NYC,please tell me ure not thinking its New York City...
 
well that's what the poll shows my friend.

there's just more evidence for NYC than shanghai. sorry.
 
Why would I be mad over a pokemon game not being located in x place?

Learn the meaning of a joke?

I'm pretty sure a lot of people are going to rage hard if there is a twin tower reference.

Maybe Maybe Not... I'd like it and I had family die there....

Someone leaks information to Serebii, not really ethical information gathering. America got all upset for an episode title mentioning the word "tower". And I recall there being another few skipped/banned because of some pretty small things.

No it had nothing to do with the word tower its the fact that tentacruel knocked over a lot of buildings...

And you'd realize how stupid your opinion was for making Serebii look like a God amongst the pokemon fanbase.

Never EVER said Serebii was a god... but Pokebeach, Serebii, etc know there **** its just common sense to trust their word over a random person... plus Serebii usually wouldn't say "I think its NYC" unless he really though that... If he was 1% off about it he prob wouldn't say anything...

Serebii can't tell his left hand from his right. While everyone else can tell the difference, so it is safe to say that Serebii's opinion is not better than anyone's.

I'm 99% sure Serebii is smarter than some Australian that can't comprehend a joke... Stick to making games...

Yeah... Bold are my comments...
 
didn't you just say "keep the peace" lol

yes i said keep the peace,but the Australian (im Australian too mind you) deserved it for being so hateful.

everything in this world needs balance, you take wat you give savvy? ^_^

but no more -_- dont make me crawl threw your computers people :P

Alright, time to pull a Klavier. I guess the NYC has more going for it than anything else except sydney, of course, so we need to iron out the kinks with the case.

- NYC has no mountains
- NYC has no desert
- Liberty...Lighthouse?

Also, one thing. All this is simply speculation. You're going to need definitive evidence to actually prove it's New York. You've only outlined there's a very good possibility it's New York. The way you're acting, it's "definitely" NYC. It isn't.
 
to the west of new york city, is new jersery. new jersery has LOADS of mountains.

and as far as the dessert, i find it hard that a major city (other than las vegas) would be built on the side of a desert in the first place.

here let me spell it out for you:

P-O-K-E-M-O-N

last time i checked Southern japan wasnt full of ice caverns either,& yet Hoenn has ice caverns, same for Kanto,& Johto
and i also think Japan doesnt have a desert at all, and voila there it is in Hoenn!

honestly, its so obvious >.> Pokemon is its own world, but its still based off areas of our world, just cuz it changes certain things to allow us more DIVERSE pokemon types, doesnt make it any less of the area its based on.

Oi there, I do believe that I said that NYC is the best guess with all of the information that we currently have. And yes about the desert/mountains thing, I was actually starting to wonder if maybe they shrunk all of America down into little o' Isshu... ^_^; But of course there is no way that we can prove it's New York. The game isn't even out yet! But yes, there is a very good possibility that Isshu is based or inspired by New York.
The other regions are not perfect matches for where they are based on. The game's environment would not be as diverse if that was the case. So they add in a little of this and a little of that to change it up a bit, I mean, it is just a videogame. It by no means is required to be a perfect match.
I can see why everyone is saying that it's not New York because the geography doesn't fit perfectly so they're saying other locations based mostly just on geography. We have much more than the geography evidence for leaning towards that Isshu is inspired by New York so... Yeah... Looking at Isshu right now I'm only seeing New York... >.<
 
And there's not a bigass mountain in the middle of Hokkaido.
 
The area might be based on the roads name like I said before 3 common things plus all the other stuff on NY being Isshu its a safe bet...

Well, there is, but I'm gonna guess you were being sarcastic or something for this point:

It's a very good one.

You are actually getting on my nerves. Always coming in here trying to start a flame war when we are discussing Isshu being NYC. It is most likely NYC get over it. Who cares if NYC doesn't have mountains or a desert it is Pokemon not the exact same freaking place in the real world. Go flame somewhere else. USA all the way HOO RA!

[PokeCommunity.com] Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

Congratulations, Fraulein. That's exactly what I meant. I'm only pointing out you can't just barge in here like Volroc and arrogantly claim that it "has" to be New York.

@Rocky, I'm on your side. I'm simply saying that you can't just say "IT'S NEW YORK GET OVER IT!" And I'm not "trying to start a flame war". I'm pointing out all the remaining arguments against New York so we can work together to remove them. And look - the desert one is already gone. There's no real desert on Kyushu, unlike the one in Hoenn. Game Freak doesn't base their deserts on real ones.

Well you can't just say that it isn't New York so GET OVER IT!
 
I'm not saying it's not New York. I already said, "I'm pointing out all the remaining arguments against New York so we can work together to remove them." Just because you don't like me doesn't mean you should only read the part of my posts you like to read so you can argue with them. >_>

Geez, why do I even bother if you'll just argue with me for agreeing with you? D:
