The designs of nine of the major Pokémon [[region]]s—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]], [[Galar]], and [[Paldea]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and they are sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, Unova and Alola are based on parts of the {{wp|United States}}, Kalos is based on {{wp|France}}, Galar is based on the {{wp|United Kingdom}}, and Paldea is based on the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}, consisting in the countries of {{wp|Spain}}, {{wp|Portugal}} and {{wp|Andorra}}. It is said the inspiration for [[Orre]] is {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona}}. | The designs of nine of the major Pokémon [[region]]s—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]], [[Galar]], and [[Paldea]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and they are sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations.
