With Pokemon Scarlet and Violet pretty much being wrapped up at this point, the Pokemon series is now moving forward, and now begins to slowly move closer to the next generation of games. With that occurring, there have potentially been some hints dropped recently that may potentially be revealing where the region of the generation 10 Pokémon games will be based, and in this video, we will be covering it all to see if this is all really hinting at what's to come!

very nice video!!
@@meesieboy6096 thank you!! 😄
my dream region is a Scandinavia region with Norway,Sweden and Denmark Because I come from Denmark.
@@carstengottliebdam6682maybe gen 10 or somewhere around those lines i really hope you get your country as a pokemon region i really do i mean i will be thrilled if the netherlands became one but we will see i supose
I wouldn't mind seeing the Netherlands become an actual region, I mean it's not Scandanavia but I suppose it's close enough. Would you like to see India, Africa, China, Australia or the rest of North America become a pokemon region too? There's a lot of potential for any of these places to be made into regions, and I would like to see more American based regions in a later game at some point.
The idea sounds fun but a part of me wants the series to leave Europe for a while and try other continents. Would rather they do something completely different like India, Australia, or Mexico
Same. I would love to see other places.
We need an Oceana themed Pokemon game
Fuck it let’s go to space
I'd like Africa so I can get a cheetah Pokemon.
Yeah. Mostly Africa (Egypt would be cool as classic main game, and small african countries would do an incredible side-game) and India (it would be Copperajah's region)
If we do get a Netherlands region, it would be a crime to not have a regional variant of the Flabébé line where they swap out their usual flower for one of the iconic tulips.
Yes, it would also connect to another story from way back. Before the Romans came, the old folklore stated that every plant and tree contained their own fairy and the fairy would die is the plant died. Tulips also are symbols of royalty and at one time, they could cost you a house.
We currently have Orange, Yellow, White, Red, Blue Flabebe. Red would probably stay, cuz its the most popular color. Orange probably stays too (Its the national color of the Netherlands after all). Blue is the most rare and if we have Red and Blue, we also have White to complete the flag. So Yellow is the one that gets swapped out. Pink is the most likely to get added instead of Yellow, but maybe they can add a rare variant of Black as well, since that isn't a natural occuring color and since Floette evolves into the other colors with a Shiny Stone, maybe they can use the Dawn or Dusk stone for the Black coloration from the Red or Blue form. Also, a form of Lotad. Which has a cheesehead. Also, our food based plant mon should be based on the Carrot. They can even make a side storyline/mention of the TM's/HM's being made in this region, since Phillips were the once making the CD.
@@nickdentoom1173 sinistea and polteageist in Delfsblauw faience. A submarine pokemon because the first submarine was made by the dutch for British royalty.
@@bob8988 Yes and we should get a Clock Pokemon as well, since we invented the Pendulum Clock. We should also get a Water type Pokemon that uses a Fire Hose as as weapon.
@@nickdentoom1173 a microchip pokemon because the Netherlands produces the tiniest microchips in the world. Oh microscopic pokemon because the microscope was invented here.
It’s interesting because there’s definitely a clue in the game somewhere. In Sw/Sh there was a character who said they were a tourist who spoke in Spanish. I remember pointing it out to people and being told it wasn’t likely 😭
@@p-__ what.
@@Infernaliskif I had to guess, a bot
That's Sun&Moon actually, it was a Lass who was a hairdresser. She was from Paldea. They were working on Gen 9 back in Gen 7, which is wild to think about.
@@KingStr0ng nope, it was swsh. Maybe they had one in Alola too, but it was definitely a thing in swsh
i live in the Netherlands and a pokemon region based on the Netherlands has always been my dream and now it may come true
Same i would give my kidney
Yes I heard the Netherlands is an amazing country to live especially with all the rivers, villages, cities and the people being very friendly!
Helemaal mee eens Meesie
@@Eric-gp3hi yeah you're right!!
Wat voor vorm zouden jullie het geven ik zou zeggen the evil team is wat moeilijker te bedenken maar the starter pokemon zou ik zeggen a grass deer a fire wild horse a water seagull legendary pokemon also hard to come up with
If Gen 10 is in the Netherlands and involves Van Gogh references, I have a feeling Smeargel will get something. Could be a buffing item, or maybe it’ll get special treatment with the gimmick of gen 10, what ever that may be.
An evolution maybe???
@@robinbroeders4473maybe Smeargeargle with the only difference being a new hat? Kinda like how Dundunsparce got treated 🤣
@@robertperez2262 or a bigger paint brush lol
@@robinbroeders4473 an evolution which has giant ears and constantly chews on them. Perhaps it can throw of these ears or something like this would be cool.
People though the same shit in gen 7 with solrock and lunatone
Brassius having an affinity for Sunflora is kind of a clue too maybe since one of Van Gough's other most famous paintings is a still life of sunflowers.
As someone from the Netherlands, I would be so ecstatic if Gen 10 takes place in a region based on the Netherlands. But I also have a feeling that Gen 10's region would cover the entire Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg) since Belgium and Luxemburg on their own would be too small to be seperate Pokémon regions on their own.
Plus, there's got to be a mountainous area, and that would have to be the Ardennes.
There's also the historical aspect to consider. Dutch-Japanese contact was established during the early 1600s, under the Tokugawa Shogunate. They were one the exception from The West that was allowed to trade in Japan during the closed-borders time for over 200 years+ before contact with the wider world was restarted with the Perry Expedition.
Not only that, there are a lot of Japanese words that find their origins from Dutch words.
8:57 reminder Masuda is at tpc not gamefreak anymore so we don’t know how involved he is in the game’s development even if at all
While he might not be involved in the games development, he might still be involved in visiting locations, since TPCI still needs to visit those to scout for possible merchandise locations and art for the the Trading Card game.
I like how clear and audibly he says his words
Would love a Canadian region. We’re always so overshadowed by our brother country to the South but we are, in fact, a completely different country, and have very cool landscapes, cities, wildlife and landmarks that would make an amazing region
I definitely would love a Canadian region as well, that’s for sure!
yess
80% of Canada is uninhabitable and the rest is so boring yall gotta come to out here to shop and ski 😂
@@windragon12343 Canada is the second biggest country of the world. I think you're really underestimating how big the habitable space is. Just one of of our province on it's own can be comparable to an entire european country territory. In fact I know for a fact the Quebec province is about three time the size of France. So they could fit a game three time the size of Kalos on that area alone.
If they make a Canadian reigon, I want the Grass starter to bee a moose, the fire starter to be a bear, and the water starter to be an orca.
Well look at Artazon. It has a very Netherlands feel to its design. Large windmill surrounded by flowers. Sunflora represented like Van Gogh’s Sunflowers painting. It could have been a hint to that as well.
Mesagoza and it's surrounding towns like Artazon were based on Castilla-La Mancha in Spain
Well remember the story of Don Quixote? He thought a windmill was a dragon? And where is that story based in? SPAIN!
Bro, I just want a South America region. It'd be so dope considering Gen 5 was North America. Making Gen 10 South America would be cool. Also considering lore stating mew is from South America, what better way to give mew a new form. Also with the presumable jump in next Gen consoles, South America has soooo many biomes to use. Most importantly the rain forest.
Nah, we gotta have a 4,643,897th European region instead. 😩
Not just any place in South America. Mew was discovered in the one country there than has English as an official language, though they mainly speak Creole. I'm of course referring to Guyana.
If the map in the classroom is based on the Netherlands, it's more likely to be the area of Rotterdam (harbor) to me, especially with the Mamoswine depicted. The Rotterdam harbor has been expanded (2nd Maasvlakte) by dredging sand from the ocean floor and forming new land. The dredged sand contains a lot of fossils, especially from the last few ice aged (including mamoswines inspiration, the wooly mammoth). This might also explain the sandy depiction of it. The geodude might refer to Rotterdam being Europes largest harbor, importing and exporting a lot of resources (such as ores and coal)
Bro imagine a rock/steel geodude variant and a fighting/ice mamoswine
You heard it here first, the Netherlands is right next to Spain.
American geography. Most of them think Amsterdam, Holland, the Netherlands and Europe are 4 different countries
Not only that, he also said that Paldea is based on Spain.
@@polvocorrupto It's still fine, even thought it is based on full Iberia
This seems extremely likely for one reason: Japan's relationship with the Dutch in the 1600's is what led to Japan's modernization. In this way modern world Japan only exists because of its relationship with the Netherlands, such as the founding of Tokyo. This also fits other speculations that Generation 10 is heavily linked to Generation 2 and 5, since Gen 2 is based on 1600s Japan and Gen 5 is based on New York City. Most people don't know that NYC was once a dutch settlement called New Amsterdam, and in the 1600s, was at the forefront of modernization.
gen 2 is modern japan, definitely not 1600s, porygon and porygon2 are in, mewtwo was created 3 yrs before, fossils can be revived scientifically, etc
@@pikablu2000 Yes, but the overall lore of Johto focuses on the Edo period, such as Ecruteak village and Hooh, who was inspired by the Fenghuang bird.
More people would know the New York/New Amsterdam connection than you think; especially after listening to _Istanbul (Not Constantinople)_ by They Might Be Giants.
We really need to go to the Southern Hemisphere! I would love an Australian, Brazilian/Amazonian, or African region and we have been revealed Pokemon from different generations that are likely from those regions. I have a major theory that the 'Physical' Eeveelutions would actually take place here and so far is the only reason why we have not gotten any of those Eeveelutions is because we have only been revealed to Northern Hemisphere Regions thus far. Im not opposed to the Netherland theory though as German and Dutch references have been used over the generations. However I was anticipating many other regions before Netherlands/Dutch/Germany. Im from California so of coarse I am biased and been anticipating a Pokemon region based off California since it can pretty much write itself!
If you want a Californian region, you can include Mexico's Baja Peninsula. It'd be a crime to not include the Zorua evolution line because of a certain caballero from the early days of California that behaved as a comic book superhero. I'm of course referring to Zorro.
Paying attention at 5:57 you can make out the dark shadowy structures featured in the paining. It reminds me of The Sydney Harbour Bridge shot from an angle; where the lights of the city cbd can be seen through the arch of the bridge. The Sydney Harbour waters are at the forefront. Using ‘Starry Night’ as a background on the painting could be a hint to the fact that The Dutch 🇳🇱 (Netherlands/Holland) were the First European Explorers to set foot on Australia. Australia was also previously named ‘New Holland’ for this reason. Tasmania was chartered by Dutch Explorer Van Dieman, and was named ‘Van Dieman’s Land’ by the Dutch before being changed to ‘Tasmania’ after Abel Tasman.
Can also see the Southern Cross constellation 🌌 towards the left, made by the brightest stars. (Looks like a Kite 🪁 shape)
I mean, having a Netherlands region makes sense because of all of that though. Like - before New York was New York, it was called New Amsterdam Dutch were the only Europeans to trade with Japan in the 1600s, which led to Japans modernization. Like you said, the Dutch were in Australia, and you forgot to mentioned New Zealand is named after the Zeeland province.
It think they would add Belgium and maybe Luxembourg too. The Netherlands by itself would be a really small region in comparison to the last 3 gens. + it would be weird to leave Belgium out as it’s in the middle of everything.
You mean Benelux that is our name if we conect belgium the netherlands and luxembourg together
No no, belgium wanted to be its own country so they can't join us now for a pokemon game. Finders keepers😂
@@Dutchofclass 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😝😝😝
I mean... yeah... that makes sense, having the Benelux For the DLC, they can go Carribean as well, maybe do Sint Maarten and throw in Kalos references in the DLC because we share Sint Maarten with France.
@@nickdentoom1173 maybe galar cause what the uk is doing we get to hear see or know it first
I'm personally hoping for Italy, Great Lakes, or Australia.
It will be Australia they already teased it
@@sampicano do you have evidence that you could share?
@@Qorvid20 yeah they teased Uluru twice, once in a poster in BPSD and once again in Scarlet/Violet (Uluru being the most famous landmark in Australia)
@@sampicano interesting. Is there a link so I would be able to see this myself?
@@Qorvid20 yes probably lol, google it, in the same time it took you to ask me for a link you could have just looked it up
Just wanna lay down some counterpoints. I'm not saying Gen 10 definitely isn't gonna have a Netherlands or the wider Benelux region, but I think it's healthy to lay down a bit of skepticism with these theories. Let's start off with the map seen in Blueberry Academy. The map itself is highly stylized, which means we can't be too certain about the coastline. On top of that, the image of the geodude and the sun next to it obscures the southweastern portion, meaning we have no idea if that large body of water is a lake or actually attached to the ocean in the northwest. We also can't rule out that this map, if it is to represent Gen 10's region, can be rotated however which way TPC and GF decides. We could be looking at any location with a short peninsula from Denmark to Chile to Australia. As far as pointing to the first four gens all being based out of Japan....eh? Honestly any evidence that try to point towards patterns in previous games seems shaky at best. People have claimed all sorts of things based on perceived patterns cause we humans just loooove patterns. Fire type starter being Chinese Zodiac, even though Gens 1, 2, 6 and now 9 all not following it. Or how about Eeveelutions every even generation despite the first three being gen 1 and now gen 8 having none. As far as region inspiration, are we really gonna skip over the fact that Gen 5 and 7 were based off of America and that the three current European regions were not back to back like the Japanese ones? Pivoting to Masuda's visit to the Van Gogh Museum, that's not really consistent with previous travel plans. They normally travel to places much earlier on to get inspiration for regions. Masuda, Ohmori, and other GF employees traveled to Spain back in 2016, 6 years before S/V were released. If we're expecting a new game within the next 2 years, we should probably look a bit further back on their travel plans and look for more than just Masuda himself going. Only issue with this is that it'd put those travel plans right during the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they base the region off of another province in Japan or a shelved concept region from way back in the past. Now onto Van Gogh. I mean....yeah? Like you said TPC does promotions like this a lot, and I'm sure people can look back and pick out dozens of paintings in the games of various famous artists. But to focus on Van Gogh himself. Yes, he was born in the Netherlands, but nearly all of his works, including Starry Night, were all done in France, where he later died. I dunno how much research TPC did into Van Gogh, but I'm not sure it'd have bee enough for them to try and use him as their hints at Gen 10's region inspiration. Now, as far as what I think Gen 10's region inspiration is gonna be? Dunno. To be completely honest somewhere in the North Sea region, either Benelux or perhaps Scandinavia do have the most evidence that can be found so far. Sadly no NPC has made references to South American or Australian culture, which are the two continents I want to get regions the most rn.
they did the trip now bc covid was around back then, u literally just contradicted urself 🤣
They don’t even have to go to the Netherlands during the Covid period. Look up “Huis ten Bosch - Japan”, the inspiration is all there.. In Japan.
Charizard was the Dragon; Typhlosion is supposed to be the Rat but none of its evolution line are rodents; Delphox is the Dog; and I agree on the Skeledirge front.
@@JamesDavy2009 Skeledirge is supposed to be the Snake
@@pikablu2000 Typhlosion shares the pain.
I always thought I was seeing the Uluru in the Diamond and Pearl wall picture, especially after seeing it again in the art room or Scarlet and Violet.
Lol yes 100% going to be Australia...this video sucked lol
@@sampicano I hope so-at least two species based on Australian animals are in the roster. They are Kangaskhan from Gen-I (Pokémon GO locks that species to Australia) and Komala from Gen-VII.
This makes so much sense. And masuda does go to these places that then he makes regions from it. Yes!! This got me so excited
It’s pretty convincing because I remember there was a random Pokemon Go event in Spain and a few months later, Paldea was announced.
Amazing video once again dude, you bring up a ton of great points here, I can already imagine the flower fields and river-based towns in the Gen 10 Pokemon games.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to see a new region based on Australia, Texas, or Canada
I remember when people thought Gen 10 region was going to be based on Australia (a painting of what looks like Uluru in Pokemon SV), China (which could be foreshadowed by ChienPao, WoChien, ChiYu and TingLu), or Italy (because Iono says "Ello'ello, hola, ciao and bonjour", and we got regions based on England, Spain and France, and the remaining greeting is an Italian one).
I always findd it funny people are using the Pokemon themselves or the language spoken in a game as relevancy towards a next region, since if so.... gen 3 should have been an African region, due to Girafarig and Donphan for example... or gen 8 being German, because Looker speaks German in the gen 7 games.
@@nickdentoom1173 i love the idea of Gen 3 being African and gen 8 German.
How do you explain the painting in the main characters house that when examine its said its from a different region and looks like an area in Milan Italy?
That trip pretty much confirms it.. if not gen 10 then gen 11
What would be even more interesting is if they just added a DLC for Scarlet and Violet involving other regions and it's a Kitakami thing all over again. There's 10 main series game regions, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, Paldea, and finally Kitakami as I am thinking that Blueberry Academy is just off the coast of Humilau city. The Sevi islands are Kanto domain, the battle frontiers are Sinnoh's, Johto's, and Hoenn's (as Heartgold and Soulsilver shares the frontier with Platinum Sinnoh to the North as the Sinjoh ruins are on the border of Sinnoh and Johto. The odd thing is the Battle Frontier Island for Sinnoh is somehow linked with Johto as HeartGold and SoulSilver have the same Battle Frontier as Platinum but it's landlocked. It's me pointing out that two gatehouses somehow lead to the Battle Island for Sinnoh when Sinnoh is North of Johto and the Battle Island is Northeast of Sinnoh and further from Johto than Sinnoh.) We have 10 Regions, as Hisui is Sinnoh.
A couple of paintings in the player's house in SV look like Netherlands as well. One of a town "in a different region" and one with windmills.
maybe the van gogh painting was only to hint the museum collaboration 🤔
I mean, we also have a Pikachu Around the World Plushie set, which includes a Pikachu from Japan, UK and USA... but also from the Netherlands and China and them included in the set would be random if they don't get regions.
Its all fun n games till snorlax eats your stash of "rare candy brownies"
You know I think ever since we got a windmill in Gen 5 and then Gen 6, The Netherlands has been on Pokemon's radar to make that a region. And I know it won't happen, but wouldn't it be cool if this Gen and this region was the HOME REGION of Eevee and in this region we get the final Eeveelutions we need, but the twist is prior to post game you can only use the new Eeveelutions because their importance to this region overshadows the other Eeveelutions types. Because think about the evolutions we still need need-Flying(connects to the Windmills) Ground, Rock, and Steel(the landscape and cities), Dragon and Ghost(myths), Fighting(history), Poison(nature in danger), and Bug(with all the flowers and plants). So really these Eeveelutions would fit perfectly in this region and be a great story point for the region's professor to study(you'd even get an Eevee along with your starter to go to certain areas, trainers, or get items to evolve your Eevee partner into one of these new types that hold incredible significance to the region as a whole). This is my wish for Gen 10.
I mean, we also have a Pikachu Around the World Plushie set including a Netherlands Pikachu. Considering the past connection between Netherlands and Japan, a Netherlands region feels likely anyways.
@@nickdentoom1173 Yeah.
Flying can also a connection to all the different bird species or airplanes. We have a lot of people viewing birds, but also at leeuwarden where I live close to, a lot of people come to view certain airplanes ascent or descent from the milatary air base at certain special days.
@@rikmetz4720 Interesting, thank you ^^
You could also include the second gym city in Scarlet and Violet as a hint, due to there being a windmill there that the gym leader jumps from as well as the fact that he himself is a depressed artist like Van Gough.
And he is friends with Hassel, which is a surname that finds its origin in the Netherlands as well.
As a dutch person, this idea is so cool. But i would rather have a region based on australia or canada. I just don’t really see how a netherlands-based region would work.
I thought Australia because one of the paintings in the art room is legit Uluru Rock a landmark in Australia you can see the painting where Hassel usually stands, once you've entered the room
Yeah of course that's what it's going to be...Australia. But this guy needs clicks...so he keeps making videos.
@@sampicano Fair point...lets let pokemon tell us instead of youtubers they be lying anyways
@@Megamutt14 girl errrbody be lying these dayz ain't nobody got time for dat
@@sampicano He, but yeah, i got better things to do than to listen to....bull crap
Yep. It's definitely 100% Australia I think. I'll be kinda disappointed by that though because I really wanted China. The Ruinous Quartet was so cool.
Got my Folkachi plush and card! I have to say, your videos just don't do them justice! I'm glad I was able to snag mine before they're gone! 😁
Glad you were able to snag one!! Thanks for the support!! 😊❤️
@@HoopsandHipHop how do i get just the card
@@pikablu2000 the card isn’t available by itself, it’s a special promo item that only comes with the plush at this time.
The map also show stats of pokemon as if growing. Maybe we'll get a gimmick similar to dmax.
You should make some sort of interactivity between the cards and the game for your upcoming Histrobea game.
I like this idea but, I want an Italian region. With a pizza fire starter
Gen 10 must be related to Ben 10.
with Ultra Beasts in the plot, yeah, i can get behind Pokemon Forearms and Pokemon XLR8.
@@user-xo5wd6sg5zyou mean fourarms
*Humungosaur pseudo-legendary* 🔥💪
The canals really remind me of Alto Mare from Pokemon Heroes. If such a region were to come into existence I would love a reference or dare I say the ability to visit Alto Mare in the games.
i come from the Nederlands and i rlly like it if gen 10 set in the Nederlands as a little child i wish her was region that was set on it and now it can be true
3:01 The flowers look like the flower gardens in Artazon city just like the background?
That bdsp picture looked like paper lanterns to me at first.
In Mesagoza there is a Poster of a film with a big Sunflora on it that could promote a regionalform or evolution for Sunflora
The great thing about the NL and if they want to make gen 10 a big deal is that one of the greatest explorers of all time, Abel Tasman, came from the NL. We could see a game that focuses on exploration and go and discover new regions, primarily New Zealand and most of Oceania/Australasia. This could be a great way of combining aspects of the main series with the fieldwork feel of PLA
Ah yes, the the guy who a sea (known locally as The Ditch) was named after.
With the recent addition of Latin Spanish in the games and the batch of pokemon like Hawlucha, Ludicolo, Grapploct, Maractus (even the masks of Ogerpon) the 10th or the 11th goes to Mexico.
A Netherlands region would be cool! I can't wait to see the lore they include in said region! It will be awesome!
I'm definitely not opposed to it however I'd rather they venture outside of Europe for a while, I'd like somewhere more unique like Australia, India or somewhere in south America
I can see that as he shows himself holding a Folkachi plush that he has one of Lockstin's Tofrug plushes.
I just realized that there might be another clue to gen 10 being based on the Netherlands. In Paldea you can take pictures and add an effect to it. One is a crystallized effect, which is logical since gen 9 has the terrastalize gimmick. But the only other effect is a painting effect. The effect is very similar to van Gogh's work. The style of the effect is little stripes based, just like the style of van Gogh. Also why only a painting effect? The Netherlands has lots of famous painters, so will gen 10 have an amphasis on paintings? We do see a lot of paintings lately in the games.
If the netherlands gets a pokemon region before germany I am going to be pissed
The back of the Folcachi card real nice.
Okay is it just me but did some the pictures in this vidoe looked very similar to the 5th movie pokemon Hereos?
As someone from the Netherlands. The location of the map looks more like the area of the port of Rotterdam with the island in the province South Holland at the bottom off the map. I can certainly see the resemblance.
Vincent Van Gogh and Pokémon are 2 of my MOST favourite things, so I'm very here for it.
Funnily enough, I thought Paldea was going to be based on the Netherlands because of the windmills I saw in the reveal trailer. XD
Benelux region is also possible. That is bigger and conect to France. Plus Belgium and Luxemburg once where a part of Holland aswell.
Nah, doesn't convince me. Seems a bit random for something I'd assume gen 10 would be... the bdsp pic could just be whatever, decoration, and the map doesn't look too much like the netherlands region you mentioned in my opinion
It might not be as random as you think since we shouldn't look at the games only. Netherlands and Japan share a long history together. It even goes so far, that some Japanese words are derived from Dutch words as well. Japan has annual tulip and windmill festivals. The Largest themepark in Japan is called Huis ten Bosch and is inspired by the Netherlands. There is a Dutch cartoon character, that is very popular in Japan (Miffy). There is a Pikachu Around the World set containing 5 different Pikachu from locations in the world (3 of which are from countries we have regions in, Japan, UK and USA) and the other 2 are Chinese and Dutch (Those are random in the set if we don't get regions for them).
I HOPE they take their time and try to make a visually good looking pokemon game again
On your point about Starry Night, it does look like a Van Gogh piece, but I think it more closely resembles Starry Night Over the Rhone, which depicts Arles, France. Judging by the timing of that hint, it's possible it was hinting at a return to the Kalos region even before Legends Arceus was released. Maybe the choice to make it a Pokemon Legends game only came after the success of the open world style. One point in favor of the Netherlands, however, is that Van Gogh was Dutch.
Netherlands has all the requirements. Mountains, oceans, the required environments for certain pokemon, though there can be fictional environments. Other locations I’d like to see is Gulf of Mexico, Caribbeans, California to add to the New York and Hawaii locations in US/North America
I'm sorry, mountains? 💀 Netherlands doesn't have any requirements for a good Pokemon Game, I wonder how they'd make a flat surface seem appealing, also, no oceans, just a sea
You know I kind of hope gen 10 does something like the anime did for gen 9 as a celebration of the last 9 gens and have you travel to various regions for the world tour instead of collecting badges. Obviously they wouldn't be able to make every region fully explorable but having access to a few notable areas for wild catching I think would be a great breath of fresh air. And either allowing you to choose your gimmick or just have all available (mega, z move, giganta/dyna, terra) Idk how plausible that last one would be mechanically but it would be fun in my opinion lol
It’s definitely a possibility. Personally, I would like for it to move to somewhere different yet to be explored like a different country from a different continent. But whatever happens… I just can’t wait for the new adventure
Also southern parts The Netherlands were actually once part of the Spain, called Spanish Netherlands, linking Paldea to this next possible Dutch region perfectly.
Two Things that I Noticed with the Many Van Gogh References was A Heavy Focus on Snorlax (along with the Standard Pikachu and Eevee), which has been Making the Rounds on The Pokémon Company's X/Twitter Account, and a Massive Focus on the Colour Shades of Dark Blue and Yellow - Starry Night uses them, the Entire Collection of Pokémon/Van Gogh Items use them, and So does Another Piece of Art in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: the Flyer Players found in-game depicting what seems to be a Third Paradox Cyclizar Legendary in These Very Same Colours! If Generation 10, or Some Special Pokémon Title were to be Based upon the Netherlands, It would Need to have it's Colour Theming Match all of this, possibly with this Third Ridable Dragon Pokémon as it's Box Legendary - that's Why I'm Not Certain it'll be Generation 10, but some sort of Extra Title that Parallels SV, like the Netherlands sits on the Other Side of France to Spain/Portugal...
It's the all Iberan Peninsula not juts Spain! 😢
I would love to see a Netherlands region, but I wish it would be maybe Gen 11 or 12 to get a little break from Europe
The TVTAS islands woukd be really cool too
I live in the Netherlands, and would be interested to see what they'd do with it. The Netherlands is really really small, like you can drive for 3 hours and reach top to bottom. But we do have some lovely places, such as Giethoorn or Valkenburg which have quite distinct features. I'd say especially the part that is called Holland would be quite well suited to become a region. With Amsterdam obviously and Rotterdam, but also definitely the quintessential town of Volendam and the characteristic houses of Zaandam (which are both always flooded with Japanese tourists!), the fields full of tulips, the beaches. The only thing I'd say would be missing in a region based on the Netherlands is... mountains. We do not have mountains. Yes a bit of height can be found in Limburg, but that's really nothing compared to all other surrounding countries. So maybe they'll take Belgium too. The cities of Antwerp and Brussels and maybe even Bruges, the Ardennes. That would make it "whole". Or they just accept that there aren't really mountains and go for mining instead, representing either / both Groningen and Limburg.
Good point, though Unova was based on New York City, which also doesn't have a desert. UK also doesn't have a desert, so I think they will just use the Utrechtse heuvelrug or whatever to get the mountains.
What about a region based on Greece? The Titan Pokémon boss fights in Scarlet and Violet kinda give me some ideas for Legendaries of massive size and primordial origins!
I have another kinda hint. The Pokemon Zoroark Movie city was BASED OF AMSTERDAM. and the region it actually was in terms of generation was GEN 4 Sinnoh. And we already had Sinnoh Remakes recent
I think this idea is great The Netherlands is an amazing country with the environments, villages cities and people. Yes I would love to see a Netherlands region for Gen 10. Another country that I would like to see as a region for Gen 10 is China and Hong Kong. It’s been a long time since we had an Asian inspired region. The last time we had an Asian inspired region was Gen 4 with Sinnoh being based on Hokkaido.
Honestly somewhere like Indonesia or India would be great too.
@@1faithchick7 if u want india go check out @PragMagik's devhar region
Honestly there is so much evidence for Netherlands to be gen 10's region that if it ends up being something else I would generally be surprised. Heck when this started to be a theory passed around I started doing research on what kinds of Pokemon we could see. With how many famous painters there are we can have Smeargle evolve, the tallest sunflower ever grown was in the Netherlands so that could be a Sunflora evolution. I thought up a psychic/electric type cuttlefish that also connects itself to wi-fi to obtain knowledge and others use them to connect to wi-fi themselves...the Netherlands developed wi-fi. The thing is the Netherlands while they can just boost the size up would still be kind of small on it's own so maybe they would add Belgium to it as well.
psychic-electric type UNOWN that connects to wifi would honestly be dope and quickly shoot up to one of my favorite mons... oooh better yet make it a paradox unown
I doubt they are going to do anymore paradox Pokemon, I think that was meant to just be a Scarlet and Violet thing.@@pikablu2000
Netherlands also created CD's, so they can even have some story lore that the HM/TM/TR originates from this region as well. Netherlands is also so technologically advanced, they can get away give us new Pokeballs as well.. In terms of Pokemon: The Wolf recently resurfaced in the Netherlands, so a Grass type Wolf starter. A Cow Fire starter, based on the Frisian If we wouldn't have gotten a bird recently with Quaxly, i would say a bird water starter (Seagull). Now i think a beaver would be interesting. For the early route mammal - Hedgehog We have to get a Cheese and Tulip Pokemon Regional fish being the Herring. Gym Leaders Water Ground Electric Grass Flying (Gym is in a windmill) Dragon (The Surname Hassel originates from the Netherlands actually).
My wife and I just placed an order on the 9th so last day for the card. We can't wait to get both the plush and card
Now knowing that Pokémon's 30 Anniversary is already almost here my theory is that Gen 10 is going to be based on another section of Japan and release on the same day as the originals the games and will be titled Pokémon Crimson and Pokémon Jade
That would be interesting. One pattern I've noticed regarding mainline Pokemon regions is that they are based on areas whose official language is one of those the games are translated into (Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese). Dutch isn't one of them.
German/Italian Pokémon region LFG!
Altough, I don't think dutch is that distant to german, and Paldea is based on the Iberian Peninsula, not just Spain
@@kratossette42 That's what I was trying to say. As much as I wish for a Pokemon region based on Poland (my country) there's little chance for it to happen.
I mean, if the map ia supposed to be Zeeland... why are there images of two massive mountains there?
part of me wants to say that nintendo has made a point to translate the games into traditional and simplified chinese, and has been hinting at china in the lore and theming of pokemon like urshifu and the ruinous 4, but at the same time, gen 8 was full of hints towards india and we got spain, so i dont think anything in game should be considered a hint
Not to mention that a lowlands region (the Netherlands and Belgium) already exists in canon. The movie: Zoroark: the master of illusions depicts such a region and according to wiki it’s based on the Netherlands and Belgium.
From the map in BDSP it looks to be a bit more than just the Netherlands. Maybe Netherlands + Lower Saxony and Northrhinewestphalia.
Now we need to get some ideas for pokemon we might get
One of the legendaries gonna be a clock monster with giant clogs. 💀
@@KingStr0ng And the other legendary is gonna be a ship based on the Flying Dutchman Myth.
As a Dutchy I would love that!!!!
I think we should get one based on the American southwest so California to Texas. There’s lots of possibilities for location parodies to put in the game.
i cant get over the fact that "hoops and hip hop" is the uploader of the pokemon rumors LOL
That part about the map tho. Its for 50% Zeeland and for 50% Zuid Holland. The placement kinda reminds me of Rotterdam. And yes Pokemon went to Van Gogh museum.
I still want there to be a west coast US game the south of the map is LA and northern regions is the PNW with a Sasquatch pokemon being one of the legendaries
Omg i so hope it is going to be the netherlands! It will probably come out right when i move there!
I think it is hard to pull of because the size of the Country and also there are no Mountains there that could represent a cold place for the Ice Typ Pokémon. Also I think the painting of Van Gogh was promotion for the collaboration of the museum the people went wild there😅 I rather would see a totally different part of the World in the next Pokémon Game like Australia or India
For the mountains, they can throw in Belgium as well (Also instantly fixes the size issue).
@@nickdentoom1173 true that could work
They should do an America or Mexico region. Lots of inspiration for either, and Lotad and its line would finally be at home
Keep in mind that Unova is based on New York, which in turn was first settled by the Dutch, being named New Amsterdam. If Black and White remakes or Legends Unova are a real thing, I could totally see them reference the Dutch Pokemon region which would then become Gen 10.
As a Dutch guy myself I would be thrilled if the Netherlands would be the inspiration for an upcoming region. I even made a Fakemon region based on that concept that suprisingly worked really well. However, there are some concerns I have. First, the Netherlands is quite small. Not only by proportion, but also by popularity. A huge part of the world doesn't even know about the Netherlands, except for more adult themes like legal marihuana, the Red Light District or rave festivals. Maybe they heard from it because they like football or watched an adolescent movie, but then they don't even know it as the Netherlands but only as Holland (which is only a part of NL) or just Amsterdam. So far, the only European countries that were used were all popular places. Spain because of summer holidays, the UK because of its prominent place in history and culture, and France because of the international image of romance. The Netherlands doesn't have a theme like that, except the things I mentioned above which are probably not the things I think Pokémon wants to associate themselves with. Even tho a Grass type Pokémon based on hemp would be hilarious. Second, the landscape. The Netherlands is flat. This means that if you want to have a mountain area, which is one of the most distinctive parts of any region, you have to be creative with turning the hills around Utrecht or the three-country-point to actual mountains, just drop them somewhere or, what I liked to do, make them replace towns with Berg (the Dutch word for mountain) in the name. And that last one is only a thing if you have more inside information about the Netherlands on itself, rather than just being on a holiday. I do like the idea of other commenters to add Belgium and Luxembourg, aka the BeNeLux, so you can add the Ardennes tho. Besides that, we do have like a beach area, forests, big cities and lakes, but if you want an icy or desert-like area, you once again have to be really creative. I did a snow area in the province of Friesland, because of the connection with ice skating, but the desert area was right next to it in Groningen, just because of the earthquakes over there because of the oil drilling. For a fun amateur project perfectly fine, but for a multinational company it's weird to have such opposite location right next to each other. After that, don't forget that Gen 10 is a big deal. So Pokémon really wants to going big with the focus of that region. Making it based on a location that isn't too big and exciting is quite anticlimactic. More popular countries like Italy or another part of the US like Texas make way more sense. And finally, I personally think/hope that the next region would be somewhere completely else. Pokémon regions are currently based on three kinds of locations and Gen 9 already used all of them. You have Paldea representing a European country, Kitakami representing a Japanese region and the Blueberry Academy laying inside a part of the USA. So that could be a sign to turn Gen 10 into a location in another continent, for example Australia, South-Africa, Egypt, Brasil or China (since all the Asian representation is just Japan). You could also joke that it could be New Zealand, because of the Dutch looking map, but if you look closer to the map you would see it's actually not really Zeeland, but the most southern part of Zuid-Holland, around the city of Rotterdam. I do think the Dutch representation is fitting, especially the Brassius references a lot of people here make, but for me this feels more like the Van Gogh Museum collaboration is not a hint, but the actual reason why we have these references. Since most of the hints are towards Vincent van Gogh specifically.
Don't forget that, that popularity in itself isn't a huge factor for the rest of the world.... but Japan only. The Netherlands is one of, if not the most popular Western country in Japan. Japanese people love to visit the Netherlands, they are crazy about Tulips and Windmills (Heck, they even have annual Tulip and Windmill festivals because of that). In Japan, there is a Themepark called Huis ten Bosch, which even is the biggest themepark in Japan and is inspired by the Netherlands Japan and Netherlands go way back historically as well... and a lot of Japanese words are derived from Dutch ones. Nijntje (Miffy), is a huge thing in Japan as well. Its not only the Brassius references either. We have Hassel as well (The surname Hassel finds its origines in the Netherlands). Tulip might be another hint (Although this one is stretching the most). Quaxly is based on the Crested Duck - Quaxly's Pokédex entry in Scarlet could be a reference to the exotic origin of aforementioned species in regard to Iberia. The crested breed of ducks was introduced from the Dutch East Indies (Via Dutch ships) and popularized in North America. We also have a Pikachu Around the World set containing 5 Pikachu, 3 of which have regions (Japan, UK and USA), while the other 2 currently do not (China and Netherlands). So China and Netherlands are 100% coming as Pokemon Regions, else their inclusions in that set is odd, since for example, France and Spain are skipped. What the Van Gogh collab also has proven, is that Pokemon is massive in the Netherlands from a popularity standpoint as well.
Gen 10 should be a new gen with a new region plus all the other regions/gens in one game, plus all of the gimmicks that have come out in the past including mega evolution, this would be probably the most perfect game in all of nintendo history
I'm Dutch. So, yeah, I am just loving the idea itself. And it adds that it's your video. I actually feel like it's going to be true.
is there a way to get just the card not the plush
Personally I part of the people who think that the next region would be based on china. Just look the the treasure of ruin does pokemon literally scream «I’M FROM CHINA» at you and Spain + China were big part of the Silk Road
For me it’s only a matter of time before all of Europe then the rest of old and then new worlds will become a Pokémon region even if they did the legends arceus route for some of them and even in spin-offs like the theory for Pokémon Colosseum takes place in Arizona eventually we will run out of Pokémon region ideas until maybe the way future of the earth and even when we team up with aliens (that’s if we make it to the point) to do their own home planet as a Pokémon region.
