::::::::::::::A Great Ball is neither a reference to the UK nor a reasonable piece of evidence, let's be honest. The place is clearly a reference to southern Andalusia as all the names suggest.[[User:Valentio|Valentio]] ([[User talk:Valentio|talk]]) 21:45, 3 December 2022 (UTC) | ::::::::::::::A Great Ball is neither a reference to the UK nor a reasonable piece of evidence, let's be honest.

The name does not necessarily need to reference the location as shown in the previous games. (Turffield and York for a more recent example). There's no reason why it can't be both algeciras and gibraltar. By that logic, Porto Marinada can only be Porto. It seems to me that the only name reference is the from the spanish translation. I'm not saying to disregard the Spanish translation, but I don't think the name in the Spanish should say it's only reference point. How is the Great Ball not a reference to Great Britain when it's the only one in the area? Having a higher quality pokeball in the beginning of the game is odd. Gibraltar was taken from Spain when the country was called Great Britain, not England not the United Kingdom. | |||
As I said before, the entirety of this page is fan speculation. I quote from the top of the page "There is no solid evidence for or against some parts of this article" If you're giving this much scrutiny towards Spain, why not the others? I can give you more parts of Unova that make absolutely no sense. You'd need to remove a lot of this page due to how explicit you seem to want the page to be. To reiterate, I agree that references to real places should have some evidence and not out of left field. But Gibraltar is more of a nod than anything. And geographically it makes absolute sense. | |||
Andorra doesn't seem to have references as explicit as what you ask either. Just geographically, it's more in país vasco and navarra. [[User:Pipcrew|Pipcrew]] ([[User talk:Pipcrew|talk]]) 03:37, 4 December 2022 (UTC) | |||
