The whole region would be going around the lake. I really like it, perfect mix between land/sea IMHO.

What are your thoughts?

I can imagine people would probably start complaining that there's to much water, and it's to much water. What I would like to see is a region with a ocean to the west, with a few islands, then if they could implement scrolling region maps to include more, then heading towards the east there could be the mainland, with stretches from the east to the west into the ocean. It wouldn't be like Hoenn since the main land would be apart of a larger continent. I was thinking to the south area of the region a swamp-like jungle area with a few towns which would be more like settlements or tribe villages. Then along the coastline and near center more open plains, forests, then in the direct center of the mainland a desert area with a city in it. Towards the north there could be a transition into a colder climate sort of like the snow patches in Platinum. Then in the northernmost area there could be a combination of a snow and ice to sort of make a frozen desert with a mountain range mixed in. Next in the far east there could be a mountainous area along with a few underground paths. I was also thinking that in the north not only could there be a few cities but some research facilities, and then in the mountain area in the east there could be a few sparse forests, a few towns, long routes and a couple of rest stops to heal.

*Takes a breathe*

Then in the island area there could be a tropical theme among the islands and big block routes like Hoenn's oceans(Don't you like that idea? XD) and a few of the gyms could be here(3 or so) then a few side quests. Also this doesn't have to do with the island area but I feel that GF should implement some new environmental interactions, such as when crossing a river when you don't have surf, that you can hop across rocks, and say your in a jungle possibly use vines to swing across chasms,etc.
