5th Gen The Isshu Region

It doesn't matter at all, doesn't mean we can't have a nice little debate about it. There's no real point in all this speculation in general, but we do it anyway.

yeah it's fun to compare the pokeworld to the real world :)

why is the place that it is based important?

Because Pokemon is serious business. Because Pokemon fans can argue about everything.

I'm still leaning towards Isshu being based on America because I'm American and we're that egotistical! because of the geographical makeup of Isshu. It has a lot of features in common with America, like the desert, two mountain ranges, the lake, two rivers, etc.

But really, it doesn't matter to me where the region is based on.

I'll agree with this.
Just like I'll agree that geographic similarities mean absolutely nothing atm.

It doesn't matter in the damn slightest if it is based on America, China, my grandmother's wrinkles or the dreams of a Hypno.

What I do want to know is where we think the routes would take us, from start to end.

Well china has a desert too(the Gobi desert), two rivers and mountains, a lake,etc. so it's still not settled...
Yeah I want to know who many routes we will have too.
 
It's hard to tell. There is still a lot of possable routes around the mountains and northern part of the map. Plus if the docks do go to another island then that even more.

ITT: Americans in denial that Isshu is based in China, Hiun is Shanghai and that Wooguru is a Chinese eagle

Why the heck would a red white and blue white headed eagle with a head dress by a Chinese eagle. It is a bald eagle. Bald Eagle were worshiped by native americans which explains the head dress and it is red white and blue which explains it being a bald eagle and it's head is also white just like a bald eagle. USA all the way. (Also I see no great wall of China so it can't be in China) jk.

Reasons why Wooguru/Wargle screams America:
1) Bald Eagle is the symbol of America
2) Red, White, and Blue are the colors of America
3) Native American Headdress is on his head
4) Name is a fusion between War and Eagle. Americans are known for devastating war power.
5) Has the same build of a Bald Eagle

Why would Nintendo possibly put a American bird in China? It makes no sense.

The Geography matters more than that pokemon and Shanghai's geography matches more that of Isshu than of New york , like I said beforethe Regi's are a Hebrew symbol did that mean that Hoenn was in Israel? No Hoenn was in Japan :P

So why do people not think it's based on New York after seeing this? Huin City is exactly where the big, iconic financial district of New York City is located. There are corresponding islands in the Issue region for the real-world islands off the coast.

As if this were an issue of "OMG I'M AN AMERICAN SO F-YEAH GO AMERICUH!" If someone else can present better evidence then this then so be it.

EDIT: Sorry, I wasn't aware of the possibility it could be Shanghai. Still, I think that Isshu being "far away" makes it more likely to be New York City, and Wooguru does look a lot like a bald eagle.

Isshu fits ALL of america more than just New york. Heck it could be all of North America.

Also, it could be BASED off of America. It doesn't mean everything has to be where it is supposed to be. Hiun city is obviously Baltimore. Baltimore is the greatest port city in America.

There is the Golden Gate bridge in Isshu, and thats in San Francisco, California.

There is a large desert which is Arizona or even Mexico. The towns near the Mountains could be Montana and Idaho.

There are two mountain ranges. Those could be the Rocky Mountains and the other could be the Appalachian Mountains.

The carnival area could very well be Coney Island.

Wooguru being based off of American symbols adds to this theory.

What about the Americanized creatures that are already in the regions that are based on Japan? Your theory has now been disproved, please stop screaming "HELL YEAAAHHH!!!11!1 ISSHU IS AMERICA BECAUSE OF THE EAGLE WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE IN AMERICA AND A FEW OTHER COUNTRIES BUT SCREW THEM WE ARE BETTER111!!!!!!". And geological makeup says it's Shanghai, but despite the fact that it's far away it could indicate that it's really England or some other place in Europe.

I dont think its just New York. Its more likely to be all of America, sort of like the Orre region.

You're really in denial that it isn't your lower class Country, aren't you?

Lower class country? You cant just say all of a country acts or lives in the same way. Dont start flame wars.

I never said "HELL YEAAAHHH!!!11!1 ISSHU IS AMERICA BECAUSE OF THE EAGLE WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE IN AMERICA AND A FEW OTHER COUNTRIES BUT SCREW THEM WE ARE BETTER111!!!!!!"

I'm not starting flame wars, merely stating that your technology isn't that great, seeing as how China makes everything for you. And I know you didn't say that, it's pretty much that you're in denial that there's a very high chance that Isshu isn't based on America.
 
China doesn't make everything. Taiwan Mexico and Japan do as well heck even America makes things.
