Sup /vp/. I'm starting work on a detailed Pokemon World Map project, and I want as many of your inputs. It'll be high resolution, full color, labeled, explicit route, town, city, landmark, etc indication, and whatever else I'm recommended by you. Give me your ideas of what you want to see, where regions should be located, and what you'd like to be included on the map.
Pic semi related, going for a similar style.
Maybe off topic,but in DP,did Unova and Kalos exist? and their pokemon did exist in DP? becuase i'm confused
>>25899426
>but in DP,did Unova and Kalos exist?
No; DPP came out before Unova. Which came out before Kalos; kalos is most recent.
>>25899426
Gameplay wise, no.
Story wise, the most logical answer is yes, but you could argue about alternate worlds/universes/timelines for hours on here.
I'd love to hear your ideas as to what regions should be included together or separated. I was considering putting Gen VI Hoenn and Kalos on its own, and putting Gen III through V together, then one specifically for Gen I and II. Seems kind of stupid, though. So I might just do all the regions in one world. Thoughts?
Heres base for the ocean layer and then a grid layer.
The spacing of the units on the grid is 32x32. Should I adjust the size, offset, opacity? Or should there be no grid at all? And if there is a grid should it overlap the land or specifically stay with the ocean layer?
>>25899548
I know it's not clear but there's a very small pattern in the water spreading across the whole map. It's not solid blue. This will be a lot easier to see in high resolution.
>>25899327
this makes no sense considering the regional climates
>>25899598
I know. It's not mine. I'm just using it as a sort of reference for looks.
Where do you think the regions should be?
>>25899327
Why not just base it off of Japan?
>>25899629
Considering Game Freak put a world map not based on Japan in ORAS, it seems like that idea is the least canon. However that map also has a lot of inconsistencies, so that's why I want to make something as globally accepted as possible.
The orientation of the regions will be used though (Hoenn furthest south, Sinnoh furthest north).
>>25899652
>(Hoenn furthest south, Sinnoh furthest north).
Isnt that limiting your scope?
>>25899674
That's what I was going with until given a better recommendation. Given, it's the most widely accepted concept. What's your opinion?
>>25899652
Got a source for that?

I'm not a vouch for Joe in any way, that's just the most in depth explanation/source on his map being in ORAS.
Getting off topic though. I want to make a most globally accepted map. His placements of Sinnoh and Hoenn completely contradict other official Nintendo publishings.
>>25899830
>His placements of Sinnoh and Hoenn completely contradict other official Nintendo publishings.
Exactly Nintendo has no intention of making sense of any of it.

This thread isn't about Serebii's map or the map in the OP. Help me make a new one that you and the majority can agree with.
>>25899878
>the majority can agree with.
>/vp/
>>25899781
Holy shit.
Still, though, it doesn't really make much sense. Sinnoh's much colder than Hoenn, yet in that map, they're displayed at the same latitude. Honestly, the Japan format for a Pokemon world map feels significantly less wrong than that geographical mess.
>>25899890
Okay bye
>>25899598
Considering the state of Kalos, the idea of regional climates is fucked.
Something like this feels a lot more consistent than Serebii's version.
>>25899897
>Honestly, the Japan format for a Pokemon world map feels significantly less wrong than that geographical mess.
Exactly. But the fact is Game Freak chose to use that rather than a Japan format map, which plenty of exist.
So the most logical action would be to use concepts from both. Like the Japan map, Sinnoh should be far north and Hoenn should be a southern region.
>>25899905
All regions have multiple climates in different locations at any given time. But when taking into account their climate as a whole and rounding to any median climate, you can figure out which ones make more sense being further north or further south.
>>25899327
Kanto, Johto and Orre are canonically next to each other, with Orre being a bit further away from the two others. Hoenn is also near both Johto and Orre, and since it's a tropical region it should be located near equator. Sinnoh is a northerly region, and is located on the same continent as Johto. Looking at the real-world map of Japan also gives a clear indication of where Fiore and Almia are located, while Oblivia is a bit more ambiguous. The Sevii Islands are below Kanto, which means they're to the east of Hoenn. Unova is on another continent, and is rotated 90 degrees (as in Winter, only the "western" part of Unova gets snow, which would make it the northern part). Kalos can basically be anywhere. Remember off-region areas such as the Sinjoh Ruins, Nature Preserve and Faraway Island!
>>25899932
Sinnoh has the tallest point, doesnt mean its the furthest south.
Don't forget that the Cave of Being in Unova reportedly leads to Sinnoh
>>25899965
>trying to make sense of pokemon world map
>>25899950

I would really want to see a source for that.

Or just the part that's farther inland.

Please watch and tell me your thoughts?
>>25900145
>hoenn literally farther away from kalos than unova is
No.
>>25900187
You realize there's a strong connection In-Game with Unova and Kalos?
Like, WAY stronger than Hoenn and Kalos.
Even in Hoenn, you can click on the Globe in Wally's bedroom, and it describes that he has put pins connecting the two Regions, or something to that effect.
Not to mention the statues in Kalos and shit.
Why the hell would Hoenn be closer?
You guys are forgetting Poketopia from Bat Rev
>>25900221
Explain why the hell Unova was literally Unova mons only right up until Black 2 and White 2. Unova definitely shouldn't be that close to Kalos.
>>25900276
> Implying people will want to remember battle revolution
>>25900145
I have always agreed that Sinnoh is connect to the north of Kanjohto.
Sycamor coming from Sinnoh by Train, the native Pokemon, and the other things present do lead me to land on Kalos' placement to the left of Johto being logical.
However the placement of Unova I do not agree with. In game its said that the Cave of Being connects to Sinnoh. I feel Unova would be on the east rather than the west.
>>25900145
>>25900341
Okay, excuse the absolutely horrible MS Paint quality, but hows this feel?
I also think the way each map Game Freak has presented us should be proper for NSEW, so no 90 degree flipping of any kind.
Any better ideas?
>>25900330
Its still a location with a map. people dont really want to remember Colosseum or xDDDDDDD but they still put it in
>>25899327
STOP DOING THIS
THE POKEMON WORLD HAS THE SAME TOPOGRAPHY AS REAL LIFE
WRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
SOSHITE, TOKI WA UGOKI DASU
>>25900399
lets put Sinnoh on top of Unova and see how that looks.
>>25900452
There's enough evidence to say that it isn't. Inspired, sure. Same topography, probably not.
>>25900452
No, no it really fucking doesn't.
The Devs have even stated that they don't want the Pokemon World to be identical to the real world. It's why they dont reference real world locations or events anymore.
There's inspiration, but that's it.
The only In-Game map, while proven inaccurate, definitely does not in the slightest suggest the Pokemon World looks the same as ours.
>>25900454
Not sure if I'm feeling it.
>>25900517

>>25900517

>>25900517
>>25900571
>>25900572
Again, ignore shit MS Paint. You get the idea.
>>25900571
I don't think flipping orientation should be considered. It just doesn't make sense, does it? The way they're all presented to us in game should be NSEW corresponding to UDLR.
>>25900603
>The way they're all presented to us in game should be NSEW corresponding to UDLR.
You're absolutely right, my mistake. Just thought it kinda clicked, but no, you're right.
>>25900517
Also, dont forget that Johto and Sinnoh are connected.
>>25900603
Holy shit this is actually a pretty damn good map.
You even have Hoenn below both Johto and Kalos. (Dont forget the Embedded Tower in Johto)
>>25900603
If we're including spin offs, lets try and see where we can fit Ferrum. This is looking good so far

>>25900454
Looks like wondering why Ash took a plane rather than a train
Unova is an ocea away, from the 4 previous region, and Kalos is two oceans away from them
>>25900896
See >>25900809
Also, planes = convenience.
>>25900896
There are no trains in Sinnoh. thats probably a reason
>>25900750

Once we decide on all the pre existing regions, we can worry about the empty space.
Why are Unova and Kalos together?
wtf man, USA and France aren't together
>>25900953
>I feel something needs to be done about all the undefined space in the middle.
Well, based on the connection of the regions, we pretty much know MOST of it is just a big ass mountain.
>>25901002
Read thread. Real world topography is pretty much not plausible.
>>25901002
Because Unova and Kalos aren't supposed to be literally together, and there are many In-Game clues in X/Y and OR/AS that suggest that Unova and Kalos are very close.
>>25901017
meh, you mean the guy tho rowed his way from Unova to Kalos?
that's the fucking joke, he crossed the Atlantic rowing

Since it is so hard to come up with a logical map that fits ingame implied arrange, it is the reason as why we don't see anything that truly depicts a map of the pokemon world atm.
>>25899327
Relative positions of Kanto, Sinnoh, Johto and Hoenn should be like their IRL locations.
Unova and Kalos shouldn't even be on the same map, they're too far away.
>>25901165
WEW
>>25901174
>>25901180
You boys should read the thread better.
This is the one I usually use
I always felt that Kanto,Johto and Sinnoh were located on the same continent with Sinnoh being further north than the Kanto and Johto.
I also think that Hoenn is off the coast of Kalos.
Unova is probably part of a different continent that is near the continent where Kanto,Joho and Sinnoh are located.
>>25901187
>Unova below Hoenn
>>25901002
>>25901180
>>25900452
Unova connects to Sinnoh, this is canon in game.
>>25901199
>Unova connects to Sinnoh, this is canon in game
so what?
>>25901222
Implying Unova and Sinnoh are the same continent. And since it's also confirmed that Johto is connected to Sinnoh in game, this means Kanto + Johto + Sinnoh + Unova are the same land mass.
>>25901165
Don't be retarded, anon. That's not how it works.

What are you talking about? Cave of Being is on Route 20.
The cave most likely connects through the main mountain connecting the regions.
>>25901303

>>25901339
If they are in the same region, how come they use a totally different numbering system?
>>25900125
This still looks best so far desu senpai
Assuming the Cave of Being being "connected to the Sinnoh region at its deepest part" means it physically extends to the Sinnoh region, the only way that becomes plausible with Unova's geography is to assume the mountains Aspertia City is at the base of is the southernmost part of Mount Coronet's mountain chain.
>>25901360
>There's also a source for Unova + Sinnoh.
no there isn't
>>25901251
What exactly are we basing the Pokemon World Map on?Are we only using information from the games or can we use information from the anime as well?
If we go by the anime Kanto,Johto and Sinnoh are on the same continent since there were a few episodes in DP that took place at the SinJo border(the border between Sinnoh and Johto).
>>25901366
Same continent doesn't equal same region.
>>25901367
While I agree it looks good, flipping the orientation of region maps to fit seems to be bending the rules a lot. Earlier ITT we decided that all maps are presented NSEW=UDRL
>>25899327
That's a pretty ambitious project, OP. I wish you the best in this undertaking.
you need to do it tile by tile
>>25901386
>Same continent doesn't equal same region.
Hoenn, Kanto and Johto use the same system
>>25901374
In Game, it's said the Cave of Being connects to Sinnoh.
>>25901378
No Anime, since that already has a pretty established world map with a lot of inconsistencies with the games.
>>25901410
and so does Sinnoh
>>25901303
>Sinjoh Ruins
It's explicitly not in either Sinnoh or Johto, but somewhere in between. It was created by ancient people from both regions, which only implies that the two regions are somewhat close geographically. Doesn't mean they're directly adjacent, or even on the same landmass.
The Cave of Being connecting Unova and Sinnoh does not mean that they are on the same continent.For all we know the cave could connect two continents together.
>>25901423
Protip: look where the Cave of Being is located
The only place you can go that's not Unova is... the water
>>25901410
Hoenn could be close to the continent that Kanto,Johto and Sinnoh are located on.
>>25901441
>>25901410
>>25901427
The US and Canada are connected but have different freeway/highway indexes.
>>25901433
The best assumption is that they are, though.
>>25901441
>Cave connecting two different continents together.
Which seems more likely based on given information?
>>25901458
What are you talking about? The cave tunnels underground, and obviously isn't fully accessible. To the west of the cave would be the same mountain that connects Kanto + Johto + Sinnoh.
>>25901480
Oh yeah, I am sure it's just a coincidence the clearly Japanese regions of Hoenn, Johto, Kanto and Sinnoh all have the same numbering system
Whereas the clearly foreign regions of Kalos and Unova have a new numbering system :^)
>>25901441
>Sinnoh is contained in a pocket dimension inside Unova Route 20
I don't know why anyone's taking the "connection" at literal face value, especially when three Legendary Psychic types are involved.
Continent 1-Kanto,Johto and Sinnoh
Continent 2-Kalos, Sun/Moon region?
Continent 3-Unova(connected to Sinnoh by Cave of Being?)
Hoenn is close to Continent 1 and 2

I guess I have to make this clear for you again. This is about taking in game evidence and using as much common assumptions as possible to make the most PROBABLY game map.
What's more likely? A train connecting off of Kalos (I don't see one on its map) or the train that literally says in game that it connects Kalos to a far away region?

In an interview circa 2013 iirc, they talked about real world inspiration for Pokemon, and how they no longer refer to real world locations because they dont want people to think the Pokemon world is the same as ours. It is unique in its lore, geography, ect, but has many real world inspirations.

One by one
>What is Sinjoh Ruins
Nobody ever claimed that Johto and Sinnoh weren't in the same country
>What is Cave of Being
A clearly underwater connection, as there's no other way out of Unova (at all sides it is surrounded by Unova/water) and no way into Sinnoh (as it is an island)
>What is Prof Sycamore
What about him?
>What is Kalos train to Sinnoh
That doesn't prove it isn't an island, sorry senpai. Hokkaido quite literally has trains connecting to it. So does Britain and France.
>>25901912
Don't be a twat. They were still referencing shit in Gen 3, which I'll remind you is like 13 years old. Over half of the franchise is past that point (feel old yet?), and they have long since stopped making such references.
They even cheekily make a nod to Lt. Surge being Unovan from an NPC, in regards to his outdated "Lightning American" description in B2/W2.

It exists.
There are no train tracks shown anywhere in sinnoh in game by the way.
not even the creators have a world map. they just make up each new region as they go along based loosely on a real life region.
>>25901968
How the fuck did you jump to that? They're saying "America" doesn't exist in the Pokémon Universe.
Unova, being inspired by America, is essentially a replacement, and the NPC makes a nod to Surge being Unovan.
As you can see from Unova, it sure as shit isn't shaped like America.
The only way you can dig yourself deeper into the "dumbfuck" hole, is if you now try to imply Unova is "just Manhatten, in a larger PokéAmerica continent" or some shit.
Go on, I know you fucking want too.
>>25902005
News flash. The topography is confirmed NOT to be equal to Japan's.
LITERALLY READ THE THREAD FROM THE BEGINNING AND YOU'D REALIZE THIS
>>25902017
This is true. They DO give vague hints to the geography, so we know sort of which direction each region is. But no official map thus far.
Fun to speculate though.
>>25902017
This there is no world map.
Best you can get is pointing out real world inspirations.
>some poor intern googled "pokemon world map" and got serebiis shit, flipped it and stuck it in the game thinking no one would notice.
>>25902021
But it is.

>>25902042
>But it is.
Not that anon, but why are you so convinced that it is?
Because of the "inspirations", even when the games explicitly contradict such geography?
>>25902074
This has already been posted, we've established that the Anime world is not accurate to the games.

Are you just retarded or what?
Even with the Regions facing in a completely different fucking direction from each other, and directly contradicting the In-Game descriptions of the Geography of the Regions?
All that is disregarded because you can match them up to their Inspirations, like a jigsaw puzzle to a fucking child? Give me a single reason why this theory holds up, because until you do that, I'm dismissing you as a troll, or idiot. Or both.

THE
THREAD
>>25902195
no matter how much you scream read the thread it doesn't make these things not canon.
Sinnoh must be further north bc it's really frore
Hoenn must be further south bc it's really scalding
Underwater trains are plausible, Kanto and johto have one, unova have one(a lot), kalos too and maybe sinnoh too.
I think Unova must be further west, like america and kalos north-west like france, Cave of being maybe connects historically Unova and sinnoh
>>25902189
Ok fám, I see where we stand
>>25902193
So.
Let me get this straight.
Let's say the GTS is a real world, in game function that the characters use.
Let's say they DO play Pokemon games and use the GTS for it.
Okay.
Riddle me this.
Why in the ever living FUCK do the Pokemon they catch for real in the wild suddenly get traded through the GTS? You claim it's because
>MUH POKEMON GAMES IN THE GAMES
Yet the characters are literally using the GTS to trade their own Pokemon to OTHER characters.

Ignoring the fact that the thread has already established and acknowledged that the Devs dont acknowledge IRL locations anymore, and made effort to retcon such references in Gen 5, yeah, reading the thread might actually be damn important here.

your moms basement? Pretty shit choice.
A NPC says that Lt. Surge is from Unova
This means the Devs. decided to change real world references for pokemon world references (Unova is America basically)
This explains why the last versions don't talk about guyana or south america or any real place
In fact, some dev. said the pokemon world is different of our world, it has similarities, but it's not the same. You can find the quote in Bulbapedia.

No, not because I say so. Because Gen VI exists.

Right so it's earth with minor changes. Glad we got that cleared up

When I posted, it had been 5 minutes of just 4 posts, 3-1.
I assume people missed the poll, because after I made the post, it seems everyone went back and actually voted, and evened things out.
I do maintain that the guy pushing this retarded idea was the one guy who voted "Real Earth" up until that point. But that is just speculation based on how hard he is pushing this shit, feel free to laugh at my assumptions.

Not one person said that besides you.

>>25902407
No.
The point of this thread was to help OP come up with his map.
The fucktarded shitters derailed any conversation by whining that the regions dont fit together like fucking Japan.
Fuck you for making me reply.
Jap map makes the most sense, but I'd be down for changing my opinion if OP made a great map.judging by some of the prototypes though, I'm not too confident in their ability to do so :^)
>>25902408
I'll stick around. Not replying to any shitposters from now on. It gets tired, especially when the guy just keeps saying "b-but the gen 1 reference ;_:" and "b-but the anime globe!"

Just started Hoenn. This is only about five minutes of progress, so this is going to go by a lot faster than expected.
>Consider this:
>Unova has very few Pokémon from other regions: it's far apart from all the others, so it probably is in another continent.
>Unova it's based on NYC; Orre is inspired on Arizona/the West Coast, so both are in the same continent.
>Kalos has plenty of old Pokémon, suggesting it's near to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh; let's say that Unova Pokémon were introduced to the region rather than being native to there as well.
>Sinnoh is very cold: it has to be at the north.
>Hoenn is warm; it must be south of Johto
>Couldn't find a good Sevii Islands map, but they should be directly south of Kanto.
>New Hawaii based region will be in between the western and eastern landmasses
>If South Kalos, just move the northern portion a little to the west and it will fit well next to Johto.

Actual issue with the japmap.
Johto doesn't actually fit.

They could be introduced species anyway, just like camels and rabbits in Australia. I need the source on this though.
The Pokémon world is most probably a single state, or just a few states that cover several small continents. There's also the possibilty that all what we know about the Pokémon world is located actually just a portion of a bigger planet.

*Fixed
What was the worst designed region and why is it unova
A lot of people are missing the point of the thread.
We aren't trying to find where regions are inspired by, it's pretty obvious in that regard. We're trying to piece together the in game world.
All we really know is:
>Kanto and Johto are literally next to eachother
>Sinnoh is north of Johto
>Heonn and the Sevii islands are south of Kanto
>You can get to Sinnoh from Kalos Via rail.
>Unova is "america"
>"South america" exists
Japmap satisfies pretty much all of these except knowing where the fuck Kalos and Unova are in relation to the nip regions. Let alone any mention of Australia/Africa/Arabia/Greenland/Anywhere else
>>25902997
this is great, saved
Earlier in the thread, we found in game source that Unova and Sinnoh are connected, and that Kalos and Sinnoh are connected.
Okay, opinions on this. No flaming. Just opinions.
The green at the bottom is Hoenn so far. The black outline is my general guide for where regions will be placed.
Large mountain(s) will run through the majority of the continent.
>>25900603
>Unova and Kalos being this close to Kanto and Johto
I don't think so friendo.
>>25903106
Connected literally or spiritually?
