wasn't the whole myth with the chosen heroes wielding a sword and shield based off of King Arthur? SWSH didn't handle its story very well though so I can agree there should've been more.
>I mean you don't see stereotypical Mediaeval shit in Galar. There was no reference to King Arthur in gen 8.
Yeah and thats why it sucked
Not characters, but Zacian and Zamazenta draw a lot from Arthurian myrh
The main story would be to have gay sex and retake konstantinoupolis from the turks

Say hello to the Regional form of Gardevoir
I want to see a Legendary trio who are based oin the Moirai Sisters and the Crocotta (Greek Hyena)
Would sure as hell be more interesting than what we got. Also, the region champ should be Heracles.
Hephaestus should be fire
Apollo should be psychic
Athena should be steel
Here's your Greek mons bro
Would the bad guy team be debt collectors? Taking trainer's pokemon until the Elite 4 pay their backtaxes and royalties to Kanto?
Can Hestia be a gym leader in the third version?
She's either your mom or the professor.
Her team is chandelure, tsareena, whatever smoliv eventually evolves into, and 3 mons from that region, including whatever the regional form of meowth is
That's all you have in mind? Not even a gimmick with all the islands? Maybe something like One Piece where islands have themes or perpetual seasons would be cool
So would one of the box legendaries be electric?
Sounds like too much water
>dionysus gym (poison)
What the frick? Lol
Because muh purple?
>God of wine
>Wine is alcoholic
>Alcohol is a poison
Fricking Zoomers
Don't forget the madness and blood letting.
Set it in the past, it may actually work like PL:A but better.
> You're actually banished from your Polis for reasons.
> You need to survive in wilderness full of wild animals and various nasty trainers that also got banished from their hometowns, probably for being genuinely awful.
> There's also army trying to catch ppl like you and turn you into soldiers and/or slaves.
> You try to climb back to society by conquering every Polis via official challenge to their current rulers.
> Also Poke-Persia and Xerxes are preparing to raid region with their army.
Yeah, if I could make a Pokémon game I wouldn't make it gym-based either, let me try and expand your story, I see some potential
> You and other followers of a Pokémon philosophy get ostracized from your Polis with an unjust trial. (You're lucky you're not executed)
In ancient Greece democracy was savage, even the lowest and poorest could decide your fate basically with no previous knowledge, that's how Socrates died.
> You need to survive in a wilderness full of wild Pokémon and various nasty trainers that also got banished from their hometowns, some for being genuinely awful, others are just outcasts
Real Greece is a very mountainous area, so I imagine a really interesting map design with a strong verticality, instead of there being your regular alphas, I imagine some mini-boss alphas capable of manipulating the map, ask you riddles (like the sphinx) or in general to mess you up in different ways instead of just attacking
> There's also army trying to catch ppl like you and turn you into soldiers and/or slaves.
I think this is the weakest point, I'd argue that a good point of conflict or a good villain should be capable of being reasonable. In that kind of democracy, the richest, who often were also the most educated, were a vocal minority which was trying to overthrow democracy. It would be interesting if your group were to be progressively split between two factions. Some convinced to defend democracy, others wanting to overthrow it
> You try to climb back to society by conquering every Polis via official challenge to their current rulers.
Based on your choice, you then could face different people and have different results. In trying to restore aristocracy, you could end up being an aristocrat yourself, and then you could see how they first were the responsible for your trial and you end up fighting them. Defending democracy would mean remaining an outcast but gaining the trust back of people
>Real Greece is a very mountainous area, so I imagine a really interesting map design with a strong verticality, instead of there being your regular alphas, I imagine some mini-boss alphas capable of manipulating the map, ask you riddles (like the sphinx) or in general to mess you up in different ways instead of just attacking
Now that sounds cool. In fact, that could be the fist half of the game. Just you trying to survive on you journey to and up Mt. Olympus to partition Arceus. Who just goes 'lol do it yourself' and throws some PokeBalls at you.
Greek deities are human-like with human-like qualities and shortcomings so why don't pull a reverse sword and shield in which you think the protagonists of the local legends are Pokémon but instead they are Legendary humans owning special Pokémon capable of evolving but with a divine form (Poke Athena's Starry Noctowl, Poke Zeus' White Tauros)
What would owning a Pokémon look like in a world without Pokéballs?
I'd say a system like Dragon Quest, with a party that just follows you and then collapses into your model, would give good results
Way too based for gamefreak. Would be a really great concept.
If the the Greece region gen doesn't have:
>Debt mechanics
>Bullet hell mode when attempting to cross a road
>Gyro-dex
I'm not fricking buying it
It'd be a mix of sinnoh and hoenn
as in, tons of mountains and water kino
