The [[Delta Species]] based sets surrounding areas might be based in {{wp|South East Asia}}, perhaps specifically the {{wp|Philippines}}, as some of the motifs, backgrounds and aesthetics seem to indicate this as an inspiration. In particular, the [[Holon]] region might correspond to the real life {{wp|Lake Holon}} as it has similar geography; mountains surrounding a deep lake, the card [[Latias δ (EX Holon Phantoms 11)]] even seems to show a fairly close match for the lake's shoreline and general appearance. | The [[Delta Species]] based sets surrounding areas might be based in {{wp|South East Asia}}, perhaps specifically the {{wp|Philippines}}, as some of the motifs, backgrounds and aesthetics seem to indicate this as an inspiration.

The real lake inspires myths and legends that include a submerged advanced ancient civilisation and a great serpent beneath the depths, which might go some way to explain the Holon research tower and [[Gyarados ☆ δ (EX Holon Phantoms 102)]]. If so, then Holon might be a reimagined {{wp|T'boli}}, with a notably different, European look, and advanced technology. | The real lake inspires myths and legends that include a submerged advanced ancient civilisation and a great serpent beneath the depths, which might go some way to explain the Holon research tower and [[Gyarados ☆ δ (EX Holon Phantoms 102)]].

Further afield, locations become less clear. The location of [[Crystal Guardians]] might be based on the region of the island of {{wp|Palawan}}, the Philippine's biggest habitat of {{wp|mangroves}}, which are featured in cards such as [[Gulpin (EX Crystal Guardians 33)]] along with sandy beaches with lush forested islets such as those found on [[Crystal Beach (EX Crystal Guardians 75)]]. | Further afield, locations become less clear.
