Hoothooters! Can I get sum?

Blade while Game freak dose a good job at making the games they some what fail at fully utilizing a region's potential for a case in point take the Sevii Islands they were a good Idea but all they were is oh yeah the Sevii is always existed but as a poorly excavated clone of the Kanto/Jotho mainland. IMO the Sevii Islands would have been better as it's own region with it's own Pokedex and be like Pokémon's version of the Grate Aea from the Legend of Zelda.

Actually the Sevii Islands were based off of the Izu and Bonin Islands off the south-southeast of the Main Japanese Island. And I thought the Sevii Islands were a nice addition, kinda mirroring the Orange Archapelego. Considering that the time-line of the Games apparently has Fire Red and Leaf Green happen in the same time frame as Ruby/Saphire/Emerald, while Gold/Silver/Crystal happen at the same time as Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. Besides, if you couldn't go to Johto in Red/Blue/Yellow, you have to get SOMEWAY to complete your Pokedex on those Games.

it's shaped like a mitten and a bony finger, Five Grate Lakes, Interesting local legends such as the underwater panther, and Paul Bunyan being said to have created the Lower Peninsula and dug the Grate Lakes as watering holes for Babe the blue ox. Interesting locations such as the mighty Mackinac and a local specialty Mackinac Island Fudge, that and it's the birth place of General Motors, as well as other Businesses such as the Kellogg Company, which it's world headwaters is in Battle Creek, Michigan.

And New York City doesn't have it's fair share of history, myth, geography, geology, looks, and several business origins? It's one of the first cities of the United States! It's pretty iconic of the USA. Mention the US and one of the first things to come to mind is the NYC.

Actually Blade Michigan dose have a Large City, while yes it may not be as big as new york it's still the 11'th largest in the US, I am of course talking about Detroit Michigan. You my friend have obviously not read Michigan's Article on wikipedia were it clearly states that one of Michigan's Sister states is the Shiga Prefecture of Japan.

And Wiki's article on New York City says one of it's Sister Cities is Tokyo, which was the basis for Saffron City in RBY. Need an analog somewhere...

Look, not saying you shouldn't think that Michigan would be 'great' for a Pokemon Setting, every region of every country of every continent has some interesting local lore and history. We've got some in Kansas, but I doubt Game Freak would make a Pokemon Game based here. It's pretty bland. Unless you make it the entire Central US from Texas up to Canada, then it might get a bit interesting, but otherwise, yeah.

New York City is a better choice.
