5th Gen Route 1?

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 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.

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

We're starting at Route 1 because, as mentioned, Isshu is a far off place, so far away in fact, that they believe they were the first. So, here we are, starting over once more. They said this in CoroCoro.

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? :)
 
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!"

Only looks like maybe 2 inches to me, maybe not even.

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.
 
new nation new highway numberings. simple as that. I believe it's already confirmed Isshu isn't in Japan like the other games are.

why should lets say, USA, fallow the number system after Japan? It just doesn't work like that.

this also leads to another question- what about national pokedex? if they are restarting the route numbers for isshu because it's another nation what about the pokedex numbers?

I like that they're starting off at Route 1. It just enhances the feeling that this is a new beginning for Pokemon.
 
Its a new country, which mean new route system, new pokemon and new adventures...

It Make sense..
 
when i first played sapphire, i saw the 1st route was 101 so i ended up rhinking we would go to johto before...so starting at route 1 causes less confusion

and with johto and kanto being connected, it makes since that they share the same route system

speaking of route 101, why did it jump from 46 to 101?

They actually did that to prevent confusion that you could go to past regions. =P
 
Most of you keep saying that Isshu is based around / off of America. We don't know this. Many people think that it's Shanghai too, so just remember that.

Anyways, yes, the reason we are starting at Route 1 again is because Isshu is so far away. I'm pretty sure that the National Dex will remain the same, but this time with the added Pokemon.

Mostly because everything in the screenshots have been compared to locations in New York and match like perfectly xD
 
I don't care what the region is based off of. I care about the story, the ability to fight tougher trainers in-game, and the Pokemon.
Route 1 is a nice fresh start. I don't think anyone will really get confused.
