    Since this thread is super long, I don't know if anyone has posted this or not, but I think this issue is sort of resolved for me at least in BW2 with the World Tournament. No, it's not the same as traveling through every region; however, you DO get to battle all the gym leaders which is good enough for me.

    The issue with this type of game would be whether or not Nintendo can fit the data for all the regions into the flashcart...
    Then there's the question of whether or not Nintendo's graphic designers would actually be bothered to make a detailed and full-on game with all five regions. Somehow, I doubt that'd happen, and I think that the regions would be severely reduced in size and, arguably, quality...

    As callous pointed out, a lot of the money they make is based on people buying other games. But their is a way around this. For example, make it so you can't get the main legendaries from the other games. Meaning, you can't get Mewtwo, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, or Zekrom. Instead, let them get the other legendaries, meaning Articuno, Latias, Suicune, and others like them. Also, for anyone that missed previous pokemon events, allow them to get pokemon previously only obtained in that way.

    And they wouldn't have to control the levels. They can make the levels the same. Since each region (other than Johto and Kanto) has their own pokemon storage system(Bill's PC, Lanette's PC, Bebe's PC, etc.) You can start over at each region, while still having the data on them and having them in your PC in the region you caught them. And after you beat the elite four of each region, the storage system's link up so you can access any of them anywhere.

    As for it only being at the end of Pokemon, just don't have it include EVERY region. Have it include five instead. And make another game like this every five regions that are released.

    As for room for all the data, I'm sure eventually cartridges will be able to hold all of that eventually. Until then, have it on PC and console.

    A game like this may become boring after a while, but it would be great for someone just starting to play pokemon. Plus, for the players that missed the events, the idea of getting pokemon that they missed the chance to get the first time around will keep them going

    When it comes to games, you have to remember, keep an open mind, and for every problem, there is a solution(I don't remember where I heard that quote before).

    Id like to give an input on the matter. Do we realy care about going back to the older regions? The biggest appeal for any region are the pokemon themselves. A pokemon story with a new region that would include ALL pokemon and also that would have a convincing excuse for the presence of the Legendarys/Uniques would be way better than trying to make a 5 region storyline work.

    Think about it. In HG/SS you can get (eventualy) all the starters. But that happens way too late. How awesome would it be to be able to start Johto with a Mudkip? With a Charmander? How cool would it be to be able to catch and train a Dratiny and/or a Bagon a reasonable story time before the Elite Four?

    Lets face it, the best part of playing a pokemon game is putting together (preferably early on) a team of your favorites and 'living' the adventure while trying to follow the traces of the Legendaries. Im not talking 2nd gym Mewtwos or 3rd gym Dialgas or anything like that, just the ability to really be able to explore a massive Pokemon World the way YOU want!

    What you guys think?

    It's a nice concept, but take this into mind:
    Think about how long it takes for GameFreak to just develop one generation game. ONE. A year or two, three to four at the most.

    Now multiple that by six.
    You probably got...10 to 20 years. More realistically...3-5 years. Still....ouch.

    Again, wonderful idea, but very cost prohibitive time and manhours wise.

    I think they should, and so they didnt have to have level caps, just have the player start in the reigon they chose, and they get to chose where they go next, but you cant access you boxes from the other reigons, until you beat all the elite four for each reigon. so say you go to Hoenn first, raise you poemon, beat the elite four, then travel to kanto. You can get the pokemon you had in hoenn in kanto or any of the other reigons until you beat all of the elite four in every reigon. Also, i think it would be cool f they find away to incorporate contests again...I loved 'em. back to the point, the story line would be simple! Your home reigon is the reigon you strat off in, it also sets the Evil team for the whole game, but for each reigon that team has a different plan. You would get a new rival each time you start off in a new reigon. The reason you go to each reigon is differnt. Say you start in Sinnoh then you go to Jhoto because you heard that there was a pokemon league there. You go to Sinnoh because you heard of all the new pokemon. You go to Kanto to stay with a relative, but end off going on an adventure. You go to Unova be cause of you hear about the evil team heading there. Finally you go to hoenn because of you want to see the different attractions there. Those are just examples of what the stryline fo reach reigon would be like. What i would also like to see is differnet outfits for the player for hte differnet seasons! i mean they have shorts in winter! its just not right!

    They can't fit all regions into one game. I'd obviously buy it (I buy every game so..).

    It's not a "unique" or "new" idea .. But it's not gonna happen any time soon.

    Such a thing could work as a MMOG. But there is a problem with MMOGs in that they are like heroin for nerds. And in-game bonuses that cost real money would crush the franchises fair & competitive nature. Not that the company would give a damn if it made them money anyway...

    This is very unlikey to happen, but if it did i see coming in 5 versions....

    Kanto Version: Start off in kanto and choose your starter there.

    Johto Version: Start off in johto and choose your starter there.

    Hoenn Version: Start off in Hoenn and choose your starter there.

    Sinnoh Version: Start off in Sinnoh and choose your starter there.

    Unova: Same as the above...

    That's a way i see it happening if anything.. Time consuming and such. Unless they decide to make the player answer a series of Questions to determine which starters they get to choose from. I probably wouldn't buy it anyway. It would likey be Costly, and we would likey see copy pasted caves/forests. Unless the designers aren't gonna get lazy doing this time consuming project...

    Wait I got an idea. Increase the pkmn max level to i guess 600. Then make it so that each region is linked by a ferry. Dont care for the ship names. Then make it so that the elite four champs each give you like part of a medallion or something so at the end when your finished, you take on the "ultimate eight". However we would need a load of new items, new ways to sort everything, and other new things.

    It should probablly be in gba format so that all computers can play it.

    Problems:
    Game may lag the computer think of the size.
    Size would be about = or < 5 gb. Now where to put it all.
    who to trust to get it safely.
    Extra plot needs to be added so the time between the games can be explained.
    Take out all the "home region beginnings" from all the regions after kanto.
    The pokedex is going to be complex.
    The time it would take >:(

    Advantages
    a game all poke fans would love
    a little cash possibly
    and lastly Nintendo might come looking for coders from here(sic)

    Why not do ALL regions... in one super region?

    In Geography, you learn about the Super-Continent Pangea - when the world was all together, all the continents were one: before Earthquakes and shiz broke 'em up.

    Now the thing is, we know Pokemon is in Japan: but it's only hinted at, so they could make it as if they are seperated.

    So anyway, the idea is: basic pokemon, like, before they adapted fully: krabby with 2 small claws, kangaskhan carrying babies on back etc. all on one big piece of land: covered mainly is forest, where the spirits don't want you to go. You're a tribal child, setting out on his own to survive: he gets his pokemon (squirtle with water stored in shell etc) and is challenged by different clans: the ice clan (gym), the fire clan etc. They attack him as he has mixed types (instead of having a monotype team) and has angered the spirits.

    At the end of the game, the player manages to find the spirit of the super region, which then in anger at the tribe's ungratefulnes for the variety of types (getting bible style here) splits the world, splits the pokemon, and splits the beleifs.

    That is how all the regions end up with new pokemon, new types, and even different technological features (no phone in R/B/Y, but there was in G/S/C.)

    That could work.

    This theory's been brought up many a time in the past, and the best solution I've ever seen for it would be one where you can't use pokemon from a previous region until you've beaten the Elite Four in that region. Like, make it so your old region pokemon are stored away or something, take ONE pokemon with you, and start afresh each time. Sure, it'd be repetitive and bland, but it'd have every region to explore, and once everything's finally done, you can literally go nuts. :3

    The amount of data that would have... I doubt a ds card could hold all of that tbh. But it'd be cool. Kinda like the anime. But maybe instead of making you put up pokemon, they can just make the first region weak (ie. G/S/C) and make each following one a little stronger

    It sounds fun but i dont think so because they will just keep making more regions and this will get confusing and the space on the DS card might overflow 0-0! But again sounds cool but here is my vote

    I think it could be an amazing game, I know I am very late but you could have it so that at the end of the game you get to settle down as a gym leader or elite 4 person or nurse or some other pokemon job.

    This would take up unbelievable space to download and would barely fit on a DS Cart.

    And what about the whole feel of it? You'd be level 100 by them time you get to the 3rd region. And why would you want to see gen 6 mons in kanto?

    Then theres the issue of new generations. Or, say, you wanted it just to play RSE again, but have to go through Kanto and Johto first?

    48 badges, too many to catch to fit in a PC, one HUGE pokédex, 6 runthroughs, 24 elite members, 6 baddies to take down....

    And it'll get worse the further Pokémon goes.

    VOTE: NO

    I could imagine this being pretty cool. Although, I probably wouldn't want this to happen until Gamefreak decides that they aren't making any more generations. It would be a nice way to wrap it up, if they decide to do that.

    Idk guys, I mean I personally found Kanto in GSC to be among the most boring things ever. Although that's partially due to the fact there wasn't much happening, there is still the issue of having so much content and maintaining enough variety for it to not grow monotonous.

    Personally, I'd prefer to see an extra-large region with a ton of endgame content to allow you to obtain all the mons that would otherwise be unobtainable. Basically, I'm saying pack more into the regions, make them richer and more detailed before simply adding more of them. In particular, one thing I loved from GSC was the Ruins of Alph and Dark Cave, how they were just there, completely out the way, and you could explore them at your leisure, and they were simply fun to explore. But on the other hand, I was always unsatisfied with the reward for exploring all of them.

    Also I've always wished that pokemon was a bit more like FFXII- there are so many side things to do in that game- explore side regions, acquire rare and powerful weapons, get all the espers, hunt marks and rare game, other optional bosses. That's what I've always wished pokemon had a bit more of

    So tell me why this has to be on the DS when XD and Collosseum were on gamecube? This could be an amazing idea to give plenty of people a reason to buy a Wii-U. Future generations could even be DLC when they're released for the 3DS or whatever other console they'll have out.

    The idea that you start fresh with every region has been stated, and there's also this thread that would be another idea for a game like this to stay interesting: http://pokemon-online.eu/forums/showthread.php?24482-Ultimate-Pokemon-Generation-Challenge

    Just take away the nuzlocke part and have all your pokemon start at level 5.

    I would find it good to have a game like that, also I'd like it to come out for one of the main home consoles besides the digital system, I think it'd be really cool if you can play in all regions but, what by the time you beat the 3rd gen champion your pokemon will be max level... So I think that may be a Problem there

    Id be fine with a single region with a lot of content from other regions honestly, like HGSS. Access to Kanto, Latis, Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza, Hoenn and Sinnoh sound, getting the Kanto and Hoenn starter...shit like that.

    I couldn't imagine a game with all six regions. I think it'd be pretty bad honestly

    Why should Nintendo make a game with all the regions in it. They are giving us remakes almost every generation. Is that not good enough? That seems a bit stingy imo.

    It'd be great for the Nintendo people to make this sort of Pokemon game. Just set it up so that you can choose which region you start in & if you decide to start in Pallet town, you can choose to sleep in you get up early; sleeping in making pikachu your starter, waking up allowing you to select between charmander, bulbasaur, and squirtle.

    Even better would be 2 modes, story mode & free play. Story mode making your game like the show and character being Ash or other, and free mode allowing you to do ANYTHING, no gym battles needed or anything, you make your own story.... This is very long because I have been wanting to see this Pokemon game forever, which is also why it is quite detailed.

    Also, going off of what Evilblob said, it could be made so that whenever you enter a new region, your pokemons' stats would be renewed to a certain level or it could be that every pokemon except for perhaps a pikachu would have to remain in the region where you caught them. Another option, quite simply have it so that there is no limit to a pokemon's level so for every new region you visit, the higher the level of the pokemon there will be.

    That would be better as an online game where you can actually travel with your online friends.

    i think that everyone is forgetting the possibility of a console game and an original story. lets say all the regions are connected, you can explore every one of them and things are for the most part the same, however theres new characters, new problems to solve, new run ins with old bad guys. say you get to kanto or johto and you have a run in with team rocket, they steal all of your pokemon except for the one you have on you. you have to break into the facility that they are keeping them in maybe another trainer helps you out. a console game would allow for an entirely new experience unlike anything weve seen before. i mean they made colloseum and XD so we know nintendo isnt entirely against the idea of console pokemon games. i see alot of people talking this idea down. but i think it could be the one thing that every hardcore fan has been waiting for since gold and silver. and dont forget the concept of DLC if a new game comes out with a new region all theyd have to do is add it as a DLC. all the ground work is there. the areas all exist all the pokemon exist all it would take is piecing it all together. which wouldnt be that hard i mean ash moves from region to region in the show so the paths between regions have already been thought up an executed in at least some way
