What's the point? Unless I understood it wrong, the Mega Stones are stuck in ZA? Champions likely won't be using them as it has its own Omni Band gimmick to enable DMax, Mega, and Tera in a Pokémon... 🤷🏻‍♂

"The region is an archipelago inspired by Southeast Asia and Indonesia, not Greece."

Indonesia is part of SE Asia, so "Southeast Asia (Indonesia)" is maybe the better phrase.

Hilariously, my friends and I have speculated Indonesia since rumor about island themed region came out a year ago. This is because Indonesia has seen a rise of Pokémon events in recent years, such as Pikachu Journey and exclusive costume Pikachu in GO. But people kept laughing at us and insisting it would be Greece-inspired (which would be cool, too, honestly). That's why we were actually surprised when we saw the leak. "Our theory was right?" 😃

And if it is really based on Indonesia, then we'll be the one laughing in the end.

That's only the placeholder date. Launch could come sooner, just like Teal Mask / Indigo Disk.

But yeah Feb 28 is the latest possible release date, so it could come out on that date anyway.

"This complaint is especially odd"

Not really, though. Maybe because it's like a pattern of the series, that it felt predictable? Then again, I'm saying this as a general audience, not a fan. And yeah, that style of slipping in backstory is nice. But it gets old when repeated again and again. 🤷🏻‍♂

A bit annoyed that the only regionals of my region (Corsola, Chatot) have been treated like non regionals, while others like Bouffalant or Pachirisu you mentioned have stayed regional exclusive until now.

At least, give the other regionals their worldwide debut, too. Otherwise, it honestly feels like the message is my region is so insignificant and not special. If anything, they should have added another regional to replace these two.
