Talk:Pokémon world in relation to the real world/Featured article candidate

  • I would definitely support this article. It is one of the most interesting on the site, as well as one of the most educational. Showing what each of the place names means is an excellent way to give people from outside of Japan an idea as to how Pokémon gets its names. --- Admachina 14:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
  • This article very much deserves to be a featured article. Trainer-c
  • Great article, but it seems to me that the map is a little off. I think that in the games they compacted a bit more space into Johto, like they did in Sinnoh, and that Cianwood may be the small island between Honshū and Shikoku. Zeyfre
  • I agree with Gazco; I never thought that the Poké world was based on the real one (other than the mentions of Mew being in (?)Brazil and Lt Surge as the "Lightning American", the Poké world never seemed to noticeably attempt to parallel the real one), and I definetely support its being featured.

  • Wow, this article is very popular. I however, noticed that much of this artcile is a large chart. I mean, its very acurate in showing what area correlates with that Japanese city/mountain/geographical formation, but I believe a featured article should have a little more to it. All it has it the place and a little blurb about what it is in Japan. Then it goes on to mention other locations mentioned, but I still think the article is a little, well, trivial. --Mooites Talk to me, baby! 04:12, 28 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
  • It's an interesting idea, but the Comments section of the chart feels very.. empty. I wanted to read more about the details of these places and what makes them so similar to the games, not just the names of the locations! They don't make much effort to fill in the huge number of blank blocks they have in that chart. I'm also not sure that it's anything more than a series of general observations. It's entirely speculative - which is fun, and the accuracy is impressive, but it's still empty and not necessarily 100% factual. Again, I'm only talking about the chart here. The real world references in the Pokedex entries are factual and indeed awesome. Unfortunately that doesn't make up for the bulk of the article.. -- Cayh
