I don't think anyone should be too offended by it. Its just a representation.

Pretty dark territory for a Pokemon game, but then, I have heard that this one is supposed to be a bit more mature than the others. Guess that seals the deal.

As an American I say good for a company to not compromise their vision just for people who might not like it. Push your vision and never back down.

The new region is supposed to be modeled after New York, and Ground Zero is (unfortunatley) a part of New York. I actually like the commitment the design team has to that idea going as far as to put a version of Ground Zero in game. Plus, I don't really care about it, I wouldn't have noticed unless someone told me. And the game's gonna be great either way.

Pokemon has always had little dark twists, I wouldn't be too surprised if it was based on ground zero :p

I don't think it's worth causing a fuss over though, 911 happened and it's not something we should be forced to forget. As long as they aren't making jokes about it then everything's fine, and it only looks like a vague reference.

This. Most companies backpedal and pussy-foot around things that might be vaguly offensive to... Someone, somewhere, somehow.

Good to see them stick to their guns.

Use what you get.

Pave over the wreckage of GZ and erect some stadium stands around it, now you've got not one but two amazingly awesome pokemon stadiums.
