A better idea would be a searchlight Pokémon line named Foxlux, Foxlight and Foxfare. Its name inspiration is inspired by 20th Century Fox. It represents 20th Century Fox and Hollywood. Its type is Steel. Its moves are Solar Beam, Aurora Beam, Hyper Beam and Psybeam. The reason it can learn all the beam moves is to reflect the searchlight beams. Here’s the Foxlux line’s Pokédex entry: Foxlux, Foxlight and Foxfare are Pokémon that are searchlight-like creatures. Its beam moves that they learn help power their ability to shine at night. There’s the Shiny Foxlux line and Regional Foxlux line. It can be found in Orelon’s (a reference to the state of Oregon) cities.

[@dannya1209]

Additional Ideas (1) Orcas. Yes there is Kyogre, but designed along the menacing nickname of "killer whale". Water/Dark or Water/Fighting (2) Bigfoot inspired. Monkey Humanoid. Ghost/Fighting, Ghost/Ice, Ice/Grass (3) Cali state bear Grizzly Inspired. Ursaring is like bipedal with rage, Grizzly could be quadrupedal with a SlowKing vibe. Natural color is brown/black. Shiny is a Golden Bear. Grizzle Bear is on the Golden State Flag. Rock, Ground, or Steel type to differentiate from the Ursaring, Pangoro, Beartic. high special attack, slow like the other bears though. (4) Wildfire/CA Drought inspired inspired. Coyote/Wolf inspired ghostwolf that has black fire coming out of it. I'm thinking Ability Drought/Flame Body. ghost/fire. This can transition into the "Trio" legendaries. Ghost/grass wolf for Oregon. Ghost/Ice wolf of Washington. (5) Dat Herb. Hippie looking grass creature. Abilities: White smoke, Compoundeyes? Grass/fairy, psychic, poison. lol

Another piece of history you may want to look into is the Shanghai Tunnels underneath Portland's city. It could be like an explore-able area in whatever your Portland-like city will be where you can access it in the middle of your downtown-district. You should be able to encounter both Ghost and Dark pokemon. Ghost since the Shanghai tunnels are said to be haunted by their past victims and Dark because said victims were abducted for human trafficking (shipping them to China, hence the name) and for of course what downtown Portland tends to be infamous for. Speaking of which, an idea pops in mind for a new common pokemon to be a dark-type seductive temptress that can be found in the area for *ahem* obvious reasons (maybe a coyote? I see some on quite a few occasions wandering around here in the Portland suburbs). Also, you better have the Columbia River Gorge as a route to travel, maybe between a Portland-like city to a cummulative city that takes inspiration from Hood River, The Dalles, and even perhaps Pendleton, idk. The Bonneville Dam is an important feature in the gorge with a fairly beautiful fishery for tourists. I'm sure you've already done a lot of research into this, but I hope I was able to give you some more ideas.

A few regional variants and gyms or towns I’d add: Regional variant of the horsea line that becomes much more powerful, very stealthy. They have leafy appendages and have an ability that gives them the bonuses of being grass type without any of the weaknesses. I’d also include some kind of undersea area with a legendary. Town: Some kind of tourist beach town with the kelp Pokémon and the horsea variant I mentioned, and the dewgong variant. Based on Monterey and has a massive aquarium, and a water gym. Picture something like a mix of lillycove and undella town. One more thing, replace the california fire starter with a salamander from the great redwood forests. It could be fire/poison and also learn water moves like scald due to it often being near streams, and grass and bug moves due to hiding under dead logs often

I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't mention any fossil Pokémon besides the Amber Bugs for this region. As such, here are some fossil Pokémon that I thought would be perfect for a region based on the West Coast. The first fossil Pokémon is a Dark/Fighting type based on the Saber-toothed cat. The saber-tooth cat is the state fossil of California, and a Saber-toothed cat Pokémon would be a perfect choice for a fossil Pokémon. This Pokémon roamed the region thousands of years ago and was a ferocious hunter, using its powerful jaws and brute force to bring down prey. It disappeared after the last ice age, and as a result, the populations of Pokémon it may have preyed on, such as Bouffalant, increased. The second fossil Pokémon for the region is a Psychic/Fighting type based on the Giant Ground Sloth. Fossils of Giant Ground Sloths were found in several areas of California, such as the asphalt pools of Rancho La Brea, and the Shasta caves. The Ground Sloth Pokémon lived at the same time as the Saber-tooth Pokémon, and would have been a formidable adversary. Its psychic abilities let it detect when its foe would strike, its tough skin deflects harsh blows, and its long claws deal a lot of damage. Like the Saber-tooth Pokémon, the Ground Sloth Pokémon went extinct shortly after the last Ice Age, but a few individuals manage to survive for a while on the islands near the region. And that's it! Any thoughts so far?

Most states aren't expansive or diverse in their landscape/culture enough to make interesting regions. It's not anything against the states but a lot of them are just small so making it a whole region is so much more interesting.

I really want to catch Polteageist so I can have a n-ice cup of coffee. For common Adapup I want really want to evolve into Varvixus. I want to have Yappurss, it totes adore. It will help keep Nebby in the bad lol. Buggernaunt and Aileean looks so cool and I want to catch them. Also try the local delicacy Laminab. I hope to see a Polterhyde if it allow me to see it and befriend it. Also help and repair Malwire broken spirit with friendship. West Coast region here I come!!!!

The East coast variant of Rufflet/ Braviary should be a mix of brown/ light brown include the flecks of spots on the white breast of the bird Pokemon, because the West coast variant is missing the signature markings to the osprey

When you talked about how the chihuahua-based pokemon was supposed to be from Mexico but was added for the valley-girl aesthetic, it made me sad to realize you neglected to include California's rich history as part of Mexico before its eventual California Bear revolt and annexation into the United States.

[@Pyrilewski]

yeah, i saw the Chihuahua, and got excited he was finally addressing Cali's rich Mexican culture, and then immediately felt super slighted.

[@andrewgonzalez7143]

@@Pyrilewski Exactly. Plus i was also looking forward to at least an Alaskan addition to the video with some russian references (since hawaii was kinda already done). To say the west coast has no culture or history kinda makes me sad. Gold rush? Asain immigration? Native Americans? Former territory of spain/Mexico? Haciendas and Missions? None of those were mentioned.

[@josephmccafferty4172]

@@andrewgonzalez7143 also how the Native American tribes during the Equal Rights movement had fought for the land the US gov promised them in their treaties. And when Alcatraz prison was occupied by activists too. The game's story could have underlying bits of those who had to create peace to the states, and similar to Unova's story, unite the gym leaders to stop the legendary conflict.

[@slevinchannel7589]

Good Video. I have to criticize though: If it's about Art, where is Farbeagle in all this? You know, the little one with the Brush as a Tail?? And the Pokedex Entry about the Grass Starter makes it seem like they are very common, but they are Starters! That contraditcts each other! What is the deal with Sentree?! Anyway, these Legendary Backstorys make me wonder: Did Solario and Lunala from 'Sun' and 'Moon' even had a Story that was more than one single Sentece long?!?! Man, when i think back at the Times of Palkia, Dialga and Giratina-chan, these were times... these were Legends!!!

[@JRCody-ds3ec]

If there was a game about technology vs nature, I'd love for the games to ditch the idea of an "evil" team and instead make two warring sides, one that supports total technology and one that completely backs the environment, and depending on which version you got you had one of the teams as an ally and the other as an enemy. Even building off of the two legendaries, if your Ally is the tech team, then they create Malwire with the intention of countering Polterhyde, While if you're allied with the nature team, you enlist the help of Polterhyde to take down Malwire. It would create a similar dynamic to Black and White where there is a moral question presented with two sides representing opposite opinions.

[@danielfunk7581]

You made a pretty good job! Here's a list for some random Pokémon ideas. For the regional bird of this region, I would like to see a Pokémon based on the California quail, which evolves into a roadrunner. The regional rodent would be a porcupine, Pikaclone is a prairie dog, a Ghost-type line based on cameras and Hollywood, a Jackalope, a Bigfoot, Wendigo, hummingbirds, superheroes and finally, Fossil Pokémon based on the Sabertooth Tiger and the Giant Ground Sloth.

[@iwontellyu3454]

Glad to see this. I must admit, I was pretty put off by your “Western US” region, because I didn’t feel like my state (California) was at all well represented by that idea. I had actually done one of my own before I knew about you, based only on Southern California, reasoning that Northern California would have different Pokemon and different things going on, because my state is enormous, but I am liking this so far. I had also planned to put a Disneyland analog in it called Pokéland (I’m only guessing you’re doing that because you mentioned it sort of.) anyway, thank you for giving us on the west coast some real love, and acknowledging us as something distinct from the landlocked states that we neighbor.

Polterhyde looks dope my guy!! I like the concept of both of those legendaries; one that wants nature to remain and the other that wants society to keep elevating. When I saw the rabot legendary, I originally thought it was a Regional Variant for Duraladon.

When are you going to do the Midwest? The Missouri or Mississippi River could be the surf roadblock, also in south eastern Iowa, there is a university town called Iowa City where the instrumentation for the first US satellite was built and is close to riverside, the future birthplace of James Tiberius Kirk from Star Trek, so you can connect that area to space stuff, like it’s the area where you can find alien Pokémon, just some ideas for you.
