:: I've left Sakhalin and the Kurils in the insert map because I thought it'd help show/give context to the entire region more. For the borders of the region, I followed the in game maps and map art the best I could, following in game cities and landmarks. I felt Kitakami's location, like blueberry academy, was too vague for an exact location like the other regions to be included, but looking at a real life map of Kitakami, the rivers in the south east match the in-game river, so I thought it'd be best to place it there. If Kitakami needs to be removed because of its vague location, I'll be happy to do so. I have also made the Japan insert map as its own image.

== Regarding TCG Holon Region ==
The specific locations for Lake Holon includes "the card Latias δ (EX Holon Phantoms 11) even seems to show a fairly close match for the lake's shoreline and general appearance." Looking at the card and the nearby geography this just doesn't hold true. On the card there are several islands and the shoreline is irregularly shaped, where Maughan Lake (Lake Holon) is almost perfectly circular and lacking in any islands. The card does however almost perfectly match the nearby Lake Sebu. I think this may have just been a misunderstanding on which lake was Lake Holon, but I'm new and wasn't confident just editing the page without seeing what you all thought.
Just to be clear, it still seems to check out that Holon (pokemon world city) is located in Lake Holon (real world location). Rather, Latias is a bad example of a card depicting the lake. The card could probably still be mentioned, seeing as Lake Sebu is quite close and the card matches it almost one to one.
