== Battle Frontier ==
Isn't it wrong to say that Unova is the only region without a battle frontier as a battle frontier always comes in the 3rd version of the game("Grey")? [[User:Icy|Icy]] 18:39, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
:No it isn't wrong to say that because the third version hasn't even been out or even confirmed. Just wait till we get an official confirmation, which'll take several years. :] --[[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 19:52, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

:Then how come when you look up any Pokemon's game locations Colosseum and XD are listed under the main games section and not side games? For example, I'm looking at Fearow's page right now and both Colosseum and XD are under main games Gen 3. [[User:Tokeupdude|Tokeupdude]] 10:16, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
::Nevermind! Orre is a side-region to the main series and the others are "spin-off" regions. I get it now ;) [[User:Tokeupdude|Tokeupdude]] 15:38, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
== Location? ==
Does anyone know where Unova is located, like North of Hoenn, or East of Johto? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] 02:22, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
:It's location from the other main series regions is not yet known. All we know for sure is that it is FAR away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. My best guess would be that it is both east and west of the other regions, just like how the United States (or NYC in this case) is both east and west.

@Ataro I think one of the problems is that Colosseum and XD are still listed as main series games on the game template. If it is side series now the template needs to be changed accordingly.

== another trivia? ==
unova does not have any pokemon blocking the player's progress. kanto has snorlax, johto has sudowoodo, hoenn has wailmer (blocking lilycove city preventing the player from surfing) and sinnoh has psyduck blocking the road due to headache. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 16:01, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
:I think that's worth adding. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 19:20, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
== Black and White 2 Coro Coro Leaks ==
Is it worth adding a section for Hiougi City yet?
Also, the information about Unova being covered in ice is not confirmed; translations seem to suggest that it is the map covered in ice a la the clouds covering the initial Unova reveal, rather than the region itself being covered. [[User:Exterminieren|Exterminieren]] 20:25, 12 April 2012 (UTC)Exterminieren
:Until further information is revealed, the admin team have decided to crackdown on speculation until more information is discovered. Thus the protection on a number of pages. Sort of related to the clouds, like you mentioned. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 06:11, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

== Remove ice covering speculation  ==
May an administrator please remove the part about the ice actually covering the region in the Between Pokemon Black and White and Black and White 2 paragraph. That's speculation. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 16:17, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia Issue ==
The trivia section states that "Unova is the only region without an actual or former Rock-type Gym." However, Johto did not have one either, though its neighbor, Kanto, did. I thought it'd be better to bring it up here rather than edit it out because there may be a reason for having that in the article that I am unaware of...or something like that. [[User:CrimsonCerberus|CrimsonCerberus]] 20:05, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
:That's why it says "or former". Jasmine is stated in the Johto games to have been a rock specialist gym leader until her Onix evoled into a Steelix and she changed to Steel. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 21:06, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Has any such map yet been released? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 17:31, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
== Unova Nationality ==
Despite it being heavily implied that Unova is far away from the other regions (with the reset route system and being based on New York), something came to my attention stating otherwise. In BW2 Crasher Wake tells the player that "Everyone says I'm a wrestler from abroad, but the truth is... I was born and raised in the Sinnoh region! It's what they call my gimmick!" It seems that Unova is undeniably in the same country, and likely way way closer to the other regions than Japan is to America. Should there be something added to the page to reflect it's nationality? --[[User:MicManGuy|MicManGuy]] ([[User talk:MicManGuy|talk]]) 11:12, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
:I'm parsing that as "Everyone (in Sinnoh), says I'm a wrestler from abroad", not "Everyone (here) says I'm a wrestler from abroad.  It really doesn't say much of anything about say anything about the closeness of Unova to other places.  --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 14:37, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
::Yeah but he's not in Sinnoh. He's in Unova when he says that. If Sinnoh is really "abroad" relative to Unova, it wouldn't just be a gimmick, it'd actually be true. --[[User:MicManGuy|MicManGuy]] ([[User talk:MicManGuy|talk]]) 16:58, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

== Unova Map of Sequels instead of the First Games? ==
I apologize if this has already been discussed - I couldn't find it in this talk section. But I noticed that the main image for the page uses the region map from the original Black and White games, with the Black/White 2 map being slightly lower down in the article. Shouldn't it be the other way around, seeing as the BW2 map has more locations and is more 'current' within the Pokémon world?  --[[User:Evacino|<span style="color:#A70000">'''evacino'''</span>]][[User talk:Evacino|<span style="color:#0000A7">''' (talk)'''</span>]] 01:19, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
:While this should be the case, we do not have a proper image of Unova showing all the new locations from BW2. The only images of BW2 Unova have the ice covering the eastern portion of the map or labels all over the place. --[[User:HoennMaster|<font color="blue">Hoenn</font>]][[User talk:HoennMaster|<font color="green">Master</font>]] 03:26, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

:::Like I said, it's not a proper image. It's angled, it's shaded oddly, and it doesn't show the whole region. --[[User:HoennMaster|<font color="blue">Hoenn</font>]][[User talk:HoennMaster|<font color="green">Master</font>]] 04:22, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Ah, that makes perfect sense then. It's a shame Game Freak have never released the full, non-icy version of the image. It's odd as well since what can be seen of the BW2 map is basically the first Unova map but with a few added changes. The closest image I can find to what it might of looked like is [http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/134/8/f/unova_region_full_map_by_jcferggy-d7ibhxw.jpg this], which is a Photoshop of both maps together so it looks like the ice is removed.

== Besuto Uisshu ==
Do you not think that it is a coincidence that, with Japanese pronunciation and spelling, "Wishes" in "[[Best Wishes series|Best Wishes]]" is pronounced and spelled almost the same as "Isshu" in "[[Unova|Isshu-chihō]]"? [[User:Torr3|Torr3]] ([[User talk:Torr3|talk]]) 14:22, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

== B2W2 Exclusive Locations ==
I think we really should explicitly emphasize the fact that some locations in Unova are exclusive to B2W2. I know it is already said/implied here and there, but the information is diffuse and, if you don't know it already, hard to come by.
When looking at a route's or a city's page, if it is exclusive to B2W2, you end up having to deduce it from the lack of information about BW, instead of having a sentence saying it right away.
We should do like it's done, for example, in Emerald exclusive locations, where there is a sentence in the first paragraph saying the location only appears in Pokémon Emerald. [[User:Suic12-|Suic12-]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 15:32, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
