I read it somewhere that there is a frontier brain located in the theme park. I forgot where I actually read it. Though it could actually be a gym leader instead.

RE: The Isshu Region Speculation Thread
Alright, here are my speculations:
First of all, Isshu is almost certainly based on New York City, at least in shape. It's definitely not Shanghai; I've lived there and you would have to distort it a lot to get Isshu. The only big difference is there doesn't seem to be a Long Island Sound, but nothing's exact and it could be hiding under that cloud near the plateau thing for all we know. Now, if the desert really is supposed to represent Ground Zero, then I can see some lawsuits coming.
About the vortex, maybe that's the way to the White High-Link - that place in the clouds where you walk through a screen and your appearance changes. As for the two mountains, I think that which one has Reshiram or Zekrom could vary between versions, like maybe the mascot of your game is on the mountain closer to your starting town.
The airport is interesting, and not only because that's the weirdest place to put an airport. It will definitely fly you to another area akin to the Sevii Islands, but I agree that it couldn't lead to one of the old regions. Profits from remakes aside, picking 1 out of the 4 Japan-based regions which are relatively close together would be pretty arbitrary. Going to one particular old city without the rest of the region would be a reasonable addition, but I don't know how that would work story-wise unless that one city just happened to get an airport and you fly there but the way out of town is indefinitely blocked by a sleeping coffeeholic or whatever they think of these days. The plane could also go to a Battle Zone-like area or event areas like those faraway islands.

RE: The Isshu Region Speculation Thread
The island with Hiun City would be Manhattan, with the landmass to the east being Brooklyn, which is one end of Long Island. I questioned it too at first, but after I rechecked exactly how the Bronx is situated relative to Manhattan, it definitely seems right.

RE: The Isshu Region Speculation Thread
I just thought of something. If that plane doesn't fly to Hoenn... Maybe it goes to another new region!

Two new regions, sorry but i don't think so.

RE: The Isshu Region Speculation Thread
Nah probably not. I don't think the designers of the game don't feel like/have time to make another new region. This one is big as it is and it would take a while making another region. So I don't think that the creators would create a new region in the game. If they did actually make it (which I highly doubt) then we would've heard some relative news about it when some of the Isshu region news had been revealed. I just don't think they have to time to create a whole new region while they have a big region already created. I don't think that the plane would travel to Hoenn anymore. I used to believe that it would be possible to travel to previous regions, but then I gave up on believing that. I think that the plane will take the player either to the islands south of the Isshu region. Or it could just be that there is no airplanes in the game and the airport located in the Isshu Region is abandoned, but is still accessible to the player.rockinpikachu said:

I'm sorry if someone has already stated this but that is a great idea. An abandoned gym would be a great place to battle.

It could be like the fighting dojo gym we had in HGSS. But I'd rather it not. I found it more fun battling the gym leaders at their gym.
