CoroCoro calls Alola the "Southern Islands".
YFW when you realize they are the south to the "Northern Landmass" Kalos.
>>27166574
no
>>27166574
>Kalos
>>27166594
We Southern Islands now bois
>>27166574
Well one thing is for sure: calling them "Southern Islands Alola Guide" makes you think why are they southern? Are there northern ones? Or maybe Alola is somehow connected to Kalos and together they are a whole?
>>27166574
You're right just like how Hawaii is geographically located below France.

I nostalgia'd

Pokemon geography isnt real life geography

>CoroCoro calls Alola the "Southern Islands".
Literally Hoenn 2: Hydro Boogaloo
Do we even have any names for the towns?
>>27167221
Nope.
All we have is the first island being called Melemele.
>Region based on France
>Southern France is a bunch of islands
Why is /vp/ the most autistic board?
>>27167237
Becuase Pokemon World isnt like real world? Sootopolis is based on a Greek island and guess what: it lies in the middle of Hoenn, region based on Japan.
>>27167237
You mean retarded.
The ones who'd actually point out basic geography would be called autistic.
>>27166691
>>27167237
Kind of fucking sucks that they just looked at the "beautiful" aspects of the country, and ignoring shit like Corsica or the catacombs (which would have been a great source for ghost type pokemon)
>>27166721
I find that hard to believe, actually.
>Kanto and Johto next to each other
>Sevii Islands clearly the islands south of Real-World Kanto
>Hoenn a warmer climate than either, suggesting a slightly more southerly island
>Sinnoh colder than any of them, suggesting a more northerly region
>Unova and Kalos specifically stated to be much farther away from the previous four
>>27167237
>he cant see some jap devs taking the two most romanticized Japanese vacation spots and making them one utopic country
>>27167237
Like how a huge region fits into the size of a city? The Pokemon world isn't the real world
>>27167233
I looked back at the E3 presentation and there's no name when they enter the town displayed on screen. So weird that we're moving to the next island without even a name for the starting town.
Real world geography is somewhat accurate in the series. Sure. But with that in account, Hawaii is only somewhat south of Japan. Maybe I should go full genwunner and change Kalos to Kanto and ignore the Sevii Islands?
>>27166574
This phrase can mean two things in English. It could be like what OP says or it could be a guide on the two southern islands out of the four. The latter is what I always assumed it meant.
