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 [[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.

| [[Holon]] | |||
| {{wp|Lake Holon}} | |||
| {{wp|T'boli, South Cotabato}} | |||
| Similar geography; mountains surrounding a deep lake, and 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 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)]]. | |||

| [[Crystal Guardians]] | |||
| {{wp|Palawan}} | |||
| {{wp|Philippines}} | |||
| Might be based on the general region of the island {{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)]]. | |||

| [[Dragon Frontiers]] | |||
| {{wp|Luzon}} | |||
| {{wp|Philippines}} | |||
| With its sky island seen on cards such as [[Typhlosion δ (EX Dragon Frontiers 12)]], may be inspired by the effect the {{wp|sea of clouds}} has on {{wp|Mount Pulag}} in the mountainous region of {{wp|Benguet}}, making the peak appear to be floating above the sky. The desert scenery in the set featured on cards such as [[Mareep δ (EX Dragon Frontiers 54)]] might be evocative of the desert areas of {{wp|La Paz Sand Dunes}}, found in the region of {{wp|Laoag}}, meaning [[Dragon Frontiers]] could be located generally on the island of {{wp|Luzon}}. | |||
