>>54847416I imagine it as something that can't be put on a map since they add new places avery few years. Most of the map makers always try to fit and connect everything when it doesn't really make sense since there are always going to be parts of the world that we don't see.
But yes, i imagine the places that are supposed to be parts of japan to be close to each other, same goes with the europe regions and so on.
Also i don't consider the anime exclusive locationx, the gacha shit and most of the spin offs to be canon (a lot of the times the games straight up tells you they are set in another world).
So the way i see it is more like an equivalent to the real world of which we haven't seen all but also that doesn't need to be 1:1 to the real thing. So for me it goes like this:
>Japan so farKanto and the Sevii Island
Johto
Hoenn
Sinnoh
whatever region Kitakami is located in, assuming its not considered a region on itself
Fiore
Almia
Oblivia
>Europe so far:Kalos
Galar
Paldea
>US so far:Orre
Unova
and Alola being distant just like the irl inspiration
>Miscellanus/UnknownFerrum (Japan?)
Lental and Pokemon Island
White City
Peketopia
the region in which Ryme City is located (US?)
