New places, new Pokémon, new adventures... So what's this really all about, huh? Well, to put it bluntly; Minami is the end result of a lot of unpaid work fun. Here's just a little page so visitors can hopefully get their head around everything.
Minami is the Japanese word for South. Likewise, the (completely unofficial and deliberately non-canon-oriented) island called Minami in the Pokémon world is located south. Technically it's pronounced incorrectly - Minami in Japanese is meant to be MI-na-mi, but I use mi-NA-mi instead, to differentiate.
Getting to the region of Minami takes a little while longer then from Kanto to... Hoenn, say. It's located in the Southern Hemisphere (if there wasn't such a thing in the Pokémon world, there is now!) and is a bit of a seafaring trek if you decide to Surf there.
You might be interested as to why I chose 'Minami' rather than the more popular island names with 'toh/to' at the end of them. Back then, when the island didn't have a name yet, I was still young and stupid, and thought that Kanto was the Japanese word for 'East', and Johto: 'West'. But that was before I'd done any Japanese lessons, so... be nice to me. Anyway; this is why when I decided to stick the island down south, I looked in a tiny Japanese dictionary and saw that Minami was 'South', and the name has pretty much stuck since then.
Yes, sorry to break it to you; this is just another annoying site dedicated to fake Pokémon and their respective fake location, along with stories about past and present. (With any luck, I'll have enough time to branch out with other content in the menu, but we'll see...)
