Battle Zone: Difference between revisions

Just gave some information on its "status" as a region. There's some hinting that it's its own place, but since it was outright stated to be part of Sinnoh as of B2W2, I'm moving the mention of said hints to Trivia. c:

The '''Battle Zone''' (Japanese: '''バトルゾーン''' ''Battle Zone'') is a sub-region of [[Sinnoh]] located on a separate island northeast of the region's mainland. Although the Battle Zone is one of several islands that comprise the Sinnoh region, it is heavily implied by many of the island's inhabitants that it is a different region altogether, not unlike how the [[Sevii Islands]] are considered a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

Three settlements are located in the Battle Zone: the [[Fight Area]], which holds the entrance to the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|IV}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} in {{game|Platinum}}; the [[Resort Area]], where one can find the [[Ribbon Syndicate]]; and finally the [[Survival Area]], home in Platinum to the [[Battleground]] and a [[Move Tutor]]'s home. Six of Sinnoh's 30 [[route]]s, numbered {{rtn|225|Sinnoh}}-{{rtn|230|Sinnoh}}, are on the island, with both {{rt|226|Sinnoh}} and {{rt|230|Sinnoh}} being [[water route]]s.

==Trivia==
* While it is heavily implied by many of the Battle Zone's inhabitants that the island is a separate region from [[Sinnoh]], not unlike how the [[Sevii Islands]] are considered a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], a [[Hiker_(Trainer_class)|Hiker]] in the [[Pokémon Center]] of [[Lentimas Town]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} states that [[Stark Mountain]], a part of the Battle Zone, is in the Sinnoh region.
