(This is more about a random idea I had than it is about the graphic )

Imagine Gamefreak hires you to come up with the idea for a 25th anniversary main game for 2021 as the final part of Generation 8. Here's the crazy idea I would come up with:

After promoting one generation per month (March=Galar ... October=Kanto), November would see the release of a main game set in a new region, which feels like a mash-up of homages to places from all 8 existing regions.

The 260 Pokémon still missing in SwSh would return (to SwSh via free update as well), as the nationaldex would be back one more time, in this final Generation 8 game.

Additionally, the game would also feature new alternate forms (some with new evolutions) for a dozen or so existing Pokémon, similar to the extent of Galarian forms featured in SwSh.

Similar to the Pasio region in Masters, many familiar characters from all generations would make appearances, but the main part of the game would still mostly resemble a traditional main game adventure, albeit one with its own twists on the formula not unlike the Alola games.

The region would consist of 8 connected wild areas with minor towns, dungeons, wild Pkmn and trainers; with a central city that can be best described as the PWT from BW2 crossed with the Battle Frontier concept, but expanded to be a city of similar scope as Lumiose City from XY.

The main attraction of the region would be a tournament in which champions, protagonists and generally the strongest trainers from all regions would come together to participate and battle each other in the biggest tournament in the world.

The game would feature a new variant of the Dynamax/Gigantamax-phenomenon, one that would be exclusive to restricted legendaries, giving them unique new forms, and unlocking competitively game-changing moves for each of them.

A key part of the plot would be that the player (indirectly) chooses a restricted legendary that they pursue, eventually unlocking the new Dynamax-variant mechanic with it, before entering the big tournament of protagonists, each of them using a restricted legendary themselves.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk about a random idea that has nothing to do with reality or whatever will be revealed on PokémonDay later this week

And yes, the number of restricted legendaries just happens to be 25 at the moment (counting the 3 split forms individually)
