Oh wow! Thank you! This is.. amazing. I'm really surprised you were able to see all this haha. Great thread. I see it's already gaining some momentum. I wouldn't be surprised if it became one of those big threads with tons or responses.
The area to the east of Undella Bay including the island and the peninsula are a part of Queens that GameFreak didn't include in the game, so for fun I added it to the map myself for fun since I actually grew up there.
Its amazing to me that it didn't, since the area enclosed within "Undella Bay" in real life contains a 9000+ square acre wildlife refuge that's part of the US National Park System, and not only is it entirely within NYC limits, the subway actually runs directly through the bay.
Ahhh, I see I see. I's pretty cool since I've never actually seen a comparison, only hearing about Unova being NYC. and I'd be very interested :) Would this be in a thread somewhere?
Also, what do the dots on the map of Unova, corresponding to the strip of Queens, dictate? I've never seen them before anywhere?
The satellite photo in my sig contains Manhattan (this is the island where Castelia City and Opelucid City can be found, just to orient you), Queens, Brooklyn and eastern New Jersey. Thank you for your interest.
I'll be posting about the real life analogs to different areas in Unova in time if you're interested in more details.
