Which location would you like the next Pokemon region to be inspired from?

Genaration 1-4 of Pokemon took place in regions inspired by areas of Japan origins. It was until Gen 5 where GameFreak made the move to have Unova in Gen 5 be based on New York, followed by Kalos of Gen 6 taking inspiration from France and Alola in Gen 7 taking influences from the Hawaiian Islands. I really like this feature as it makes the Pokemon world feel like an alternate version of our world and not have every region be an area that is just round the corner from the previous region. I made this topic to ask you Pokemon fans if there is a real life location that you would like Generation 8 to be based and share some ideas for what kind of Pokemon/Legendaries there will be.

For me, I would really love the next region to be inspired by Australia/New Zealand. Despite never visiting there, I really admire the rich wildlife that can be found there and habitats such as rainforest, Great Barrier Reef and even the Outlands. You can have legendaries based on mythical creatures within the Australian mythology such as Bunyip, Drop Bear and Taniwha.

If you see someone saying an area they would like their dream region to be based on and it happens to be an area you grew up in or visited, feel free to add in/share ideas. Heck, if an Aussie on SF finds my idea of the next region ludicrous, they're more than welcome to say what region it should be next.

Could a mod please remove/lock this topic since it duplicated as I was posting it. Thanks.
