>Even if they were next to each other, it's open ocean. It would literally have to be an English Channel equivalent for someone to be able to cross it.again, you yourself refused to acknowledge the scaling of how regions are still regions regardless of if their inspirations are cities or nations. this would be irrelevant in the pokemon world. the swimming happened, and Hoenn and Kalos are nearby. real people have swum farther than the English channel, by the way
>the point is that your statement doesn't imply distancethis is what happens when you misquote. you clearly don't understand what was pointed out. a connection in the pokeworld rarely needs more than one vehicle. when was the last time ash actually had to plan how to get somewhere in an extensive way? It's always just a train, or a plane, or any ONE way of getting there. By placing sycamore's document there, they knew they did it to show that he came from sinnoh the way we're meant to believe that he did: by train.
>Except one is located in the north atlantic and the other the north pacific.Again, don't refer to the real world. there is no in gm=ame evidence that shows they are that far, rather, the cave shows that they are near. Wormholes be damned; there's no evidence.
>Except what they're based on, which is quite good evidence.Again, that is not evidence. Yes, locations in the region and the shape of the region itself might be INSPIRED by a real world country, but that in no way confirms the location of regions in relation TO EACH OTHER, as you have stupidly assumed up to this point as "default".
>I was talking about the pictured.Um, I'm sorry, I guess? still doesn't change that regions are NOT just real world places being copy and pasted. Where's real mount coronet? Where are the NYC Deserts and Mountains? Where are the other Hawaiian islands? Far? We would know them. Alolans know about Kanto, which is far, but they're unaware of several parts of their own region? They do not exist,
