Okay, I don't like posting journals up this close together, but I feel that this needs to be said. Yes, I just wrote an essay in a journal, get over it.

Unova is the territory, region, province, whatever you want to call it. No, it is not Isshu. It was Isshu in Japan, and unless you live in Japan, you have no reason to call it Isshu. If you are still going to call it Isshu, because damn the torpedoes, no name has ever been changed between Japanese and American markets before, I have only one thing to ask of you. Look around yourself and find a pencil or a pen. Go on, I'll wait.

Found one? Good. Now, spread your fingers like the sign from Star Trek and place the pencil between your middle and ring finger. Using your other hand, squeeze the two fingers together. You may notice that this really fucking hurts, and you have now received your punishment for calling the stupid region by it's Japanese name. Mert tudok egy foltelmes ember leni. Did that make any sense to you? No, probably not, unless you speak Hungarian. For much the same reason tagging "desu" onto stuff is idiotic, calling the region Isshu is an utterly moronic pursuit. If you keep calling the region Isshu, congratulations, one more point onto your Weeaboo meter and you've lost the respect of almost everyone on planet Earth!

Which brings me to the whole 'reintegration' concept of Unova as a whole. So far, I have seen three explanations for how to get your Unova characters into the PCA, and they are as follows:

1. Unova is a recently discovered area.
Reason this is retarded: Simple. We have charts of the fucking moon and solar systems thousands of light years away. We have mapped out the very bottom of the ocean and while we don't know what's down there, we know that there is a bottom to it. What makes you think that another region, floating a couple hundred miles (or even less) away from the other Pokeregions, would go undiscovered? Especially when the whole island is a giant fucking city?

2. Unova recently opened it's doors to the outside world.
Alright, out of the three, this is easily the dumbest fucking one that I've seen. A self-absorbed region cannot just 'open it's doors' to the world. There are consequences. Rather large ones at that. Take for example the last country to do so to the world: the failing Soviet Union. Now, I can say without humility that I happen to know quite a bit about this, so let me explain what I mean. When the Soviet Union collapsed, free trade and the outside world poured in. Suddenly, the ex-Republics were not trading with devalued rubles, but were expected to cough up hard currency. This caused inflation rates to soar into the 1000% range, if not higher. Poverty went through the roof, crime exploded, and the mass exodus from the ex-Republics crippled the world economy. Much the same would have happened in Unova. Not to mention that a shut-in country/republic lags behind (no matter what anyone will try to argue), the Unova region cannot be this second option.

3. Unova has always been here, we just never went into detail about it.
I like to give credit where credit is due, so I'm going to call this the "Carlito Method". The borders of Unova never opened; they were never closed. The region was never discovered; it's always been there. Why didn't we go into detail about it? Because WE, in OUR world, never knew it existed, but to the Pokemorphs in the PCA-verse, it's always been there. Just because you're a shut in that doesn't know where or what the Taj Mahal is doesn't mean that it ceases to exist. If I give you the name of an animal you never knew was living on this planet, does that mean that it SUDDENLY burst into existence the moment I uttered the name? No! Unova was never explored because none of the "focus" characters were from there, or interacted with Unova characters.

And finally, the last topic I'm going to rant on, the English names. Oooh, the English names. From Snivy to Braviary, everyone has an opinion. This situation is what I am going to dub "Wargle Syndrome". Wargle is the Japanese name for Braviary (in case you've been living under a rock and didn't know this) and it happens to be the biggest and sorest subject in the names I've seen so far. Provided your brain is located in your head and not your rectum, you may have guessed that "Wargle" comes from "War" and "Eagle", both butchered English words that have been used by the Japanese. "Wargle" is the Japanese equivalent to "Desu" that all the weeaboo fans spout ad nauseum i.e. more than once. If the fans would take a step back and look at "Wargle", they'd realize that Braviary (bray-vee-air-ee) looks a hell of a lot cooler and sounds much better than "Wargle" - a sound that I can only compare to trying to gargle a bowl of cereal in a culvert.

Your ranting and raving has no effect on Gamefreak, nor do they give a shit; thousands of people "Boycotted" Modern Warfare 2 due to the lack of dedicated servers, but some ten million people still bought it. Do you think that anyone cares? No, of course not. You're only fooling yourself, and you end up the bigger joke because of it.

Speaking as someone who follows the vehicle aftermarket industry, I can confidently say that, while America is addicted to Japan and follows it around like a piece of bogroll suck on the bottom of it's shoe, Japan is doing the exact same right back to America. The two countries are so caught up in sucking each other off that neither is able to live without blatantly copy-pasting everything the other does ad-nauseum (i.e. more than never). While I love JDM and imports (that's Japanese Domestic Market for all you non-car people) and Japanese culture as a whole (I mean, come on; ninjas, sohei and samurai are rather bad ass) you don't see me running around spouting random Japanese words. Unless you can speak Japanese fluently, I sorely hope that you have enough sense to accept the fucking English names, at least in public. Don't embarrass yourself or the people you surround yourself with.
