    That would be fun, but waaay too confusing. I'd say not, but more games like HG/SS, where they repeat other regions. (Can't wait for Hoenn!)

    Lol a Mega region game... Omg soo many plot twist and different villians to deal with... the only problem is its on a hand held so soo much for all of that content and Nintendo si probably too lazy anyway. I have always thought about this and I think its a great idea on paper but reality says differently it will get booring after a while since the Pokemon stories aren't all that hot anyway...

    On a side note I would love to see a console release similar to Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness... New story new Characters and a story that kicks ass

    While it seems like it would be a good idea on paper, you can look at HG/SS and see how much they had to control the levels in Johto so pokemon weren't overleveled for Kanto. Trying to do this for 5 regions would be nearly impossible, without keeping the levels at 20 after the first region.

    I think it would be fun to play, as long as the 5 had very distinct, separate story lines that couldn't be confused. Also, it won't happen as it just isn't a good marketing idea for GameFreak.

    I actually liked the Kanto+Johto thing in Gen II.

    Wish they'd have one for Gen III+IV or something.

    Yeah and then Pokemon would finally get competitive with lv 100s . I doubt they can make something like that on the NDS though, we might need a console change

    No
    Kanto was awesome by itself in RBY and FR/LG
    But it seemed so bland when combined with Johto. Johto itself seems bland as well, and it needed to rely on Kanto for everything. HG/SS tried fixing it, but it's still not there.
    If they manage to do it where all the regions are awesome, then sure, but I don't see it. Seriously, compare Hoenn and Sinnoh to Johto+Kanto and the former seem a lot more interesting than the latter.

    Perhaps if they made the max level of pokemon 200 then sure. But there would be no way to do this without completely ruining the game. Gym leaders would be so easier, everything would be boring in this game.

    Only 200? 400 sounds better. And I love this idea, but Nintendo would probably make it near impossible to level up, as they probably won't remove the level limit.

    I have always wanted gf to make a pokemon game like this, but they would have to make you start over in each region with new pokemon like ash does in the anime or something.

    The game cartridges will probably be too small to fit all the data.

    And yeah, level controlling would be harsh.

    Interesting, yes. However i must agree with Crystal. The region combo seemed so.. bland. Like it did not have anything that cool. Now also think about it, they need to make the story correspond, which i dont think is that hard, but they need to make a story which goes on for five regions. Now have any of you guys played games like Tales of the abyss? Tales of The World? Final Fantasy to some extent. They are interesting at first, but Get SOOOO incredibly boring after a while, with all the training, encounters etc. If gamefreak somehow get through this, then i guess the game would be fun.

    All five badges and a game, which is a lot longer than the others, because the other ones are boring after a while.

    *Imagines facing Red, Gold, Ruby, Diamond, and Black all in one big battle/elite 4 and champion*
    I'd buy it.

    It might be cool if we deposit our team everytime we change regions, but no...
    How big would the game card be?
    Replaying the game would be tedious
    And I guess Nintendo would have to charge waaaaaay more for this game, Emulators would not be an option because of the game size
    It seems like an awesome idea on paper, but no, I don't support this..
    ALSO, is there a user named Victini? O_o

    Uff, I would love such a game... actually, I am posting this just to try and post something, since it is my first time on forums, but ehy, I would REALLY like such a game... Is that because I am a journeys maniac?

    You are right, those problems exist but... I heard they improved game cartridges' memory?

    I've always dreamed of a game like this. It'd be fitting for the last game of Pokemon.

    Positives:
    -There wouldn't be a large need to trade to complete the Pokedex (assuming it's only one version)
    -Unique features of each region can be experienced all in one game
    -Sales would go pretty high

    Sadly, I can think of a bunch of negatives (some have already been mentioned):
    -It would be pretty much impossible to fit the data in a DS cartridge
    -Putting in ALL the regions--not just the five main ones--would not be possible on any system as of now
    -Level control: It would be hard to control the levels. Sure, it was not too rough for when they put Jotho/Kanto together, but imagine controlling levels for all 5 games at once.
    -Unless they put in a plane/boat system to travel from the regions (specifically Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova), it would be a LONG surf
    -Story plot: Well, we know the Gym Badges, Pokedex completing, but what about relating to the legendary Pokemon? Maybe the time setting could be set to a point where each new region you travel to, a villain team is doing their scheme?

    (I must've put too much thought on negatives. >.<)

    I'd also like to see how they would do with the Hall of Fame...or maybe something bigger. :o

    That would be good, but only if you could have a partner throughout the entire game. And possibly get a couple of Master Balls along the way..........but otherwise you could have some serious trouble trying to make the perfect team:mad:

    I think this would only work if they had the level caps around like what they did for GSC by E4, and then went up a few levels higher than the start (8-9 as opposed to 2-3, for example) every time you made it to a new region. It would have to be controlled so that you couldn't use any pokemon from the previous region in the new one until you beat that region too, and you couldn't go back and train new pokemon in old region.

    Like, say, instead of using my level 50 Venusaur against level 8 Pidgey's in Johto, I'd have to use my new level 10 Chikorita.

    I agree with what was said earlier, though; no matter how you look at this, it will be tedious, and it would be too tedious to make you use new pokemon every time, but it wouldn't be possible with the level 100 cap to do this for five regions in a row with the same pokemon ,unless they started putting competitive leaders in of course.

    Imagine that they started making the level 60-70 gym leaders of gen 3 have competitive teams. They could afford to not increase levels so much, if they (for example) gave Brawly a Sableye to own your Alakazam that was going to run through his team. And if most/many trainers had larger teams, there wouldn't be need for as high levels, because you'd be busy training 4-5 pokemon to cover all the types with while you were going through.

    Basically, to work this, it would take too long to make, it probably wouldn't fit on one cartridge if they tried to do it with quality (although cartridges have evolved a lot since the days of G/S/C...), it would take too long to play, it would be unbalanced or even possibly unfair, and it would get a low rating and become the black sheep of the Pokemon name.

    Although I wouldn't mind a computer game of the same thing.

    If they do it, maybe it'll be for the end of the Pokemon series
    So no :p

    Also, they really need to think of better stories for the games. Being repetitive in some parts is alright, but...everything?...

    I agree with luungoc that such a game would be the last game of the pokemon series and we dont EVER want that to happen. And i also agree with crystal slime that kanto+johto is nothing compared to the idea of a hoenn+sinnoh game which would be ridiculously sexy!

    The problem is, the regions Hoenn and Sinnoh are based around are very far apart (one at the north end of Japan, the other at the south). I do expect the 6th generation to include the Unova region though :3

    Considering Kanto felt very... bland in the second generation games I don't think it would work with all ones unless they made some big changes... I think it's pretty unnecessary.

    That would be GREAT, I have always hoped for this event.
    Also, it would be enough to build some airports in all regions of previous generations, the fifth generation already has one.
    I would also start in favor of the adventure in every region with their standard starters, once you've finished the whole game story you can use all the pokemon in all regions, this is to solve the level problem.
    Finally, it would also be nice to have the opportunity to challenge again the gym leaders as in the
    DPPt - HG/SS generations.

    I say Yes, with these rules:

    You may only take an absolute maximum of two Pokemon to the new region. These will have their power until you unlock the correct number of gym badges. So basically, I have a Charizard, Pikachu, Primeape, Gengar, Alakazam and a Golduck in my team. I choose to take my Pikachu (level 69) and my Primeape (level 70) to Johto. Upon arriving, I find that my attacks over 50 base power all say (Base Power: 50). Primape has this too.

    Thoughts? Idk.

    Lol. Good one Green eyed russian. Having airports would make sense so that u can travel from one region to another.
    And also the bad guys i.e team rocket, aqua, magma, galactic and plasma could form an alliance in that game and try to capture all the legendary pokemon to rule the world together.It would be epic.

    Then, it should be like, the player can play through each reason, defeating that region's evil team. Then finally when the player played through all the regions, the bad guys form an alliance & come back for revenge (of course they definitely MUST have a better plan than current ones, like, preparing to deal with the player, have some surprising turn of events, involve some time traveling, mind control, etc, idk). I don't think Pokemon can be made more difficult (fighting 4 grunts one right after another in BW is pretty much it I guess), but a good story is surely in order for the Pokemon series. Oh that'd be nice.
    Well, that'd be a good ending for the Pokemon series also :(

    Well, Pokemon has never really been "hard" outside of challenges such as nuzlocke. They should actually make a part which is actually very difficult and you have to think very stragetically to win, such as four team leaders straight in a row :/

    After all, we are more intellegent than AI.

    Just a thought--perhaps we don't have to finish the regions in order?
    Finish 3rd gym of area, then take airport over to other area, that sort of thing.

    It wouldn't be a good decision whatsoever from their point of view as

    A It would make all of their future games have to live up to the same standard of epic awesomeness or simply be worse. Where do they go from there?

    B A lot of how they make their money is the fact that in order to catch all the pokemon and get all the things potentially available to you you need to purchase multiple games. They are never going to put everything all in one.

    Strong no vote from me, as it simply does not make logical sense.
