I've been trying to map everything in the alola region and figure out where everything is most likely to be placed opinions and ideas will be much appreciated
Circled blue is all the Pokemon centres
Circled yellow is potential gyms
>>26572749
When you fill it out like this, it makes me feel so much more positive about the region size
>>26573034
The region only seems small because it's split up but in comparison to how the kalos map looks it's a lot larger
I feel as though the triangular rock face far west is where the solgaleo/lunala are encountered... reminds me of the first trailer
>>26573220
And what about that "Tree of Life" type thing on the same island? With the light coming down from the sky on it? That's a pretty massive tree.
>>26573163
Yeah, that and it being stylised is what fuels me for being decent games
>>26572749
>deep diving?
Nope, it isnt an accessible area
Surfing areas are in red on pic related
Most of the sea wont be accessible and just crossed hastly in ship cutscenes
>>26573220
It is, ho back and look at lunaala in the starters trailer, right in front of the triangle.
Ok updated and also added in the bridge Lillie is standing at
The island to the far left, with the large rocky area. That triangular shape could be a altar of sorts cant it, seeing as there is flat concrete land infront of it. So imagine the legendary cutscene where either the sun or moon rises over the triangle, and then BAM the legendary comes in.
>>26573376
That dock on the west island looks like a town akin to Pacifidlog town. It may or may not have a gym. And the furthest south gym marked building on the east island can't be a gym. It doesn't make sense there.
>>26572749
This is great OP, maybe you could tie each landmark with what it's suppose to represent IRL as well? Could give us a good idea of what everything is meant to be.
Also I love how small region fags are retreating now that they see that the region isn't small and it's just their autism seeing things.
Has anyone noticed the stone henge shit to the left of the ice mountains on the far east island
i am hoping that center area has an underwater lab associated with it.
SEALAB 2021 style
>>26572749
>He thinks they would actually center the region around a battle resort and it's not just the League
I just don't want to get my hopes up about a battle resort again
>>26573513
I could try incorperating real landmarks but I can't guarantee much I'm no expert on hawaii but I doubt the japs are too so
>>26573575
I don't think it's a stone henge thing. It's probably like a water stadium with a central platform raised above the water.
It's usually a duel type arena where one opponent attempts to push the other into the water below.
>>26573595
The thing is, if the central building is the league. Where is the victory road?
Is it an under water victory road? Is the victory road inside that office building?
>>26573638
>>26573575
Whoops wrong reply.
>>26573376
the city where you circled that graveyard its not the same that the one above with that blue house ferry port thing, to get there you need to cross all that forest/cave that ends at the "graveyard"
>battle resort
please god no
>>26573376
That's not where Lillie is at though. There is another bridge near the legendary spot. That's where she is
Took some more screenshots from last month's trailer. Looks like it's mostly from the first island.
Does anyone have the link to where the dog/deer pokemon was at?

any ideas on the circular area in the upper right?
>>26573983
What bridge?
What are the odds of an ice type trainer coming to the region to train under the harsh sunlight?
>>26574153
I'll post mine...
>>26574178
Oh you should open it in Paint!
>>26574084
Looks like the Stadium from Pokken Tournament.

I don't know I just got it from an earlier thread. I'll try to find it and link it to you
What about that mist covered Island in the back? Looks like there's a giant palm tree or some shit.
>>26574178
That bridge doesn't make sense there's visible grass behind and infront of lillie and that is mainly sand and rocks
>>26574262
Thanks senpai. I knew it had to be from one of the press kits.

here's the school where you get your ass kicked because you're the new kid
There's some sort of orange in the forest next to the geysers in the first island. Hidden forest town maybe? There's got to be another Pokemon center somewhere. I do like how fucking huge it is without being populated.
Also, aside from the deserty island, they all seem to have backroads. Starting one has some sort of backroad. Mid-right has a backroad that maybe connects to the road going through the volcano. Fourth island looks to have a small one behind the 'elite four'.
Also, where's pearl harbor?
>>26574725
Pearl Harbor memorial bottom right island
>>26574178
nice catch on that slaking
also does anyone else find it sorta weird that there's so many mansions scattered around the islands? what are those
>>26574084
Girantina/Mewtwo tier legendary?
>>26574084
Those stone monoliths look like they are hinged. Maybe they flip down, and then you can access the area to fight solgaleo/ lunala?
>>26574178
So there are 3 blue buildings with brown roofs, two have been circled. Could they lead underground?
The big western island looks like it could be a giant archaeological excavation site. There appears to be ruins near the shore; an old stone archway and crumbled walls lead to a megalithic tower in the caverns
>>26575027
I think those are docks where the speedboat is
HIGH RES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL ISLAND
>>26574874
That's not even the right fucking island, dipshit. That's obviously a battle platform, it's got a PokeBall on it. Water Gym.
HIGH RES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL ISLAND 2
To add on, I think the only bodies of water to surf on (excluding ponds) will be the rocky shores. That's why they're blocked off by rocks from the rest of the ocean
Traveling to the various islands will be done by speedboat or fly. The blue roofed houses you are seeing are where they dock
HIGH RES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL ISLAND 3

No not the brown building with the blue roofs. Im talking about these.
>>26575131
That observatory at the top of PokeMauna Kea.
>>26575097
Naawwwwwww. Ya think?
>>26575131
Rain route confirmed, route leading up to the walled city
Where were you when Johto got confirmed
>>26575203
nice, didnt notice.
>>26572749
Where's the third legendary going to be?
>>26575236
add this to your collection
>>26575236
this is kind of ridiculous but I love it
especially since there's a pagoda style tower a la tin tower on one of the islands
I just noticed the sand waterfall
>>26575542
>>26575503
>>26575236
I like it
It'd be cool to have a postgame Lugia event that plays up on the whole sea monster aspect of it's design, and it's storm powers.
>>26574048
Fuck! The battle is the fucking SAME as XY. FUCK YOU GF AND YOUR 6.5 gen!
>>26575911
how its the same?
>background characters
>no more stupid circle
>>26575946
>same fucking 3d model and animation of pokémon
They change it as much as FRLG changed from RS.
>>26576096
oh that yes they fucking my bro xatu with that shit, but this is the same engne that gen VI, they are not going to change them until they change the engine, and that probably will not happen until like the second game on the next gen handheld
>>26575946
>pokémon still in stupid flying stoped in middle air
>pokémon still with the same stupid two animation only for attacks and status moves
>same 3D model and textures
It's just gen 6 with new pokes. Z can still be a thing next year.

Hate the flying shit. Fucking stupid.
Make the pokémon fly when he is using a flying move or in a Flying Battle.
>pidgey can't flying battle
>doduo can
>eelektros is a fucking bypedal
>airsurfing like a serpent
God, please fuck me.
>>26576358
not defending that shit but, eelektros has levitate
>>26573385
But the sun and moon rise in the east, and the altar is clearly in the west.
>>26576573
its in the west but it faces the east so when the sun rises you're looking at it
>>26576415
>you will never see this in games again
>>26574084
Possible sundial.
>>26576573
If your back is facing the big rock. But you're obviously looking at that rock when Solgaleo/Lunala appear (as was seen in the May 10 trailer).
>>26574178
Pearl Harbor is on the wrong island lol in your pic
>>26574178
>Thumbs Up Island
My sides
The flying shit is stupid. They could easily have one normal pose for regular battles, then make some special poses for sky battles. It's pure laziness on GF's part.
>>26573034
The nice thing about it being on an archipelago is that they don't need to add a bunch of extraneous details around it on the land for the map. Just water. So the islands themselves can be fully explorable and have whatever shit they want without pulling stuff like having a forest or mountains or whatever that make the map look smaller because you can't go there.
>>26577218
faggot
I know it's unlikely, but I want to believe that I can do some exploring in this game and not have to just take a boat everywhere -- which is a nice option for sure, but I'd prefer the choice between either one.
>>26578922
The best you'll get is Soar.
>>26574278
Spongebob is the third legendary.
>>26578954
And we probably don't get that until late in the game so we can't go somewhere we're not supposed to. Between this and Rotom Whisper Forme I'm losing hope.
The routes inbetween the towns are almost nonexistent.
>>26579164
I'm betting a lot of it will be dungeon-like. For instance the forest by the starting town will probably be about Viridian Forest in size.
>>26575068
>>26575087
>>26575109
>>26575131
Wow, these seem like really small areas. Less buildings on these entire islands than a lot of cities from older pokemon games on much worse hardware.
>>26579327
they look small but combine they are almost as big as hoenn
>>26579350
Maybe in terms of sheer landmass, but there's a lot less on these islands than there was in Hoenn.
>>26575503
Literally my mom's Ecruteak City
>>26579369
Well I would not assume so fasst right now, hoenn had many parts we could not go as well and I think we will get the dungeon situation where we enter a cave and it's huge on the inside. Lots of potential for underground networks between islands and that icemountain/volcano to be an amazing E4 map
>>26579327
It certainly looks like it's more rural than Hoenn in certain areas. I don't have a problem with that, I feel that Pokemon regions lately have been a bit too urban.
>>26579369
The art is more for showcase than how it will most likely look ingame. Everything is too closely packed together and there is probably stuff hidden behind the mountains and clouds, not to mention caves
>>26579576
>The art is more for showcase than how it will most likely look ingame
I doubt this. Region art has been pretty accurate up to this point. They probably scaled things back from recent Pokemon games because they're shit at optimizing and this is the first "open" Pokemon game.
>>26579576
>hidden behind the mountains and clouds,
Stop with this stupid meme. There are clouds on every region artwork and there's never anything hidden behind them.
>>26579655
>>26579638
>There are clouds on every region artwork and there's never anything hidden behind them.
>Region art has been pretty accurate up to this point.
>muh patterns
epic meme my friends
>>26579350
They are far bigger, and people that say Alola is small out themselves as complete fucking retards that can't even tell the scale of a map.
>>26579731
People will be singing a different tune when the game comes out. Gamefreak is banking on the new camera perspective to carry the game and distract people from noticing that this region is smaller than the others.
>>26572749
>>26577681
>>26577681
>>26579635
My theory is that that islet at the extreme left corner of the map will be the Safari Zone
>>26574084
Hunger Games
made a thread, didn't realize one existed. here's my ideas.
>>26575087
>only one pokecenter
Is this where those pokecenter trucks will be the most relevant?
>>26575236
anon, you are trying too hard
>>26575087
I'm betting that giant pointed rock formation with stairs leading up to a large, flat platform below it is where we meet Solgaleo/Lunala.
>>26583753
It is
>>26579095
Stop acting like a spoiled child and wait until the games come out to make your choice.
>>26579787
>26579787
Honestly, even though I still don't think it'll be as small as you think it will be, I wouldn't care either way.
I fucking love the aesthetic of this region; especially that cool-ass floating resort-looking place.
Not to mention all the varied landscapes on each island!
Fascinating...
>>26573301
[citation needed]
>>26575131
>Helipad atop the mountain
Helicopters confirmed?
I would be completely satisfied if this was all we were getting but I still think there are at least 1 or 2 more islands. I can't find 8 gym buildings and the left island seems to be an island without a town/city anywhere on it. It could maybe be a town below the pokecenter but that just looks like a boat dock to me.
I prefer regions where it feels like cities are isolated between wilderness. Gen 1 - 4 capture that feeling perfectly. Gens 5+ feel way too urban, though B2/W2 helped curtail that.
Sinnoh had the perfect amount of separation between the cities, especially after Hearthome.
>>26583859
>Stop acting like a spoiled child
Jesus Christ, fuck off with this mentality. That's complete horseshit, and you know it. Game Freak have been awful lately, and Sun/Moon are just more of that same kind of awfulness.
The point of teasers is supposed to make a game look good. Su/Mo do not look good in the slightest.
> to big
> to
>>26586282

Fuck off.
>>26576415

>>26572749
>there are no distinct grass patches
Holy fuck bros... They removed random encounters CONFIRMED!
>>26581579
>/vp/ guesswork
Please don't lump me in you silly theories. You can clearly see the road goes from 5 to 8 directly through a little path emerging from the forest where the arrows pointing to 6 and 7 diverge.
Gamexplain made a pretty remarkable job of analyzing the map

I think that's the fastest I've ever closed one of these videos. How do they not know that's Professor Kukui's place? Geez.
>>26572749
hate it
>>26572749
hahahaha battle resort ?
it could also be the pokemon olala League
>>26573376
he could be right with that wall for the Azoth kingdom,the movie XYZ is arriving
they always making games based of the movie,it could happen,so we all where wrong
that azoth kingdom was in the XY Games this is the azoth kingdom..
well AZOTH KINGDOM CONFIRMED
so Movie XYZ takes place in Hawai ?
>>26575236
hahaha i said it kanto,but johto is okey you also going to return to the kanto region as wel with the pikachu head thing.and now legends okey its time
I tried something similar, but i see you've done a lot better than me, OP
Good going
>>26579327
Maybe they want Alola to be a less populated region than the previous ones?
>>26573376
What's with the long red line?
>>26586627
Possibly, all they have to do is say HOOPA HOLE and they'd easily get away with it
>>26575145
gate houses ? Or some underground stuff
I think this generation quite says that there won't be a region in Brazil. Hawaii is a tropical place, so we won't get another one.
Buy the way, we might get many Grass type pokemon here.
>>26586645
Learn to punctuate, dude.
Im wondering if the spot with the multiple circle pools/waterfalls, could be a marine safari zone
