I'm also really looking forward to seeing what the Poke ball lake is gonna do in the games.

Good point.... Could it be the home of the new contests/pokeatlon? Or maybe the resort area of Isshu?

Nice observation, cause to me it looks like there is an arena on that island.

Also i noticed that North to that island, it looks like there is a castle surounded by four buildings that reminded me of the battle frontier in the recent games. Although I hope it is something else.

Blueknight June 12th, 2010 11:01 AM

It looks smaller than the other regions. Also, some of the stuff is covered by words.

fireyboy345 June 12th, 2010 11:04 AM

I love this region. It has a desert, an industrialized part, an original part, it mountainous on one half, i love the bridges, i just don't see much opportunity to use surf.

Pichu_War June 12th, 2010 11:44 AM

The thing in the top left hand corner looks like a airport

Bluemoon June 12th, 2010 11:52 AM

It might already be the complete map cause icounted the citeis and they have approximately 7 which is im not sure and there are clouds surrounding it... well nit sure

Alberio June 12th, 2010 11:55 AM

Does anyone else kind of see a volcano right up at the top, partially covered by text? It's a bit of a stretch, but that's what I see.

And I see several castle-like buildings... wonder if they're for a side quest?

Masterge77 June 12th, 2010 12:16 PM

The starting town is probably one of the locations covered by moonspeak, on that note, this is probably only part of the region, as I do not see much towns, just Hiun City and about 3 towns, so this is probably only part of the region.....

PiPVoda June 12th, 2010 1:04 PM

Isshu seems really small for an advanced region. What I mean by that is that I don't see many cities or towns really...it sort of just looks more like a hub for wildlife and very few people living there than the most advanced region that the pokemon world has to date.

Love the desert btw, and that pokeball thing in the middle just looks weird to me. Like it just really doesn't fit in.

Kanto and Johto had ten towns/cities, Hoenn had sixteen, and Sinnoh had fifteen (nineteen counting the three Areas over on the post-game island and the Battle Frontier). So we've got room for a lot more before we can say that's all. Trust me, they only showed part of Sinnoh at first (just as the topic creator posted), so we've got plenty more to go.

mercytest1234 June 12th, 2010 1:34 PM

The middle might be some sort of Pokemon challenge area.

Or the middle could be a fountain.

It'll be interesting to see what could be done there.

So you're expecting more towns/cities or possibly a larger map of Isshu to be leaked or revealed when the games come out?

22sa June 12th, 2010 1:51 PM

That's not San Francisco. It's New York.

Oh, and I agree this isn't the whole region.... too small.

Well, the guy who I replied to seemed to be saying he thought this was the whole map because there were around seven towns (I assume this has to do with the whole eight-gym tradition), but I was pointing out how there have been more than that from every other generation. I'm expecting there's more to the map than what we've seen in this picture. The regions seem to be getting larger each generation, for the most part. There could be even more than before, but no way are we only getting seven towns.

Sorry, I may have rambled or gone run-on a tiny bit there... I hope that clarified my intent, though?

Jerme June 12th, 2010 2:16 PM

i would expect another giant city. with that 3D camera feature. im pretty sure not only 1 city makes use of it.

edit: matter fact, this might not even resemble the in-game map of isshu that well

Maybe the giant pokeball lake is for a fishing contest? lol

This region seems so uninhabited, and it seems like they forced so many different biomes into one little area. the way the islands are just dosnt look...natural.

i agree, i knew something was wrong. just look at the placement of the desert...

Ninja Caterpie June 12th, 2010 4:28 PM

That hall in the top-left corner... Victory Road. I'll call it now and laugh when I get it wrong. :D

Waffle-San June 12th, 2010 4:29 PM

Yo BlueRang, so I think this map I made might be a little better organizational wise to dissect Isshu.

http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4783/isshuregionmapcorocoros.png

Here's my friend and mine predictions:

1- To us, this is most likely the Starting Town. It's small, simple and close to everything. And the top building resembles a lab.

2- A barn on a load of concrete?

3- A couple buidling...the second town maybe?

4- Little house and park area? Could be the screen shot of the main character at a vending machine...

5- My friend see's train track, personally I just see a ledge. :P

6- Looks like a church to both of us though whether it has a purpose or not neither of us can decide on. Either that or it's the factory area. There's some sort of pond and bridge next to it...NUCLEAR FISSION FACTORY!! =D

7- Sky Arrow Bridge which we all know but I found it interesting that it curls around at the start. I'm assuming this is where the main character is standing while looking onto Sky Arrow Bridge and Hiun (the big city in the background). Also Sky Arrow Bridge looks huge in the screen shot so if thats a sense of the scale...wow...

8- Hiun.

9- Obviously the desert but there appear to be things buried in the sand...

10- Amusement park? It obviously has a ferris wheel and the buildings all look...interesting... I think this is the town that the female protagonist walks across a bridge in as appears in one of the first screenshot.

11- It appears you can walk up to the lake from 10 town but then what's this entrance for?

12- The Park-lake area itself. My friend and I have come to the conclusion that the Pokeball is elevated in some way and has occured naturally.

13- The Draw Bridge and a Lighthouse

14- I have no idea what this is...building? Pagoda? Giant Spider? God I hope not.

15- There's a long line of bridges leading from one ice mountain to the other that goes through the Park-lake area...kind of interesting.

16- Two entrances and it looks as if a waterfall seperates them. Also there's ledges leading up to the left one which almost looks boarded off.

17- Another little cave entrance, don't know how you get there/away from there.

18- Ruin and a dig site? Seems like barren concrete and then some little modern blue building followed by a big old tower (SHOCKER!!). Important? Or just this generations ruins/dead tower?

19- Little stream that might be worth noting...

20- So it looks like a carbon copy of the Ice Mountain to the west, has to mean something.

21- Smudged area...based on the ledges/train tracks below it one would think it has a purpose, and I mean it's smudged!! That always means something!!

22- This area especially intrigues me. The buidling reminds me of that old Dark Castle that Bugs Bunny finds when he gets lost at night. All he wants to do is make a phone call but the Vampire has other ideas. Either way it looks dark and mean, but then there's a majestic waterfall...so I don't know what to think!?!? Then at the top of the page there's letter covering something with a path leading towards it. Battle Frontier area?

23- The path leading to the upper half of 22. Goes up some ledges and across another bridge.

24- Looks to be an old possibly falling apart/in construction bridge.

25- Look tribal no matter what they are, be it buildings, teepees, totems, Easter Head wannabees etc. A pond above it?

26- Couple buidings? We're betting on an underground entrance, the entrance to Victory Road.

27- Victory Road and the Elite 4 Building.

28- Islands. Accessible? Important? Or just random pointless islands like the ones off Cherrygrove?

29- Cool overly circular island. We're pretty sure it's got some sort of point.

30- Tree house/Shrine/Wooded Building. Based on it's position on the map and it's mysterious aspect we're betting this has something fairly important going on, most likely after the plot but who knows.

31- I see a little grey something...smudge? Or the key to the future of our planet? Or...BOTH!?

Little tidbits, places that we thought could be the safari zone are; 28, 29, 30, 25, 18, 12, 15, 20, 21, 22 and maybe 2.

I'm kind of wondering if this is all of Isshu, I mean Hiun's ports are pointing South and I doubt they're just pointing to no where, that defeats the purpose of putting a port city there, especially since the farther north you go, the more of a rustic feel you get. Also I'm thinking this map isn't very preportional, other maps of different regions are generally more detailed overall. This map seems to be designed to show off certain areas and draw attention to Hiun. There's alot more to Isshu than meets the eye in my opinion. :P

umbreon_4_life June 12th, 2010 5:45 PM

So, people are saying that the Isshu region is based on New York, right? So there must be more of the region coming soon! It looks tiny, yet huge in some ways... And I think there kinda has to be more of the region; there is more land on the west side of the giant mountain and the picture is cut off at the top. I'm really starting to wonder what the circle of green is in the middle of the picture. And I'm starting to think that the ferris wheel thing is like a Battle Frontier of some sorts... !!! My little twelve-year-old brain hatched an idea!! Yes, the ferris wheel place is somewhat like the Battle Frontier and you have to go somehow around the whole region and into the middle of the circle as a resort-type place for the end of the game. You know, like how in the previous games, you could only get to the frontier after you defeated the E4? Kinda like that, but you need to go around the whole region. Like you start at the southeast corner at the little town there, then go north kinda far, then go west at the very top and then just go around the region, like a maze. I probably sound really crazy right now, right? Yes. Don't laugh at my insane stupid idea. =(

*Gasp* I don't know if this is obvious or not, but there are buildings to the west of the mountains. There have always been a mountain in the previous games, so would this be that mountain, or a Victory Road type mountain with the Pokemon League on the other side of it?

UlvMor June 12th, 2010 7:13 PM

I have to say that with the pokeball lake and random desert the middle part looks really man made rather than natural.
I like that everything seems (it could end up that it's not like that in game)to be fairly spaced out, and also there is no way this can be the whole map I'd be surprised if it was.

Surf is so old and boring now.

Thunderhead June 12th, 2010 8:43 PM

Yeah, all the regions are either blocked off by mountains or water on the borders.

I'm guessing that they have to show more of the north, and more of the east

I say this because the west has the mountians, the south has water, the southeast has water.

That is my guess.

JakeClowd June 12th, 2010 9:45 PM

Here's what i think. If you look at the very top of the map, benienth the words, there is a brownish streak that gets cut off. I think that it continues on to the half of the map.

Also, to the very left of the mountains is a silver-ish stadium-ish shaped building. I am almost positiv that is the pokemon league.

That island in the middle that everybody is complaining about: I think its something sacred. Possibly a shrine to Reshiram and Zekrom (and ????). Kinda reminds me of the celebi shrine in pokemon colloseum.

LOL. No Idea whatis witht the desert. Mabey a bomb testing gone wrong!!! XD
Ooh. what if you can get pokerus from their. Like its a quaruntine drop zone with with infected pokemon everywhere... Including a new [bad] disease.

On top of that, a new idea; what if your starter city is Hiun City? Like, your house is an apartment building and your rival is in the one next door.... Not a horrible Idea.
