2 cool pokemon facts! a fan must read!

1. gold/silver/crystal music was fan made.
2. take the maps from all the pokemon series (when they are done) and you can make the map of japan! an example? diamond/pearls map is part of the top right of japan!

 

That would explain why there's a lot of ocean. Entirely too much ocean.

And: source please?

 

hes right ot a sertain extent. Its not exact but close.... the top is poke/jap bottomn is jap





Google is my sourse, and I think the un-named one is either from rangers or mystery dungeon....

 

O.O


Wow, just wow.

 

The unnamed map is indeed from Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team (I know it well...). If I recall correctly, Ranger (the first one at least) took place on a tiny little island, so that might be that little orphaned island apart from the main body of Japan, or the the smaller island that's part of the Chubu area...

Now - how do Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness and the second Ranger title fit into the conspir - I mean map? And I love how perfectly Hoenn fits the southern island...

 

no clue about the maps from the other series...i was talking about the regular rpg series. and diamond/pearl are a partial, not the whole right side!

 

Total coincidence? I'd like to think not. Thanks to the OP for making me realize something .

 

Really guys...

Didn't the Japanese sounding area names ever tip you off?

Kanto, Johto, Hoenn & Sinnoh?

Actually the first one was a very big tip off for me.

The first trivia is a bit surprising about fans providing the game music, but nothing new. That seems particular to Japan, game publishers making fans contribute to making a game. Have you guys ever played & finished Megaman 8 for the PSOne? At the Credits, the game presents you the fan submitted designs for the game's boss robots.

 

Well ofcoars it will sound jap. What do you expect them to call the place, Manila??

 

Whoa.
Pokemon creators.
Wow.
I wonder; Do the maps from the Pokemon Anime series fit in?

 

Wow. That's really cool!

 

@kirbster: No, but they could have used fancy area names, just like what they did with the towns. Or here's an idea, when the North American & European versions were made, they should have altered the game's map to show a part of Europe or a state in America as the Area map, that way this trivia thing would be even more unique.

 

Many sequels later and they will have to use another country...

 

One of them is mentioned in Death Note, I believe, so yeah, I had figured that out.

But about the fan made music, that's interesting.

 

I have to admit, the game is fun and its a great RPG, but I find Pokemon as a whole (TV shows, merch etc.) as a little extreme. Don't really see the big deal and why people are so interested in it.

 

never knew that lol.... nice facts!

 

Haha....LOL

 

its kindd old news to me, back then they have a topic in serebii forum.

 

wow cool, never knew that

 

All pokemon names are similar to real things ,names and places.

Hitmonchan - Jackie Chan
Hitmonlee - Bruce Lee

Squirtle: Squirting Turtle
Charizard: Charming Lizard


and I read somewhere that the creator of Pokemon had a snake... Wanna guess its name?

ARBOK!
