Honestly, I *HATE* post-apocalyptic sci-fi, but having studied info. about Orre (never played Colo/XD, unfortunately...My knowledge of consoles stopped with SNES, thank you, but studied Orre heavily...) there seems to be a certain whiff of "After The End" about it. Such is even referenced in the Wikipedia article relating to Regions in the Pokemon World [see below]:
So--Why Orre and nowhere else? Possibility of a "Dust Bowl" like in the US in the 1920's, maybe? Or was it just never that well-populated in the first place? Or, could civilization *really* be "rebuilding" from some "Event," and if so, what? Did the Shadow Pokemon go on a rampage and destroy the ecosystem? I am genuinely curious as to why Orre is so trashed and un-recovered, especially since the rest of the Pokemon World seems so verdant--OR: is it the Regions *we* know that are ecological enclaves and the *rest* of the Pokemon World is destroyed, with Orre but one example of what's "outside" the realms we're familiar with?The region is based on the Arizona desert, although the structures (most of which appear to be made of pieces of older structures) found within Orre lend a post-apocalyptic feel to it as well. In this region, wild Pokémon are rare...
