Looking Forward: It Isshu What It Is: Outlook and speculation from a life long die-hard

Setting is, obviously, one of the most important aspects of fictional media. A setting is what can separate two stories from being seemingly identical. What is Star Wars without that galaxy far, far away or Lord of the Rings without Middle Earth? Locales are as much characters as the cast. Pokémon is no different. Each generation, clearly much work is put into bringing to life the world the monsters and their trainers inhabit. Before I move forward to talk about the setting of Pokémon Black and White, Isshu, I’ll take a moment to look back on the evolution of setting in the Pokémon games since the beginning.
