Oh it was still Kanto, there just wasn't any reason to call it that. I should point out that Kanto means "east" and Johto means "west". And if you think about it, you'll realize that the numbers are obviously meant to refer to the islands. Also, you seem to be avoiding the greatest hole in your theory; WHY WOULD THEY NAME A CITY AN ISLAND?!!! I don't know what you're talking about with that new bark town thing, but we should move the pages to their numbered forms and simply add a note about the nicknames. Now about the event islands, while they appear in the region of the sevii isles, that does not make them their own islands, complete with number. After all, there are several islands separated from the main landmass that are still considered part of the islands (ex; mt. ember is still part of one island). And there is plenty of reason to move them, after all they are the names most (not all, you don't) people use when referring to the islands, and some people wouldn't know which island you were talking about when they see something like boon island on a page. By all means, keep the nicknames, but as nothing more then a redirect and a small note on each page. [[User:Noname|Noname]] | Oh it was still Kanto, there just wasn't any reason to call it that.

:Why would they name a city "X Island"? Look at Kanto. Where's Blaine's Gym? It's not Cinnabar City. It's Cinnabar Island. The TCG screwed that up, but the Gym is on Cinnabar Island, a ''city'' that happens to be on an island, just like all of them in the Sevii Islands. | |||
:And Mt. Ember is part of ''Knot Island''. One Island is the town. And let's see, ''how many'' agreed with me on their names being Knot, Boon, Kin, Floe, Chrono, Fortune, Quest, Navel, Birth and not One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Navel, Birth? Sevii Isle 8 and 9 are even beta areas, proving that ''the number names are for separate things'', at least in the English-language versions. What's the Japanese text on the signposts, does anyone know? '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
