How'd Joseph make this anyway?
>>57165019>Acknowledging Orre and the Ranger trilogy Merrick used to be based?
it takes a certain amount of brazen retardation to make a pokemon map that isn't based on earth.You will be worked against on every step of the way down your path of stupidity.
>>57165098I respect a fool more than a man who does nothing. Others can learn from a fool.
fun fact they actually put this map in orasmerricku didnt get mad he was instead honoured game freak chose his art to be in the game
>>57165309>Implying Joe didn't receive it from GFDebunked
>>57165309if you followed the ppg threads you'd know they stole it from planet minecraft, who stole it from joe
>>57165405thats even funnier mistah merricku thinks gamu freak admires him
>>57165098Even then, it's not like every region matches up perfectly. All of them are distorted to hell and back. It's not until Gen 6/Kalos that there is some semblance of correction in that department.
>>57165019Just an asspull.Sinnoh not being the most Polar region on that map is retarded.
>>57165098There's literally no proof the Pokémon World is even geographically similar to Earth. Sure, most areas are inspired by real world locations, but that, in no way implies where they actually are. Like just because Spain and France border each other irl doesn't mean Paldea and Kalos do (though I'm pretty sure this example is at least somewhat canon.)
>>57165405What's planet minecraft? Is there a post on that site that it was taken from?
>>57166536There's nothing to believe that they aren't exactly where they are in the real world, other than generalized placement and some distortion with the maps. Kanto/Johto are side by side, Sinnoh is said to be north of that, which all lines up with Japan, Kitakami is across the sea from Sinnoh, which also lines up with that, Galar, Kalos, and Paldea are all pretty much exactly where they are. The only exception to this is however Sinjoh Ruins works with Unova/Sinnoh, which could just be some hollow Earth supernatural shit, or easily retconned. The original map for Masters was Italy too that was basically spot on.
And easy fix to the National Dex issue would have been to call it the Global Dex from Gen 5 onward.
>>57166554But what about Hoenn? There's nothing that mentions where it's placed. There's also nothing ingame stating that Kalos, Galar and Paldea are where they are. I can maybe see Paldea and Kalos being next to each other, but it's not exactly confirmed. I also don't understand the hollow earth theory.
The places are likely the same, but to say they are exact proximations is a bit much, especially since we don't know the exact time period in which the games take place. This could be the Year 5000 AD for all we know and humanity has stagnated or regressed at various points with technology and Pokemon present, along with wars. Take a look at Kanto for instance, this is what Kanto actually is in relation to its real life locations. It's vastly bigger than anything we ever get to play and see, with considerable distance in between these places in reality. While you can still tell that it's obviously Kanto, you call into question how far apart said things are and your own interpretation of it. Every region is like that, granted it's less like that from Gen 6 onward (with the exception of Kitakami). In reality these places are absolutely massive and we're basically playing what an 11-14 year old envisions the map and world to be like. They have no car for Police Stations, Hospitals, etc. because it isn't on their mind, just as the distance isn't on their mind, Pewter and Viridian are close enough, so they must be right by each other. And if you don't want to go that way, clearly they aren't 1:1 or some cities have fallen or been abandoned over the years, or were never built in this Universe in the first place.
To all the realworldfags, Kalos and Hoenn are said to be close to each other by a swimmer who swims between them in ORAS.
>>57166759That dude is just a peak specimen clearly.
>>57166759That does make sense. Why'd they swim halfway across the world?Though they could also be exaggerating.
