to clarify Germany has many mountains and there is an icelike region south germany is like that....so it could be based of germany but i dont think so
it could also be a mixup from many locations ?:) no specofic region

What'd I say? A new entry for the Switch.
But I can't help to think it's been made with the "Let's go" engine?
It most likely is the Let's Go engine. Gamefreak tends to make one engine per console generation and just continue to update that engine until the next console generation.

I love it so far. The only thing that I wish for this game, is that they have enough new Pokémon to not get drowned out or over looked by all of the older Pokémon in the game like Gen 6 and 7
from the trailer of so many old pokemons im guessing it will be again like 70-80 new ones and the rest old ones.

I guess it is fair, not to drop so many new Pokemon for each game now. Although, I wouldn't want it to decrease too much.
i miss the days where we always got 120+, now if we get 70 we are lucky and those 70 many are evolutions and stuff so fully evolved we get like ~50

x,y fully evolved pokemons that were new is 36
sun moon fully evolved list is 51(thanks to so many ultra beasts tough)

Just gonna say, Skorbunny really isn't any worse of a name than Charmander or Torchic were. They both just as lazily named (Charmander=Char+(Sala)mander and Torchic=Torch+Chick). Skorbunny just doesn't flow as well, but it's not any lazier as far as actual naming convention goes.

I wonder if they will allow trading from 3ds to the switch.. :ninja:
You'll be able to use PokeBank to transfer everything from the 3ds to the Switch, but not back again.
That's what they built PokeBank for.

    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.
