I've been meaning to go back and watch this stretch of the anime forever but I like thinking about how (pretty sure) the Battle Frontier is technically considered a part of Kanto and under their jurisdiction instead of Hoenn's.... game-wise, that also feels kind of right to me.

Because then we have the Sevii Islands, which just feel.... very un-Kanto-like. Very off and otherworldly, very post-game, very edge of the world. I'm choosing to believe that Emerald's Battle Frontier is closer to Kanto and the Sevii Islands are closer to Hoenn. I just like the symmetry of that. Stretching to the very edge of your region, the boundaries of where you're able to go

#MIRAGE ISLAND IS THE SECRET EIGHTH (tenth) SEVII ISLAND. IT MOVES SOMETIMES. GAME THEORY.#frlg #rse #pokeshow #i want to go back and talk to all the sevii island npcs again bc while i don't think they consider themselves culturally hoennites at all.#i do think i remember one of them saying something that made a distinction between the islands and mainland kanto #so idk if this is like. geographically or politically or what. but i just love thinking of them getting crossed like this #like i think the soil around the memorial pillar would match the soil of mossdeep somehow. like geologically.#even without the meta trading connection and birth island and all of that. the tanoby key is sooooooo hoenncoded #and we've got the ghost of johto on either side (unown) (smeargle)#like the battle frontier has completely different vibes of course but.#i love you strange islands in gba games....
