Seven regions have appeared in the [[core series]] of Pokémon games. They are, in order of appearance, [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]. Each region has been the setting of at least two games in the generation in which it debuts. | Seven regions have appeared in the [[core series]] of Pokémon games.

Most regions are structured similarly. Typically, a region has its own [[Pokémon League]], comprised of eight [[Gym Leader]]s. Once these eight are defeated, Trainers can challenge the regional [[Elite Four]], which may or may not be shared with another, nearby region (so far, Johto does not have its own Elite Four, as it shares it with that of Kanto). Alola does not have gyms but instead host the [[Island Challenge]] and only created their own Pokémon League only recently. Accordingly, each one also has a [[Pokémon Professor]], who teaches new Trainers about Pokémon and gives out [[starter Pokémon]] to them. There is usually a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] operating within the region that use Pokémon to further their goals. | |||
Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon|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, distance and location; and in the culture of the people there. | Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon|legends]] there are waiting to be uncovered.

In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Professor Oak]] explains that [[Sinnoh]], [[Kanto]], and [[Hoenn]] (and probably [[Johto]] and others) are part of a larger [[Pokémon nation|country]], whose name has yet to be revealed.

Unova, Kalos, and Alola are known to be located far away from Kanto and Johto, and as such they may not be part of this country. | ||
