What If Scandinavia Was A Pokemon Region?

Scandinavia. The home of the Vikings, Fjords, beautiful mountains, and Norse Culture/Mythology. It's a very interesting group of countries, and today I set my sights on them and talk about what Scandinavia might be like as a Pokemon Region! In this video I go over possible locations, brand new Pokemon ideas, and the potential story of a Scandinavia based Pokemon Region!

It's time for "Mr. Buddy: The Movie"

Just kidding, but for real, here's the longest video I've ever made! I've been working super hard on this one, so I hope you guys like it! (I'll be over there, passed out, if you need me)

Me as Scandinavian would absolutely love a Pokémon game like this.

Nintendo, hire this man.

IKEA should have been a gym. It should have been impossible to get through.

I have two suggestions

1. You could make a sequel where Finland, Åland, faroe islands and iceland are in it like how they expanded unova in black/White 2

2. You could make Gotland a legendary location since it is the placera where the biggest viking treasure was found.

I'm honestly surprised that the three dragons of Norse mythology, Nidhoggr, Jormungandr and Fafnir, weren't represented as the starter pokemon. Nidhoggr could have been the grass one and learned some pretty potent poison type or life draining moves later to reflect his nature as a devourer of the dead, Jormungandr could have been the water one since Odin cast him into the ocean where he eventually grew so large he encircled the world, and Fafnir could have been the fire type since he generally showed all the stereotypical traits of a dragon and was the big inspiration for Tolkien's Smaug.

Dear Gamefreak. PLEASE take notes! Seriously, for someone who absolutely loves cold regions, especially Scandinavia, a scandinavian themed Pokémon Region would be a dream come true.

SUDDEN IDEA:

-The Prophecy is not referring to the player, but us actually talking about Sigurd.
Why this could work:
-Sigurd obtained one of the Starters from the egg, trained and befriended it over time.

-After Sigurd's change of heart, he makes it his mission to change Team Berserk and stop their Dragon-killing tyrannical ways.

-He promises to fight against Team Berserk alongside the player if they ever attack the region again.


I know it's just a weird little fan idea, but I think it's pretty good. It would subvert the cliché of the prophecy talking always about the main protagonist and it would be a cool plot twist. The player is not the one referred to in the prophecy, but instead is the one who acts as the catalyst for the prophecy to come to fruition.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this idea, Mr.Buddy. But I know that you're a busy man and I'm just a random fan so I know that might not be very likely.
Feel free to take this idea and use it, or some version of it, in the continuation to Team Berserk's story if you want to. I won't mind!
(But again, just sharing this idea).

It would be great to have a regional version of Gyarados inspired in Jormunandr!! Just an idea to think about not to depreciate your incredible work and patience. I admire you!!

[commonwealthrealm]

Norway, the perfect location for Trainer "Red", so many snow/ice covered mountains to select among... By the way thanks for doing my home country or at least one of them (hint: the other is the land of the hussars) :)

Here's a definition of Scandinavia (from a Scandinavian):
Scandinavia = Sweden, Norway, Denmark
Nordics = Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands

Scandinavia is based around the Scandinavian Mountains, which is on the border between Norway and Sweden.

[GaraichuYT]

As a Norwegian I approve of this message. Seriously though, I wasn't planning on watching all of it, but ended up doing so as your enthusiasm was contagious. Well researched, and a lot of great ideas made this a very enjoyable watch!

[Ejiro__Kirishima]

My fave thing about your pokemon regions is *the lack of fighting fire starters*

[MrBuddy]

I dunno how many people will make it to the end of this video, but there's a part where you can make your own team of Pokemon for the region, so reply to this comment with the teams you would use for a Scandinavian Region! (Where all my Lavendor fans at?)

[everylore]

I can't even begin to think how much time must have gone into this. I'm really floored at the amount of detail, lore, and worldbuilding put into this video. I was stunned by its length at first, but I watched it all the way through and I'm really glad I did. This was brilliant! I subscribed in a heartbeat. Keep up the phenomenal work!

[edwardramos]

Team Berserk Grunt: Hey you, you're finally awake.

[BirdKeeperToby]

I can't watch this all right now so I have put this into a watch later tab and am so excited to watch it on Sunday!!! :D

Scandinavian/ Viking themed Pokemon
Step 1: Catch your Pokemon
Step 2: Train your team to be the very best
Step 3: Hop in a longboat
Step 4: Row, row, row your boat
Step 5: Raid England!

[Wiimonkey]

As someone who has great interest in both Scandinavia and Pokémon, this video is really cool to see. :D After getting 2 regions based off of tropical locations, I really want Game Freak to take a 180 and make a region like this.  Keep up the good work. :)

[paulwesterhausen]

This could really become my favorite Pokemon game of all time. You really created an awesome, vivid and goosebump-worthy storyline. Gamefreak should take your script and start developing or I'll start a petition or a crowdfund I don't care haha. Massive compliment to you and everyone involved!

[Anatiumregina]

This is one of the best videos I've seen on YouTube. I'm not kidding. The amount of research you put into this is incredible and everything fits together so well. I really want this to be an actual game!
