The Isshu Region in the games

[Lugion]

What versions hold Black City/White Forest respectively?

Black City is in Black. White Forest is in White.

Black City is in Black. White Forest is in White.

I may be getting Black instead of White. This changes everything.

Eh, I'm still going with White. Wargle and Zekrom ftw.

Anyway, Black City really blows White Forest out of the water.

IMO, Black City >>>> White Forest. Aside from being able to purchase evolutionary stones there is the awesome cloud animation and the ability to challenge trainers in the city. Or can you do that in White Forest, too?

Eh. Still like Black City better.

Nope, in White Forest you can only catch wild Pokemon. No items, no trainers.

 

[Coach]

I have to admit, Black City > White Forest. But Black City and White's exclusive Pokemon almost cancel each other out, but White is still better.

 

[63cohen]

Seems I might get black now.

 

[The Outrage]

If only White Forest's Pokemon were given egg moves or some exclusive move it may have been worth it.

Rankurusu trumps all other considerations. Surely any sane person must realize this.

I don't really like Rankurusu. I guess that means I'm insane.

 

[The Dude]

Absolutely. Seek help immediately.

Are there any pictues of routes or cities yet?

Not so much pictures, but you'll find tons of videos on YouTube.

The official artwork of the Isshu region does it no justice.

Just because the size of the cities and routes are scaled down? Isshu is still considerably tiny compared to Hoenn and Sinnoh.

 

[Falconwing]

there is a map of Sanyou city in the game manual.

The map made me think Isshu was garbage. Now that I've seen (most of) the region ingame I can say that I love it.

 

[Joshawott]

Isshu is definitely tiny, however, the architecture is absolutely beautiful, especially in White's Soryu City and that one bridge with hours near it.

It may not be the biggest, but it's the most beautiful.

 

[JohnnyCool708]

Isshu is a lot bigger then everyone thinks. That desert is bigger then all of the Tojoh tiny routes combined. I am looking at you route 31.

I don't even have the game, but from watching the walkthrough (with commentary of course) the desert appeared to be endless. Route 3 isn't tiny either. Routes are pretty good sized and although people may think Isshu is small, it uses most of it's random areas unlike Sinnoh which leaves a lot out.
I still love Isshu

Just because Isshu has some rather large routes (and the desert is actually much smaller than the map makes it look, anyway) doesn't make it a huge region.
