Game-Canon World Map update

I would make the landmass smaller.

Also, I don't think the Kalos Sinnoh reference is actually true.

why does everyone despise the theory that the pokemon universe might not be in exactly the same geographic regions as the places they're inspired by? Cuz isn't it just that? They were just inspired by those places, they're not literally those places?

These two have been debunked on multiple occasions even by Game Freak themselves.

>>26378459
The picture in the OP isn't the entire globe. There could very well be Pokemon-world equivalents of South America, Russia, China, India, etc. But those being present doesn't confirm Japan = Kanto/etc or NYC = Unova by any shredded bit.
Also
>Mewtist

>>26378482
One of those is anime canon, which is irrelevant. One of those is a scene from a Trailer before it even establishes any in-game imagery, so it's irrelevant. One of those is the Trade station from Platinum, which represents OUR world, as we're trading OUR Pokemon with other REAL People. And the last one is a globe that resembles our world but I don't see any regions on there :)

And the fact that Unova is roughly the same size as Kalos debunks that as a whole. NYC is nowhere near the same size as the country of France. Boom. Debunked your "Real world" theory.

>>26378385
By Pokemon standards, it doesn't look that close to me. Mountains would be blocking it off based on in-game topography.
Also, OP says
>Unova north east of Kanto due to sharing the closest native wildlife. Also east of Sinnoh due to Cave of Origin being connected to Sinnoh. Again, topography is also put into account.

>>26379109
Cool denial but those are canon.

>>26379253
see >>26379222

They aren't :^)

I really wish there was a official map for all of this. But gamefreak then would feel forced to use that mass land for future regions and that would be a lot of compromise.

They could always cover some parts of it with clouds or whatever.

Look at a map, where the beam is shooting out is France and below that is Africa.

The perspective is off but you can tell because of this water here.

Although it does seem like some landmass is missing in the Pokemon world.

>>26379248
There is no way Unova is closer to Kanto than Sinnoh is.

>>26379486
First, thats not the one i was talking about

Second, France isnt Kalos. If that was true l, then that would mean Unova is New York City. But NYC is nowhere near the same size as France.

Debunked.

>>26379528
>First, thats not the one I was talking about.
Woops, sorry.
>the rest of your post
Anon come on.

There are much better ways to get (You)s.

>>26379512
Consider Unova lies south east of Kanto, and Sinnoh is north of Kanto, that puts Unova between the distance. Sorry.
Stop acting like Unova is directly touching Kanto. Your head canon does not debunk in game facts.

>>26379222
>These two have been debunked on multiple occasions even by Game Freak themselves.
When?

>>26379546
The rest of my post is a factual claim. Are you implying that NYC is the same size as a country?
Nobody is baiting but you.

>>26379552
Unova is nowhere near Sinnoh, though. The cave leading to Sinnoh is most likely very long.

>>26379567
>>26379528
>But NYC is nowhere near the same size as France.
What do you mean "size"? We have no clue how exactly the regions are being compressed between their in-game and in-universe sizes. Are you seriously suggesting that the regions are exactly as big as shown in-game, with towns that are only 3 buildings?

>>26379561
>what is BW Toys R Us event book
>what is ORAS not using a Japanmap

>>26377299
>>26379552

As a suggestion, can someone bother to put all routes and towns of the other regions there? It would add enormously as far as visuals go.

>>26379581
>what is BW Toys R Us event book
Interesting, do you have a link to that? I want my head canon to be all the regions on one continent, it'd be cozy as fuck.

>>26379571
Just like in the map in the OP.

You have to think about the Pokemon world in Pokemon size, not Real World size. A region typically consist of only less than 20 towns or cities, a "NYC" is the size as a "France", and a typical town is three or four houses with a population of 9 people. Remember, Game canon.

>>26379577
Going by Pokemon scaling, compare the sizes of all the NPC sprites. Then use that to graph the sizes and proportions of each region. Unova compared to Kalos is nowhere NEAR as small as NYC compared to the country of France

>>26379596
as soon as fgts.jp servers come back up, search it in the archive. one anon posted scans

>>26379222
>And the fact that Unova is roughly the same size as Kalos debunks that as a whole. NYC is nowhere near the same size as the country of France. Boom. Debunked your "Real world" theory.

The world in the games is never in its "real size" though. Or do you really think there are towns with just 3 houses in them and the biggest city is one that has, what, eight houses and a couple buildings? And the houses are bigger on the inside than they are on the outside.

That just means Kalos is less scaled down and Unova is closer to the real size, but it still very far.

>>26379610
That means Unova is extremely close to Kanto. Which certainly isn't the case.

>>26379581
>>what is Masuda saying pokemon world is not our own

stating the obvious? that doesn't mean the countries/continents don't look the same, just that it's not our exact planet earth

that is, they never refer to the planet as "earth" just pokemon world, planet, universe, etc.

>>26379631
How the fuck would that give you the size of each region? This isn't hard science, it's a children's game made by people who doesn't give a fuck about geography or lore. There's no reason different regions can't be scaled differently from others.

>>26379699
headcanon does not trump in game canon, no matter how you slice it, sorry.

>>26379719
>extremely close
No closer than Hoenn is to Johto.
"extremely close" in pokemon world map terms would be KanJohto. If you can provide an in game sources of Unovas exact location in regards to Kanto's, ill happily update my map

>>26379732
So are the people in Kalos, KanJoh, etc giants compared to the people in Unova?
No. Use your brain, just without the head canon.

>>26379732
Occams Razor says the simplest outcome is the most likely. Unova and Kalos are fairly relative in size, as are most regions. But NYC isnt the same size as a country. Stop acting like your personal belief outdoes in game facts. This is a game canon map, not your canon.

>>26379581
>what is ORAS not using a Japanmap

Gen 7 uses the world map

>>26379222
>globe that resembles our world but I don't see any regions on there
I don't see any regions on the serebii map either :^), in fact, it is also inverted

But who cares about the serebii map, that's old shit, Gen 7 confirmed that it's our world

Bird keeper Toby has a slightly better theory imo. The difference being that unova is far west instead of east on your map. Although i don't agree with his placement of faraway island. There's been maps shown of earth in the games, so I'm going with that. Although alternate geography theories like these are fun.

>>26379807
Occam's razor also indicates that regions with similar geography, culture, landmarks, native creatures, food, language, and other similarities would imply an alternate version of earth with differences but similar geography.

These threads are nice for shits and giggles when people don't get all butthurt over REAL WORLD but you guys arguing your head canons are more legit than current canon is worse than the people who run clickbait theory videos.

So here's your (you)

Until you can interact with that globe in game and confirm that it says "A globe of our world (Pokemon world)", then that proves nothing.

>>26380454
>Occam's razor also indicates that regions with similar geography, culture, landmarks, native creatures, food, language, and other similarities would imply an alternate version of earth with differences but similar geography.
You're correct, except that we know for a fact that this isn't the case. The Pokemon world is not ours

Quote from Masuda
>Masuda: We actually don’t think of the world of Pokémon as Earth. If we were to do that, we would kind of be limited by what we could do. By thinking about how physical objects work on Earth and how various elements work on Earth, we would kind of be limited to that if we though of it as Earth. We think of it as a place that is really similar to Earth, but is a different planet of its own with people in it who may be similar to people on Earth

Should'nt Faraway Island be like Guam or some Atoll?

>>26377299
I think we lack a bit of in-game information.

Out of the 9 points of gave only the first 3 are valid and they don't mean much. Topography doesn't make any sense look at Kolas.

>>26381222
>Kolas
What did he mean by this?

>>26378556
I think this is the defining argument. Alola will again have routes 1-99 because it is "isolated".

Also, hoenn, johto, kanto and sinnoh must have some land connections (hoenn through sea route?) if they use 1-400 routes.

>>26378556
>>26382241

How does two seperate groups of Regions not sharing the same Route numbers serve as proof towards the Regions being geographically identical to their real world inspirations?

Canada, the USA, and Mexico are all connected, but they don't share the same roads and highway numbers.

Alola, following pattern, in theory should continue Unova's Route numbers.

Has the idea that the Pokemon world all exists on an island or a series of islands on our Earth, and that they know all about the rest of the world, but somehow they stay hidden from us ever been explored?

Like it's an isolated ecosystem where Pokemon exist, but no one is allowed to come or go. It would explain every issue in this thread.

Masuda has said it's not on Earth, so no, that's not even possible.

"Hahaha, I don't know."

>>26377299
>>26382279
I don't know if you want to use the anime for this, but the way they go about it is
Kanto next to Johto.
Hoenn is a few hours on a boat from Kanto even though in real life it'd take around 34 hours by boat.
Sinnoh is a night's boat ride away from Kanto even though it's really an over night plane ride
Unova is a few hours on plane but a few days by boat and it takes half a day to get from New York to Japan. Also added to that is that just like the games the anime references Unova and Sinnoh having a meeting point at an island.
Kalos is an over night and few hours between each day flight from Kanto while it takes 12 hours from Japan to France

Basically, you can't really use real world distance to try and determine the geography.

Meanwhile >>26378482 has the top right corner literally from the anime.

I'm just giving some concept here seeing as you have your references in the games about Sinnoh and Unova, Sinnoh to Johto, and Sycamore talking about going to Sinnoh while Colress came from Unova.

If you don't want to use it that's fine.

>>26382359
>orre and unova are nowhere near each other
This. However I can accept Orre's placement in relation to the one in the OP considering NYC and Arizona are pretty much polar opposites as well, which makes sense. Kind of the only real world influence I could see being probable.

>>26382361

Not OP but I can try to answer questions how I see it.
>Where is Guyana?
This island could be a ways away from Guyana seeing how the planet is Earth+.
>And the Faraway Island?
I'm not too sure about this one. Birdkeeper Toby says that Faraway Island is Guyana but that doesn't make sense because Guyana doesn't have cliffy shores. I assume it is just an island near Guyana and Hoenn.
>And Holon?
Was there any sort of map of Holon? Also, is there any sort of dialog connecting the Holon region to the other regions?
>And Alola?
Too little information to place it on the map. If OP were to place it on the map right now it would be undoubtedly changed after Sun and Moon come out.

What in the flying fuck does the Cave Of Origin, a location in Hoenn, have to do with the locations of Unova and Sinnoh? I'm assuming you mean the Cave Of Being, and even then they never mention anything to do with it being connected geographically to Sinnoh

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Professor_Sycamore
>According to a male Scientist on the second floor of the lab in Lumiose City, Sycamore learned a lot from Professor Rowan in Sinnoh when he was young.
This coupled with the letter he left for himself at the train station implies that he came by train from his previous location (Sinnoh) to Kalos.
>What in the flying fuck does the Cave Of Origin, a location in Hoenn, have to do with the locations of Unova and Sinnoh?
Jesus, calm yourself. I meant the Cave Of Being, obviously, considering Hoenn has nothing do with Unova or Sinnoh.
>they never mention anything to do with it being connected geographically to Sinnoh
You sure? It's shown that Sinnoh Pokemon travel into Unova from the Cave, and it is said to connect Unova to Sinnoh. Now if you're one of those autistic kids, you might say "oh well it could just mean connected spiritually" or some shit. But no. If that was the case, Game Freak would shove some lefthand bullshit two-paragraph lore at you like they do every chance they get. The Cave of Being connects Unova to Sinnoh, plain and simple.
>Not only are you reaching
Reaching? How the fuck is sourcing in-game evidence reaching? Are you implying that what you believe has more substance that actual facts?
>you seem to be a retard who can't check your own facts
Oh no, did I make you upset? Cool your shit, I'm doing a playthrough of Gen 3 right now and mixed up Being with Origin, who gives a shit. All my previous threads have said Being. You must be really "reaching" if you're finding the smallest things to get mad over.

I've only posted twice in this thread before this post, and close together.

>South America exists in Pokemon
>no es fake!

>>26391225
this is the most idiotic statement in this thread... and then you have to repeat it...

a globe is a fucking globe, so it is canon. you are pretty much saying, if the pikachu on his drawers, doesnt say its a pikachu, or isnt catchable in this region, then it cant possibly be a pikachu...

>>26394190
>you are pretty much saying, if the pikachu on his drawers, doesnt say its a pikachu, or isnt catchable in this region, then it cant possibly be a pikachu...
Exactly not was I was saying. Do you have any comprehension skills?

>>26394211
Different guy, but for the sake of simplicity and all that Occam's Razor bullshit, I think we can say with 99.5% certainty that the globe in his room is a globe of the world he lives in. Not many people have globes of fictional alternate dimension versions of Earth in their room in real life

Not that this proves you one way or the other of course - the Pokemon world could be incredibly similar to ours while still having a single continent across all the games - but to suggest that the globe in his room isn't the Pokemon world seems a little ludicrous to me

The pokemon world mirrors the actual one
Deal with it
OP picture is autistic garbage

>autistic garbage
Yet everything you've said so far is literally an assumption. Fuck off, Maptist :^)

>>26394243

>being this mad

Show me something in-game that supports this, through and through. No bullshit. I expect you to just get mad again instead of actually trying to prove a point, though.

Why do people in this thread keep saying 'maptist' like it's one guy

Do you fags really think this is some kind of 1v1 debate, as an outsider looking in it's pretty clear that there's some 5-10 people on each side of this """"debate"""" and you'll never convince the other side because who fucking cares Game Freak will never canonize it one way or the other, I'd be more than willing to bet that Game Freak intentionally made it so that the geography can be interpreted in a dozen different ways, so as to leave it up to the player to decide

Fucking /vp/, man. No wonder people joke about the autism here

>Anime Screenshot
Irrelevant
>Trade Station
Considering that globe represents our world, as in the GTS, this is just breaking the fourth wall.
>Trailer
Considering the Eiffel Tower doesn't actually exist in game, this is our world, not the Pokemon world
>SM Globe
No assumptions about this until we know more information

>>26378459
>Surge
Lt Surge was retconned into being an Unova native after Gen 5
>Russia
>All of these Gen 3 and 4 screenshots
Consider all of them retconned again due to the Lt Surge nationality switch when Gen 5 came along
>"Chinese legend..."
Alright, there's a China.
>Pacific Ocean
Are you implying the Pokemon world can't have its own pacific ocean without it being ours?

Quote from Masuda:
>it's earth, but not our exact same earth, because that would limit what we could do (like making a Russian island that is covered in snow 80% of the year a tropical vacation island)

It's earth, but taking "artistic liberties". Case closed, faggots

>>26394316
>Lt Surge was retconned into being an Unova native after Gen 5
Did this actually get retconned? Where was it stated? I don't recall anything specific coming up.

It wasn't, there's a guy in the PWT who wonders /IF/ Lt. Surge is a native Unovan - he doesn't say with any certainty. I imagine it's a tongue-in-cheek kind of reference from Game Freak because that way they're simultaneously acknowledging the original canon and dialog of Red and Blue, whilst also poking fun at the question of whether the real world and the Pokemon world are the same or not.

To me, that one quote renders this whole thread irrelevant. It's almost like Game Freak's way of saying "it's up to your own fucking interpretation nigga"

>>26394391
Game Freak has always been more shrug their shoulders and go "lol I don't know" when it comes to lore. Take the entire fucking Pokedex for example.

I honestly don't think Game Freak gives much thought to most of it in the long term, only in the short term. And even then, not much in making a living world.

>(like making a Russian island that is covered in snow 80% of the year a tropical vacation island)
Which is this?

>>26397032
Battle Zone.

>>26397101
It's hot because of the big volcano and god of fire.

>>26382314
He said the Pokemon world is very similar to Earth.

>>26397032
It's not the Kuril islands, maptist.

>>26387343
I know people dislike the whole multiple regions thing, but a romhack or something where the original three regions were connected would be nice.
