"Ever since The Pokémon Company , the Animal Crossing -style life sim game has seemed a little off. Your character is helping rebuild a small town so Pokémon can live there, but the space is filled with desecrated buildings, and humans are nowhere to be found. Fans have been speculating that the cozy game might not be so cozy after all, and that it may take place in a post-apocalyptic version of the Kanto region from the original games. Now, a leak may have confirmed this."
"A translation posted by Pokémon leak account Centro Leaks describes these desolate areas, and each of them sounds like they've succumbed to the elements. Fuschia city, which fans have speculated might be the first area shown in most of 's trailers, is said to be "dried up and unfertilized fieldland." Vermillion City, which was once occupied by Lt. Surge's electric gym and a harbor city for ships to arrive and depart from, is roughly translated as a "constant raining electrical harbor.""
A leaked map and translations outline a devastated Kanto where former cities and landmarks are derelict and reclaimed by nature. Descriptions label Fuschia as dried and unfertilized fieldland and Vermillion as a constantly raining electrical harbor. Saffron's metro area is covered with plants, Pewter is abandoned and rock-strewn, and Lavender Town's Pokémon Tower is rotten yet believed to reach heaven. The game setting features desecrated buildings and an absence of humans, suggesting long-term abandonment. The degree to which the game will focus on these post-apocalyptic elements is currently unclear.
