Hoenn Confirmed?

Well with the release of a few new Black and White 2 images, including the map, the internet has started talking and they believe there is going to be a Hoenn in the new games.

First, lets have a look at the map differences revealed so far.

So far, apart from the bottom left, it doesn't look like there are any major changes to the map, of course, most of the map has been covered in ice to hide the new things Nintendo doesn't want you to see, much the same way they used clouds on other maps to hide areas.

One of the speculations is about the ice itself, it seems to cover the edges of the map. Some people are saying that the ice is covering some of the transition areas between this region and the next.

So far there has been the release that the regional dex will have 300 pokemon, the most of any regional dex to date. I think this helps the speculation. I think that 300 pokemon in one region does sound a little compressed and one way they could spread out the species would be to expand the playable area, ie. Hoenn.

One thing to remember in this is that the gen 3 games (R/S/E) occurred in the same timeline as the gen 1 games, then several years later we have gen 2 and gen 4 occurring side by side and then finally we have the first two gen 5 games several years after that. The new games are set to take place a few years after the prequels, therefore, there is a massive time gap since we last saw Hoenn. Can you imagine going back after all this time, the changes that would have happened would be massive.

Remember that airport in Mistralton City?
That single airport?
It looks like that is a new airport on the mountain at the right of the new map. But why else is it there? Why do we need a plane to where we can fly to? Speculation says it will take us to Hoenn (much like the magnet train took us between Kanto and Johto.), which by now may have an airport of it's own. Although, I'm thinking it's more likely that this will take us to the battle frontier or some small island rather than a region.

A direct quote from Black and white after you find all the Seven Sages for Looker: "On a topic I must speak to you. Having received such a report, of someone far from here, who has seen a person like N and...a dragon Pokémon. I am on my way to verify the veracity of this information. We will meet again one day!"It appears that N has traveled to a different region with the legendary he has captured, could he have traveled to Hoenn?

The History of the Pokemon Universe

This is the complete history of the Pokemon universe to the best of my knowledge and as professional as I can write it.

• In the beginning, before the Earth, before the Milky Way Galaxy, even before the universe was nothing, nothing but a churning turmoil of chaos.
• At the heart of chaos, where all things became one, there appeared an egg.
• From the egg, Arceus, the original one, hatched.
• Arceus then created Dialga, Palkia and Giratina and from them, the universe was created.
• From Palkia, space began to expand.
• From Dialga, time began to spin.
• From Giratina, antimatter was created. 
 

•  Giratina, Dialga and Palkia created a very basic Earth, uninhabited but with oceans, magma and a basic atmosphere which Giratina then began to destroy.
• Giratina's destructive nature caused Arceus to banish him into an alternate universe (the distortion world) while Dialga and Palkia returned to their own dimensions.
•  Arceus then created the lake trio, Uxie to give knowledge, Mesprit to give emotion and Azelf to give willpower, thus creating the basis of spirits to all pokemon.
• From the pressure's at the oceans depths, Kyogre and Manaphy is formed and they start to fill up the oceans.
•  The pressure within the Earth's magma and hardened earth forms Groudon, while Heatran is formed in the magma and Regigigas is formed by the earth, dirt and trees.
• Rayquaza is then created from the minerals in the atmosphere and begins to create the ozone layer, Groudon begin filling up the land masses (Heatran helps shape the new land) while Kyogre fills up the oceans.
• A chance meeting catches Kyogre and Groudon off guard and they begin a climactic battle, accidentally shaping the world as they go, creating mountains and trenches. 
• Rayquaza steps in and stops the battle, banishing the two deep within the Earth and sealing them with the red and blue orbs.
• Mew is created by the lake trio and is the first pokemon to have Uxie's intelligence, Mesprit's emotions and Azelf's willpower. It becomes the ancestor to all modern pokemon.
•  Cresselia and Darkrai are created to allow pokemon to dream, as Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf could not.

• Regigigas tows the continents into place with ropes and the land is fully formed.
•  Mew become populous on the land as the first real inhabitant of the lands and from it, some sub-species begin to split. Genesect populations thrive and 'Fossil pokemon' appear and rule the lands while Mew populations slowly begin to recede.
•  The single dragon that would become Zekrom and Reshiram is created at this point and is one of the most powerful beings alive.
•  Humans begin to populate the land and hunt fossil pokemon
•  During the stone age, Regigigas creates Regirock from various rocks from different locations.
• The ice age occurs and mammalian pokemon such as Mammoswine begin to prosper wiping out the remaining 'fossil pokemon'.
• During the ice age, Regigigas decides to create Regice in it's image from nevermeltice.
•  Due to human populations hunting Mamoswine, the Mamoswine  populations to start decreasing.
• Unknown come from another dimension and appear in several caves, from them came basic written language.
•  Bronzong and Bronzor come into existance on our world after a Bronzong created a portal into this dimension.
• Over time Magikarp populations gradually become weaker
•  The iron age starts and Regigigas forms Registeel from magma which hardens into steel, the people are terrified at Regigigas' power so they trap him away in Snowpoint temple and take the Regi's to Hoenn.
•  The single dragon, accompanied by two human brothers founded the region of Unova, due to the brothers fighting, the single dragon split, Zekrom and Reshiram are seperated from it and the body becomes Kyurem.
•  Meloetta brings music to the lands until darker times occur, at which point it's song changes and it loses it's melody.
•  As people start mistreating pokemon, Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion begin attacking medieval castles until the forest is set on fire, at which point, Keldeo saves the trio.
• Tornadus and Thunderus begin feuding and a massive storm starts, at the same time Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno begin feuding.
•   Lugia comes out of the depths and stops the birds from fighting, the birds retreat to Kanto.
•  Lugia takes it's perch alongside Ho-oh at the Ecruteak towers
•  Landorus stops the fighting between Tornadus and Thunderus and has a shrine built in it's honour by the people.
• Spiritomb is formed from the spirits of pokemon and is sealed in the Hallowed Tower for it's misdeeds.
•  Brass Tower burns to the ground after lightning strikes it, killing the 3 pokemon that were allowed to live there. Ho-oh resurects the 3 beasts and flies off, Lugia flees to the Whirlpool Islands.

•  Celebi time travels from the future into this more peaceful time, it guards Ilex Forest.
• Elgyem is first discovered in the desert after a meteorite crash.
•  Clefairy appear in mount moon after a meteorite crash, the population begins spreading.
•  A laser hits a meteorite and an alien virus mutates into Deoxys, which later crashes onto Earth
• Victini is hidden away on Liberty Island due to its unnaturally high power.
• One of the few remaining Mews are captured in South America.
• Mewtwo is created as a clone of the captured Mew, it destroys the laboratory and escapes to Cerulean Cave.
• Team Plasma revive a Genosect and outfit it with technologically advanced weapons.

I hope this has helped, if I have missed anything or gotten anything wrong, please comment.
