From various pieces of information and artwork in TCG products and game director Atsushi Nagashima<ref>[https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/09/09/trade-secrets-the-making-of-a-pokemon-card "Trade Secrets: The Making Of A Pokémon Card" on Game Informer]</ref><ref>[https://www.ptcgic-cr.com/2022/en/column/article-4/ "Pokémon Trading Card Game: Enjoyed Around the World" on Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Contest 2022]</ref>, it can be determined that these areas are similar due to being from separate timelines. At some point, several rifts in space revealed the existence of the opposing worlds to eachother: the "nature" and "technology" sides as seen in the {{TCG|BREAKthrough}}, {{TCG|BREAKpoint}} and {{TCG|Fates Collide}} expansions. These worlds were not only at a close view but also at the brink of merging against eachother, creating a struggle between Pokémon from both sides. This could be related to [[Giovanni]], as the [[Giovanni's Scheme (BREAKthrough 138)|Giovanni's Scheme]] card has the two colour schemes of the Parallel City card. In Fates Collide however, the struggle is replaced with themes of unification through {{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}}'s future vision widsom and the enforcement of order along with other Pokémon. | From various pieces of information and artwork in TCG products and game director [[Atsushi Nagashima]]<ref>[https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/09/09/trade-secrets-the-making-of-a-pokemon-card "Trade Secrets: The Making Of A Pokémon Card" on Game Informer]</ref><ref>[https://www.ptcgic-cr.com/2022/en/column/article-4/ "Pokémon Trading Card Game: Enjoyed Around the World" on Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Contest 2022]</ref>, it can be determined that these areas are similar due to being from separate timelines.

While one world's lifestyle focused on ruralism and rustic architecture, the other focused in urbanism and the foundation of modern buildings, even expanding to previously arid lands. There is a similar city in these worlds on the shore of an ocean, both having an island portion connected to the mainland by a series of bridges. A giant tree exists in the "nature" world's island, while a group of skyscrapers is in its place on the "urban" counterpart. | While one world's lifestyle focused on ruralism and rustic architecture, the other focused in urbanism and the foundation of modern buildings, even expanding to previously arid lands.
