So, with the new legends there's a neat way we can take a guess at some of the time frame. Although it's largely aesthetic and hard to gauge the intended historical parallels of, the not-Eiffel Tower at the center of the city could presumably have been completed in the late 1880s like the real thing. Interestingly that places it pretty concurrent to the construction of the Hokkaido Government building in the 1870s that served as the basis of the Galaxy Team HQ in the first Legends game.

But with the keywords being "urban redevelopment" the setting could only possibly be Haussman's renovation of Paris that took place from the 1850s-1920s. So given that the tower is already standing, that places Legends Z-A between 1889 and 1927.

And I doubt it would play into the setting of a Pokemon game but I think it's neat that it would mean taking place firmly in the 3rd French Republic, as that's not typically the most romanticized period of French history. (Kind of shocking given just how much Japanese pop culture loves to fixate on the Ancien Regime and Rococco architecture.) It's right at the height of the French Colonial empire and their rivalry with the British... Even if they don't address the history directly, certainly not the darker bits, I wonder if we'll see an ancestor of Rose* and some mention of Kalos and Galar's relation as a hint at the Pokemon world's equivalent of India. (Elephant, what elephant...)

*put a pin in that... Well come back to Rose later...

Also I know a lot of the stupid "leaks" that were just running with any/every rumor they could find had been talking about Celebi, despite there being no signs of it in the direct, but it's possible that the Z-A title and the fadethru of the sort of sci-fi looking city diagram into a pencil and parchment one is indicating going back in time --backwards, from Z to A, end to start.

and just so long as I'm just picking at edges of things...

The unknown are an anagram of, "POKEMON PRESENTS"(oh and the SOEYUE one at the end is just "SEE YOU") and the ""confidential"" stamp on the documents likely reads "Gokuhi" as in gokuhi[極秘]: "Top Secret," but the rest of the text doesn't seem to match either Japanese, French, or English,

Hito to POKEMON no kyouzon o yumemite[人と ポケモンの共存を夢見て]: "Dreaming of people and Pokemon's coexistence" Toshisaikaibatsu hassou MIARE CITY[都市再開発発想ミアレシティ]: "Urban Redevelopment Concept Miare City"

The obvious exception being that redacted text is clearly the romanized MIARE from the Japanese MIARE[ミアレ] and the English CITY, which is the Japanese name for what was localized as "Lumiose."

Curiously the word "Pokemon" is very clearly missing from the passage, and also in both cases there are too few "Galarian" characters for how long the phrases are in any actual language.

and finally, given some of the existing examples of handwritten Galarian in SwSh, I'm guessing the text on the big logo is as i've transcribed into the more standard Galar font, although I'm really uncertain about that second one, and a bit iffy about the big "X"s, but the little cyclone O, the V with the underbar, and the E seem certain enough.

Also there's a logo I know I remember seeing that looks like this one but I can't remember where it is or what it's associated with.... It's the logo on the Macro Cosmos power plant. Not Rose's personal logo with the stylized rose, and not the Cosmos business logo with the big star system orbital ring Cs, but the power plant in Hammerlock where you go to fight Eternatus specifically.

It would be really neat if whatever this organization is was tied back to an ancestor of Rose and Peony and the origins of Macro Cosmos somehow.

I've been using this map as my imagined visual of the Japanese Pokemon regions. (Kitakami is an actual real world city located south of "Sinnoh" aka Hokkaido! Actually there's a whole mountain range in that area known as the Kitakami Mountains)

Mossdeep City, the location of the Space Center is actually 1:1 where Japan's Space Center is, not kidding. A bit weird, right? While in the games, we think as Mossdeep being East of Mt. Chimney, but it's actually South of it when oriented the correct way.

Whether regions do make up an entire country when put together is not confirmed, there might not be a typical government that we see IRL, but regions that are very close to one another probably have unity in very similar cultural identities.

Anabel in my verse is Japanese, and I'm wondering about the the idea that she is Kanto born and her parents have business HQs in Kanto (Celadon City is where Tokyo City should be! Gosh, but every city in Kanto looks so small even in remakes! They need to fix this because Celadon is LITERALLY TOKYO i should know i went there) -- and while Anabel is Kanto born, she spent the majority of her life in Hoenn or at least near Hoenn with her grandparents/extended family.

Looker in my verse is European, but he speaks in a distinctly American accent... Wondering if perhaps he was born in a region equivalent to Germany or whatnot and spent a lot of time acclimating to America? Or he's only ever grown up European and he just developed an American accent for hiding identity purposes... Also! Kalos does have two regions! North and South. The mountains that border Paldea are primarily belonging to Southern Kalos. (Just wait until Legends Z-A destroys this with a random line of dialogue or random map asset.)

EDIT: The Legendary Beasts and the Kanto Birds are migratory and have been spotted all over the place! It's interesting to note that Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres go north as Professor Oak said "it is part of their migration," possibly implying they are a Japanese species. Legendary Beasts can appear in Kanto! (Don't hunt for them, FRLG Beasts have three IVs set to 0 due to a glitch they're practically useless) and additionally, Regirock/Regice/Registeel seem to have units in Sinnoh, though another Regigigas can be encountered in Hoenn. Perhaps Wherever there is a Regigigas present, there will be Regi Pokemon somewhere buried in the area?

#/The Sevii Islands or the Izu Islands too are right under Kanto LMAO

Some small insights on things I commonly saw in Japan - nerd edition:

Not one day passed that I didn’t see at least one person with some sort of Kirby charm or keychain or sticker or somesuch on their person or backpacks. Not even in “nerdy” places, this extends to Everywhere.

You’ve likely heard this already, but Akihabara as “weeb mecca” is pretty old news and not the case anymore. You can definitely find some kickass stores there (my favorites were Mandarake and Super Potato!), but otherwise it’s pretty Just Below Surface Level mainstream nerd culture shops now, that is to say, everything is Spy x Family (dear god Anya is fucking everywhere), Kimetsu no Yaiba, One Piece, Quintuplets, Genshin, FGO, Uma Musume, Vtubers, some Bocchi, and Kaguya-sama. Mind you, I don’t dislike most of these things, but it’s literally all that is there, alongside gunpla stuff.

Den Den Town and Nakano Broadway were way fucking better for nerdy stuff. Props to Rinka for the heads up.

Sunshine City was also pretty good for nerdy stuff but with a way more focused scope: You have a Pokemon Center + Cafe there, One Piece store, Bandai Cross Store, the works.

Holy fuck they were not exaggerating, gachapon is absolutely everywhere. The Cross Store even had “Luxury Gacha” or “Premium Gacha”, can’t remember what the exact word was, that were in some cases 1500 yen a pop (for a pretty cool fucking figure though, not gonna lie).

There is gachapon of absolutely fucking anything in the world that you can think of. No, even more than what you’re currently thinking of. Stray musical notes, tools like hammers, bozosoku jackets, Nintama Rantaro, that one meme construction cat, miniature nail clippers, literally such a massive amount of sundry variety. I was humbled.

I’m kind of fucking sick of Anya Spy x Family. Literally everywhere.

I didn’t know there were stores where people can rent a little cube and sell their figures and other nerdy stuff like that. That’s such a cool concept, a little nerd-to-nerd market. Imagine you’re trading in TF2 except instead of giving someone keys for their hat, you give someone a big titty One Piece character, I don’t know the name of any, sorry, as a trade for a big titty Vtuber.

Among the stuff you could see occasionally in stores? Sakamoto Days. That made me so fucking happy.

I met 4 honest to god monks in the wild and I really wish I was fluent in Japanese, I wanted to talk to them so so so bad.

Even older nerds do NOT know VOTOMS. Every old school nerd I met in nerd bars and other such places knew Dunbine and Kinnikuman but I met literally no one that knew VOTOMS. They pulled out their phone, every time, looked it up, looked at me with that certified Japanese polite but obviously flabbergasted expression with a tinge of lemon and horror, and asked me, “how do YOU know of this?? it’s SO OLD” and I did not have the heart to tell them a 4chan dude mailed me VHS tapes with the show subbed back in 1937.

It feels so wild that Thousand Year Door is remastered, bc it feels like the only mario game that wouldn't fly today. Heck the original English release had to be censored from the Japanese version

Like you have, off the top of my head:

a noose in the center of Rogueport

Casino. With gambling rip pokemon game corners btw. That is managed by Boos in cat versions of the playboy bunny outfit or were bunny outfits in the japanese version

There's a segment where you play as a naked Peach. She's invisible, but naked nonetheless.

if I remember, at the beginning of the game, you see a small gang fight between the Piantas and whatever the other gang was

Dragon with a foot fetish. Who eats half the audience.

Skeletal Pirate. Who eats half the audience's souls.

Kids talking about eating their mom after she was turned into a pig

There's definitely more weird crap, but like, it's a weird mario game.

Still curious how the Pianta Parlor will be handled in the remaster. Like, it's an important location for the story, but at the same time gambling doesn't fly in games anymore.

Traveling while chronically ill means that not everything goes as planned. I had to cut my traveling time to 1 week from two, and now I had to cancel the planned trip to Kumano temple... I've got 4 different medicine with me and I still felt like croaking yesterday. I'm better today but not in a way that I can be on a constant move for literally the whole weekend, except for the night.

Friends left there and the house is mine till Monday.

While in theory I love car rides, Japanese nature and temples, in reality I'm too sick to go. I do partly blame the hormonal medication which I had for a while.

I hope that if I sleep, eat, take baths and watch anime over the weekend, I'll be in a good enough health to visit central area stores and Pokemon center next week.

And, if not, then this trip was meant just to hang around the neighborhood and the house. To eat local ice cream and cake, and take long baths (because I only get to use a bathtub in Japan) :3

#niu trips #this year of Rabbit was supposed to ve gentle and easy but I apparently faced like Joon ir something lolol 😭

wishing western enjoyers of japanese media a very "use critical thought when engaging with media from cultures you are not native to"

this is about westerners not thinking about the fact that volo is indigenous coded and a lot of the context/aesthetic of the hisui natives is rooted in inspiration from ainu people/history.

this is about westerners not thinking about these things when making the Choice to depict volo being a purely manipulative pokemon-satan summoning girlboss, being entirely self centered in his motivations, and/or getting beat up by american coded subway bosses.

like, please think about the fact that you're choosing to take an indigenous coded man with implied cultural/religious trauma and turning him into a sexyman villain and/or cathartic punching bag for contextual foreigners.

#i am saying this as a submas fan. THINK FOR FIVE SECONDS before making character takes about volo #the hisui natives being ainu/indigenous coded needs to be kept in mind when making fan content decisions about them! #as a person with taiwanese indigenous family. Please Just Think About The Ainu Coding #pokemon #pokemon legends arceus #pl:a #pl:a spoilers #pokemon volo #volo legends arceus #aenor-llelo

flag id: a flag with 5 stripes. the top and bottom stripe are concave, shaped like they are framing an oval that is much wider than the flag itself, and the first, third, and fifth stripes are smaller than the rest. they are near-black, red, near-black, off-white, and near-black. end id.

banner id: a 1600x200 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting. those on my / dni may still use my terms, so do not recoin them.’ in large white text in the center. the text takes up two lines, split at the slash. end id.

typesei: an identity best described by being a type from the 'pokemon' series and that type's characteristics — moves, traits of pokemon who share that type, associated colors and visual features, etc.

[pt: typesei: an identity best described by being a type from the 'pokemon' series and that type's characteristics — moves, traits of pokemon who share that type, associated colors and visual features, etc. end pt]

this is a similar concept to gemhede, but for pokemon types! the term is 'type' + 'sei', the romanized form of japanese '性', which is a suffix similar to english '-ness' (added to an adjective to form a noun meaning 'the state of being [adjective]')

this is based on how a pokemon's type is an important personal identity as well as a larger group they're a part of (similar to how we as humans categorize ourselves by things like gender). typeseis can be used as alterhuman identities or in a similar way to other non-gender and non-orientation liom terms like perspesque, vior, vesil, etc.!

i'll be posting the 18 basic typeseis, but since there's such a high number of possible dual type combinations, i'll probably mainly post those on request. if there's any dual type terms you'd be interested in, just send me an ask!
