'''Almia''' (Japanese: '''アルミア地方''' ''Almia-chihō'') is the setting of [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. The region is similar to [[Fiore]], in that [[Pokémon Ranger (Ranger series)|Pokémon Rangers]] are present instead of Trainers.


==Locations==
==Design concept==
Below are the so far known locations of Almia.  
Almia appears to be based on the {{wp|Oshima Subprefecture|Oshima}} and {{wp|Hiyama Subprefecture|Hiyama}} subprefectures of {{wp|Hokkaido}}, the real life inspiration for the [[Sinnoh]] region.
===Towns/Cities===
 
* [[Chicole Village]]  - A village in the south of the region. The character's family resides here.
==Geography==
Almia introduces a vast selection of different geographical elements, such as [[Boyleland|a volcanic island]], [[Haruba Desert|a desert]] and [[Hia Valley|a valley]] that is constantly covered in ice. It seems to be based on the "tailpiece" of Hokkaido, which [[Sinnoh]] region is based on, though the relation between the two is unknown. It also geographically resembles Greece and Turkey, but the relationship between them is also unknown.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The Haruba Desert and nearby volcano in the eastern section of Almia may or may not be connected to [[Orre]], as mountains and deserts are what the Orre region is primarily made of. Fans have speculated on the extent of this connection.
* Almia could be located South of [[Sinnoh]], considering the shape of the region when compared to the inaccessible "tail" end of Sinnoh. This can be supported by the fact that Sinnoh is analogous to the real-world Hokkaido and if Sinnoh's geography is compared to that of the real Hokkaido, it appears to be missing a tail-like piece of land that Hokkaido has at its southwest, which Almia's geography bears a very strong resemblance to.
** It could also possibly be located just south of [[Sinnoh]], considering the shape of the region when compared to the inaccessible "tail" end of Sinnoh. This can be supported by the fact that Sinnoh is analogous to the real-world Hokkaido and if Sinnoh's geography is compared to that of the real Hokkaido, it appears to be missing a tail-like piece of land that Hokkaido has at its southwest, which Almia's geography bears a very strong resemblance to.
