A list of puns related to "Kantō Region"
One thing that's been on my mind for a while is how interesting I think it would be if we got another Kanto game but now it's been redesigned a bit to reflect how much the actual Kantō region has changed in the 25 years since Pokemon was released.
It would be an interesting attempt to cater to both the part of the fanbase that only cares about the original generation and those who've been with the series a long time and would like to see something new.
Playing Persona 5 got me wondering what the Pokemon version of something like the Sky Tree could be or if they expand the region, imagine the likes of Akihabara or Shibuya reflected in the game. Even if it'll probably never happen, it's something I'm actually really interested in thinking about.
This is a quick map of the Kantō Region I made to test the polygonal map feature.
Here's a link to the map itself, and here is a link to a 5-minute challenge.

... keep reading on reddit ➡We all know Pokémon games take place in "regions" that are based on real-life locations. For example, Kanto (obviously) was based on the Kantō region in Japan, Johto based on Kansai, Hoenn based on Kyūshū, and Sinnoh based on Hokkaido.
But now in Generation 9, obviously the game will no longer take place in Japan. There is some evidence of these, although I doubt that the games would take place in Italy, Switzerland, or France. (At least that's what my gut feels.)
And here comes the possibility that the new region will be entirely fictitious—it's not based on any real-life places.
Based on my guts >!(yeah I know guts aren't reliable)!<, this will take place in either Asia (SEA or Pacific to be precise).
How about you? Where do you think will Generation 9 take place?
Pokemon regions are all based on real world locations. In the real world, they are all based on:
Kanto = Japan (Kantō region)
Johto = Japan (Kansai region)
Hoenn = Japan (Kyūshū region)
Sinnoh = Japan (Hokkaidō region)
Unova = USA (specifically west coast/New York area for the most part)
Kalos = France
Alola = Hawaii
Galar = UK
Have you been to any of these real world locations the regions are based off of? Personally I've been to Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh and Galar. I grew up in the USA (but don't live there anymore) so maybe I can include Unova as well, though I haven't been to New York or the west coast so I don't know if that counts.
Today is the fifteenth of September! MOASS almost definitely confirmed for today, because either we get a SEC report saying so or GameStop gets a free hand to do whatever it likes! Look what this day brought us over the past years, and just imagine what that day will bring us in 2021! <3

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
We already know, per Ikeda himself, that membership is calculated within Soka Gakkai by households (a plurality even if only ONE person is a SG member) and that SG counts EVERYONE who ever joined without ever adjusting for deaths or defections:
>Ikeda disclosing in an April 1980 interview with "Gendai" magazine that membership totals = total number recruited, without any adjustments for deaths/defections Source
So that "8.27 million households" is just as phony and hyperinflated as claiming "350,000 SGI-USA members" when the active membership is hovering around 36,500. But can we narrow the actual membership number down?
From here:
>1 The most detailed sources for Sōka Gakkai membership numbers are the group’s website and its published public relations materials. See Sōka Gakkai, “Gaiyō,” and its own Sōka gakkai seikatsu hōkoku 創価学会生活報告 issued by the Sōka Gakkai Public Relations Bureau at the organization’s headquarters in Shinanomachi, Tokyo. Assessing the Gakkai membership is otherwise difficult, as Sōka Gakkai does not report its membership to the national government, and its membership statistics do not appear in the Shūkyō nenkan, the annual report on religious affiliation released by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT). Scholars of Japanese religion have pointed to other ways to assess Sōka Gakkai’s membership.
Ah! Let's see what we find!
>Shimazono Susumu cites a survey of 32,000 people in Japan on religious affiliation taken by a research institute within Japan’s national broadcast company NHK in 1978 in which a total of 3.3% of respondents claimed that they were Sōka Gakkai members. This figure appears to have been (and to still be) in line with a realistic assessment of the number of Gakkai adherents in Japan (see Shimazono 2003, 18–19). More recently, Michael Roemer has reassessed quantitative accounts of religious membership in Japan to provide the most sophisticated view to date of individual religious belief in contemporary Japan. He finds that 4.32% of respondents to surveys conducted from 2000 claim to believe in ‘Buddhism,’ 3.19% are followers of a ‘new religion,’ and 1.87% self-identify as Sōka Gakkai adherents (see Roem
