I'd be more likely to ask "why is there a mountain and a Japanese shrine".

Don't forget the desert wasteland with the random Mexican town in it right in the heart of Manhattan.

Well if you’re a Manhattanfag like me, never venture south of the ESB. Works well enough for me. Unless you go to school at Stuy or work above ground down there. Then you’re fucked.

El Barrio? Gay shit. Some of those bodegas have sick tacos tho. If we’re talking out of the way places with great cheap eats, in the Rockaway areas still recovering from Sandy, there are some pretty great Jamaican, Pizza, etc. restaurants.

In the Pokemon timelime, the Nazis and Japs won World War 2 and the Japs occupied USA hence the shrines. This also in turn influenced Japan to become more westernized as well.

It's pretty dumb, especially putting a second N.Y. in.
Why did they even do that?

There's also European bridges and the tokyo imperial palace.

Hey retard, believe it or not, the regions don't have to be 100% accurate to the area they represent. There's no giant mountain dividing Hokkaido in two and there's no city inside of a crater or a giant tower in the middle of the ocean in Kyushu.

No, but if it isn't accurate enough then why pretend you based it on that?

go look at any recent region map
even the GB era maps resembled the regions they were based on better than Unova

Of course the GB era maps represented the regions better than Unova. In gen 1 and 2 the games were meant to be based in the real world.

Hence references to Russia, South America, Indian elephants etc.

People don't get that unova unlike isn't meant to be america, it was slightly based on it.
Literally every other modern region you can tell what it's based on
>alola is clearly an interpretation of hawaii
>kalos is clearly an interpretation of france
But not having a clear basis isn't a bad thing, too bad unova turned out to be shitty.
