Talk:Sevii Islands

Is there a reason why we're using the names found on the signboards instead of on the town maps and menus for the islands? (Or does it differ by version?) - 振霖_T 09:43, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Y'mean Knot, Boon, Kin, etc.? Well, I can't speak for those who made the articles, but I would assume the signboard names are the proper names of the islands, and One, Two, Three, etc. are used on the map and menus for simplicity's sake. --Pie 02:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Then why do all the characters in the game refer to the islands as One island, two island, and so on? They are only mensioned Knot island and such once, on the signposts. Personally, I beleive the signpost names are just nicknames, as every other source refers to them as the numbered names. Also, changeing them back would also help to aleviate a lot of confusion, as people useing this wiki would be most likly useing the numbered names and would have no idea what the signpost names mean.

Since no one has replied, I'll assume everyone agree's with me and that I have permission to move them to their proper names. Unfortunatly I'm too lazy to do it right now, and I want everyone to have a chance to post objections and such. Noname

Um, I think it's the other way around. One Island probably is just a nickname for Knot Island. Tina^☆♫ 18:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

While that seems to be the popular consendous, that does not make it true. There is absolutly no proof of that besides the breif mension on the signposts. Noname

Just because the signpost says doesn't make it true. Okay, because then we oughta move Masara Town back where it belongs. After all, Pallet Town is just a nickname. TTEchidna 02:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but I think that was sarcasm. If so, then I should mention that they are called the signpost names in only one context (the signposts) and they are called one island and such in every single other medium. Not only is it on the maps but every single character refers to them as one island and such. There is nothing to suggest the numbered names are not the proper names, and unless we get proof it is all speculation. If that was not sarcasm, then thanks for agreeing with me. Noname

The maps indicate nothing but the towns' names as One Island, Two Island, and so on. The proof is in the games, they're Knot, Kin, Boon, and so on. TTEchidna 08:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Towns? Don't make me laugh. Half of those can hardly be called towns and the obvious reason why the maps refer them as such is because that's where the pokemon (OMG no capitalization!) centers are located. Also the seagallop takes you to "One Island" not "Knot Island" and really, what is the point of nameing towns as islands? It's illogical, and as I said before, all the characters refer to them as the numbered names. If you look down a little bit, you'll see a quote by Bill calling it one island. Noname There. Is. No. Proof. Only. Speculation.

Name origin?

Nanashima means "seven islands", but what about the vii in the English "Sevii"? Could it be from the Roman numeral VII, seven? --TTEchidna 04:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

East and southeast?

Why east?

Bill says: "There's this little island in the far south called One Island."

Far south, as opposed to east. I've always thought of that as further south than the Orange Islands, so them both being south wouldn't be a problem.

It's because the guidebook artwork has the little ship that takes you to the islands going east, so people tend squabble over whether it's east (like the picture) or south (like the in-game text), so it's just easier to say southeast. --Greengiant 01:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

That's stupid. Why does SeaGallop have to be Sevii-exclusive? There can easily be islands or other landmasses to the east. Does the S.S. Tidal only go to Lilycove and Salteport? No, it also goes to other places, like the Battle Frontier. So, why can't the SeaGallop? I vote that southeast is replaced with south. - Jonah 01:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Personally, I agree. But perhaps there is other evidence I don't know about. --Greengiant 05:48, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
