I guess I need to emphasize the "19 green dots indicating other small areas". This region is actually huge if you keep the small areas in mind.

umm yeah its huge... can't wait to embark on a completely new Pokemon journey...

It might actually be just like the Giratina route. Until you get on the route it is hidden on your map. The actual paths to the green dots arent shown until you take them!

Either that or they want you to explore more.

Pokestick, good times. July 30th, 2010 3:16 AM

I thought it looked quite weird at first, actually.
The art looked quite.. plastic almost, and it also looked like there wouldn't be much to see there, just a few towns and things placed in an unnatural circle.

I look forward to this now, though :3
As long as the graphics stays as good as it hints. :P

When I first saw that image, I thought it was fake, but at a second glance, the black taskbar with the buttons doesn't really fit in well and I wonder if those arrows means to navigate from town to town or.... different areas of Isshu.

I'm sorry, but the first thing I thought of when I saw that was "HAH! New York's right landmass thing isn't so thin! Shanghai's, however..." and then I realised that was already on the map we had before. This argument is getting to my head.

But it looks cool. (b'-')b

loliwin July 30th, 2010 5:00 AM

Looks like a worm holding a diamond.. :O
or its just my imagination lol

GFA July 30th, 2010 6:51 AM

You know, it doesnt really look like anything? I was thinking it could be moddled after France because of Jaun and Fatina, but France lacks a desert ...

Zackraa July 30th, 2010 7:06 AM

I was hoping for shanghai

but after seeing the liberty ticket I could go either way then I saw the footballer now its new york without a doubt no other country in the world wears that gear for sports

I are sad faced its not shanghai

RedFan July 30th, 2010 8:11 AM

i dont know but i could be new york

Yams July 30th, 2010 1:56 PM

I say the subway further helps in making it like New York. Also there one of the screen shots looks similar to Grand Central Station.

It shows the Isshu map with 14 Towns or other major landmarks and 19 small green dots indicating other smaller areas.

I thought that was the High Link map since the character sprite isn't one of the PCs.

:O you are an genius.

Also, they mentioned once, high link is only available in the upper part of isshu.
which means...
MORE BELOW?!

there is nothing below isshu, just water cause the starting town is the bottom most big dot. also the up arrow thing is lighter than the down arrow, is there more to the north of Isshu?

- America is the only country that plays American Football, thus the gear we wear for this sport is only here in America.

- Game Freak picked now to make an American Pokemon. Wooguru/Wargle is Red, White, and Blue and is a Bald Eagle. Both are symbols of America. He is also wearing a Native American Headdress, which points to the heritage of the country of America.

- Victini's name is a cross between Tini and Victory. He is found by using the Liberty Ticket. He is also showing the peace scene, also known as the victory sign.

- When Pokemon Sunday showed off the starters the three people doing it were dressed in special outfits. They were dressed like old New York paperboys.


- America is farther away than Shanghai in comparison to Japan.

- Three new pokemon were shown all at the same time and they had something relatively strange in common. They were all disney-like. We got Alvin, Bambi and a Disney Swan. You may deny it but Disney is a big part of the American culture.

- America has been referenced in games before and part of America has been used for the Orre region (Arizona). I am pretty sure China hasn't been a base for any regions yet.

- China is communist and would freak out if Game Freak didn't represent them as positively as possible. Any negativity would get the games banned.

- There is a Royal/Medieval theme going on for the plots of Black and White. This means that an evil team is trying to institute a Royal system on the people of Isshu. This is most likely a reference to when Great Britain tried to do the same to the people of America a hundred or so years ago.

- Having Black people in the games sort of helps the New York theory because there are almost no Black people in Japan.

- Shanghai is Triangular shaped. New York is not and neither is Isshu.

- New York fits on to Isshu more so than Shanghai.

You do know that a lot of countries have subways?

Just because something shows a "V" sign does not mean it is American. And Disney like you say? You do know that Disney animals are based off real life animals? Besides, those "Disney like" animals also live in a few different countries around the world.

They are drawn like Disney characters.

Yingxue August 14th, 2010 4:25 PM

Honestly, whether people like it or not, Isshu's looking more and more like it's based off NYC, not Shanghai. I was sold when they revealed the Liberty Island thing.

King Gumball August 14th, 2010 4:43 PM

I can't wait what the battle frontier is! I hope it is even better than the previous ones. I still think the Emerald battle frontier is the one to beat.

Not really our deer doesn't have long legs like Bambi, and it has diffrent color schemes. The "chipmunk" looks more like a Meerkat than a chipmunk,even if it was more chipmunk like it doesn't look like Alvin...

i think the Disney thing is just a coincidence.

Yeah I think so too, I don't think a Pokemon's design should be used to find where a region is based on.
Edit: Oh yeah I forgot to say this, Sinnoh was kind of French in culture so culture can be misleading as well, good thing the first four regions we had Geography to help us :)
