So I guess Unova and Alola aren't related? If they were,

What did they mean by this?

>>27335542
The Autism color spectrum

>>27335542
The actual answer is the rainbow which has been associated with Alola since it was the codename for the unannounced games.

The obvious joke answer is autism

There's Unova pokemon in Alola?
If yes.they're related.

>>27335542
>the autism spectrum

I see they have roadblocks.

>>27335572
From Gen 1-4 all regions used an ascending route pattern to mark their routes. Basically, the more regions and gens we got, the higher the route numbers became.

Unova came along and changed that. There was a new Route 1 that was obviously not the one in Kanto.

Kalos did the same.

OP is conveying that like the last two generations Alola uses a unique Route system that is unaffiliated with any past regions.

>>27335751
Which it should not be, theoretically, because Hawaii is a US state. You'd think they'd use the same numbering system like they did for all the Japan-based regions.

Of course, Hawaii is far enough away from NYC to have its own routes.

>>27335719
Fuck.

>>27335841
I could see why people would think there would be a connection since, like you said, the Japanese based regions all carried on the same numbering system.

I have hardly touched the side games. Did any of those games have route numbers that corresponded to another Region? I know Orre is based on Pheonix, AZ.

The others, I think are either based on Japnese or European areas.

Oblivia, though, has some Hawaiian influence from what I saw of Guardian Signs.

I hope routes still have unique names like in Kalos

Hawaii has their own highway numbering system that's independent of the rest of the US. The reason is because they were created in the 50s, a couple years before Hawaii became a part of the US. Before that, they were just something akin to Puerto Rico.

>>27336145
well as you can see route 1 doesnt have its name so....

>I have hardly touched the side games. Did any of those games have route numbers that corresponded to another Region? I know Orre is based on Pheonix, AZ.
No.

>Oblivia, though, has some Hawaiian influence from what I saw of Guardian Signs.
If any real world location corresponds to Oblivia there's a good chance it's the Oki Islands. Of course, it could simply be its own thing. The Hawaiian influence is there either way, however.

>>27336145
This was one of the best parts of Kalos in my opinion.

>>27336218
Here's the answer to OP's question.

>>27336962
Kalos route names only appeared when you first enter them, not on the signs.

>>27335751
That's because all 4 regions are in a single country (Kanto, Jotho, Hoenn). The other 3 are in other countries.

New York and Hawaii
Why would they share road numbers, they are almost on the other side of the world from one another.

I think a more important question that we're all ignoring is whether this is an imperialized or independent Hawaii.

I wouldn't expect it to be related to Unova, especially since we have a koala Pokemon. I'm going more with generic pacific island heavily based on Hawaii

Even within the United States highway system, Hawaii has its own numbers. The interstate highways in Hawaii are numbered H1, H2, and H3, rather than being continuously numbered with those in the continental U.S.

So actually having a different numbering system in Alola is perfectly consistent with real life.

>>27335542

Unova and Alola far way from each other.

>>27335542
Alola is far away from Unova, even if they're both based on US states.
