You'd figure Shikoku would be the obvious choice, since the last two represented Kyushu and Hokkaido

Shikoku would be too small alone. The regions in Pokemon are actually all scaled correctly for their size in the game. In other words, Kanto:Kanto is the same proportion as Sinnoh:Hokkaido. So Shikoku alone would be far too small.
@Son1x, Tohoku is about the right size, but far too geographically plain. It doesn't have enough interesting features to make for a good Pokemon game, and it's not set up to have much available in the way of water pokemon/ocean stuff, which is always important for a Pokemon game.

True, but a tweak of proportionality could come with a potential franchise revision, if that's what this turns into. A game where the world is smaller, sure, but denser, and you ultimately get more out of it.

A big point of Pokemon is the size of the world. People wouldn't be happy with small. They want a lot of towns/variety. Shikoku alone is nice, but if you combined it with Chugoku you get all of that plus the variety of Chugoku as well, and some really major cities like Hiroshima. Remeber cities in Pokemon are usually real locations too (Saffron = Tokyo).
