I think they already said it was exactly like NYC: Ground Zero and all, despite the "change" in origin. I also think they just wanted to pay homage to current day NYC, and that, sadly, is part of its current state - I don't think they meant any harm.
Why would they catch flack for it?
Its something that happened. Lots of games worked around ground zero because they had New York (MGS2) or a simulated version of such an attack planned (GTA3) just before the terrorist attack happened and for years afterward its something developers have had to acknowledge.
There are bigger and more fair issues to have with what's going on with the real Ground Zero these days. Ground Zero or a variation of it in a game? Meh.

Unless the team has actually said this is supposed to be Ground Zero, I highly doubt it. I mean, seriously, just look at how many games out of Japan involve a major city suffering some sort of devastating attack. Hell, Tokyo gets blown up in about half the series out there. I think this is more indicative of a common Japanese trope than anything else.
A super, incredible, monster stretch to say that a desert, created by a meteor strike positioned next to a big city that is kind of like New York, is analogous to 9/11.
Still, lol @ the idea of fanatical Voltorbs self-destructing in the Pokemon Trade Center.

Just wait until they find out that there is a Poke-Mosque two blocks from it in the game.
If this actually turns into a large-scale complaint, I think I will have to retire from thinking.

Whist I doubt even think it has the game has anything to do with GZ. Anyone who thinks it is and is bashing it stinks of double standards.
Its fine to play FPS games shooting arabs, nazis and anyone else non american who'll make the plot intresting and taking no heed to those RL victims. But when it comes to american victims everyone is expected to walk on egg shells

In future Faux News reports. "The priests where right pokemon are evil, see you should have listened to us" shakes head at the future.
It wouldn't bother if it was. I'm being insensitive or anything, it's just that it happened so far back, I don't think about it much, and I wasn't affected by it much either.
I'm more interested in how the fuck you get into that castle at the top left of that area. The stairs down are blocked and I am confused.
this is just divine in-game retribution for humans and their use of fighting animals against animals to settle our human problems.

... it's a meteor site. Thats it. How people have made the connection to 9/11 is absolutely beyond me.
Fucking hell, people are just ridiculous in the head sometimes.

Some broken buildings =/= ground zero. I was playing Fallout and there were some broken buildings. Oh no! 9/11 changed everything!!!!!
No.
Its a dessert.
I mean, if there was a dessert where hiroshima would have landed, I sieriously doubt anyone in America would say anything

I will laugh if/when this catches attention and stirs up controversy.
Then again, maybe Homefront will draw attention away from it, who knows?

I had to lol, after i noticed this is referring to the WTC. When i first read "ground zero" and saw the desert i thought about an h-bomb ground zero or something. From the looks of it i think they are in fact reffering to a bombs ground zero.
I seriously hope is a virtual representation of Ground Zero, just to see the reaction it would get. I wish they were blatant about it too, because then there WOULD be a reaction, which would be funny.
But when you think about it for a second (actually you might not even have to think at all) it's like, who even cares.

Well, that's a bit in poor taste, terrorist attack or not.
Speaking of poor taste, maybe they picked on New York's Ground Zero because they got sick and tired of blowing up Tokyo in their anime.
