"In the Pokémon world, Kanto is the eastern region, while Johto is in the west and Hoenn further to the south-west."

We know about Kanto/Johto from GSC. But has Hoenn's location ever been confirmed? My guess is the same as the one in the article, but a guess is not canon. Sonic Mew 16:18, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
My edit is based on a photograph of a poster from Pokémon Centre Tokyo which shows the three regions together. I have been trying for about an hour to re-locate the web site I downloaded the image from, but in vain. In frustration, I have uploaded the image from my hard drive:

I only hope you will see it before it gets deleted, or something.Sinistro 23:05, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You know what's odd? The shape of the Kanto region in Pokemon and the shape of the real Kanto region are really, really, really similar...Hmmm. -Alex 12.220.157.93 12:28, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

You are correct. The geography of the Pokémon world is based quite closely on that of Japan... for instance, Saffron/Tamamushi City is similar to Tokyo. Tony Myers 06:25, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I edited the Kancho for Kanto. In the games, it is referred as Kanto as well as the japanese version

[edit] Template?

I think someone should do a template for the Pokémon regions, with all of the towns in each, because there's getting to be quite a few too many places to keep track of. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Orre, and now Shinto... way many.

There are already templates like that... {{Kanto Towns}}, {{Johto Towns}}, {{Hoenn Towns}}. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 23:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Should "Glitch City" be considered a place? tim.bounceback 12:09 Oct 1 2006

I've moved its link to a "See also" section since it's non-canon. Tony Myers 06:25, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Kanto FrLg.PNG"

Is "Image:Kanto FrLg.PNG" necessary? It's a huge image that loads very slowly and is not necessary as there are several illustrations of Kanto already. Slyth1 00:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Location of Orre (and notability)

I know it's a teensy little thing, but I'll ask anyway. It states in the "Location" paragraph near the beginning that Orre is supossedly north of the Kanto-Johto landmass, as part of it or otherwise. Well, as far as I know, Orre hasn't really been confirmed to be anywhere yet, so I question the notability. Is it that notable for a guess to be on the article? I haven't seen an official merchandise item or heard anywhere in the games that explicitly states that as a fact. It's on other articles too, so my question is: Should it be changed to something along the lines of "Location in reference to Orre is unknown."? It's that on some articles, while others have this. And, uh, I type too much for such a small, trivial thing, no? I guess I'm making more out of a small thing than I should be... Johtoblaziken 21:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
