so we can assume that Generation 1 was in Japan? right? that explains the influx of new pokemon in their universe because each generation takes place in other areas of the world? assuming they are on Earth?

Kanto = Kanto region (Japan)
Johto = Chubu region (Japan)
Hoenn = Kyushu (Japan)
Sinnoh = Hokkaido (Japan)
Unova = New York (USA)
Kalos = France (France)
Alola = Hawaii (USA)

I think the Rangers games are also set in zoomed-in parts of Japan, and Orre is veeery loosely based on Arizona.

I think somebody posted a picture showing that the Ranger region resembles the tail end of Hokkaido, meaning they take place near Sinnoh.

Considering that Japan has absolutely no unique wildlife, it would stand to reason that either its pokemon are very successful at invading and colonizing other lands. On the other hand, it could also mean that all of the indigenous Japanese pokemon are extinct. This begs the question, what did Japan DO?

Johto is Kansai. Both Kanto and Johto contain parts of Chubu. Johto also has part of Shikoku (Cianwood).

It's both, Chubu is the eastern part of Johto while Kansai includes Goldenrod and everything west of there up to Cianwood. I think Kyoto is either on the border between the two regions or on the eastern edge of Kansai, not quite sure where the boundary is there.

That's what I get for posting after a double shift.

So Chubu is Cherrygrove (Nagoya), Blackthorn, Mt. Silver, Pallet, Viridian, and Pewter, with the rest of Johto (Barring Cianwood) as Kansai and the rest of Kanto is Kanto.

Probably because they were set on making a Kansai region, and once they figured they wanted to link back to Kanto completely (and include Mt. Fuji as endgame), Chubu just got fully absorbed into the KanJoh area.

What's really weird is how small and non-descript Cherrygrove is for being based on fucking Nagoya. Having visited Nagoya it would have made a fantastic place to visit in the Pokemon games, but I guess it'd be too similar to Goldenrod and not as culturally significant as Violet and Ecruteak, plus early game filler town.

Would have been great to see a shrine or a castle though.

In a perfect world, pic related would be the next region.
That would put this whole sequence of 4 games in the western world
and the first four all in Japan.
And if they continue producing similar games after SM,
which they probably will,
I hope they move to the southern hemisphere.
That would let them go to South America finally,
and Australia
and two others.
Maybe Singapore and New Zealand.

Fiore (Ranger 1) is sorta generic and doesn't really seem to be based on anywhere in particular. Could be located on the south end of central Sinnoh, northeast of Almia, but that would mean it's pretty small of an area.
Almia (Ranger 2) is the south/southwest tip of Hokkaido (Sinnoh) and the far northern tip of Honshu.
Oblivia (Ranger 3) is just a few generic tropical-ish islands.

probably either the Pokemon center right outside Mt. Moon or the Mt. Moon Summit area from Gen 2. It's weird because it's a "town" and Diglett's cave is already on the map.

That doesn't make much sense. The pokèmon center is next to the entrance, and the summit isn't in that direction.
Maybe it's that C area in the early kanto concept art?

It's a pretty diverse place. It's got plains, mountains, swamps, forests, a.s.f. It's perfect for a pokeregion. I think a great post-game would be unlocking a train to a small chunk of the next gen's region, which would be cascadia.

Dunno, it had to be added by whoever made the map so they could have put it there for any number of reasons, even by accident.

Or because of that dumb "Shaymin's rock in Kanto has to be near Mt. Moon" theory that was everywhere until HG/SS squashed it.
