The geography of Kalos varies greatly within the region. The region is naturally bordered by a vast ocean to the west and northwest, and the eastern and southern borders are formed by mountain ranges. These borders give the region its signature star-like shape, as a large peninsula reaches out to the sea in the northwest, creating one point, and elsewhere the coastline, mountain ranges and rivers create the remaining four points. Kalos is made up of three distinct divisions, all with their own unique characteristics in both geography and Pokémon: Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos and Mountain Kalos. The bustling [[Lumiose City]] is located near the point where all three divisions meet. | The geography of Kalos varies greatly within the region.

Central Kalos is located in the centric and southern parts of the region. The area is dominated by large forested plains with multiple rivers crossing it, with very few changes in elevation. Several towns are surrounded by walls of some sort, and there are also many old castles and {{wp|château}}s. Many important human settlements and landmarks are located here, such as [[Vaniville Town]], [[Santalune City]], a portion of Lumiose City, and the [[Parfum Palace]]. | Central Kalos is located in the centric and southern parts of the region.
