>>49581525Ruins of Alph are in Johto (Kansai). Although in the Spaceworld beta, the equivalent ruins were in the south, in the equivalent of Kyushu which Hoenn was later based on instead. There was a theory at that time that the Unown markings on the walls may have took inspiration from the "shadows" of people scorched by the atomic bombs, pic related. Personally I think it's a stretch though.
