Unova: Difference between revisions

{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Unova}}

Although some of Unova is geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas. One of the largest cities in Unova, [[Castelia City]], is based on {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Castelia is (as opposed to a continuing metropolis as in real life) a [[Desert Resort|vast desert]]. [[Nimbasa City]], which is to the north of Castelia City, could be a reference to {{wp|Broadway (New York City)|Broadway}}, which is located in Manhattan. [[Nacrene City]], with its restored storehouses, is reminiscent of the ubiquitous lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The division of Unova may also be a reference to the {{wp|Borough (New York City)|Boroughs of New York City}}. The [[Skyarrow Bridge]] is a reference to the {{wp|Brooklyn Bridge}}, which connects Brooklyn and Manhattan. The [[Battle Subway]] is a reference to the {{wp|New York City Subway}}, which is the most extensive public transit system in the world, as well as one of the oldest.

==History==

* Unova is the only region in which multiple gyms specialize in the same type: the [[Striaton Gym]] (which also specializes in {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}) and the [[Humilau Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Water}} types, and the [[Nacrene Gym]] and [[Aspertia Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Normal}} types.

* Unova is the only region to have two [[Victory Road]]s.
