    xD i didnt see the coolnick part :P Anyways yin-yang wasnt the only thing, and i still believe isshu is shanghai and that NYC is impossible to be isshu. Btw, is there any translation to those scans? HOw do you guys know they ocnfirmed it to be isshu? I saw sunnyshore posting this on bulbagarden(u probably used his scans) but in serebii forums they translated a part of convo but did not mention the NYC part. I will still w8 untill japanese guys translate it completely.
    Oh and forever could u please keep from locking it a lil while :P



    Insult you? In what way? Dont lie -.- However a lot of you guys attacked me. The reason why a lot of ppl changed their minds isnt because of my brainwashing, but because i posted the evidence.
    And i still find it impossible for isshu to be based on NYC :/
    Lolz i knew u guys would gloat after this. Surprised that it isnt rockman :P i guess he has dignity afterall :P jk rockman

    :o i was never gloating, I always stated that I might be wrong, take a look at any1 of my posts
    And when exactly i wasnt being civil :/
    Well anyways, i am denying it, but not because im emotionally attached to shanghai being isshu, but because I think that Isshu cant be NYC for its size, and the suzou landmark, oh and some pokemon too.
    I really would like to believe NYC is isshu but my common sense tells me no :P
    Anyways, if they really officially announced a region being based of somewhere, I think GF could announce it too >.< that would ease my consciousness, and make me believe it is in NYC

    Where were you gloating? Where were you not being civil?
    Oh, when every time someone posted New York references you told them it was wrong (even if they weren't arguing with anybody), and never failed to end your post with "But it's never going to be NYC because I say so."

    hahahahaha

    Cool...so Isshu's basis is New York City... :) The Hiun City concept inclined me towards that, but I also thought it could have been a more urban area of Japan (such as Tokyo, but I don't recall at the moment whether Tokyo has a Pokemon World counterpart)

    Also, that excerpt from Iwata Asks regarding BW increased my anticipation for the games, because it feels they invested a ton of effort (understatement?) and explored new options that have not been tried before... :cer_boogie:

    ... Because this is a discussion about the Isshu region and it's easier to see how it relates to New York when it's a bigger map with no numbers on it?

    PS chatspeak is really annoying and dumb

    There already is a thread about isshu region, post it there. This thread is where is isshu. I dont see how the bigger map was supposed to show us similarities to NYC :/ it makes me wonder even more that it is shanghai when i see suzou and the lake above it.

    Getting back on topic, i had a feeling Isshu was New York for awhile now. From that XXL map, you can see the 5 Bouroughs, the Brooklyn bridge, etc.

    I do think Isshu is based on America as a whole, because New York is pretty much a microcosm of America. For you illiterates, microcosm is a small group of individuals whose behavior is typical of a larger social body encompassing it.

    Dude, It has been confirmed in the Pokemon Pia magazine that came out, with the interview involving Ken Sugumori. Isshu is based on NYC. Go look in the thread about it.

    Well, Nintendo/Game Freak have betrayed their original audience and sold out the most loyal of players. Read my much earlier posts in this thread; I won't explain myself again.

    EDIT: Pretty much backs up what I'm saying. America as the racial melting pot and centre of the world is complete tosh.
