* Kanto | [[File:GenI JA Kanto Town Map Reference.png|thumb|right|"A map of the Kanto region!<br>I hope she gives it to me..."]] | ||
* Until the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Kanto's name was seen only once in the Japanese [[Generation I]] games: upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at {{ga|Blue}}'s house. It was never mentioned in the Generation I games outside of Japan, and thus many fans assumed the region was called "Indigo", based on the name of the [[Indigo Plateau]]. By the time the [[Generation III]] remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, were released, Kanto's name was firmly established and appeared regularly in-game. | |||
* Kanto is the only main [[region]] which has been featured in two separate {{pkmn|anime}} [[series]], once at the start of {{Ash}}'s journey (in the {{series|original}}), and once after Ash returned from [[Hoenn]] (in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}). | |||
** Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, after Ash defeated [[Maylene]] and [[Crasher Wake]] (not to mention just before Ash challenges [[Fantina]]), it was also the only region in the anime where Ash defeated the [[Gym Leader]]s in a different order from the games. | |||
** It is also the only region thus far to feature [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|an element]] that was actually in a different region in the games. This may have been done to simultaneously promote {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}. | |||
* Kanto is mentioned during the event in which {{player}}s capture {{p|Shaymin}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. [[Professor Oak]] states that somewhere in the Kanto region there is a white rock similar to the one at the north end of {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]], although no such rock appears in any of Kanto's appearances. | |||
* Kanto has certain traits that generally separates it from other [[region]]s: | |||
** It is the only region in the [[Pokémon world]] that shares its name with {{wp|Kantō region|the real-world region}} it was based on. | |||
** It is also the only region where the [[Pokémon League]] is located to the west of every Gym. | |||
** Kanto and [[Johto]] are the only regions that are connected to each other by land. | |||
** Kanto holds the most [[fossil]]s out of the six regions introduced, having three. Of the other regions, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos have two each, while Johto and Alola have none. | |||
* In [[Generation I]], Kanto was slightly redesigned twice after its initial appearance: signposts, doors, and other minor details, along with certain locations, such as [[Cerulean Cave]], were changed between {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], and then again between Pocket Monsters Blue and {{game3|Yellow|Pocket Monsters Pikachu}}. The international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} reused the tilesets and other graphics from Pocket Monsters Blue, while international {{game|Yellow}} featured the same design as its original Japanese release. | |||
** However, it would be the original design from {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} that was ultimately reused in Kanto's [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] appearances. | |||
* Kanto has appeared in the most games and [[generation]]s to date, having appeared in ten games (eleven in Japan and four in South Korea) over the course of four generations. | |||
** {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}}, [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and {{game|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]]; | ** {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}}, [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and {{game|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]]; | ||
** {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} in [[Generation II]]; | ** {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} in [[Generation II]]; | ||
** {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in [[Generation III]]; | ** {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in [[Generation III]]; | ||
** {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in [[Generation IV]]. | ** {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in [[Generation IV]]. | ||
