5th Gen The Isshu Region

it needs to be really big
 
[PokeCommunity.com] The Isshu Region

The protagonist in a cave

he's in a cave, no way! I never would have guessed?

anyway, look in the upper left hand corner, ppl
you'll see a castle. I also like how the place in the center is shaped like a Poke ball, maybe its where the league is, (that would be cool)
 
Can this be another possiblity of region location?
This is the northern part of Honshu island in Japan. Turn the picture 180deg and you can see three peninsulas. And the locations of the lakes are similars to the Isshu's lake-like locations.

Corocoro stated that Isshu is far away from all previous regions, the Aomori region you have shown is just beneath Hokkaido (Sinnoh)
 
According to serebii.net a new wider isshu map has been relased:

I'd like to point out number 1 is in the top left hand corner with that kind of parachute looking building as I've seen the original picture

According to the full scan, Number 1 is the Honey Gym that we saw in Pokemon Sunday.

Wow, intresting, so there is another city over there; where my other guess right or wrong?
 
Hm, I'd say we'll have some more freedom in exploring the region, judging from the aspect of places like the desert and the middle peninsula. As in, we won't be as limited by trees and mountains.

...I dunno, just a guess. xD
 
Let me give you the real full scan of the page. Detailing all areas.
As you can see, Number 1 (parachute area) is the new Gym surprisingly.

The desert city is proly where the second gym leader is. All of the battles they showed in the desert the starter was around 15-22.

11 is the starter town! So 10 is around the first gym, you go to Hiun and then you go north for the second gym town in the desert. Neato!

7 looks like it would be where you fight Zekrom or Reshiram. I find it weird that there are two mountain/caves of the same color and shape on opposite sides of each other.

The Carnival is probably the Battle Frontier or Pokethalon.

Since the Honeycomb gym is so far away I doubt it will be an early gym. I really don't see why you would have to travel from one corner of the region to the other for the first gym. Its probably the 7-8th.

7, the possible Legendary pokemon towers, seem to be connected to 8.

I thought we already saw a scan with the trainer running through an old town with a railroad track.

The train track town looks like it would be 6, or around it.

The island left of 11 looks like it has a house on it. We might get to visit those islands.

The map of the Isshu region is excellent. Assuming that the region is based on New York City, then the windmills might be a nod the Dutch founding of the city.
 
Man, they really upped their game regarding the gyms. Can't wait!
 
The more I think about, Isshu may be based off of not just New York but the entire US. There are some similarities and would explain why nobody has found a match (besides NYC) for the real world. To me it doesn't look as "natural" as previous regions do, more of like a conglomerate. My 2 cents...
