Hey guys, Kriffix here.
Thanks to Ozy for passing this on to me.
This is the PokemonPia Magazine that will give people the chance to catch one of the original 3 starters with alternate abilities. Now that we can see the cover in higher quality, it is now possible to make out that it says “The adventure’s setting is New York!?” which suggests that on the inside there will be more details upon purchasing and reading.
Though the “?” means that its not stated explicitly, being an official magazine this makes it as good as confirmed. Can you honestly see it going any other way if this is on the front?
This comes as no shock, many of us were able to figure it out ages ago!
FIRST COMMENT! >:D
take that universe!! >:D
good for you 😀
hmmm……so its confirmed now?
not exactly..but like kriff said, it pretty much is as good as confirmed. xD
With this i’d say its 99.999999999999999999999999999%
Yay proof. Maybe. XD Glad it’s not Hong Kong.
rest assured. Since this is on the front I couldn’t imagine opening it and it saying
“LOLZ JOKinG iTS tEh CHINAZ!” xD
Haha, the sad thing is I could see that happening.
too much internetz for you! xD
Meh.
“meh.” ? O.o
Meh.
It’s not like it matters where the region is based off, in-game.
True but I figured some people might still like to hear it.
We don’t have people on the inside or games acquired before release like you guys at Serebii. So we just try to work with our strengths, we report all we share all.
いくらどうでもいいことであろうともw
😛 I know. I do my best to tell people what I know and can tell though and so does Serebii. Insider info is not as fun as you’d think it’d be, especially when you can’t tell anyone.

Meh…
Not like it will change the awesomeness of the game.
Now back to the starter evolution discussion. -Insert Trollface
I can’t believe you actually went through the effort of replying in such a noncommittal way.
I’m pretty non-committal in general, though. I dunno. Maybe.
LOL.
I just dont see it lol. I wanted it to be based off shanghai coz i used to live there. 🙁
I think the magazine is talking about the REAL New York, in any moment Isshu is cited, problably the starters event will occur in New York and its all.
Don’t care where it is, gotta catch’em all anywhere!
Anyone see this yet? I found it on Pokexperto’s Twitter. It also corresponds with the “Pokemon” seen in the background of this Pokemon Sunday Image, set to air on the 16th.

wow thats strange. its so weird black and white is released in japan in 12 days and they still dont have it for pre-order on amazon
I am honored to live in the likely setting of the Isshu region c:
Tbh I think this should be taken down before the debate that has like 80 pages on Pokecommunity and probably else where comes here o_o.
It’s probably the magazine’s choice to say that, rather then it being officially from Game Freak.
In fact I am kind of surprised PokeJungle posted this at all :/ Things like this are never truly confirmed and just cause arguments, it’s pointless.
if you go to google maps the west side of isshu is maryland, the middle is delaware and the right side is new jersey. it looks exactly like isshu
The evidence was so overwhelming and people still wanting to debate it being Shanghai is ridiculous. Nice to have some confirmation for them to cry some more about.

pokejungle have you seen the new cat?
Wah, I didn’t even notice that! It’s adorable, it looks like Figaro! <3
Whats this screen from?
The cat looks kinda interesting, although it looks like it has almost the exact same color scheme as Glameow.
it’s from the official tv tokyo site for best wishes
a trailer for Pokemon Sunday
Good! I’m gonna go troll /tr/ now! 😀
Why is a Torchic silhouette on this cover if it’s only the Kanto starters?
Damn… I hope the Americans on the Pokemon forums won’t become even more obnoxious and patriotic because of this. >_>
…No offense to the nice and humble Americans of course.
Yeah, thats the only reason I do not want this.
“nice and humble Americans” O.o Where are they???? (I’m saying this AS an American, before anyone hates.)
Haha, I don’t know. But I felt it was unfair to assume all Americans were annoying, fat patriots. 😛
I used to live in New York 😀
And then I moved to Canada…I wanna go back even though I don’t remember a thing back in New York and that is probably because I was only 5 or 6 at the time…
YAY! My home state!
Well that make sence, Because its supposed to take place very far from Kanto, Sinnoh, Etc.
But anyway,
IN NEW YORK, CONCRETE JUNGLE WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE OF, THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN’T DO, THESE STREETS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BRAND NEW! BIG LIGHTS WILL INSPIRE YOU, LET’S HEAR IT FOR NEW YORK, NEW YORK, NEW YOOOOOOORK(:
You fail in be annoying.
YEAH!!!!! =D
Does this mean there’ll be guns?
I was singing a song 🙁
Ok, you can pretending to live in Isshu, I dont care hunf. u_u
It’s nice to see it’s all but confirmed. I was pretty sure it was supposed to be New York anyways, so I’m not all that surprised.
I too am curious why a Torchic silhouette is there. Another dream world Pokemon with new abilities along with the Kanto starters would seem most likely.
It’s not as good as confirmed as anything. This is journalist speculation.

hahahahNO. The magazine is official.
The only city that resembles NY in my eyes in Hiun City. o_O
Am I missing something?
not the citys but the island itself and the surrounding islands
like sky arrow bridge maybe the brocklyn bridge
I KNEW IT! take that friends of mine who neglected me for my thoughts!!!! But then again, the question mark could be stating that this is their speculation. I dunno!
Eh why would it say that.. the official setting is Isshu, it’s just presumed to be based on New York, why would they say the setting IS New York? O_O
Based on. Based on.
Is =/= based on
日本語読めますでしょうか・・・？
日本で発売されるポケモンぴあですが、掲載されている画像とは表紙が異なります。
実際には、こちら⇒http://www.pokemon-sp.jp/news-sp/2010/08/0827_01.html?SP-inc=hotnewsbox
なので、それは偽者の画像だと思われます。
多分ね。まだ分からない。ありがとうございました！
Miho says that the above picture’s reliability is being questioned since it doesn’t match the cover previously shown.
またガセですか。。。
最近特に多いですよね。
今すぐウェッブマスターにこの情報を伝えます。
教えてくれてありがとうございました。
日本語分かるのですね。
凄いです･･･私も英語が話せればいいのですが･･･
以前、日本の掲示板で関係者を名乗る人が、舞台はマンハッタンを参考にしたと言う人がいました。
ブラックとホワイトで、舞台を回る順番が違っていたら、この話は確定するそうですよ。
とんでもないです。日本語で充分です。わざわざこの情報を教えてくれて本当に感謝しています！
PokeJungleの読者の中には日本人がいるとはですね…正直びっくりしましたw
実は、２chはガセがあんまりにも多くて、ネーティブでもない僕達には判断するのがなかなか難しいんです。
あの関係者を名乗る人の言ったことが本当であれば話がはやいのですね。
これからもよろしくお願いいたします！
Hell yeah, Pokejungle rocks. Eat your heart out Serebii and your crappy site
