Ok, so now that we have a clearer screenshot of Isshu, I believe more than ever that this is only a portion of it.
If you look at both icy mountains, you will notice something very cool about their positioning. First, they are exactly opposite of each other. I believe that these mountains will hold either legendary within it, since it would make sense that opposing mountains represent Yin and Yang.
Then, you will also see that "island" located in that ring of water between the two rivers. This is placed to be perfectly in the middle of both mountains. It also, as others have said as well, looks like a shrine of some sort. Not to mention the bridge that connects the two mountains as well as cuts through this shrine.
As Mt. Coronet was introduced fairly early into the game for DPPt, one can assume that these mountains are meant to be introduced early on as well and with the shrine. The player would either navigate around them for the time being, or perhaps explore one or the other a little as done in DPPt, whereupon they would continue on their journey. There is obviously a river of some sort along with other bodies of water on top and leading down the mountain on the right. But they are far too close to any of the most likely starting points for our character for us to be able to surf them yet when we first reach them.
Thus, I believe that this shows that there must be much more to this region, perhaps even more than Sinnoh was compared to our first screenshot of it.
The two rivers also support my point, for there is no marked beginning of them, so having only what we see in the pic be Isshu would leave unfinished work on GF's part and unanswered questions on our own.
Also observe how both rivers at the top of the pic are beding down from the Northwest. And what are the two primary directions which may most likely yield the rest of Isshu? The North and West.
Now allow me to address the new land distinction which has been revealed in the clearer pics: that raised land with all of the holes which seem to be the entrances to caves. Perhaps they are ruins of some sort, but no matter what, it is distincly levled out at the top. To my knowledge, there has never been a plateau used as a geographical feature in the franchise. So, my belief is that this is some sort of plateau which yielded to the discovery of artifacts of some sort within it, possibly relating to the two aforementioned mountains. What the pic cuts off is most likely a northern exit off of the plateau where the region continues on as usual, with those two rivers either merging into one as we follow it north or with one possibly end before the other.
Being that next month's corocoro will involved some new info that will include information on the game's story, I hope that it will shed some new light on the situation here in Isshu. If we're lucky, we might even get a full pic of the region then (even better, with some more new pokemon
).
Until then, I will daydream of my theory.

I think it's funny that the screenshots of Zekrom and Reshiram are being battled with the beginers.
Another thought; I have a feeling that the online play will be really well developed, contrary to the mediocre internet capabilities of Nintendo's consoles. The reason? This mediocrity exactly. Perhaps this is their way of creating a fantastic online Pokemon service that the DS alone cannot provide? If Nintendo has learned anything from Sony and Microsoft's online networks, I don't think this is too farfetched.
As for maps and gameplay (those rumours in the other thread included) I'll just sit back and await the game's release!~ I am excited to see new Pokemon though!

Please please please please be fully playable PLEASE.
I think the number one reason why they are introducing this online thing is because of piracy. I use a rom just for my battles that I upload to youtube because the quality is much better(I also own a copy of HG ) so if you can upload your saved battles to the internet and then record them, there will be no reason to have a rom. So I think that is some of the reason they are doing this.

I loved the fact that they implemented an online site for the GTS in D/P, and since then I've wished they'd come out with more "online" features. Being able to play my game online from a computer opens up a bunch of opprotunities. Although I do enjoy the "DS/Nintendo" interface.
This, plus the ability to travel to the old regions. Thus, the game itself doesn't need to include all the old regions, but perhaps by logging on to the web you get full access to all the old regions, gyms and pokemon.
This would indeed open up many MMO capabilities!
Wow, the fact that this region is based off New York City alone is enough to make me crap my pants. Then we've got crazy new wifi/internet features as well.
Prediction: Most epic Pokemon game ever.

I'm curious to see what this online play is about, it's probably just a way to play on the net & get some extra content. I probably won't get to play it though since I only have dial-up, peh. I hope it isn't just something stupid with no purpose.
I swear, the more pics I see of B/W the more I fall in love with them...

Thanks redostrike for reporting this!! LOL
Ok i think it's great that they put in this option altough i might think if its fully playable (which it's prolly not going to be and more something like the extra's we get on the pokéwalker) then cloning pokémons/items is going to be very easy. And some other things can be done to i have a few stuff in my head already .

i have a few stuff in my head already .They will cover up the ways to clone...
They're not stupid you know...
And since it has InfraRed that meens you can connect the pokewalker to it!
I wonder if they'll make a new pokewalker to support the 5th Gen pokes.
i really hope that GF will keep selling items for the game seperately so the game will never get boring.
Oh and i really hope they have special cartridges which can be Re-Writable so you can download new areas to the region off the internet.
Imagine it, new places popping up and maybe even new pokemon to come.
I am just praying that they make it unhackable...
It just ruins it with all those hacks, like it would of been much better to find out about Shaymin Event and stuff ourselves on DPPt and be like ZOMG WHATS THAT!?

Has anyone noticed that we haven't seen any physical (melee) attaks yet? Maybe the pokemon will actually tackle eachother now (as opposed to seeing impact stars appear on the other side of the screen).
No, but I believe GF is doing this on purpose. By only showing us special attacks so far, it has caused us to speculate what the physical ones will look like. I for one believe that since they are holding it back, that it will be much improved and pokemon will actually make contact that makes sense when attacking physically.
That would seem more realistic
@Papa4tw: Welcome aboard, fellow pokefan!
And to answer your question, yes, there have been leaks in past generations, and of the same calliber (such as it is from corocoro, PS, etc.).
Leaks are quite often and expected for the most part, but usually only during the time of the month before corocoro is released. Any other leaks, such as when the version mascots were revealed, come as a nice and unexpected treat.
