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.


The teams in Pokemon are nothing more then extended quests that hamper your way to compete in the league it's a nice little distraction when executed well but in a number of the games it's pretty meh overall. Pokemon being about the world and exploration like you claim is even more reason to have more then just one region that only goes to further reinforce why people ask for that so I still don't get your view here.

The league is the main goal, that is why the player sets out to begin with, everything else that happens along the way is all the better and more of that can happen when the player moves on to the other league anyway so no you haven't really presented anything really concrete on why it shouldn't happen other then you don't think it should.

Elder Scrolls Online is planned to eventually have all the past regions, something that you're arguing against, Elder Scrolls series also only takes place on one large continent Tamriel, each game is set in a region.
