Ever wondered where they got the maps for Pokemon?

[Dude]

Wow...

[Davey]

Is that supposed to be Japan? 

Also, I never knew they were even linked like that. o_O;

[Palagerini]

lol.. just lol.. i wondered if the routes and cities are in the places where those routes and cities are... =P. *flys to japan to catch gastlys*

The names of the Regions actually correspond with where they are. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, etc. They are actually directions. I believe Kanto means East, Johto West, Hoenn North, etc.

[Dude]

...Hoenn is on the bottom. It's just sideways. So wouldn't it be south?

At this map we can see better how is every region of the game. The regions are bassed on Japan areas.
