@skywake Why can't there be one set in Mexico? I mean, there are mexican pokemon but it's not like we are just mariachis, cactus, godly serpents and exotic birds. There also... ummm, wait. Aha! there's... no, that's an exotic bird too... but then, there's also the- no, wait, that's a cactus too... Oh well, nevermind, proceed.
But in all seriousness, yeah, that's a great idea, I'm pretty sure we'll be seen one someday. It's weird that they chose the koala pokemon for a game set in Hawaii but there are many other iconic animals from Australia.
@Meowpheel I think that since they gave us some pokemon already, it's more probable that they will choose to make based in all Latin America. But yeah, Mexico alone has enough animal and plant variety to make a huge list of new pokemon.
It's a shame, I feel like the rest of the world doesn't have the right idea about our country and that they mix it with all the other countries from Latin America. In fact, most of the people in USA that I have talked with believe that Mexico is in Central America and don't know that we are actually part of North America.
Asking for it to be based on an entire country is already a bit out of the ordinary (even Kalos is mostly just northen France), craming half a continent into a single normal-sized pokemon region would be a bit insulting for the countries involved.
@Meowpheel Of course it would be handled as any other region despite the influences from all of the countries involved. To be fair, we share similar aspects to many countries and considering that there are a lot that aren't even considered I wouldn't find it insulting. Maybe a bit disappointing because as I have said, we have more than enough in our country to make a really interesting region, but I'm confident that if that happens we would be one of the main influences for the game. I bet that Countries like Belize or Ecuador wouldn't even feature in any way.

Komala is obviously a Koala but Kangaskahn is also definitely an Australian Pokemon. Then there's the Sandile which is kinda maybe Australian-ish. Tentacruel who I always thought of as a Box Jellyfish. But probably the best of the lot IMO would be Heliolisk which... well... as an Australian I immediately loved the design
But for stuff they don't have? Well, too many to list. But just focusing on birds we have Cassowarys and Emus which are both flightless birds that are more like dinosaurs than birds. We have Galahs and other species of Cockatoo which are cheeky buggers, basically parrots who think they're dogs. Magpies which are a best described as a less subtle crow. Kookaburras which you don't notice they're there until there's suddenly a group of them laughing at you. That's a fraction of just the birds here that aren't found elsewhere. So there is plenty to go on.
Orre was excellent, but it was a bit weird and underdeveloped to be based on an IRL country, no?
Anyway, help me out with this: What is Kanto based on?
Kanto - ???
Johto - Japan
Hoenn - Japan
Sinnoh - Japan
Unova - US
Kalos - Hon hoh!
Alola - US
Because the main character would be killed by alligator Pokemon immediately upon leaving their house. That's how Australia works right?
It's a big country but in the places where there aren't crocs? There are usually spiders. So yes. Pretty much.
Unless you have your spider and croc killin' knives, then she'll be right.
A wombat pokemon would be great, but they'd have to get it right and make it a tank. There's also the platypus and dingoes and Tassie Devils. And Drop Bears, gotta have Drop Bears. A Tasmanian Tiger would be a good candidate for a fossil/legendary/mythic 'mon, being extinct.
