Pokémon.co.jp has updated again. An interactive map featuring brief descriptions of the Isshu region has been quietly launched. A new commercial can also be found on the site.
Pokémon.co.jp has updated again. An interactive map featuring brief descriptions of the {{bp|Isshu}} region has been quietly launched.


The map is closely detailed. Panning is required to see the whole region. Some locations, including {{bp|Hiun City}}, are attached to speech bubbles not dissimilar to the text bubbles that non-player characters will use. When hovered over, a small sampler text can be read. These range from "the adventure starts at {{bp|Route 1}}<!--linking is intentional-->" to "arrival at a mysterious ruins".

Not all of the region has such text; the northern sections of Isshu (including the widely speculated "castles") remain largely a mystery.
