Most of all cities and towns in Sinnoh are positioned in the same way as the real cities and towns of the Japan while most of its design is based on it as well. [[Jubilife City]] is Sinnoh's largest city, which is based on {{wp|Sapporo, Hokkaido|Sapporo City}}, Hokkaido's largest city, while [[Veilstone City]] is based upon {{wp|Abashiri, Hokkaido|Abashiri City}}, a major port city. | Most of all cities and towns in Sinnoh are positioned in the same way as the real cities and towns of the Japan while most of its design is based on it as well.

Geographical features are similar as well, with the large mountain ranges of [[Mount Coronet]] based from the {{wp|Ezo}} mountain chain, which is made up of the {{wp|Teshio Mountains}}, the {{wp|Kitami Mountains}}, the {{wp|Ishikari Mountains}}, the {{wp|Yubari Mountains}}, and the {{wp|Hidaka Mountains}}. The three lakes of Sinnoh mimic {{wp|Lake Toya|Lake Tōya}}, {{wp|Lake Kussharo}} and Lake Kutcharo. The [[Sendoff Spring|fourth lake of Sinnoh]] is similar to {{wp|Lake Mashu|Lake Mashū}}, which is also known as a mysterious spot that has a dense layer of fog hiding the surface most of the time. | Geographical features are similar as well, with the large mountain ranges of [[Mount Coronet]] based from the {{wp|Ezo}} mountain chain, which is made up of the {{wp|Teshio Mountains}}, the {{wp|Kitami Mountains}}, the {{wp|Ishikari Mountains}}, the {{wp|Yubari Mountains}}, and the {{wp|Hidaka Mountains}}.

The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may also be a reference to Japan's own national route system, which goes from {{wp|Japan National Route 1|1}} to {{wp|Japan National Route 58|58}}, then skips directly to {{wp|Japan National Route 101|101}}, and then skips several more numbers. Routes in Sinnoh do not run concurrent to routes in Hokkaido; instead starting over after the set of routes in Hoenn. | The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may also be a reference to Japan's own national route system, which goes from {{wp|Japan National Route 1|1}} to {{wp|Japan National Route 58|58}}, then skips directly to {{wp|Japan National Route 101|101}}, and then skips several more numbers.
