Real-world inspiration: Hmm... Narnia? Ah yes, towering neon mushrooms! These world-famous British natural wonde-- hang on. Kicking things off in alphabetical order we have Ballonlea, a dark little hamlet located in a forest of gigantic trees and glowing mushrooms. Frankly, it's the most otherworldly town in the game and doesn't share much at all w...
Real-world inspiration: Bath, Somerset An easy one, this. Bath is a spa town in the South West of England. As you might expect, it's got natural hot springs that the Romans took advantage of to build baths, hence the unimaginative name. Characterised by its water and lovely architecture (John Wood the Younger's Royal Crescent being a famous example...
Real-world inspiration: A forest (pick one - The Forest of Dean's a winner) Glimwood Tangle is a forest you must go through on your way to Ballonlea. It was this area where the 24-hour livestreamtook place before Pokémon Sword and Shield launched. There are numerous forests you could argue that Glimwood Tangle draws inspiration from - this list fro...

Hull and Grimsby spring to mind, perhaps with a splash of the picturesque Dartmouth for good measure, but there are plenty more harbour towns and seaside resorts it resembles. As seen in Hulbury wit...
Real-world inspiration: Manchester / Liverpool Steam-powered and industrial, Motostoke blends the mighty cities of Liverpool and Manchester. Both famous port cities that grew prominent during the Industrial Revolution, they'll be best-known to international readers for their football (soccer) teams and as the birthplace of many of the country's bes...
