Hoenn: Difference between revisions

The '''Hoenn''' region (Japanese: '''{{tt|ホウエン地方|ホウエンちほう}}''' ''Hoenn-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located south of [[Sinnoh]]<!--AG187-->. It is the setting of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]]. It is inspired by the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}. The names of most of the cities in Hoenn are made of two words put together (Little Root, Fort Tree, Slate Port, Ever Grande, etc.) rather than colors or plants as [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] had done. [[Professor Birch]] of [[Littleroot Town]] offers the [[starter Pokémon]] known as {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s beginning their journey of this vast land.

In contemporary history, {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} moved to [[Littleroot Town]] in Hoenn from [[Johto]]. Brendan/May encountered May/Brendan, competing with Brendan/May to complete the Pokédex. Brendan/May saved [[Professor Birch]] from a Poochyena{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/Zigzagoon{{sup/3|E}} with a {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, or {{p|Treecko}} from Professor Birch's bag; as a reward for saving him, he gave Brendan/May a [[Pokédex]] and allowed him/her to keep the Pokémon that he/she used to save him. Brendan/May traveled across Hoenn, occasionally encountering and defeating [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]. Team Magma{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and/or Team Aqua{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} successfully awakened {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and/or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}, which caused the region of Hoenn to be plagued by {{weather|harsh sunlight}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}, {{weather|heavy rain}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} or a strange mixture of both{{sup/3|E}}. However, Brendan/May successfully calmed the weather Pokémon when he/she defeated it{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or summoned {{p|Rayquaza}} to calm them{{sup/3|E}}. Brendan/May then proceeded to win at the Pokémon League and become the Champion, and was invited to complete in the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}{{sup/3|E}}.
