The 'wild wood' is an ancient trope for most world cultures except those from desert regions. You see similar locations in European, American and Asian mythology. Just look at the number of 'haunted/wild' forests in Lord of the Rings, for example. Then compare it to every single forested area in the Pokémon games.
