Hashiriya
Street racers, known natively as hashiriya (Japanese: 走り屋 Hashiri-ya), [1] often occur on expressways and highways, where they are known as kōsoku battle (高速バトル, literally "high-speed battle") or commonly known as Roulette-zoku as they drive round and round in circular motions[1] and frequently occur on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo, real-life Kanto region. Japanese racers have also popularized racing along the narrow winding roads of the mountains of the country, known as Touge. (potrayed in SS and Over Rev!, both were published by Shōgakukan)
The most notorious group to be associated with street racing was the Mid Night Club who gave street racing worldwide attention with its 300km/h antics. It was known for its high standards and organization until they were disbanded in 1999 following a fatal accident involving a group of Bōsōzoku. The expressway racing scene is portrayed in the manga Wangan Midnight (formerly serialized in a manga magazine of Shōgakukan for short periods before moving out), as well as in the movie series Shuto Kousoku Trial.
With heavier punishments, patrolling police cars, crackdowns in meeting areas and the installation of speed cameras, expressway racing in Japan is not as common today as it was during the 1980s and the 1990s. Still, it occurs on a not-so-regular basis. Persistent racers often install spring assisted license-plate swivelling mechanisms that hold plates down at speed or picture-proof screens over their plates. In 2001, the amount of hashiriya dropped from 9,624 (in 1995) to 4,365 and police arrests in areas where hashiriya gather are common. Cars are checked for illegal modification and if found, owners are fined and forced to remove the offending modifications.
One of the causes of street racing in Japan is that, despite the numerous and famous race circuits, they can become overcrowded.Furthermore, such circuits may cost as much as ¥20,000 to race,[1] while a highway toll may cost less than ¥1,000.[1]
As in other countries, street racing also occurs on long straights in industrial areas, which are used for drag races, known natively as Zero-Yon (ゼロヨン) for "0-400" (meters; in America, racing to a quarter-mile, 1320 feet, or 402 meters, is the norm), Yon is Japanese for "4". This practice gave its name to a popular video game franchise of the 1990s, Zero4 Champ series.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire remake speculation
Possible hints of a remake
- In Black and White, a Backpacker in the Resort Desert mentions that he is from the Hoenn region.
- Guests in the middle house in Undella Town (at least in the summer) also mention the Hoenn region.
- In the first Diamond & Pearl special, Dawn decides to travel to Hoenn to compete in Pokémon Contests there, much like May traveled to Johto for the same reason after the end of the Advanced Generation series.
- On October 29, 2011, Pokémon Center stores release new Pokémon Time merchandise featuring Generation III Pokémon.
- On January 20, 2012, Rayquaza, the version mascot for Pokémon Emerald, is chosen as the winner of Pokémon.co.jp's 15th Anniversary poll.
- Advanced Generation episodes aired on Pokémon Smash! to date (Japanese title for each episodes aired):
- Enter Manene! Mansion of Rest! on Episode 2 (Oct. 10, 2010)

Reasons
- While the original DS can play the Generation III games, the DSi and 3DS do not. A Nintendo DS or 3DS remake would make Ruby and Sapphire playable on these newer systems.
Other speculations
- The Ranse region, introduced in Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition, may be located around Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Almia regions, if based in real-life Japan.
- The story for the Pokémon RéBURST manga would be set in the 22nd-century of Kanto region, as suggested by the usage of Burst Hearts. Burst Hearts are more technologically advanced than Poké Balls, and at that time (22nd-century), Poké Balls are out of stock due to shortage of supply. Because of this, Burst Hearts serve as a replacement for Poké Balls.
- Out of all Japanese Pokémon Center stores, if based in real-life Japan, two of them are located in Kanto region, and another two located in Johto region, one in Hoenn region and one in Sinnoh region. The last one (excluded above) out of these Japanese stores are not belonging to any Pokémon region.
