...I was dreaming that I was visiting the gamefreak staff in their offices. Where I managed to see plans for their next generation, and it was so cool that I had to share it.
The main theme was going to be about temperature extremes.
And they decided to take "multiple versions" really serious this time, instead of just a minor variation with some version exlcusives.
So the two games would still share a similar plot, but they would actually feature different regions!
One based on Hawaii and the other on Iceland.
Both exotic islands with a big volcano as an important location, but otherwise contrasting hot/cold climates.
The regional dex had 300 pokemon, both consisting of 100 new ones and 200 old ones, but 100 of the old ones would be completely different!
So where Iceland used Frillish and Geodude, Hawaii would use Tentacool and Roggenrola instead.
And of course Iceland would resort to more pokemon like Cubchoo, Cryogonal and Snorunt, whereas Hawaii would have Dwebble, Tropius, Noibat and whatnot. But they both shared Numel and Slugma for example.
As for the new ones...some of them would be simple version exclusives that just fit one region better of course. But some would be in both versions, yet differ greatly. Think, like Shellos looked different depending on which side of Sinnoh you found it, but in this case even with different types.
The only example I can remember was the Pidgey-clone. In both cases it was an exotic 3-stage bird, that looked almost the same, just different color and patterns, and as it evolved, it gained a type, but becoming an Ice/Flying type in the cold version, and a Grass/Flying only in the tropical one instead. *-*
I woke up and thought it was an interesting idea xD

Potential Galarian form candidates
EDIT: updated. Made more Galardex confirmed mons grey and picked orange for confirmed to either have a new form or evolution in their line.
Went through all PKMN and marked all the highly plausible candidates for getting Galarian forms. Grey are evolutionary families of which at least one member has been confirmed to appear in regular form in Galar (so they could still get a form for a late unconfirmed stage or gain a new evolution, but otherwise seem less likely than white ones).
Things I assumed as a disqualifier (of which any might be incorrect):
-having gotten a cross-gen stage before
-having gotten a Mega
-already having a gimmick i
The news we just got is bigger than you'd think
Obstagoon is essentially the encapsulation of multiple bits of information that are all huge news in their own right to me.
1. By confirming regional variants to not merely be a "gen7 gimmick", it can now officially be called a staple feature, which isn't just great for SwSh but for the franchise.
2. By showing us that regional variants are NOT exclusively generation 1 PKMN, which makes me hopeful that eventually some obscure Unovan PKMN will get a piece of the spotlight etc.
3. By, on top of that, confirming that permanent new cross-generational evolutions are a thing again for the first time since 2006 (I'm not counting Sylveon for being
Let's Go were predictable since Sun/Moon
I think I just blew my own mind and feel dumb for not having predicted this xD...
At this point it should be really obvious to everyone that the Alola forms (or rather which PKMN got them and what types they had added) were made specifically based on what the first generation of PKMN isolated is lacking in type diversity (in the context of the 3 new types since then, as well as overall).
I realized that early on (they weren't based on popularity and they definitely weren't random or shared any other traits, besides complementing the original Pokedex really well with every single addition), but didn't understand why they would ever do that,

I've been going by that nickname anywhere related to PKMN recently as you may have noticed. And since I've even started using it in the signature on my art, I went to check if there is a way to change your nickname on deviantArt.
Sure enough there is, but it's exclusive for Core members XD
So I've been thinking about whether it's worth getting that just for the name change...
But I've also found out that you cannot even buy a 1 month membership for yourself, the lowest is 3 months. You can however gift someone else a 1 month one, because..reasons? xD
That got me thinking of another option. Does anyone have any kind of request I could fulf

If only. I don't think developing two separate regions would be very feasible, it would basically be like developing two games. That would be a neat idea, though.
I think what I'd like to see them do to expand on the concept of version exclusives would be if they had different storyline paths. Using Kalos as an example, they could do something like where in one version, you would go to Coastal Kalos and then Mountain Kalos, but in the other version you go to Mountain Kalos first and then Coastal Kalos. That way you would still be exploring the same region but it'd be a different experience between versions.
