4th Gen Official Johto Map Discussion

I have to say in my opinion that it can't be a Battle Frontier because there aren't many large buildings and it just looks like a town with a mansion at one end.

And there is already discussion of this on another thread
 
I dont think its a town because on this island, the town is Cianwood, so it isn't most probably a new town, unless its a continuation of Cianwood, so it may be a PalPark like rich boy bob said, if youre talking about the official johto map thread, i posted mine thinkin that the thread wasnt discussing this, anyway, the discussion on the other thread is general since its about all the changes in johto, but i guess this discussion will also be nice by iself, thanks for pointing it out :)
 
Can anyone spot out the place of the ice cave? The place where I thought it was is just a small bit of cave :(
 
Ooh, I'm getting more excited every day!

The new area west of Cianwood looks amazing. Perhaps it's a Safari Park-esque area with some rare/new gen pokemon?

I'm 95% sure that the new building near Goldenrod is the GTS, although it could also be a contest hall. I don't know what the lakes in Ilex Forest are for, but I'm sure they've extended the Lake of Rage so they can put Kyogre there.

Its called mount motar. Its just in between Ecruteak and Mahogony.
 
People keep saying Kyogre could be in the lake of rage...Why would he be there? It's a freshwater lake, whilst Kyogre is a sal****er orca...The last place I'd expect to find a giant legendary whale is in a lake...

Eh wow I love how sal****er is censored. Also uh there is a cave at the end of that water maze you just need to zoom in a lot. And where else would they put him. Kanto? Right now Johto has more water then Kanto so I dunno. It could be a sal****er lake.
 
I agree with samme426 it doesnt seem to look like much of a battle frontier cuz the builings r to small.... maybe it is a town but the manshion thing samme said may be the jhoto pal park because there are a bunch of different looking areas put together lyk in sinnoh pal park (beause say if you but a water pokemon in the pal park you could only find it in the watery parts of the park and if you had a grass type in a grassy area) plus what you said about cinnwood being the only thing on the island, its a very big island and there preety far apart.

Well there are 4 houses there so I dunno it could be a resort area sort of place.

Er, I don't recall Lake of Rage ever being confirmed to be salt water not fresh water. Not to mention, a Pokémon like Gyarados is large and found both in oceans and lakes [hence the games and anime]. Also, it was noted that the area grew larger in the remakes and the location of new caves around it could be an expected area for Kyogre's location. Now, it isn't confirmed and told as yet, but it wouldn't be hard to believe if Kyogre would be found there either.

To me it is a suitable location. If you also look back at the Hoenn games, when encountering Kyogre's OW sprite it was found in a mid-sized water area as well, so the lake wouldn't be a bad place at all. It is also known for the location of Gyarados, so it is a place where players won't forget, especially if it is the key holder of Kyogre. Though, we'll have to wait and see how things turn out with these new locations and Pokémon appearances.
 
ya i do agree with you Todoroki is, it may be something like a`survival or battle area like in DPPt, it does seem to look similar to the survival area concerning top view, and it seems pretty large. I started moving away from thinkin its a battle frontier, because if there is 1, it most probably is in the spot of the battle tower that appeared in crystal (although a building seems to be in that spot behind the fog so i m not sure if they just returned the battle tower, not the frontier)
Edit: and powerruletheearth, if you want the image to appear just write img (in lower case)instead of IMG because it didnt appear in your post so everybody can see it.
 
I had an idea.

Go to section 02'33(cntrl+f for a fast search) it shows the text about how there was an old tower where the Radio tower is. Possibly they changed this and they made this tower anew and spruced it up and built the radio tower next to it this time? It would be nice and all thinking about how it would be cool to see a proper goldenrod landmark.

To be honest, I wouldn't expect to find an electric cat in the countryside or a Fire-breathing dragon anywhere, but this is Pokemon. Realism has no place here.
 
That tall building in Goldenrod city isn't a GTS station, it's a reworked radio tower. But, it does look slightly taller, so the chances are that it may have ahd an extra few 'GTS' floors added in. Or maybe they're in the underground.

It could be a new amity square? Or perhaps, it's a reworked mansion thingy, with a new trohpy garden, just like in D/P/Pt?

i dont really think its a mansion with a trophy garden since i dont think the garden part will be that large and devided in that way although there does seem to be a mansion, but i think a pal park is more reasonable i think although i still think it looks close to a survival or battle area kind of thing with the mansion being the main element like stark mountain was specially that there are lots of routes with bridges and waterfalls just like the wild paths in leading to the survival and battle areas
 
All these wonderful updates and new stuff to see my guess is this will beat d/p/p games but a landslide.
 
What is all the hype about Battle Frontier? Its so damn boring, everyone is the same level, what's the point? There's no skill, and everyone you face has such boring pokemon, and in Platinum it takes so LONG just to get like 2BP, you really need no life to get some of the items that require 30BP and such.
 
A battle area, as said in the first post, would be interesting. But it seems unlikely at the moment.
