Book that airline ticket, because I wouldn't miss living there. I mean honestly, reality isn't as adventurous as that in Pokémon. To have just a taste of something so different, I really wouldn't want to miss it. Who knows, it could really be a start of something new.

Of course you also have to consider some realistic facts. if Pokémon was really discovered on some island, and their consecutive regions, then you know scientists, biologists and all would just love to run experiments and tests on the Pokémon. Then, the government might want to take over and keep people from going there.

In a heartbeat...although it's true that it would never work out in real life. For one thing, the government in the pokemon world seems to be both completely socialist and incompetent at the same time--they have Pokémon centers that are run for free (along with free access to a storage system) and a police force, yet in the games it appears the police force is completely incompetent against Team Rocket/Magma/Aqua.

The pokemon world as shown in the games and anime is a utopia. If it were possible for such a place to exist, I'd definitely want to live there, but it's really not.

You have a point. Otherwise, if not for the place overrun with army and scientists, I would definitely move there. Paradise.

There already is. The US government has just covered it up.

Yes. Go to Hoenn...REAL paradise...Ah...

Stuff the government, the screaming outcries of literally a billion people 8-20 is going to cull them. xD
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

Well yeah. 8D Education is important, though, so convincing my parents to let me go journey off on my own would be pretty hard.

And it could end up pretty dangerousssss. D: You'd probably have to travel in groups.
They'd better get a Pokemon Trainer's School, Pokemon Tech, Pokemon Summer Academy, something that would make us all set in the education field.

I'd take a plane to Kanto (and subsequent) Islands as soon as I could. :) And the "group travel" idea sounds awesome! Imagine you and your friends fending for yourselves in the wild and supporting each other through thick and thin. Duking it out for the title of Pokemon League/Pokemon Contest Champion! The only downsides are:
1. World governments/scientists/researchers would swarm at the Pokemon site, terminating our journey before it even begins
2. Potentially getting KO'd/confused/burned/poisoned/paralyzed/frozen/hypnotized/ leeched by Leech Seed/Hyper-Beamed/hit by Explosion/*insert frightening condition here*, etc. if you get on a wild Pokemon's nerves and it manages to attack you directly
3. Getting jumped by wild Pokemon
4. Losing money every time you lose/whiting out
5. If life there is like the lackluster Pokemon life seen in anime (though hopefully it won't be)
6. The potential trouble in getting a Pokemon in the first place, since you have to track down the Professor(s) for starter Pokemon and PokeBalls
7. Those annoying crime syndicates!
8. Probopass and Spiritomb :cer_pissed:

It'd be awesome to see my (hopefully shiny) Blaziken. :t257: Though I'd bring PokeSav/Action Replay ONLY for event Pokemon if needed. And I'd get Rayquaza (maybe) to break the PRNG for a while (like in Emerald) so we can force shinies! :D :cer_giggle:

Also, consider that legendaries would be legendary; there would only be one for everyone to try to catch.

But if we all go, which one will be the fastest [not necessarily the best] and get the Legendary?! I can just imagine showing off Darkrai at your side xD

I would totally

But it real life isn't a cartoon, so it would be extreamly dangerous with all them electric rats and ghosts running around, and giant singing puff balls and bats attacking you every single step you take

Plus the police force isn't doing **** to prevent villains such as Galactic, Rocket, Aqua and Magma
And you wouldn't have a big bad Giratina to protect you like in the games, {{But you'd have a Big Bad *Other pokemon, so its alllll cool <3}}

and we're aren't all Ash ketchum of pallet town, who is the chosen one, has an aura and all kinds of majikaroo powers that can save the world from imploding

But I'd like the thrill honestly
Being able to fly on the back of a Pidgeot , Swimming on a blastoise, Training for battle, and truely aiming to become "The very best like no one ever was" would be pretty sweet
I'd love to go on a journey with my old companions IRL, truely feel the thrill of battling The Elite four, Rubbing defeat in the face of your rival

<3

I'd live in Johto forcereal <3

lololol Kanto Island.

Kanto is a real region in Japan. Jōto is also a real region, though it doesn't go by that name in the real world. Hōen is just Kyūshū turned 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Shinō is Hokkaidō.


Still, to answer your question, no I wouldn't rush there to catch them, kill them or what have you.
