Annoyed? Sounds like it's blatantly obvious. Um... I'm getting annoyed trying to think of the simple place.

I just saw the Giant Ant Mound. Hilarious.

Is is indeed in Australia, but it's not a state and there's a bit more to it. The place really exists, not just in my imagination, but I used a LOT of imagination to turn it into a region.

Yeah, that's where Pesant lives

I might put in a giant beehive too for Combee to live in.

Nope. You're not thinking laterally enough.

Well, if by laterally you mean the last one in alphabetical order, then Western Australia. However, that doesn't seem likely so I guess Victoria.

What? Alphabetical order has nothing to do with lateral thinking :P

You're right though, it is in Victoria. But that's sort of irrelevant.

*raises eyebrows at your question* Yes Coolsteph, we have quite a few zoos. I find your question a little ignorant.

And no, it's not based on a zoo, but you're on the right track.

I am sorry, AlexFantastico, for being ignorant. The ignorant excuse is that we Americans are not good at geography, particularly when it pertains to non-American geography. (I have not even covered the French Revolution in my history textbooks yet---the shame. Although technically, that is history, not geography...) The intelligent excuse was that I was under the impression Victoria was a city, rather than a state. It is less ignorant to assume that not all Australian cities have zoos, compared to assuming that not all Australian states have zoos.

If it is not a zoo, but I am on the right track, then is it based on a natural history museum in Victoria, Australia?
*checks Wikipedia article about Victoria, Australia*
Maybe a museum, park, or mural in Victoria? Or in Melbourne (it has many people) in specific?

But, it is extraordinarily ignorant to have thought that Victoria was a city rather than a state, even more so than being unaware of our abundance recreational facilities such as zoos. I know more about America than you do Australia, but I suppose that's because in Australia we get a lot of our media from America, while you don't get much Australian media if any.

None of you have guessed correctly, it might help to know that Victoria is the state that I live in.

Also everyone, note that I now have a full time job so I won't be posting updates as much

Unfortunately drawing Pokémons isn't making me any money.

Well....at least I am geographically non-ignorant enough to know that Denmark is a country and is different from the countries Norway and Sweden. People of America seem to perceive Scandinavia as a country rather than a cultural region, but I do not.
...blame the school system. Yours must be better.
More on topic...is it based on the insides of your house? The outsides of your house? The vicinity of your house? Is it based on a national park?

My only problem with the map is the volcano, because Australia sits in the middle of its tectonic plate it has no volcanic activity what so ever. And you don't really need a volcano I mean there's only one volcano in the actual Pokemon games, but for some reason every time some one makes a region map it has a volcano some where on it.

...one, there could be artistic license. Two, maybe this fictitious region has invented an artificial volcano to attract and/or house Fire-types and promote tourism.

DING DING DING Coolsteph is correct, it is based on my house (it's a flat rather than a house but close enough) and my backyard. It's raining right now so Vita River (the gutter running beside my backyard) is running rather swiftly. Lantern Desert (my dining room floor) on the other hand is dry as a bone.

Our school system isn't very good, I learnt from watching documentaries, reading books and Wikipedia.

That is actually incorrect, I thought Australia was volcanically inactive too but there are actually numerous volcanoes (they haven't erupted for a long time but they are there) and I hear about the occasional earthquake on the news, though none are very serious. The volcano on my map is based on my hot water system (which is Vulcan brand).

Actually, there are three. Cinnabar, Mt. Chimney, and Stark Mountain.

So, that means that Washer Lake is either a sink... or a toilet. I'm assuming Mogul Desert is your kitchen, as well. And Portal City is your front door area, because a door is essentially a "portal" between two areas, right?

Washer lake is my kitchen sink. Mogul desert is more of my dining room floor but its close to the kitchen. Rattata's Road is my kitchen in memory of the little mouse that used to raid my kitchen. Gigantum Cliff is my kitchen bench. Portal City is actually my fridge, hence the Ice theme there. Though it also encompasses the door between my kitchen and my bathroom. Flotsam Bay is my front door, as I consider the outside world to be an ocean.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately by the way, I'm working on a map of Somnus City.

(Try not to give us too many geographical details, AlexFantastico. Already I am automatically trying to conjecture the layout of the inside of your house via imagination, which may feel intrusive.)
What happened to the little mouse?
Additionally...I wonder if a working specie goes on swarms around Flotsam Bay like Drifloon every Friday/whenever you come home from your job. Or maybe that would be simply a joke.

I don't really care if you know the layout of my house. Feel free to guess what the other features are.

Unfortunately I killed the mouse using a trap, I felt really bad about it... But it was making a mess everywhere, if you know what I mean.

Many places in the region are puns so it's possible.
