Lt. Surge, the Unovan Gym Leader?
When Unova was first introduced as a Pokémon region for Generation V in 2010, fans were quick to headcanon that Surge was from Unova. He canonically hails from "America," which is an archaism from when Pokémon regions directly corresponded with real-world locations, (dropped in Generation II.) This is fanon, however, and regions such as Orre, (directly based off of Phoenix, Arizona while Unova was based off of New York City,) mean that Unova isn't the only option for headcanoning the region he was born in. When he is from Unova, he may be from Nimbasa City, since that city also has an Electric-type specialist gym leader, Elesa.
