After disclosing where in the Pokémon world I would theoretically reside, I felt the need to open a thread to discuss something that has always captivated my imagination. Each Pokémon region, at least within the games, is dotted by a finite number of interesting communities. With so many routes connecting these cities and towns, have you ever wondered about the smaller details that are left to your imagination? For years, I've always wondered what the precise population of each community would be along with their demographics. What are your thoughts? Are there millions in each region? How many towns in between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove? The possibilities are endless.
As election season draws nearer again in the United States, I was also tossing around the idea of which areas would be more left-leaning / liberal vs. right-leaning / conservative. The games understandably never really touch upon this aspect, but it's interesting to postulate based upon what we know about our world and the world of Pokémon. For Hoenn, at least, I picture cities like Lilycove, Mauville, and Mossdeep being liberal strongholds whereas more rural locales like Verdanturf, Oldale, Littleroot, and Fallarbor Towns voting more conservatively. The swing areas would be the presumed suburbs around the major cities. Rustboro, Slateport, and Petalburg, I feel, could swing depending upon the mood of the working-class, who I presume form the majority in these areas.
