:On the note of names, Galician is from the same branch as Portuguese, hence the similarities in the two languages given the proximity of the regions. The locations also do not correspond to the territories of where said languages are spoken. Galician is spoken in the northwestern parts of Spain, while Catalan is spoken in the eastern parts of Spain. Neither of which correspond to the Alfornada which is located in the southwestern part of the peninsula. | :On the note of names, Galician is from the same branch as Portuguese, hence the similarities in the two languages given the proximity of the regions.

:That said, Game Freak has been known to take creative liberties, so it's not surprising that they would take elements from both countries and merge them to a single entity.

So I have been looking through [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hattori+Ryokuchi+Park/@34.7772468,135.4852797,938m Google Maps] and I found out that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hattori_Ryokuchi_Park Hattori Ryokuchi Park] has '''exactly the same layout''' as National Park, especially the perfect circle in the middle (which was altered into a Pokéball shape in the game-counterpart). And directly to the west, there are sports fields, serving multiple sports just like Pokéathlon. And to the south of it, there's a pond with a walking pathway at the edge, similar to how Pokéathlon is located next to water. This is just too perfect not to be true, plus it's located in Osaka, near Expo 70' (the one stated to be the real-life counterpart on this page). --[[User:Nhan Pro|Nhan Pro]] ([[User talk:Nhan Pro|talk]]) 14:29, 21 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
