Just had a thought Kitakami is a different region to Paldea. For the first time since Gold & Silver (well and HeartGold/SoulSilver), we're technically getting a second region in a Pokémon game, rather than an expansion of the existing region. That's wild.

So, probably another controversial opinion. I don't like remakes. I don't want more remakes. I'd much rather, if we HAVE to get a game in an old region, have it be the same region but X amount of years later, so Sinnoh 15 years later, Kanto 25 years later etc.
