5th Gen The Isshu Region

thewinna said:
THE pokemon company (game freak) said that the isshu region is going to be very far away from the other reagions. All of the regions have been based on japan then wher will isshu be?

Many people think it is somewhere in America.
 
People theorize that it is the Hudson River Delta region of Northeastern United States.

[PokeCommunity.com] The Isshu Region
 
its not a theory its proven

its NYC ^_^
 
Its not proven yet... It dont look good, but I really dont Think its NY...
 
I'm lovin the region so far. Huin city is amazing! Apperantly it's this region's jubilife or Veilstone city
 
The region looks gorgeous, loving all the bridges, it makes me excited C:

However, everyone claiming that it's NYC/America is a bit too assuming, there could be a lot of aspects or traits of those places but pokemon regions tend to combine a lot of various places together to make a region.

However, it certainly looks more western, so it's very likely that lots of inspiration was taken from america/large cities, which is a nice change :>

Except for that wonderful region known as Orre, which has it's origins based somewhat on Arizona, USA. That's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

The more I think about, Isshu may be based off of not just New York but the entire US.

+1

I thought that too when I saw Isshu. There's a lot in this region that could show that it's based off more than one city. I've seen comparisons that show Hiun City compared to NYC; and the mountains on the west and east remind me of the Rockies and Appalachians respectively, the deserts remind me of the Southwest, the southeast peninsula reminds me of Florida. It's just all there, and positioned that it seems more than just a coincidence.

I think the mountains are what convince me that it is based off the entire US. Exactly like you said, the Rockies and Appalachians. I can see why a lot of people think that it is based entirely off NYC but if it were then those mountains and desert would not be there. In my mind I think it is shaped like NYC because around the world it is widely considered to be the "heart" or "main hub" of the US hence why there is so much emphasis on Hiun City and the shape of Isshu.
 
Isshu is the only main series game region not to have an "O" sound in its name
To get more info on Black and White go to bulbapedia.

I'd say the mountains are based just off of the Rockies. Haven't been to appalachians but I have lived at the base of the Rockies and they're pounded by snow in the winter :D.

I agree, it's probably based off of all of the US, but looks like NYc b/c of the shape of the region in comparison to NY's boroughs.
Desert = Arizona
Mountains = Rockies
Hiun = NYC
 
When looking into all over Region of Isshu, It seems we're gonna have a big long Adventure on it. I mean its the biggest Region ever in generations. Great then!

If that were true that would mean I would live in that windmill town because I live in Idaho.

And New York City is now in Texas.

It's not an exact replica of the United States, but it's pretty darn close. A lot of recognizable features are there. They're just switched around to fit the possible connection to the Hudson River Delta Timbjerr posted.

@PiPVoda: All mountains have snow on top of them. It's the elevation that causes it. The Appalachian Mountains also have snow on them, only not as much because they aren't as high (there's a difference of at least 8000 feet between the highest Appalachian mountain and the highest Rocky mountain). It's just that the Appalachian Mountains are more known for being green, while the Rockies are more known for the snow.

So, hey, maybe both Isshu ranges are based on only one of America's.

It would be awesome to travel through a mountain but not have to deal with caves and/or snow.

They have never made exact replicas. They take certain features from some where in the world and twist them to make the region.

Which I said: "It's not an exact replica of the United States." I was simply pointing out that it's weird to think that just because something like the windmill town is north of the western mountain range that it automatically equals Idaho. Especially when Huin City is not north of the eastern mountain range, which it would be if Isshu was an exact replica. But it's not. Which I said in the line "New York City is now in Texas."

Isshu region is based on the United States, but it's not exact.
