Remember it is far away not the next country over. And there is nothing confirmed where Isshu is so you can't just say it is Shanghai. Remember it is FAR away so that pretty much takes Shanghai off the list.

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.

they also straight mentioned NA in the first movie, but that might have just been for localization :P "Vikings come from Minnesota"

There are several HUNDRED miles between Shanghai and "Hoenn" in the real world. I'd say that's pretty far away.

Just googlemapped it :) Over 900km

If it isn't the real world then why is South America and North America mentioned in the games and Anime?

Again read what I said they are mentioned in the GAMES and the anime. South America is mentioned on Cinnabar Island and North America is mentioned by Lt. Surge.

Are you seriously trying to convince me that these triangular shaped peninsula is Isshu?

No, I am not biased against America, that assumption is so stupid that I have no idea why I'm even addressing that.

Anyways, back to the Shanghai vs. New York thing, New York has that nice rectangular shape, while Shanghai has to be tilted and its shaped like a triangle. To be honest, the bridges are the only thing the Shanghai theory has going for it. :/

I know, seems like me and you are the only Americans not in denial of Isshu being based on China, and not the New York area :D

This is clearly the case. I will just die if a place in a video game doesn't take place completely across the country from me. >.>

Do you happen to have any information disproving the New York theory, or anything supporting Shanghai for that matter?

Well 2ch was the one that showed the Shanghai theory...
 
The starting town, like all pokemon games, is a rustic, rural type of area which I think is great.
Its like a tradition of sorts...
The city looks really cool and detailed, as does the cave.

I cant wait ;oo
 
hmmm if it is in NYC and the starting town is to the north east near some mountains i can pretend it's my home town ^^

Best case for Shanghai presented yet, but it's just as good a the one for Manhattan posted by Kirbychu...

Oh, nevermind, Kirbychu giving the pic to pic comparisons makes mean lean towards Manhattan more... its more spot on with rivers an bridges!
