Yo BlueRang, so I think this map I made might be a little better organizational wise to dissect Isshu.
Here's my friend and mine predictions:
1- To us, this is most likely the Starting Town. It's small, simple and close to everything. And the top building resembles a lab.
2- A barn on a load of concrete?
3- A couple buidling...the second town maybe?
4- Little house and park area? Could be the screen shot of the main character at a vending machine...
5- My friend see's train track, personally I just see a ledge. :P
6- Looks like a church to both of us though whether it has a purpose or not neither of us can decide on. Either that or it's the factory area. There's some sort of pond and bridge next to it...NUCLEAR FISSION FACTORY!! =D
7- Sky Arrow Bridge which we all know but I found it interesting that it curls around at the start. I'm assuming this is where the main character is standing while looking onto Sky Arrow Bridge and Hiun (the big city in the background). Also Sky Arrow Bridge looks huge in the screen shot so if thats a sense of the scale...wow...
8- Hiun.
9- Obviously the desert but there appear to be things buried in the sand...
10- Amusement park? It obviously has a ferris wheel and the buildings all look...interesting... I think this is the town that the female protagonist walks across a bridge in as appears in one of the first screenshot.
11- It appears you can walk up to the lake from 10 town but then what's this entrance for?
12- The Park-lake area itself. My friend and I have come to the conclusion that the Pokeball is elevated in some way and has occured naturally.
13- The Draw Bridge and a Lighthouse
14- I have no idea what this is...building? Pagoda? Giant Spider? God I hope not.
15- There's a long line of bridges leading from one ice mountain to the other that goes through the Park-lake area...kind of interesting.
16- Two entrances and it looks as if a waterfall seperates them. Also there's ledges leading up to the left one which almost looks boarded off.
17- Another little cave entrance, don't know how you get there/away from there.
18- Ruin and a dig site? Seems like barren concrete and then some little modern blue building followed by a big old tower (SHOCKER!!). Important? Or just this generations ruins/dead tower?
19- Little stream that might be worth noting...
20- So it looks like a carbon copy of the Ice Mountain to the west, has to mean something.
21- Smudged area...based on the ledges/train tracks below it one would think it has a purpose, and I mean it's smudged!! That always means something!!
22- This area especially intrigues me. The buidling reminds me of that old Dark Castle that Bugs Bunny finds when he gets lost at night. All he wants to do is make a phone call but the Vampire has other ideas. Either way it looks dark and mean, but then there's a majestic waterfall...so I don't know what to think!?!? Then at the top of the page there's letter covering something with a path leading towards it. Battle Frontier area?
23- The path leading to the upper half of 22. Goes up some ledges and across another bridge.
24- Looks to be an old possibly falling apart/in construction bridge.
25- Look tribal no matter what they are, be it buildings, teepees, totems, Easter Head wannabees etc. A pond above it?
26- Couple buidings? We're betting on an underground entrance, the entrance to Victory Road.
27- Victory Road and the Elite 4 Building.
28- Islands. Accessible? Important? Or just random pointless islands like the ones off Cherrygrove?
29- Cool overly circular island. We're pretty sure it's got some sort of point.
30- Tree house/Shrine/Wooded Building. Based on it's position on the map and it's mysterious aspect we're betting this has something fairly important going on, most likely after the plot but who knows.
31- I see a little grey something...smudge? Or the key to the future of our planet? Or...BOTH!?
Little tidbits, places that we thought could be the safari zone are; 28, 29, 30, 25, 18, 12, 15, 20, 21, 22 and maybe 2.
I'm kind of wondering if this is all of Isshu, I mean Hiun's ports are pointing South and I doubt they're just pointing to no where, that defeats the purpose of putting a port city there, especially since the farther north you go, the more of a rustic feel you get. Also I'm thinking this map isn't very preportional, other maps of different regions are generally more detailed overall. This map seems to be designed to show off certain areas and draw attention to Hiun. There's alot more to Isshu than meets the eye in my opinion. :P
