Real Life Legendary Locations
« on: February 25, 2011, 10:17:55 PM »
A couple years ago, a friend and I got to talking about pokemon, specifically, if pokemon were in the real world, where the legendaries would be. We managed to work out the locations of quite a few, but I'm curious to see what other people would think.
Here is what we were decided on (that I could remember):
Articuno: Mt. McKinley
Zapdos: Mt. Washington
Moltres: Mt. Vesuvius
Raikou, Entei and Suicune would be traveling around the world like in the games, but where they were traveling would be specific to their elements. Raikou would be found wherever there is a large storm (like a hurricane), Suicune would never be found in the desert, and Entei would be running around the Ring of Fire in the Pacific.
Lugia: Bermuda Triangle
Ho-oh: Mt. Fuji
Celebi: Amazon Rainforest
Regirock: Sahara
Regice: Antarctica
Kyogre: Mariana Trench
Groudon: Yellowstone super volcano
Rayquaza: Upper Atmosphere
Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf would be in one of the North American Great Lakes, Loch Ness, and the Dead Sea (which one in which didn't really matter to us).
Arceus: Mt. Everest

As you can see, we weren't able to figure out where everyone would go, and we had this discussion before Black and White was announced. Does anyone else have any ideas relating to this? A good place for the ones not mentioned, or a better place for the ones already listed?
You ask why the Old Chateau, I ask what better place to study ghost Pokemon.

Did you arbitrarily choose the mountains of the birds?

Also, if Arceus is supposed to be the Omnipotent Creator of Everything, then wouldn't it also have Omnipresence?

Crystal Dragon Jesus laws apply, of course.

Registeel would probably be somewhere in middle Europe since thats where the iron age started. Maybe in a temple below the Eifle Tower in France.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but I can try to explain the logic behind our choices:
Mt. McKinley was chosen for Articuno because of its location, being just 3 latitudinal degrees south of the Arctic Circle.
Mt. Washington, in New Hampshire, is infamous for its unpredictable weather. It could be completely sunny and calm at one point, and literally an hour later it would be in the middle of a raging storm.
And lastly, we chose Mt. Vesuvius for Moltres due to it being a volcano (though, admittedly, any large volcano would work for the fire bird).
Did you have any other locations in mind for the birds? If so, I would be interested to hear them. :)

When it came to Arceus, we mostly went with the game mechanics, which had placed him in the highest point in Sinnoh. So we just put him in the highest point on Earth.
This discussion mostly came up between us out of boredom, so we didn't really try all that hard or do much research.  :-\

Huh, that's a pretty good idea. :)

Mewtwo - Area 51. I know it's supposed to be aliens but its the only "secret" sinister sort-of lab I could think of.

Going with what Charlie said, I think Deoxys would be found at Area 51, not Mewtwo.

That clears up the mountain thing for me, then.

But yeah, even though Arceus doesn't really make sense, being combined with other 'gods' and 'goddesses', since it's supposed to be the god of everything, it would probably have some kind of holy ghost business going on.
