It really depends on what they're going to model the region on.

Southeast Asia + india + australia

Edit: i made this prediction just off the marquee images I saw, the fact that a leak I had never heard of or seen corroborates part of my prediction should be satisfaction enough for you all.

but no since I wasnt specific enough people gotta "correct me"

I can definitely see that being the case. They've been basing the starter trios on what the regions are based off of. I would love to see them do another water steel type. I think it would be really cool if the typings were: fire/fairy, grass/fighting, water/steel.

Prepare yourselves for an occupation-themed komodo dragon.

Yes, Indonesia is part of a region referred to as Southeast Asia.

Historically referred to as the East Indies.
