[GIANTOLDSNAKEFACE oh wait he backed it up a bit... And there's Old Snake, in his ~new jacket~. He turns the Pokegear to look at a Shrine.]

Any thoughts on this?




Chiiiiiiic!


Sunny, don't touch it. We don't know what it-- I said don't--

... Fine. Sit on it.

That's a shrine? Isn't it too small?

I don't know... Some old lady was babbling about it before I came into the forest... I just figured this was it.

Huh. Well, I'm not familiar with...I guess this is Shinto?

Looks like it. [Kneels down before the shrine, looking it over.] Looks Japanese in origin.

Johto as a whole seems to be based off Japan. New Bark Town and Cherrygrove City don't indicate it, but Violet City and Azalea Town use overwhelmingly Japanese architecture. And even the name of the region sounds Japanese.

Yeah, Violet City definitely. Well, I know from what Otacon told me, this entire place is in a video game originally developed in Japan.

I was told the same thing. It just makes our presence here all that more puzzling.

Everything's got an answer eventually... Just gotta find it, first.
