Who said every region? Nice strawman argument, Pokemon is about competing in leagues much like a sport in real like and numerous sports have competitors who compete across leagues. This isn't like other RPGs were the goal is to just follow the story and stop the bad guy so your whole comparison to other RPGs is broken from the start although it's funny Elder Scrolls Online is going to dowhat you're trying to dismiss, Pokemon's concept not only allows the possibility of it but for it to work consistently well. |
The way you worded it implied all. Excluding random regions in a multi region Pokemon for no reason would piss off the people who actually liked the excluded regions. This isn't Gen 2. We know there are more regions than just Kanto and Johto now, so they wouldn't get away with just releasing a game with Hoenn, Unova, and random Gen 7 region.
Pokemon is about exploring a world inhabited by Pokemon. It contains competing in leagues, but it isn't about competing in leagues.
Pokemon is 100% about following a story and stopping a bad guy. If it wasn't, and it was only about "competing in leagues," no one would care about "multiple regions" because nothing about the regions themselves lend to that. The game would just be full of Battle Frontier-type islands and zones and the goal would be to beat all the areas. But it isn't. All the Pokemon league is is a giant type matchup tutorial for newcomers. That's it. Pokemon isn't about gyms and the Pokemon league. It's about the Pokemon and the world. And there's competitive battling, used to flesh the Pokemon out, just like a character's moveset in any JRPG fleshes them out.
Elder Scrolls online includes every continent of every past game with the same density of content that those games had? I highly doubt that.
