why??

Because Alola is EAST of Sinnoh.

I suppose Sinnoh's east coast would be to be the first piece of land west of Poni Island.

>>30754610
So stupid OP. Clearly, Alola is following the sinnoh west sea.

But isn't the world round? Alola is both East and West from Sinnoh

Because SCIENCE! and magnets. Probably.

plate tectonics

>>30754772
The world set cardinal directions are based on your typical map, so Blue Shellos was named accordingly.

>>30754772
Right, but Poni Island's west coast and Sinnoh's East coast probably have no other bodies of land between them.

>>30755074
Major bodies, maybe. But even on our earth there are numerous small islands between Tohoku (Sinnoh) and Hawaii (Alola)

If you use real world geography, East-sea Sinnoh would be the pacific ocean, and west-sea Sinnoh would be the Sea of Japan.
Considering the Pacific Ocean completely surrounds Hawaii, which is what Alola is based on...
