Perhaps the villainous team this time around presents a global threat that requires representatives from every region to take action. Think ''[[Film/TheAvengers2012 the Avengers]]'', but with ''Pokémon'' characters.

After all, when Kanto was part of the GSC, we got Red in that role. This time, it will be Serena, so as to have a female player character in the role, and also because she would be more recognizable due to [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} the anime]]. Her team will consist of powerful Kalos-based Pokémon, including either Xerneas or Yveltal, depending on the version being played, and they will treated as having maximum affection in Amie. She'll be located in a new area that is right between Kalos and the new region.

Since these Pokemon are related to the sun and the moon, it only makes sense. The mega stones for Espeon and Solrock will be exclusive to the Sun version while the mega stones for Umbreon and Lunatone will be exclusive to the Moon version.

[[WMG:"it all comes together" refers to a region that melds features from every previous generation]]
Since adding every region beforehand seems overkill, if attractive, the more pragmatic option would be to have a region that is effectively a melting pot of different cultures, ie. the previous regions with nods to the events that transpired there.

Since this is going to be a new generation, that means new starters, and the Fire-Starters are always based on one of the Eastern Zodiac animals. In honor of the "Moon" theme, the Fire-Starter this time around will be a Rabbit, since in Japanese mythology the Inaba is the rabbit on the moon. If this is the case, I could also see the Rabbit Fire-Starter ending up a Fire/Dark-type in its final evolution.

* Maybe it was created during the dimension split mentioned by Zinnia in ORAS. The creation of the Ultimate Weapon caused the timeline to split violently into two, trapping slain Pokemon souls into a glitched out EldritchAbomination. Cinnibar Island is where the the two timelines are still joined at the closest and acts as a portal. Glitch City is the purgatory that lies between.

[[WMG: "Ash-Greninja" is a sneak preview of a feature from Sun and Moon.]]
It's probably not a true Mega Evolution, since there's no mention of [[TransformationTrinket Greninjite]] anywhere. Instead, A-G is a "pseudo-Mega" form, which Starters can attain some way; stronger than the baseline, but not quite as powerful as a Mega form. If the Kanto and Hoenn starters also have hidden pseudo-Mega forms, it would add an interesting strategic wrinkle to the metagame.

Now that Gamefreak has models for every Pokemon on the roster save the new ones coming in ''Sun & Moon'', it makes sense that they'd be able to devote more artist and modeler time to the world itself. And for the 20th anniversary game, what better way to wow fans than to one-up the famous, beloved regional shenanigans of ''Gold & Silver'' by making every single main-series region visitable in some form?

* Given how well-received the Delta Episode was, it's very possible the new Zygarde stuff may be put into an "Episode Z" to tie off the hanging Kalos threads that still may not have warranted a full game to resolve.



It may or may not be Spain, but if not, it is most likely a new region right next to Kalos. It will be the region responsible for waging war against Kalos 3,000 years ago.

[[WMG: ''Sun & Moon'' will tie into Kanto somehow, and possibly are patterned off of the real-life Shinto religion.]]
The timing of the announcement that R/B/Y will be able to feed Mons into ''Sun & Moon'' feels a little suspect, and even moreso than previous logos, Sun & Moon seem to be playing up the "Red & Blue" divide quite a bit. And both the sun and moon ''do'' play huge roles in real-life Shinto, so such a theme would make a lot of sense for a rebooted, more-true-to-Japan Kanto.
* It would also make a lot of sense for the "20th anniversary game" to tie into the original region, especially with how hard that angle is being pushed.

Expanding on the "''Sun'' and ''Moon'' will be to Kalos what Johto was to Kanto WMG above," Zygarde will play a role in this game's plot since new forms of it were revealed which were not implemented into a main series game yet.
