Question:

Are you sure that "One Island" is equivalent to "Knot Island"? For instance, when I think of "One Island", I think of the town that's in the Knot Island system; that's the name of the town only, because when you enter the town it says "One Island", when you select it for Flying it says "One Island", etc. But when I think of "Knot Island", I think of collectively not just One Island, but the "routes" that are "attached" to it: Treasure Beach, Kindle Road, Mt. Ember, and perhaps Ember Spa.

So, should the standard be that "One Island" be equivalent to "Knot Island", "Two Island" be equivalent to "Boon Island", and so on? It's definite that One Island, Two Island, etc. are meant to be the names of the towns, not the islands. So should Knot Island, etc. represent the towns also, or also the routes that are attached to it?

Answer: I was pretty sure that the town and the island were considered one and the same. That is that the town was named after the island and that each island had two names - a regular name and a number to denote which order the islands are in.

The towns aren't exactly gigantic places in the first place. They're typically a Pokemon Center and one or two houses of little interest.

I mean, Pokemon has already established this in the past. You don't have Cinnabar Island and Cinnabar Town. You just have . . . Cinnabar Island. Which denotes both the settlement on the island and the island itself.

There's never been any other reason for me to believe it wasn't so with the Sevii Islands as well.
