Where is Pokémon Emerald set?

Drawn from these real places

Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this game’s setting was modelled on, named in its Japanese Wikipedia article. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, so it is listed apart from everything above and never counted as a filming location.

Places whose own article says it is set there

1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this game, where Wikidata records nothing and this game’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

• Mount Aso Japan

  “Mount Aso serves as the inspiration of Mt. Chimney in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Emerald and the remake Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.” Wikipedia
