This thread is less funny than McBain standing in front of a brick wall for three and a half hours.

And Pok Gai means 'bastard', everyone knows that.

maybe if you simply added the "nese" at the end the confusion wouldn't reign...

or maybe we'll have sarcastic bastards no matter what we write...

Kanto 　関東 , is actually the region surrounding Tokyo , Ueno and Chiba regions , Johto also is a neighbouring region harbouring Wakayama prefecture and Osaka.

Pokemon is as Japanese as you can get icon_razz.gif

Fazza, just one correction from what I already know.
small horse = xiao ni
small = xiao
horse = ni

then again, depending on how you say "ni" it could also mean "mother, flax, or another word relating to ugly"

yup, that's 6 months of chinese for you icon_lol.gif

Not just Kanto and Johto, but almost every location used in Pokémon roughly mirrors some location in real-world Japan. Click the link for a massive list. icon_smile.gif

I noticed that just last week too. Kanto region is all around the south coast of Asia, while Johto is situated around India. Orange archipaeligo, where else south of Kanto? Papua New Guinea! And yeah, ruby and sapphire is just an enlarged version of the whole of Asia. Take a look for yourself if you think i'm wrong!

Yeesh... I said "in real-world Japan". Not Asia in general or India, Japan.
"Ruby and Sapphire", by which you mean "Hoenn", is Kyushu rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise. Johto is based on Kansai and Kanto is modelled after... guess what... Kanto. icon_razz.gif
