[[File:RegionsMoviesMap.jpg|thumb|Anime map of regions]]

This is the type of map you are using as evidence for Hoenn's location. Notice the clouds separating Hoenn and Sinnoh, which have always been used to indicate that the positions are not relevant. If the positions on maps like these were important, then Sinnoh would not be in the east, but in the north, as we do have confirmation that Sinnoh is north of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn. Clearly the positions of the cloud-separated regions on these maps is for convenience, not actually indicating their position. The real-world Japan argument falls down for three reasons: 1) anime maps put Hoenn southwest-west (close to entirely west) of Johto, while in the real world Kyushu is much closer to southwest 2) Hoenn is rotated 90 degrees from Kyushu, and due to in-game dialogue indicating [[Ever Grande City]] is in the east and [[Southern Island]] being, well, south, Hoenn's cardinal directions cannot be compared to the real world 3) the whole point of putting the direction of one region to another in the articles is because we are NOT assuming that they are relative to each other in the same way as their real-world counterparts. Embedded Tower is not enough to support the position of the region on its own, as while you can assume that the people of Hoenn would build the tower at the point of the region closest to their home region, we have never been told this. Unless there is some actual evidence that Hoenn is southwest of Johto, please do not add it back to the article again. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 06:41, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
