With the Unova region from Pokemon Black and White being based on New York, and the series leaving the whole Japanese setting concept behind, there are quite a few possibilities.
On the one hand, the USA has absolutely tons of areas you could set a Pokemon game in and base a region on. Basing them on the states individually alone would give enough content for fifty games, and from I hear, each state has it's own culture, landmarks, traditions, wildlife, etc (although the latter is unlikely to matter, most of the Pokemon in the games are based on animals from all over the real world and mythology, not just those specific to reality's equivalent of the region), leaving a massive amount of opportunities open. Some White House equivalent in the series?
How about though a different part of the world? I'd love to see regions based on areas in various European countries, an area based on the UK or France would be really original and a great change in scenery. Or even an Australian themed region or three?
What real world location would you want to see a Pokemon region based off of and why?
