Which do you think it is ? Which do you want it to be? Personally I want it to be Europe so we can have British based things in it but I may be bias :D
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

I want it to be France. Europe would be incredibly big. I want it to be big but if it is anything bigger than France, it would be huge.
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

I think it's based on France or at least Western Europe. But perhaps it WILL take from all of Europe but in the trailer Pikachu shoots lightning from Paris. (You can see the Eiffel tower as the picture zooms out during the trailer as Pikachu's lightning spreads across the world)
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

Every region has been based on small parts of a larger country (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh are all based on Japanese regions, Unova is based on Manhattan). I think that the 6th Gen region is just based on Paris, and perhaps its surrounding area at maximum.
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

Well, Masuda has been visiting Paris in the past few years... Europe would be awesome. I want to move to Germany and it would be awsome to have it in Pokémon.
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

Honestly, I don't know. I would like it based on France, but the officals say Paris (So far) so...
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

Personally I think a mix between Paris and London would be good. Paris would be more old fashion while London would be more modern
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

If they used more of Europe, it would have to be large cities (London, Berlin etc.), but maybe cut down a bit? But I think I'd rather have a larger Parisian setting and really get into some French settings.
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

I imagine it will be part of France. They'll have to encompass part of the coast somehow as well for some water routes, so it might take in the English Channel too. I can imagine a mountainous ridge (loosely based on the Alps) cutting off this region from the rest of Europe.
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

Hmm... I think they did a little foreshadowing to a future game in Paris, or France as a whole. Fantina, then the one director in Pokestar Studios.
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

I hope it's not just France... Most of western europe would be good... Perhaps they could even have a little space for my little Portugal... But I'll be happy if it has at least parts of UK...

People seem to be thinking that the setting will be France, but by that do you mean a region that will resemble France, or be France itself?

In the trailer, Pikachu appears standing by the Eiffel Tower before it uses its lightning bolt thing, so does that say the game's setting will be real life France, not an imitation of it? It just seems weird to me to have a Pokemon game in a real world setting.

In the trailer, we can see the male trainer going down a street with an Eiffel-tower like structure in the background. If that doesn't imply a French setting, what does?
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

From what I've heard, the setting is gonna be the Paris general area. You can see it in the trailer as well.

Of course it can't be real world xD it will be based off of it with it's own flavors and names. The only time I recall real world even being explicitly involved was in dex entries like Ponyta.
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

France? They won't even have electricity in the Pokécenters! Is this really gonna be a medieval kind of Pokémon game like the Conquest edition?!
 
RE: Setting Europe or France ?

France is in Europe, so it cannot be "France or Europe".
That being said, I think the game will be based loosely around Paris.
 
I think the OP meant was will it be only based off of France or Europe as a whole. ;-)
 
Are there any fan-made maps circulating? I'd love to see potential layouts, even if they're not real.

I can imagine it's actually based on France - look at this picture. It'd be pretty easy to make a nice PokéMap from that.
