User blog:Strong Mad/Reasoning why Elmore's location is STILL not confirmed

I am aware that Ben based Elmore off of a town in California. But there's a key phrase, Based off of. Just because it's based off of a California town doesn't mean it really takes place there. To back this up, here are a few examples I've brought up elsewhere along with new ones that further emphasizes the point.

In King of The Hill, Arlen is based off of a Dallas suburb and Arlen is quite a drive from Dallas according to the show.

Springfield from the Simpsons is based off a town in Oregon, but Springfield has no official state.

The town in Diary of a Wimpy Kid takes place in the United States but the film was shot in Surrey and Vancouver BC.

Movies such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Bridge to Terabbithia were shot in New Zealand but didn't take place there.

Various old movies that took place all over the world were shot in studios in Hollywood or in locations in other parts of the world.

Some of you may think the examples aren't strong, but I just talked about The Simpsons, one of the most iconic shows ever. So your argument would basically be invalidated.

Don't get me wrong, I understand where you're all coming from and can believe the possibility of Elmore being in California, but it was never actually confirmed in the show (i.e no time zones used, no landmarks, no state flags).
