==Backstory==
From various pieces of information and artwork in TCG products, in addition to interviews with game director Atsushi Nagashima,Vazquez, Suriel (September 9, 2018). "Trade Secrets: The Making Of A Pokémon Card." Game Informer (Archived May 18, 2024.)"Pokémon Trading Card Game: Enjoyed Around the World" on Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Contest 2022 it can be determined that these areas are similar due to being from . At some point, several rifts in space revealed the existence of the opposing worlds to each other: the "nature" and "technology" sides as seen in the , and expansions. These worlds were at the brink of merging against each other, creating a struggle between Pokémon from both sides. This could be related to Giovanni, as the Giovanni's Scheme card has the two color schemes of the Parallel City card. In Fates Collide, however, the struggle is replaced with themes of unification through 's future vision and the enforcement of order by and other Pokémon.
==Geography==
While one world's lifestyle focused on ruralism and rustic architecture, the other focused in urbanism and the foundation of modern buildings, even expanding to previously arid lands. There is a similar city in these worlds on the shore of an ocean, both having an island portion connected to the mainland by a series of bridges. A giant tree exists in the "nature" world's island, while a group of skyscrapers is in its place on the "urban" counterpart.
After the rifts, some areas of these worlds featured portals which could be crossed through, the regions artistically seen on the Stadium cards as being upside down from the opposing world's point of view. The in Fates Collide appears to be the fallout of the merged areas: a single world/city where buildings and nature blended on eachother, creating a mix of the two worlds' styles.
