The Pokémon world looks and acts like the real world in terms of Geography. Each have landforms, oceans of water and temperatures to support life meaning that the Pokémon World is about the same size and same distances from the sun as the real world. However, if the Pokémon world is ''not'' Earth, it must be similar, having a similar {{wp|moon}}, similar climates, and so on, which explains the similar tides. Many different theories exist as to exactly how the Pokémon world relates to our own. | The Pokémon world looks and acts like the real world in terms of Geography.

A point of interest, unlike the real world is that peoples links with the nature are strong and they never try to effect the natural environment, with the exception of some [[villainous teams]]. Some Pokémon such as {{p|Groundon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} can affect and shape nature causing unexplainable droughts, storms and effect the continent plates causing earthquakes. | ||

The Pokémon World is split into four regions, [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]. These regions are large landforms much like continents in the real world, that support a large political [[region]]. Off these regions are islands that are not part of any region. These islands are grouped together to create one small region like the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] and the [[Sevii Islands]]. Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what legends there are waiting to be uncovered. Visitors from another region quickly realize that the region they are visiting is far from their home, both in the way of the climate, and in the culture of the people there. The regions are generally thought to be part of a larger country because of the term [[National Dex]], but they are all perhaps part of a {{wp|world nation}}. There are only four offical regions, yet others such as [[Orre]] and [[Fiore]] have been introduced in other games. | The Pokémon World is split into four regions, [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

Most regions have different climates. Regions and islands like the [[Hoenn]] and the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] lower down in the Pokémon world have a warmer climate than northerly regions, possibly due to an {{wp|equator}}, much like on {{wp|earth}} in the real world. It gets so hot in the Hoenn there is a | [[Image:Diamond Dust.gif|thumb|right|Diamond dust twinkles in Snowpoint.]] | ||

It gets so hot in the Hoenn there is a desert with a raging sandstorm. Meanwhile, the [[Sinnoh]] region is cooler than other regions, and becoming colder due to climate change in the region. It is snowing constantly in the northern area of the Sinnoh. Some Pokémon such as {{p|Groundon}}, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Castform}} can affect climate and weather. | |||
Weather conditions still applies in the Pokémon world, and as cloud and [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]] still exist, the {{wp|water cycle}} must exist. Many weather conditions that are appear on the earth, are also in the Pokemon world, such as [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]], [[Weather conditions#Hailstorm|hailstorms]], [[Weather conditions#On the field#Snow/Hail|snow]], [[Weather conditions#Fog|fog]] and [[Weather conditions#Sandstorm|sandstorm]]. | |||
===Environment=== | |||
The natural environment in the Pokémon world is much simarlar to the real earth's environment. Areas with a high density of trees make up forests, landscapes that receives very little precipitation create deserts, while loose broken up, particles of rock make large coast beaches attracting people and Pokémon alike. The [[Hoenn]] and the [[Sinnoh]] region boasts many dramatic environments from rainforests to deserts. | |||

The Pokémon world is mainly green and lush based on factors such as plant structures (such as trees, shrubs, and grasses). Grass is usually uncontrolled and grow tall making [[tall grass|tall grass patches]] that form prime habitats for [[wild Pokémon]]. There are also large mountainous areas that tower above low lying land areas. The largest mountain range is [[Mt. Coronet]] that stretches from the top of Sinnoh to the bottom of Sinnoh, splitting the whole region into two sides. Human and natural occurrences form caves in the mountainsides that are able to be explored or passed through to get to other cities. Many natural phenomenons appear in the Pokémon world such as snowing ash that covers the area is caused by the nearby volcano that smokes and rains down on the area. | |||
Humans and nature in the Pokémon world are linked to each other, as many towns are built around its environment and they never try to effect the natural environment. [[Pacifidlog Town]], for example, is built on wooden rafts and logs that float on top of a {{p|Corsola}} colony, while [[Sootopolis City]] is built in the crater of the hollowed volcano that erupted, dwelling there for its warm, fresh water. An ecosystem is formed when all plants, Pokémon and people in an area functioning together with all of the non-living physical factors of the environment. | |||
