10 Regions That Would Be Perfect For Pokémon Gen 10
now has nine generations under its belt, and many generations have taken their players to very different locations inspired by a myriad of places from the real world. With and being two and a half years old and coming out later this year, it looks like GameFreak will be looking toward its franchise's 10th generation relatively soon.
