The '''Kanto region''' (Japanese: '''カントー地方''' ''Kantō-chihō'') is a large area located east of [[Johto]]. It is the first region to be introduced, explored in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue]] and [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]] and in the [[Generation III]] games [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]. Kanto is also accessible in the [[Generation II]] games [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver]] and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]] after the quest in Johto is completed. Most of the names of the cities in Kanto are the names of colors (Viridian, Lavender, Indigo Plateau, etc.). [[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon professor]] and gives [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[starter Pokémon]], though in Yellow the only choice is a {{p|Pikachu}} that he recently caught. In the games, the player begins his or her journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends at the [[Indigo Plateau]] to become the [[League Champion]].
