So apparently Mew being found in South America has been decanonized? When was this said?
Or is this just some random bullshit that some /vp/ users have been saying because they hate the idea of South America being canon since the first generation of Pokemon?
If it was decanonized, in which region was Mew found then?
>>
>>56695188
LGPE if I had to guess? Lt. Surge is no longer a Unitedstatian in it.
Isn’t Mew encountered on the Sevii Islands in Gen 3?
>>
>>56695188
What does the diary say in LGPE
>>
>>56695188
>anon got buttblasted because South America exists in the pokéworld since gen 1

Meds

>>56695201
Now Unova is just Jew York, take that into account.
>>
>>56695188
when was that ever said in any game?
>>
>>56695201
>Isn’t Mew encountered on the Sevii Islands in Gen 3?
No, Faraway Island is in South America
>>
>>56695201
>Unitedstatian
calling Americans that is SO FETCH

It's so coral because it makes them mald
>>
>>56695188
>which region was Mew found then?
The same region with all of the Indian Elephants
>>
>>56695188
>When was this said?
LGPE Cinnabar Journal.
The transaltion somehow followed suit.
>Or is this just some random bullshit that some /vp/ users have been saying because they hate the idea of South America being canon since the first generation of Pokemon?
The ones making shit up are the realfags usually.
>If it was decanonized, in which region was Mew found then?
The Faraway island.
>>
>>56695395
India and South America are nowhere near each other, are you a retarded Italian Kike? or just larping as one?
>>
>>56695403
>xe is still coping from being BTFOd in that other thread
Holy samefag, get well soon lil bro
>>
>>56695208
According to the wiki, they deleted the second line.
The daisuki club report from recently(but prior to LGPE) still said south america
>>
>>56695442
I haven't discussed Mew in ages anon, so I've no idea what other thread you refer to.
What am I wrong about?
>>
>>56695208
LGPE isn't even mainline whereas RBY and FRLG actually are.
>>
>>56695444
Well if it's not in the games then it doesn't count
>>
>>56695594
LGPE is a video game.
>>
>>56695599
RBY, Stadium and FRLG are several games.
>>
>>56695599
And the daisuki club report isn't
>>
>>56695599
LGPE isn't mainline or canon
>>
>>56695608
How come?
>>
>>56695605
>>56695606
How does that make LGPE not a video game?
>>56695608
its mainline. Check GF's site.
>>
What the fuck is the daisuke club report
>>
>>56695652
>being this new
Its something poketubers don't tell you about.
>>
>>56695384
It really doesn't. Just makes you lesser Amerians sound retarded.
>>
>>56695201
Latinx calling card
>>
>>56695188
Pokemon doesn't take place in the real world anymore. There is no "South America" anymore, so Mew can't have been discovered there. It was discovered on Faraway Island.
>>
>>56695188
Everything regarding the real world in Pokémon has been retconned. They will probably just ignore the topic for now and when/if a south american based region gets made, they will says that Mew was always from there (see: Lt. Surge and Unova)
>>
>>56696120
>Faraway Island is gen 3
>gen 3 dex mentions south america
> A POKéMON of South America that was thought to have been extinct. It is very intelligent and learns any move.
>>
>>56696701
And LGPE's revision of the script, which is the most recent mention of where Mew was discovered, now simply refers to the location as "deep in the jungle" with no reference to South America or any particular location.
Thus, Faraway Island, if that's still where Mew was originally discovered, is now simply a random island that belongs to no region, neither real world nor fictional.
Just like how Lt. Surge was revised to no longer have his nationality be a relevant element of his character, nor does he refer to having partook in a war, effectively making his personality a LARP rather than him being a literal war vet.
>>
>>56695188
Decanonized. As of LGPE ALL real world references have been scrubbed.
>>
>>56696785
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

>nuGen shit
>Go shit at that
LOL, LMAO even
>>
>>56696849
Then why remove those elements in the first place when they could have 1:1 reused the scripts? No, retard, the fact they removed mention of everything I just said has meaning. You don't just chop off bits of the script for no reason.
>>
>>56696908
>it doesn't exist because the low effort cashgrab has less content than rby and frlg
KYS
>>
>>56696938
>can't explain why LGPE didn't just 1:1 reuse scripts and continue referring to South America and Lt. Surge being an American War Vet
I accept your concession.
>>
>>56695188
Even if it were still canon, I doubt they'd call it "Guyana, South America" still, they already un-Indianed the Indian Elephant and un-Americanized the Lightning American
>>
>>56696785
>effectively making his personality a LARP
just a retcon, it was true when those games were made

This Native American Birdperson is also from South America, literally confirmed in the pokedex.

Answer: Initially Pokémon would take place more like in our world, Kanto being the Kanto region of Japan. So there were mentions to other countries.

Mostly as a placeholder, because GameFreak never knew they would be like 30 years making Pokémon games. So obviously they retconned a lot from the early years.

Remember how in the anime we saw things like fishes or a weasel? Pokémon RGY was too vague yet, so of course they said "Mew was found in the Amazonas."
>>
>>56697562
Placeholder.

If anytime there's a south american region they will just retcon it to say "in the ___ region they say..."
>>
Mew is everywhere! Mew ist the best and cutest and silliest! Mew love!

Is this thing like Arceus who craves for Human dick or is just for other Pokemon of its species only?

WTF, bros! You told men all mention of our world was scrapped after Gen, why the hell is SA being mention in SS???????????????????
>>
>>56696592
> (see: Lt. Surge and Unova)
They never did this.
>>56697636
This has yet to happen.
>>
>>56698887
Cope
>>
>>56698887
The NPC in PWT that tells you about the gym leaders and champions hints that he’s from Unova.
>>
>>56698180
Poliwrath crossing the Pacific is also kept in BDSP. Which is concious because they, for instance, removed the Nobel prize reference in Slowing.
>>
>>56698923
Post it
>>
>>56698923
And?

Pokemon world's lore is a mess.
The leaks only confirm that they have no idea what they're doing. There is no canon.
They can't decide if animals exist or not, or if real-world locations exist or not. It's pathetic.
>>
>>56698959
>The leaks only confirm that they have no idea what they're doing.
Nigga, they literally had lore shit that wasn't supposed to be released. Your adhd narrative just died. Cope.
>>
>>56698959
I feel gen 1-3 was fairly consistent with lore by having it be “real life but this subset of magic creatures that can shrink also exist” and then gen 4+ fucked it up by introducing retarded creationist pokegods and slowly retconning out real world references.
>>
>>56696701
Are you still going on about that when the dex entries for first Gen Pokémon were copy pasted for 5 gens

It doesn’t confirm he’s Unovan but only hints it.
>>56699011
Gen 4 at least kept the real world references in HGSS.
>>
>>56699146
Lgpe confirms it
>>
>>56699639
He could be from anywhere in whatever country Unova is part of. If GF ever decides to make another region based on the US then there’s nothing to contradict Surge being from there instead of Unova.
>>
>>56698959
Real animals basically only existed early on before they'd sorted out what the series was going to be. They still show up occasionally through some oversights, but we've seen various style guides be pretty explicit about never showing real animals in any capacity, and that their roles are filled by Pokemon in the Pokemon world, a world that they only really started to establish around gen 2-4 when pokemon started to become replacement animals in the world rather than essentially cryptids like they were in gen 1.
The same goes for real world locations. Gen 1 takes place in the kanto region, which is a real place, other locations around the world were also given the names of real places. As they better established the worldbuilding of the franchise, they decided that it takes place in a sort of alt-earth, where the geography is vaguely similar but place names and histories are vastly different, so they retconned out these direct references to better fit the new world they've established.

Not sure why this concept is so hard for some people to understand, unless they're really die-hard for generation 1 and original pokemania and don't like the idea that some of that was retconned.
>>
>>56700872
The real world locations weren’t retconned until gen 5. RSE even had a new entry for Delibird that mentions Mt Everest and then ORAS retcons it to the world’s tallest mountain.
>>
>>56700774
Most likely Pokémon has plans for a California based region. Lt. Surge has the shades and frosted tips of a Californian.
