Yeah, but this is Pokemon we're talking about. There has never been two of the same route names before...

And there hasnt been a game thats actually different before. Game Freak promised us change and we got it.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 14th, 2010 8:29 PM

Wonder how many routes Isshu will have 25 like Kanto :P

rocky505 July 14th, 2010 8:31 PM

Kanto had like 27-28 in Johto.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 14th, 2010 8:36 PM

Oh yeah it did but will it have 25 like in RBGY or 28 like in GSC

Myles July 14th, 2010 8:41 PM

I, for one, like the route reset. It ensures that Pokémon world-wise, we are for sure in another nation. Meaning we will finally get to see outside of the unnamed Pokémon nation and see another nation and... (wait for it)... we could get an international Pokédex. Finally sorting out all the evolution lines correctly and such.

Cyberglass July 14th, 2010 8:54 PM

It kind of makes sense to start over again anyway. After all, each regional pokedex has a different #001 Pokemon, and the only reason the old routes didn't restart was the possibility of interconnectedness like in GSC. With Isshu being so far away, this will not pose a problem

Shanghai a lot :) I don't mind if it does turn out to be China as I love China!

This has nothing to do with route numbering. If anything, if he drew Isshu on china, his point wouldn't be very well supported, because on a small map China and Japan truly do look right next to eachother. In other words, drawing Isshu on American helps support his point.

Aaaaaand this....

I find a bit offensive personally. America may be struggling at the moment but we aren't going to diminish with one more problem, as the term "dangling from several strings" implies. I'm usually not easily offended but someone who's worried about the future of himself and his family is a little on edge about the crises of his country, just saying.

Anyway, on topic, I love the fact that they're resetting the route numbers. Honestly, I'm not gonna remember route 311 if I love it, All I'm going to remember is "That one path near that one town with the grass and stuff." However, with simpler numbers like Route 1,2,3 etc., I'll actually remember the names of the places I'm going.

Well they only said it was farther from the other regions compared to how far they are to each other and the space between Shanghai and Sinnoh seems to be more than that of Sinnoh and Kanto :)

Yes but what I'm saying is your taking a debate from another topic into this one when someone was merely trying to make an example.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 14th, 2010 9:25 PM

Well sorry about getting off topic :P
So how many routes will this region have Sinnoh had 30 those being 201 to 230 :)

Masterge77 July 15th, 2010 6:12 AM

Even if Isshu is a new start, it only applies to the games and not the anime.....

empty streets July 15th, 2010 7:12 AM

I don't really care about the route names. They are not important, pokemon that lurk in there are.

JP July 15th, 2010 7:16 AM

I really don't see what the big deal is. Only makes sense to restart the road numberings considering the area is so far away from the rest of the regions. I like it and it only helps to reinforce the idea that Isshu is far away.

Pokekid1995 July 15th, 2010 7:59 AM

i think its China Yin and Yang pokemon. New country=new begining thats why

Zeturic July 15th, 2010 8:08 AM

I think it. It's a really good idea. It gives the games that "fresh" feel.

Solodomo July 15th, 2010 8:24 AM

I love the idea of them starting over. it will feel like it's 1998 again if they do it right...-_- (what am i saying here?)

I agree. You guys might be exagerrating a bit. This isn't exactly a huge revamp like Hoenn. 3:

This sounds reasonable. Maybe if this isn't the last pokemon game, they should actually name the routes after the people in the credits or something?

I hope they get rid of all the old pokemon aswell.

Tiem to go back to just the 100 please? :)

Azure-Supernova July 15th, 2010 10:36 AM

It's things like this which are encouraging me to warm up to the new generation... it's seperating it from the past ones so it feels like a new title.

It's more like Game Freak are saying "Here look at this Kitty I got you!" rather than "Look, we replaced your old puppy with a newer, bigger, better looking one!"

The Pokemon that they've spent years and tons of money to create? The Pokemon that still keep fans engrossed in the franchise to this day?

Well to me it doesnt make much difference as long as its not, as someone stated, the last game :O

I mean its not like its the end of the world...

Well each country has it's own set of numbered highways don't they? Maybe this is the same?

This is exactly what I believe, the past games were all set in the Japan area. This new game is supposedly based off a far away land (ahem New York) so that would only suggest they have there own set routes etc.

Haha read the last line of the first paragraph...

US 69 is noteworthy as having had numerous reassurance shields stolen because of the sexual connotation of its route number

Also more evidence that its in New York/Eastern Part of US...
