Kanto

Kanto lies east of Johto which together they make up a small continent. South of Kanto are the Sevii and Orange Islands. Hoenn is further to the southwest of Kanto. North of the continent is the Sinnoh region. Unova, Kalos, and Alola are considerably far from Kanto.

## Geography

The Kanto region has a very temperate climate and not many notable landscape features, though this may be due to the region's origins.

The majority of the Kanto region are forests and plains. Many of the major Kanto cities are in the center of the region, with close access to virtually every environment such as the sea, mountains, forests, etc. Kanto is mostly dominated by land, but has a large bay in the middle which opens to a sea in the southwest.

Kanto has a contrast between urban cities and rural towns. Cinnabar Island is unique in a way that it is built on top of a mountain. The rest of Kanto's cities and towns are generic. Kanto has several mountain ranges, which are mostly in northern and western Kanto. Indigo Plateau and Victory Road mountain range divides Kanto from the neighboring Johto region.

## Routes

The routes within Kanto are numbered from 1 to 25. Routes 26, 27, and 28 connect to Johto.

## Transportation

You can travel from Kanto to Johto by either the S.S Aqua, the Magnet Train, or if you're feeling brave surfing the waters yourself. If you're feeling really adventurous, and you plan your dates right, you could even set sail on the S.S Anne which stops once a year at Vermilion City, and travels all over the world! If you want to head to the Orange Islands while having your own mini vacation, taking the S.S Aqua Deluxe will do that for you.
