the piece of land loped off on the right is just artistic expression.
hoen was turn 90 degrees
desserts in pokemon are always randomly placed in pokemon regions
show me one region that is an EXACT match of any real place.
even shanghai isn't an exact match to isshu.
NYC all the way.
It might be an artistic expression but i wouldnt put an entire peninsula and the sea on that side as an artistic expression o.O
And there is only one desert in pokemon games, in pokemon r/s/e but it wasnt that much of a desert though :D hehe.
And notice that manhattan is an island, and that the fist penninsuila in isshu(that represents manhatan in nyc theory) isnt, it is most likely just separated by 2 rivers.

ummm..... route 228 in sinnoh=desert.
like i said the geography could be an artistic expression.
but what about everything else like victini, ect.

Yeah victiny might be a hint to nyc, but u must also have in mind that this game is made by a japanese corp. and if u have ever seen japanese ppl(especally girls) they adore and always flash the V sign with their hands as in victory, just like victiny does, so it might be just a trick to get japanese ppl more interested in it. (it is a big hit in japan to do the v sign)

228. might not be desert, just a wasteland. And btw by etc. do you mean football player, well japanese like to copy other cultures but still it might be.

P.s. Sry for double quote. I forgot i already quoted :P

bye ect, i mean
victini
how you get victini
football player
NYC has all for seasons (idk if shanghai does)
geography
koni island and the wonder wheel
(i was watching SNL and i saw the wonder wheel (Ferris wheel in NYC) and thought of the amusement park in B/W)
the pokemon sunday people dressed like old time paper boys from NYC
the islands at the bottom of huin city
huin city itself
all that stuff

and i consider Rt 228 to be a desert cause of the sand and sandstorm.
 
ill ignore victiny and f player as I said that might be true.
nyc has all seasons, ofc shanghai has all seasons too, only tropical places or places up north and south doesnt have all seasons.
geography-ok u might think that they are similar, but i really think that isshu and nyc have nothing incommon.
koni island and farris wheel- i dont know bout koni island, so that might be true, but cmon there are a lot of amusement parks everywhre, so why wouldnt there be one in shanghai too. Idk bout that.
Pokemon sunday ppl, that might be a clue, sure.
the islands at the bottom, hmm i dont see what are u getting at? but i guess nyc has islands there, but the rest of the geo doesnt really match (thy added islands in sinnoh too)
Hiuin city, this is why u ppl tick me off, because this shws taht u are obviously from usa since u dont know taht every city on earth that is located in a place similar to that looks that way, and is usually more advanced then the rest of area.
So i agree on victiny, f player, pokemon sunday ppl, and maybe koni island but I really dont know bout this, i dont see why that wouldnt be an amusement park in shanghai.
 
this is what i mean by the islands at the bottom

in NYC there are three islands in similar locations in isshu
also the fact that you get victini with the liberty ticket. liberty isand, statue of liberty.

The islands seem bigger than the isshu one's but they have changed the geography of some regions quite a bit :)

Sure that might be it.
But here again u guys are using the wrong picture!!! use the picture that fully shows isshu not that part. And maybe even u see that it is not that similar to nyc. And in case u dont have it here it is (again):
[PokeCommunity.com] Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York
 
thats the high link map
not the in game map.
plus the two island are on the bottom left there anyway.
ant the the lowest one on the left is liberty island so yeah.

WOOHOO 300th post!
 
i dont know, i guess it looks a little bit like new york. but i think it would be more likely for it to be in japan, because it is made in japan?

It is the picture of isshu viewed in full(not read ur post again and say what u said has any sense), that picture u posted was just a part of it, what does it matter if it is high link or whatever it is the same geographically. And here is a comparison(I guess u are probably not gonna like it):
[PokeCommunity.com] Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

Which one do you think is more probable, if u dont like it, try taking ur own picture, ittl be the same, i assure you.

it was allready confirmed that isshu is far awy from the other regions which are located in japan, so it's not in japan.


i still think it's nyc because it has more evidence going for then shanhai does.

I don't understand why some of the fans are insisting it isn't NYC because the geography isn't exactly the same down to a tee. I'm aware the other regions looked similar to their real-world counterparts, but tradition can easily change just how it was easily made. They may have decided to add more of their own flare this time to give Pokemon a little uniqueness.

Maybe it's even a cross between Shanghai's geography and NYC's history and people. The different facts presented to us have otherwise said NYC up to this point to me.

  • Liberty Island with a tower holding the Victory Pokemon : a reference to World War II.
  • Football players : an American sport, since it's obviously not a Soccer uniform.
  • Hiun City being the biggest city on the map right next to the ocean, holding the port to said Liberty Island : Just like NYC.
  • Isshu is in fact far from the other regions. Shanghai, China and Japan are next-door neighbors.
All of it seems far too coincidental don't you think? Can someone tell me, besides geography, how Shanghai and Isshu are alike? I'm proper confused. ]:

Well there is more land to the east of New York than in the Eastern peninsula in Isshu...

Well the culture of the region isn't always based on that of the Region, for example Sinnoh had french culture in it, the clothes of the players is one, and some other stuff.

ah, i must have not heard that.
maybe its just not based off of anything this time.

edit: sorry, how could it be shanghai? didn't china ban pokemon games or was it only the anime?

Yes but it is too different for them to put them the same.

The red chain- dont talk about something I didnt say, I said that nyc doesnt look like isshu at all to me.
And as for shanghai stuff that relates it to isshu besides geo, are:
-religion-yin-yang
-size, again tokyo and nyc are bout the same size, and that would mean that isshu is the size of saffron city. However they might not stick to the proper sizes in game, but untill now regions have always been about the same size.

All of this I have said before, and yet u guys always skip these or say something stupid like there is no yin-yang or idk. I have always taken all of your ideas and think about them, and finally wrote what i dont like about them.

huh o.o no, unless it is somehing new

Okay so you have to be Chinese to believe in the Yin-Yang philosophy?
I believe in it and I live in America.
I said that nyc doesnt look like isshu at all to me.
That's exactly what I made the post to ask about. Just because NYC and Isshu don't have the same geography it's not the same place? I don't understand how that works.

Uh wrong Tokyo is the biggest City in the world followed by Mexico city, New york is big but not the biggest...

idk, ive read somewhere that china banned imported tv shows, like the simpsons, spongebob and pokemon. it was quite a long time ago, so it may not still be the law there.
