Regions

Regions are areas in the Pokémon universe and the main location in various games, anime and manga. Each region has their own Pokémon Professor, who provides a unique set of starter Pokémon for young Trainers. Each region also has a unique set of eight Gym Leaders, along with the regional Elite Four and Pokémon Champions. In some cases, regions can share Elite Four divisions, such as Johto and Kanto. 
Currently, in the main series of games and anime, there are ten known regions: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Hisui, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar and Paldea. Additionally, in the Pokémon side games, seven other regions are currently known: Orre, Fiore, Almia, Ransei, Ferrum, Oblivia, Pasio and Lental. In the Pokémon anime series and manga, a group of islands called the Orange Islands have been called a region. The Orange Islands are located south of Kanto, though this region has never been seen in any game. Kitakami is also a distinct region, but only appears as part of the Teal Mask DLC in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
==Main series ==
===Kanto===
Kanto was the first region to be introduced in the game series, featured in the Red, Blue and Yellow games along with the Generation III remakes and the Generation VII remakes. It is also accessible in the latter portion of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal after defeating the Elite Four. It is based off the Kantō region of Japan.
Like most regions, there is a theme regarding the names of towns and cities in Kanto. Most locations in Kanto are named after a color. The regional Pokémon professor is Professor Oak, who resides in Pallet Town.
