The desert has no disease (im sure), that seems silly.
Huin City is not the starting, they have already shown a screenshot from the starting villiage.
The desert is probably game freaks try at adding a desert into the region like RSE.

ElectricScyther June 13th, 2010 6:02 AM

What's in the part with all the Japanese characters? A new town maybe?

JAK3 June 13th, 2010 6:07 AM

Oh! I love this region, but I really want to know what all that extra space is, perhaps all Dungeons where you can catch Pokemon? Also, I wonder where the starting forest is! Of course, if there even is one. :)

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

:shocked:

OMG! I love yoour ideas, and thanks for taking time to do this :) We'll have to wait and see how accurate some of your points are. :cer_nod:

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 13th, 2010 6:15 AM

hey has any one noticed that red meteor like thing in the left top hand corner it looks like like something of interest, wonder what it's function will be...deoxys related?

Esmas June 13th, 2010 6:16 AM

I ♥ THIS REGION! :D

But really, the map seems sort of plain... I mean, there's this huge city, and then a random desert? XD (...which is followed by an amusement park in a forest?! O____o) That's kind of a weird contrast. But what I like about the desert is that it's quite large, and I think it has a little village or town in it, which would be cool to see, like in Pokémon Colosseum.

Oh, and I can't wait to travel those mountains. Seeing those cave openings makes me want to adventure! Also there's a spring or waterfall by the mountains, and it seems suspicious to me... o3o

Overall, it looks like there's a lot of blank space where things could be, unlike in the previous regions like Hoenn. But it's still a yummy place to look at, because it's so different! :)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 13th, 2010 6:19 AM

I wonder if we will have to climb that mountain with the waterfall like we did with Mt. Silver, or maybe more like Mt. coronet:\

JAK3 June 13th, 2010 6:24 AM

From your Picture Bluerang, I can see a grassy area to the right, filled with little towns, probably an area that you will clear out of soon. Then obviously, that bridge that we have seen EVERYWHERE, which leads to Hiun city, the HUGE city that we have all seen, too. Then, a large Desert, which makes me happy, because this means I will be able to get Meguroko right away! Then, a Carnival, probably something that has some trainers in it, and maybe some side stories take place there. Then another grassy area with a Pokeball design that looks very nice, maybe a park of some sort. To the left of this, there is a city, with the draw bridge and a Lighthouse. Then, finally that huge area with an Icy looking Mountian and perhaps where the Elite four is, and all sorts of other towns, those are my Predictions. :)

Esmas June 13th, 2010 6:28 AM

I'll take a guess that the forested area on the right side is where the starting town is. Looks quaint and calm, like the screenshots and the previous ones.

It just seems all that spce is uninhabited...

maybe the dessert is like the dessert surrounding Vegas Nevada...they could have made the city look Habitable but the dessert is more hostile but I'm certain we will see people there!


Yup the dessert has a sand storm like in RSE and DPPt, I saw an image of it on Serebii (the Isshu section) where they show a hiker? in the dessert near the player, so there are trainers just like the horrible! Blizzard in DPPt...and the dessert in DPPt and the dessert in RSE

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.


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.

1) Hmm, you're right and I was wondering if this was all that there was to Isshu. I expected more cities and all since it's you know...industrialized. But if it is then I'm okay with it. If there is another side then maybe the side they're showing us now is the ancient part of the region?

2) Possible that the pokeball shaped thing is a shrine, but I don't know I wouldn't expect it to be one.

3) They already showed the starting town, which is very rural, so that means Hiun is not the starting point. I like your idea though.

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?

I agree, 7 towns really isn't that much and I was thinking that they just zoomed into a certain area of the region not wanting to reveal it all yet. I may be wrong though and we may just be stuck with what we have. It wouldn't hamper gameplay imo, but it would certainly be different from the other regions.

Yeah, you've pretty much clarified it.

A Pixy June 13th, 2010 9:10 AM

It looks like a big, industrial haven as opposed to the other regions being mostly small towns with few large cities. And when I say 'large cities' I mean Goldenrod, Saffron, Veilstone and cities like that.

I must say, this change in environment is a welcome change as far as I see. IMO. o3o

Nikorasu June 13th, 2010 10:14 AM

It would be interesting to start maybe in a city? Make a difference froma lways being in villages/towns. Or maybe starting in the mountian area, that would stop the first gym leader (hopefully) being a rock type and a good area to start with scenary :)

you mean resirams hand?
the white thing in red?

JAK3 June 13th, 2010 11:13 AM

Now, I can't tell, but it looks like the whole edge of this map is covered with snow, and we also have two Mountains that are covered with snow, could this be the Snow region. :)
EDIT: Never mind, I realized those are just clouds. :|

Iqid Loopz June 13th, 2010 11:21 AM

For some reason, this regions really reminds me of the world. If you actually know what the world look like, its kinda of sorted or divided into three.

West lands reminds of South America, and North America and the mountains reminds me of the Rocky Mountains that stretched south to north of South and North America.

The north of the middle lands remind me of Europe, the pokeball lake reminds me of the Mediterranean Sea, the desert reminds me of Africa and its desert like heat and wheather.

Huin city reminds me of Antartica because of its first impression white (ice and snow) looking city.

East lands reminds me of Asian, the southern Islands reminds me of the many Islands that Japan, Philippines, and other Islanders countries have.

IDK its my opinion...you all probably disagree

JackGamer June 13th, 2010 11:29 AM

It looks amazing! :D
I especially like the Poke-ball lake and the mountains. I can't wait!

No, look to the top of his hand and your see a red looking thing like magma or a meteor!

Cyberglass June 13th, 2010 8:50 PM

Seeing as how Hiun is so BIG I wonder if it might have more than one gym. And not in the almost way like Saffron did.

Also, from the look of the map there will be a lot of open country to explore. Except for Hiun and possibly the circus, the other towns are tiny compared to previous regions' maps.

I have reason to believe Waffle-san in some areas is correct.
the spot No.1, she says is the starting town. if you look closely this shows two buildings. looking back at some of the photos from last months corocoro, i found that this is the starting town and on this map it shows the Professors lab and your house.
look here: http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/isshu.shtml , the first un-named town fits.

o0PinkSquid0o June 13th, 2010 9:16 PM

Most people have said what i am thinking.
Although reading a lot of comments in this thread people don't seem too happy with the dessert :S
I dunno if it has been confirmed or if it was a rumour but I heard the main character has something to do with digging and fossils or something so perhaps thats why there is a giant dessert :)

NA3LKER June 13th, 2010 11:22 PM

i like this reigon, its very different to the other reigons, so should be a breath of fresh air. if you look next the ferris wheel, there appears to be a building that looks a little like the battle factory.

(I'm a guy. :P) Most the points were total guesses but that south east area looks like it's the starter area, no where else looks like it'd work.

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

Also in the clearer map (Serebii and Pokebeach both have it) the top right brown thing is revealed. (Number 22) and it looks like some sort of temple thats sitting on top of caved cliffs. Mesa Verde anyone? It is in the states...
http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID12879/images/High_Res_people_CliffPalace_aerial.jpg

Also the temple is green, if that has any meaning to anyone. :P

.Awesome June 14th, 2010 4:37 PM

The center is shaped like a Poke Ball... Maybe the Pokemon League? It's surrounded by water, so i think it must be.

Hamilton June 14th, 2010 5:41 PM

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



in the newer pic, you can see 25 is a few Windmills- but not like the ones in the 4th gen- like BIG GIANT WINDMILL BUILDING THINGS (don't really know the official name :p )
plus i count about ten towns
AND i don't know if i'm the only one that noticed, but in between the bottom of 22 and 24 there is a little grove with an entrance to a cave
and i'm pretty sure i see a Pokethlon dome (or a contest dome) in the area with the ferris wheel
