What do you call people from Kanto or Sinnoh?

[Midnight Blue]

Like how in the real world, we have Floridians, or a Marylander. What would you call people from the Pokémon world?

 

[Rellik]

Well, since Kanto and Sinnoh are apparently based on Japanese prefectures, Im gonna go with Kanto-jin and Sinnoh-jin.

 

[Cross Poison]

Kantons and shinnons

 

[Metabee]

Me and my brother were talking about this the other day. We call people from Bristol, "Bristolians", with the accent. So, naturally, Kanto would be "Kantolians" and Sinnoh would be "Sinnohlians".

 

[Erebus X]

Well, since Kanto and Sinnoh are apparently based on Japanese prefectures, Im gonna go with Kanto-jin and Sinnoh-jin.

This. ^

But, really, I would probably just rephrase whatever I was saying so I could just use "a native of *location*." If that wouldn't be applicable, then I would definitely go with Kanto-jin and Sinnoh-jin as Rellik posted above.

 

[Cena]

I like the sound of "Kantonias" and "Sinnahns". Rolls off the tongue.

 

[Stuntology]

Kantonian, and Sinnosian.

 

[Ghost]

Shinnoans and Kantonians.

 

[CuboneKing]

I call them "Kantonians" and "Sinnahns", also "Hoenners" and "Johtoians".

 

[DarkDreams]

Kantonas and Sinnohins

 

[Champion Lance]

Kantonese. You just run the risk of people thinking that you can't quite spell properly.

Or there's always the nicely Latinate Kantoni and Sinnohienses as a counterpart to the Japanese "-jin" suggested above.

There could be dozens of linguistic varieties, really, just as there are different ways to say "Americans" or "Frenchmen" in different languages.

 

[Falconwing]

Kantons, Johtons, Hoenns, and Sinnohans.

 

[Aladar]

Kantonian, Johtonian, Hoenner, Sinnohnian...

...seriously, what the...

 

[batpig]

Kantonites, Johtonites, Hoennites, Sinnohites

 

[Chronos]

Maybe they could be like Indiana and be called something that is completely different from its region's name!

 

[Daynesuke]

i think kanto would be kantonese and sinnoh would be sinnohnians. makes sense to me and sounds fun.

 

[pikachu200]

Kantonians.....Johtonites......Hoennates.........Sinnohotos

 

[Barry]

Kantonians
Sinnohns
Hoenners
Johtons

It's like sci-fi names.

 

[Neltharion S. Deathwing]

Kantoist
Sinnohers

 

[Vsyoravno]

Kantonian and Sinnohian. Although now that I think of it, Sinnohsian sounds a lot better.

The other two I call Johtonian and Hoennite.

EDIT: Almian and Fiorian. Can't forget those!
