Here is some wishful thinking for you: the big city has 5 docks. Could this potentially mean that in this game we can travel to all 5 regions in the Pokemon world? Doubtful really, but the orgasm that fans would have, well I don't think we are ready for that reaction.
Now if we could take a second to look at the pokemon world itself, a few plasuable locations to base this world off of present itself. My first guess was Tohoku turned upside down. I based this on the idea that it needed to have three pieces of water spitting itself onto the ground. I still believe this is the most likely, but the presence of a large city, the potential that the left land is connected to the earth, and the resemblance of the right piece of earth strong resembling Kanto's jutting piece of land (not THAT kanto) makes me question my first assumption.

Isshu appears to be incredibly diverse, however, one missing an absent thing stuck out to me. There is no far off island town. This means 1 of 2 things. Either you won't have to go through a huge surfing section of the game to complete it (THANK GOD, its worse than a cave) or you will only have to do this on a way 1 trip. For instance, the bridge might be down, so you surf from the large city to the lighthouse city on the other side of the red bridge.
I believe the town on the bottom right is likely to be your starting town. Its path is the most linear at the begining of the game. I can't help but wonder what's up with the next town however, a slab of pure concreate and a single tall building. I need to see further details on the town. The areas havewords are interesting, a city I can't makeout what its theme is, a pool of water and a bridge stretching across, what appears to be a victorian style home in the middle of a brown field, a dark think forest, then a long bridge followed by a metropolitan city, then a stretch through a long desert till you are rewarded with a carnival esq town, and from there things appear to get less linear.
