ITT: design flags for pokemon regions (and cities, groups, types, pokemon leagues, etc)

First task, design a flag for the Sevii Islands.
>>
>>31320659
Love these OP. Great thread topic. Alola is particularly interesting
>>
>>31320681
the Unovan flag here reminds me of the Prussian and Brittany flag, that chiq black-and-white combo.
>>
>>31320705
>Prussian
Fug, I'm getting it mixed up with another. DT,ISC.
>>
I like this idea. Johto (tho i would make the colors more vibrant here), Kalos, and Alola are pretty nice
I think Sinnoh would be better if the pokeball was a different color, platinum seems to be, for some reason, represented as a dull-ish gold coloring in a lot of things, it would go along well with the other colors there.
The colors inteh hoenn flag should pop a bit more, they seem kind of dull
Something doesn't really sit right with me about the Unova one. Not sure if its just the black/white American flag getting to me, but it seems like it needs more colors (even tho I know exactly what it's going for)
>>
oh forgot to mention the Sevii Island idea I had

How about something like seven stars to represent the islands? first thing that came to mind was the Australian flag for some reason
>>
>>31320780
For the Unovan flag, I would've made the lines black and white (Resh and Zek in harmony, occupying most of the flag and Unova), with the square being grey (Kyu being the discarded body left in the corner/CHASM). Then the top half of the pokeball reddish-orange (Resh's fire) and the bottom half light blue(Zek's lightning) .
The button is still white
>>
>>31320812
I thought of both the NZ and Australia flags as well, they seem like a good fit with the stars being the islands as you said. Maybe with the Kanto flag in the corner in lieu of the Union Jack.
>>
>>31320874
there's entirely too much red and blue going on all together lol. I'd prefer red/yellow, but that's just me

You know what, WORDS ARE CHEAP, here's an example.
>>
>>31320659
these flags are pretty cool, but it's off-putring to have the pokeball symbol on nearly all of them
for example, sinnohs flag could have a red triangle or arceus ring instead to represent the myths, johto a rainbow wing, something other than just "pokeball in x color", probably why the alola one looks so damn good compared to the rest

honestly tho, I think a different set up for the stars would be better, maybe group them similar to how the islands are grouped? I guess a blue background works best to signify the ocean

They might look better with the stars being the same color as the Kanto flag. Maybe yellow, something to complement the blue.

>>31321595
This seems like one of those ideas that makes sense culturally but in practice is pretty garish. Problem is, the Kanto flag already has the 3 primary colors and green, so any more colors is already too much (even the navy background is pushing it)
I'd make the stars smaller, or perhaps a different shape altogether. Maybe simply recolor the stars in >>31321128's version if you want to keep the FRLG theme.

Yeah, that was back in Gen 1, where Kanto was based on, you know, KANTO.

Gen 2 onwards they started building their own unique world, drawing loose inspiration from real world locations.

By Gen 4, they'd basically dropped any references at all, and an NPC in Gen 5 humorously calls Surge Unovan, as a nod to his outdated description.

Let's see, what else.

>Sinnoh is the "center" of the PokéEarth, with the East and West seas on either side.
>Unova represents all of the USA, with it's own LA and Hawaii inspired towns
>Even though we ended up getting Alola ("Hawaii") on its own anyways
>Alola having 4 islands rather than Hawaii's 8
>Then there's Kalos which NPC's say is close to both Sinnoh and Hoenn
>And Sinnoh which is directly north of Johto according to HG/SS
>And Hoenn which is not even facing the same direction as it's real world inspiration

And again, Masuda has said that the Pokémon is its own place and not the same as the real world it draws inspiration from

So no, just because they called Surge American 20 years ago, doesn't make America real in Pokémon. You'd have thought Unova would have made that obvious.

>>
>>31327522
>an NPC in Gen 5 humorously calls Surge Unovan
He's directly called the Lightning American, and the NPC only wonders if he could be from Unova, the same way you might wonder if someone's from a certain state when you here they're American.
>>
>>31327553
They didn't change the description no. That doesn't change a single thing about my post, unless you're going to try to tell me that Unova is also called America, and nobody decided to mention it ever.
>>
>>31327522
Not him, but I'm unsure of the Sinnoh claim. I thought east and west was just because Coronet divides the region.
Also, technically 5 islands for Alola. Exeggutor island is Niihau.
>>
>>31327604
Well the Arceus lore specifically says it started creating the world with Mt. Coronet, Sinnoh, and expanded out from there.

The East/West Sea Gastrodon only emphasizes that, because as you say, Mt. Coronet is literally in the middle of PokéEarth, not just the Region, where Arceus started.

In Alola, for example, only the West Sea ones exist, because Alola is west of Sinnoh, and thus the West Sea Gastrodon are there. That's my understanding of it anyways.

>>31328828
B/W didn't have much Japanese culture though.

Arguably had the least in fact, of any Pokémon game.

The Mythology for the legends and shit was mostly Egypt, China, Middle East, France, and of course the USA.

Any Japanese culture prevalent in Pokémon games post-Gen 2 is just due to the fact that Game Freak is Japanese. The only region that is still used as the go-to to have a "Japan culture connection" is Johto, hence the Johto stuff in Alola.

Ok lads, rate my thoughts on making better in-universe flags:

Kanto:
>Japanese flag, but replacing the red dot with a Voltorb.
This is due to Kanto being mostly industrialized, with it's huge power plant being one of its only claim to fame. It's one of the Regions most closely inspired by Japan. Having a flag based on a Pokémon that has existed for centuries, rather than the semi-recent PokéBall invention, makes sense too.

>Alternatively, something purple because the Region is themed on the colour Indigo, not R/B/Y/G

Johto:
>This should absolutely be something rainbow coloured.
But at the risk of making it look like the gay pride flag, you could instead simply have the flag be the Rainbow Wing on white, like Canada.

>inb4 Canada Flag IS gay pride flag

Hoenn:
>Trumpets
Just kidding, I couldn't give a fuck about Hoenn, and there's nothing interesting lore wise to me that would make sense as a flag. Maybe Regigigas's Dots or something.

Sinnoh:
>Arceus's Marking
Either the markings of Arceus, or something reminiscent of the platform at Sinjoh?

Unova:
>Yin/Yang?
I actually really like the humorous USA flag in the OP, but there's something missing from it. I feel like it need to be reworked (or scrapped entirely) in favor of something showcasing the Yin/Yang.

Kalos:
>Perfect
I unironically like this one, and if any of these flags should look closer to the IRL version, its the French one. Plus, this one actually makes sense for it to have a PokéBall on it, because Kalos is where the PokéBall Factory is.

Alola:
>Change the background?
I get the theme of these flags was to use the colors of the versions of the Gens, but it just doesn't work, especially for Alola. The Sun/Moon symbols being mixed is great, but the back should be changed to a rainbow, or instead something representing the 4 Guardians, or even just the kinds of patterns thats on the guardians.

r8 my ideas. Also suggestions for Orre/The Ranger Regions? Sinjoh?
>>
>>31327578
Unova is just the name of (NY+J) Region
>>
>>31332485
No, genius, Unova draws inspiration from literally all over America

>Has TWO deserty areas in the middle of the region, and a Volcano (take you pick of flyoverstates)
>Has Clay and his mining-themed City to represent Texas.
>Humilau is based on Hawaii
>Has Charizard Bridge (Golden Gate)
>Has Virbank (LA) with PokéStar (PokéWood in Japanese, obviously Hollywood.)

List goes on and on, I'm not going to sit here all day listing every single USA inspiration for Unova.

Unova is supposed to be the USA region, shaped very loosely on the geographical shape of NYC, because it's possibly the most iconic "map" of the US next to the entire USA map, which simply wouldn't have worked well for a Region. (Way too long a stretch between most of the cities, plus making it closer to IRL geography would have severely limited creative freedom, huge portions of the map would have been constricted to sticking to the same kinds of terrains.) If you look at the Unova map, it's also clear that it doesn't seem to extend at all to some hypothetical fuckhuge Murika Region. Cities are Cities, and Unova has tons of them Unova as a Region is just based on the shape of NYC, while all of its locations are inspired from all over the USA.

Castelia is the only actual NYC part of Unova, complete with its own statue of liber-I mean, Liberty Garden.

Orre and Alola prove that Game Freak/Pokémon aren't above using the same inspirations twice for different Regions too. Orre and Alola are still their own Regions wherever they are in the PokéWorld, and are not a part of Unova. They don't even share Route's like the "PokéJapan". Sinnoh was really the last time Game Freak tried to keep things 1:1 with the IRL inspiration. After Sinnoh (which was almost 10 years ago I may note), they decided to focus the Pokémon world as its own place, taking loose inspiration, but giving themselves much more freedom to build regions how they wanted.

Hoenn is all about weather and enviroment, its a very diverse reagion with all kinds of biomes where people try to find balance with nature itself (hell, even the box legendaries have a lot to do with that) so the flag should reflect on that

>Having a flag based on a Pokémon that has existed for centuries, rather than the semi-recent PokéBall invention, makes sense too.
Silver: It was discovered when Poké Balls were introduced. It is said that there is some connection.
Crystal: During the study of this Pokémon, it was discovered that its components are not found in nature.
Ruby: Voltorb was first sighted at a company that manufactures Poké Balls. The link between that sighting and the fact that this Pokémon looks very similar to a Poké Ball remains a mystery.

>pretty sure there's more than 1 pokeball factory in the world
An NPC in Unova says that there is a place where they make PokéBalls in a faraway region (hinting the upcoming X/Y having such a location)

Then Kalos of course has that factory, which is treated like the only one.

>>31332999
Source: your ass

They share Pokémon Leagues, thats it.

>>31333071
I never said anything about the name though, I have no doubt Unova derives from that, because it's using the geography of NYC as its basis. But as you agreed with me, the main point I was making is that Unova isn't just supposed to be NYC, but representative/inspired by locations and landmarks all over Murika.

What they probably mean is that the 4 regions aren't a unified country, not that they can't be pieced together on a Japan shaped landmass.

>>31333222
>It's easier to accept that Japan is Japan
>Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Shinnoh have 1-to-1 equivalence to places in Japan
Wrong. It was always fairly loose, and after Johto it starts to fall apart.

Hoenn isn't even facing the same direction as its IRL counterpart. The landmass is altered, and then rotated 90 degrees.

HG/SS absolutely outright deconfirms the idea that Sinnoh could be North-East of Johto, like it's IRL counterpart would be. Instead it's explicitly directly to the north (In-Game map, AND NPC's both state this), with Sinjoh (a completely arctic region of mountains and snowstorms) between them.

Because of this, you end up with the Japanese Regions piecing together on a landmass comparable to a triangle, rather than Japans banana shape. With Hoenn somewhere south of Johto of course.

When you take into account Unova (a Region based on the USA, but in the shape of NYC, and presumably no bigger than the average PokéJapan Region) and Alola (the Second location in Pokémon inspired by Hawaii, but with only half the islands, and not a part of Unova) it should be abundantly clear that the Pokémon world, including the 4 Japan-inspired Regions, do not piece together into the landmass that inspired them.

Kanto-through-Sinnoh is not literally supposed to be Japan, and is never called that, much like Unova is never called America outside of the Surge reference, and Kalos is not called France. The Pokémon world is its own world with its own geography and landmass.

It is inspired by, and similar in cases, to our real world, but ultimately its own thing as Game Freak designs it.

New Mexico's flag is better, although they're both pretty good

Kalos.

I don't disagree with you but

>Hoenn isn't even facing the same direction as its IRL counterpart.

is a bullshit argument. It's like that probably because it fits better in a landscape-style screen, while the real life region is more portrait oriented.

Popularity of this meme makes me sad. I can only hope, that nobody takes it seriously but as a joke.

Ideas for emblems asides pokeballs:

Johto - crossed feathers (Ho-oh & lugia)
Hoenn - something reminiscent of rayquaza? with the yellow circles and such. Something to symbolize more the peacekeeper that rayquaza is compared to groudon/kyogre
sinnoh - arceus ring
unova - I think the pokeball works best actually
kalos - a mega stone?

>Johto - crossed feathers (Ho-oh & lugia)
Problem with this is that Lugia isn't really well-known or talked about In-Universe.

There's just some rumors about a beast deep in the seas.

Ho-oh actually has folklore and stuff about it, so it only makes sense for o-oh to get flag representation.

>kalos - a mega stone?
While Kalos made Mega Evolution mainstream, it was first technically a thing in Hoenn. The Mega Evolution symbol might fit best on the Hoenn flag along with the Rayquaza markings? And then maybe Kalos would get the Mega symbol with markings reminiscent of Lucario?
>>
Is it pronounced Seh-vee or Sev-eye?

Or similar to how Hawai'i is pronounced?
>>
>>31333747
>Lucario being represented on a region's flag
Verboten, but if GF ever made official region flags they totally would do that.
>tfw Charizard is on the Kanto, Kalos and Alolan flags
>>
>>31320659
Why do we assume the lives of everyone in the Pokemon universe revolve around Pokemon?
>>
>>31333747
That's true. I think we can agree that Ho-Oh would definitely be represented on the flag, as it's a well respected local deity. And I think a mega stone would fit well for a hoenn flag, actually, now that you mention it. I honestly think Kalos is another one that works really well with just a pokeball, actually, like in the OP.

Because the games tell us so

Unova needs thirteen stripes if we want to go full America. If not it's just Greece's flag.
>>
>>31333683

>>31334118
I think something similar to the patterns on the Weather Trio would work better for Hoenn.
Mega Stone works for Kalos since Sycamore and the Mega Guru are the experts on it.
>>
>>31334542
Yeah, besides, Mega Lucario, the first recorded Mega, was discovered in Kalos

unova is basically a monochrome burger flag

Hoenn is almost the Republic of Karelia

Shame SM wasn't in Turkey. Because the flag of Turkey have a Moon and a Star(Sun) in it.

Maybe someone here have some free time to design such a flag.
>>
>>31335890
Just put it that way to emphasize the link, but that works too. Especially considering they'll never visit any other region in America.
>>
>all these people thinking the legends and/or geography need to be in the flag
I knew /vp/ was underage, but not THIS much. Pretty much every flag is related to politics, and while we know next to nothing about Pokepolitics, it still stands that making your 4-year-old's crayon drawing of their favorite pokemon into a flag is literally Liberian county-level of cringe
>>
>>31339153
Pokémon World =/= Real World.

Pokémon and culture are more important than politics in this franchise, hence why we know all about the folklore, and nothing about politics.

Why do you think just because it is like that in the real world that it has to be like that in a fictional world that doesn't want to be 100% accurate to the real world?
