I heard if you live somewhere, your game will crash when Spewpa evolves into Vivillon, what country would it be? Do not question my curiosity. (° ͜ʖ°)

It depends.
probably sumwair where there is no special Vivillion.
But the question is: where?
You shouldn't ask a question focused around a user's comment. Also, trying to find out where sumwun lives is stalker-ish.
@Guy, It's not about sumwun, it's about Vivillon. sumwun just got me wondering if that's even possible.
Have you looked at my answer?

That would be an unknown location since Spewpa evolves into a Vivilion, and Vivilion has a design depending on the real world geographic location, so if you don't live on the map, the game does not know what is your geographic location and can't give any pattern so it cant evolve, and the game crashes.
Source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Vivillon_(Pokémon) and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r2NQeGuumQ. The second one since vivilion evolved into polar pattern and the dude was in a forest in the game which proves it evolves on the real world geographical setting. That is where you would have to live, but since you have to enter your location, you can not live in a place where the game crashes when spewpa evolves. Sumwun was joking.

Does that mean you'd have to live on an island?
Well not necessarily. Any unknown location.
YASSSS! 400 POINTS!
NOOOO!
I don't think that this is the correct answer. Neither of the sources seem to prove that the game will crash if you evolve a Scatterbug in an unknown area. Also, according to the Bulbapedia article linked below, "Vivillon has 18 different distinct patterns depending on the set geographic location of the Nintendo 3DS system on which the Scatterbug was generated (for Eggs, this means the game in which the Egg was created)." If you evolved a Scatterbug in unknown area, the pattern it evolves would be based on the location you set your system to. It's highly unlikely that they would make so there's no specific pattern for a Vivillion to evolve into for any of the areas the system can be set to.

HMM! This answer didn't really show how to crash the game, or where you have to live like my question stated. And it doesn't depend on where you are in the game, but it depends on where you are in the real world. My question also should of mentioned this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B13:00
WHY DIDI I GET DOWNOVTED
Did you not read what I commented? That should perfectly explain it.
I mean, who actually knows what happens if you don't live anywhere?

This speculation would require you to hack the game so that the Spewpa came from nowhere and hack your 3ds that it came from nowhere.

There is no telling what would happen then; but even so, does the game crash? Since location is part of it's code, It may (this is also quite speculative) do one of the following instead: evolve into a random form; or, evolve into one of the event forms (Poke Ball and Fancy) instead.

Again, we really don't know and need to hack to find out :P
@Stakatacool - That confuses things. I thought this case was closed?

There aren’t any places where the game will crash when spewpa evolves. The pattern you can get in-game depends on where you set the location when you first set up your 3ds.
