>>56063933>Pokeworld was always meant to be EarthDoesn't line up based off what we've been told in-game. LiarMakerToby got it mostly right, with Hoenn's placement being the most uncertain. All we know about Hoenn is that it's south of hoenn and southwest of Kanto/Johto, so it's probably where he put the dick of Africa.
That said, the amount of times the actual geography is referenced in-game is so few and far between that you could get away with anything. It's obvious Gamefreak doesn't care too much about it, so neither should anyone else.
