All Pokemon locations in the games are based on real locations, although with various creative liberties. "Kanto" in the original Red & Blue was based on the actual Kanto region from Japan, but starting from Gold & Silver they started changing the names of the regions, with Johto being Kansai, Hoenn being Kyushu and Hoenn is Hokkaido. The localization attempted to hide that whole side of the game though, giving everyone and every city Western style names and such.

They do have a guide, but thats for people wanting to learn the language, not for people wanting to rush and skip shit so they can get tourism language. Different goals, different priorities, etc etc.

It's sort of a fossil word. Like a century ago, the word midori started being used to describe green things. But words had already existed using 青 to denote green, and those haven't changed since they were coined. I've got no idea why a green light uses 青い, though.
>>
>>141368186
You call a green light 青い but is the actual color green or blue?
>>
>>141367091
Japanese is a weird language with a long history, Midori is a relatively recent term.

It's green. Like, 500-750 nm wavelength green.

>>141368447
>technical context
Yeah. I mean, once physics proved that green and blue were two distinctly different colors due to the EM spectrum, that distinction is clear. For example, if you asked someone what color aojiso (青紫蘇) is, they'd say green (midori) despite the word containing 青.
>green pixels on a screen
I'd bet midori would be used. I don't remember any situation where I've specifically heard/read green pixel, so I don't know for sure though.
