>>33396257>China and other Real-World Locations still existThis is what I believe to be true in the games to be honest.
Kanto, Pokenation and Kanto, Japan both exist at the same time and you can travel from one to the other.
Same thing with Unova and New York, and Kalos and France.
Similarly, in an older entry in that Pokemon Daisuki Club that recently gave us Mystery Files, it was revealed that Mew was released on Faraway Island by Fuji, but not found there, so technically it was still discovered in Guyana.
On top of that, everytime you see a globe in the games, it's always 1:1 with the real world.
It would also explain why Looker knows several real-world languages and why multi-lingual phrases were thrown around in Lumiose.
