5th Gen The Isshu Region

Kill the terrorist and his awesome games!!

When did we state that Isshu had to be America because of technological advancements....

We said it looked like America because well they almost all look exactly like something near New York... Desert and Mountains are off but yeah...

But like a couple posters' have mentioned, there are a few big cities with sky scrapers, bridges etc. It's probably a safe bet to say it draws inspiration from NYC (heaven knows why though) but truth be told... could be a number of places.

I particularly like Silver25's theory more anyways.
 
Well Hiun city certainly looks a lot like New York, Sky Arrow Bridge is based on Golden Gate. The desert behind the Hiun is based on desert of Mojave, and behind it there is the carnival like place that is based on Las Vegas. Isshu is so based on North America.

herp a derp guys. Seriously, there are lots of places that have large buildings, a bridge and a desert so it's not America because America is great. America isn't the most technological advanced place, South Korea is, so I guess America is now out of the picture.

That is so true about America :P It really isn't the most Technological place in the world it really is South Korea, they have robots and other cool gadgets that make the Us look like the bronze age against the Iron age...

I would like to see a way to catch every pokemon in the game without gameboy games. That really gets on my nerves in platinum when I can't get a certain pokemon cuz I don't have any gameboy pokemon games except for 1 (sapphire) that only has 4 (soon to get 5th) badges on it.

Isshu safari zone should be bigger than the safaris we've had in previous gens, and include more pokemon from other regions. I sort of hated DPPt's and HGSS's and Emerald's were my favorite.

I would love it if we could catch every pokemon in hte game without needing GB games, but it probably won't be till RS remakes when every pokemon is available and doesn't require migration from GBA games. Isshu to me seems like it will be more along the lines of Hoenn of having fewer pokemon from outside of the region in the game, and much more introduced to fill the gap.

If any place is a terrorist country, it is definitely America.

Basing it off an American city would be stupid considering the fact that there is pretty much 9000 other places that have a city, a desert and mountains near by.
 
By golly, I sure hope it isn't in Korea or Kim Jon-il is going to kill us all.
 
Ok guys,I know it is suppose to be further away from the other regions,but I think it is still based of Japan. The northern tip of main part of Japan. I just looked at a pic and made it bigger,but not big enough for yall to see. almost in the middle there is a circle that matches our circle on our map.

I know people are saying it is new york,but I just thought Id tell you all
Spoiler:


They can always add the rivers and missing lakes.

If you are talking about this part then you are way wrong because this one has already been used.


Spoiler:
 
Well another reason it can't be that part of Japan is because they said that Isshu is very far away from the other regions.

You do realize this is a game ... Meaning that its developers are not bound by real world limitations? They aren't recreating planet Earth, you know. If they feel like taking a part of Japan to model it after, by all means, they can go right ahead. Nothing has stated that they need to stay true to real world geographics.
 
I love the pictures of the Isshu region, I can't wait till the game comes out!!
It'll be so cool, But it will won't be like the first games.
The first games will always be the best

you do realize there are real world countries in the pokemon world. They have mentioned South America in the games and the anime. I believe they also mentioned Antarctica.
