I was just browsing over northern Honshu (with north to the south) in google earth when I noticed something: A lake above the northern peninsula and a mountain range on the left one. And on closer nspection, I found a huge port city in-between the middle and right.
Well Johto had Goldenrod City and Ecruteak city and they kept some major cultural themes.
But what I meant was is that it will still feel very "Japanese-ish". The characters that they decide to actually populate the world with will still stem from what the creators are familiar with and have been accustomed to.
For instance, tons of characters will still have different color hair, look cartoonish, and have certain qualities. I don't believe we're looking at an entire region filled with Lt. Surge's, Fantina's, and Dahlia's. That, truth be told, frightens me.
Oh I agree. But I do think the characters will be a bit more... Westernized. I mean a lot of people have said that about the two main characters.
But I agree if its is New York City... It will basically be a NYC populated by Anime characters (if that makes any sense). I just hope they put some references to the real town! (hypothetically if this is based on NYC, etc. etc.)
Don't bet on it.I will say this: If they are in fact planning to bring in a Westernized influence, I sorely hope they've done the proper research.
Maybe I was looking at the wrong part.It says it's far from Kanto and Johto (i.e. Tokyo and other nearby places)

Was the picture intended to be in that post?The pic is zoomed out to see the entire area but if people want a zoom-in on a certain part, let me know.

Uh-huh. What part of it? I'll bring out an actual pic of it via google earth.
If you look north of the Pennisula, that's Mt. Fiji.Yes, granted its alot less urbanized. I'll give you that. But the peninsula to the left looks alot more like the one in NY than in Japan. The one you're pointing out looks way too big.

Which is Mt. Silver in the games.
That's Pallet Town.
I'd zoom in closer to the Manhattan Area.I'm uploading a picture of NY right now. Hang tight.

I see no resemblance to Isshu AT ALL. It's not just the colors, it's the shape of the land.
And for you, I'll go grab a pic of Mt. Fuji which is closer to the middle of Japan.
Also, I notice there's no mention of the badges being removed or reduced rumor. I guess that means its either a mistranslation or a false idea like the triple battles.
