5th Gen The Isshu Region

Like MistahDude I doubt it too. On the other hand, it could be the chance the game enhance the map feature. Too bad CoroCoro didn't say anything if that pic is the game map, as far as I can tell. >.>

I somehow think they would keep the same in game map style that previous games had. The orange bars being land routes, red squares are cities and blue rectangles are water routes.

Well, the didn't really keep that for HGSS, did they?

With all the big changes, I actually don't think they'll do a grid-map. I think it'll be a dynamic map, with you just tapping a spot on the map and zooming in like that. or something.

its still basically the same thing.
 
Well, with this so called "Master Document" coming out in CoroCoro next month, is bound to have a full map of Isshu on it.

Wow. Why would a children's game cause people to insult each other's intelligence and places of origin in a blatantly rude manner? Oh yeah, because we're pokemon fans. Guys, chill out. This is nothing more than a game, and whether it's based off of New York City/USA/North America or Shanghai/China, the quality of the game won't decrease in any way. Personally, I find both arguments very valid after considering both sides.

The Shanghai area is closer to Japan in proximity and culture, and it has the circular lake which looks very similar to the pokeball lake in Isshu. Likewise, Isshu's skinny and rectangular shape matches that of Manhattan a little more than the Shanghai area's, and the red bridge resembles the Golden Gate quite a bit.

I do not think Woogoru supports the America theory in any way, but I am almost positive he is a bald eagle as opposed to a Chinese eagle.

And I don't think the American PC users here are suggesting Manhattan only because they think they're the greatest, or they want it for selfish reasons or egotistical notions. In fact, the users supporting America seem to be more respectful than the Shanghai supporters, and well, Team Shanghai seems to be stating their views as fact when nothing is confirmed yet. (If anything, it seems to me, a lot of people supporting Shanghai because they DON'T want it to be America).

As it's been said, people only see what they want to see, and it works on both sides of the spectrum. So again, nothing is confirmed, both sides are equally plausible, let's all be respectful. Kthx.

like bay, couldnt have said it better myself. does it really matter where it is? as long as the gameplay is good, it could be based on Congo for all I care.
 
That's not the complete map.

This is. Bottom is hard to see.

Also what do you mean Hoenn was based ona a island? Hoenn is also in Japan.

I believe that the map has something to do with High Link. Maybe it demonstrates the places you can teleport to help out friends?

I'm quoting this because I might have accurately predicted something that's real for once. Serebii says that you can't enter places like Route 1 and Hiun with High Link, so this very well may be just the High Link map.

Yeah, I just notice the update. You're right, that map is most likely something to do with the High Link feature. Also, I notice the area looking like a pokeball, like how in the concept art there's an area that looked like a pokeball: https://archives.bulbagarden.net/medi...2/20/Isshu.png.
 
Isshu Region Map:
Spoiler:


Nanpu Bridge:
Spoiler:


The Nanpu bridge is marked as 12 on the Isshu Region Map. The Nanpu bridge is in Shanghai China.

Even though I was stubborn earlier, the shanghai area looks almost exactly like Isshu.

Yin and Yang seems to be a constant theme in the games so far, and Yin and Yang are Chinese symbols.

So I admit that i was wrong, Isshu = Shanghai China.
 
(Now watch as everyone who said Shanghai gloats to everyone who said America. For the record, I was neutral over the whole thing, so yeah.)

Ahem, anyway, so far, I think Isshu is a great region with some varying climates, and the map that Iceman showed makes the picture of the hexagonal route system look like the actual map. It's much simpler then I thought, personally.

I doubt its the actual map because there are so many things that are left out of it.
 
True, maybe my lack of vision and it being night time, along with the bad quality, made me see it differently, now that I take a closer look at it, it seems as though it isn't. Hm... Ah well, if you could go to all of those places with the High Link, then it's definitely more expansive then what I originally thought.
 
Isshu "might" = Shanghai China. Keep in mind that the Nanpu Bridge is technically not in the right spot compared to the Sky Arrow Bridge. However, the Nanpu has a sister bridge, the Yangpu which, although it is also a suspension bridge and not a lifty-bridge thing, is red. That and Nanpu is a shiny white, like Sky Arrow, whereas Brooklyn is more of a concrete grey.

And, y'know, Sydney also has two rivers, and the Harbour Bridge in the same place as Sky Arrow. It's also surrounded by mountains, which can (albeit rarely) get snow/frost during winter. DOES SYDNEY HAVE A CHANCE OF BEING ISSHU? DESERT PSH, AUSTRALIA IS ALL DESERT ANYWAY >D

This is Yangpu:

That is what I have said. There is no way that can be the real in game map. The Mountains are left out. The northern part of the map is left out. Maybe it was just a concept map,but I don't know.

But even Serebii says it is the in game map. Here: https://www.serebii.net/archive/July-2010.shtml

Serebii is known for talking out of his ass and just assuming things. its not confirmed.
 
*le sigh*

I saw this on another thread and I agree:


But then someone said this:
Kam the Narwhal said:
Said bridge could always be the Brooklyn Bridge, or one of the other thousand bridges in New York.

Besides, there wouldn't be a route reset if it were based on Shanghai. China and Japan are pretty close to each other, especially when compared to New York.

Also, a good few of the species in the region are New York natives; pigeons, eagles, chipmunks, blue jays...

Looks like that Mamepato evo we saw, the Blue thing.

All this is amazing. the guy in the video came with so much proof, that you would have to have gotten out of the mental institution to denie this.
