Yeah, had to edit that part as "leaked" wasn't the right word to use. However, the map shown extends too far East for it not to include Kanto. Not to mention, Route 22 shouldn't be shown for appeal as it would give off false advertisement for the game. This one route connected Johto and Viridian City together, and usually what the Sugimori maps provide is what is brought into the games [or so it has been for quite some time now]. The art of the map included the Magnet Train, which is only used for travel through Goldenrod to Kanto, so for it to be shown it only refers that it'll be brought back keeping its own use like the original GSC games. So, for it to include the Tohjo Falls and Route 22 so far East would only bring attention to having Kanto brought in.
Here, at the community in the map thread it has even been pointed out and gives good facts behind the theory of it being brought back. Now, the translations from the UK site, they were very accurate on what was said, so it isn't like you can't trust it, but it brings up a good point. Also, like said, Kanto was and is a vital part to the game, so seeing it brought back wouldn't be a surprise.
