No. He's from America. Just like Poliwrath swims through the Pacific Ocean according to X's Pokedex entry.

He's referred to in BW2 as "The Lightning Unovan". It's a retcon.

This is probably true.

Orre is also probably in America, as Arizona.

Dear /vp/,
The references to real world locations are isolated to early Gens. When the franchise exploded onto the scene, gathering a whole new variety of [spolier]clearly immersive[/spoiler:lit]fans, GF retconned everything to be set in it's own world. Lt. Surge therefore is now Unovan, as is stated in the canon series.

It's not.
>In the Pokémon World Tournament, the man who describes all of the World Leaders questions if Lt. Surge is from Unova. This is probably because Lt. Surge is from America, and the Unova region is based off of New York City, USA.

That's it.
Besides, what does it matter? It's geographically the same world, we've known that for years, they just call places by different names.

There is one NPC who wonders if Lt. Surge is unovan in the PWT (I cannot find it anywhere, but it's in the PWT, right hand from the entrance, talk to him and he will give descriptions of every important trainer you've faced). Stop asking for sources when you've got the fucking games.

Unova is east of Orre and the two comprise a rough America surrogate just as Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh comprise an approximation of Japan. You could cram it onto a world map and have a relatively accurate world map pretending Africa and mainland Asia don't exist.

Pretty sure there are Russia and South America counterparts too, since they were referenced, and hell there's a Tourist in Kalos who speaks German. I'd say it's the same world in a different reality.

Personally I want the Russia region because maybe if they made that they'd make Ice types less shit.

Actually, he's the son of an ex Poké-nazi that left Poké-Germany before the end of the war and that embraced the Unovan Way of Life.

Yeah, Orre doesn't look anything like Texas.

Kanto and Johto are actual regions in Japan. Hoenn is based on the island Kumamoto. Shinnoh is Hokkaido. Unova is NYC. Kalos is France. All clearly look like their respective geographic areas.

Orre looks nothing like Texas.

I was hoping a shot from a cutscene in game would give more clarity, but it's still pretty ambiguous, shit. Definitely looks like France though.
