Can you link the source of this? The 12 times TP and the various estimations done seem to contradict this.

But like I said in my earlier, post it is much more vertical than most games. 

You should recalculate.

They never mention how they approximated the 1 sq-km per square. Seems like an assumption to me. 

I think it is better to go off what Nintendo has said (twelve times TP) , especially since it has matched all analyses of the map that use different methodology (besides this one.) If they described how they estimated I could comment on whether it was a good estimation or not. Also, it doesn't seem like you could fit 120 of the demo areas into the map, which would be the implication with their area estimates.
