Talk:Kitakami

Is Kitakami a new region?

Looking at the way Kitakami was presented in the Pokemon Presents (8.8.2023), it sounds like it may be a new region rather than just an expansion (like the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra were). They describe the DLC as "extend[ing] beyond the Paldea region" to a new land, and the cultural vibe seems more Japanese than Iberian. The "school trip" piece also reminds me of the anime trip from Alola to Kanto, so I don't think we can assume that having a joint school trip implies that the two academies are in the same region. Should we assume (until it's clarified) that Kitakami is a new region? –Butterfreeism (talk) 20:57, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

It's outside of Paldea, but its unclear whether or not Kitakami is itself a new region, or simply part of a larger unknown region. Landfish7 21:03, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
