[[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] and gives [[Pokémon Trainer]]s a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. In [[Pokémon Yellow]], the only choice is a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] that he recently caught, although he did have an {{p|Eevee}}. In [[Let's Go, Pikachu!]], the player chooses Pikachu. In [[Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player chooses Eevee. In the games, the player begins their journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends it at [[Indigo Plateau]].

Kantō and {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}} are the two most populous areas of {{wp|Honshū}}, the largest island of Japan, and much like Kanto and Johto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The differences are most noticeable in the games while talking to the inhabitants of both regions. Compared to traditional Kansai, on which Johto is based, Kanto is modern and technological. This may be reflected in the look of the cities and the buildings, such as the Pokémon Lab of Cinnabar Island and the Power Plant. While Kanto is the centerpoint for innovation, with the [[Poké Ball|Poké Ball's]] ultimate upgrade, the [[Master Ball]], having been recently invented by [[Silph Co.]] at the time of [[Generation I]], it is also the only Pokémon region without any myths related to Pokémon.

The Kanto region includes 28 different routes, which act as roads to cities and towns or points of interest. The Johto region follows Kanto's route number which ends at {{rt|28|Kanto}} in the Kanto region and begins with Johto's {{rt|29|Johto}}. Unlike other regions, Kanto does not have routes featuring any sort of weather conditions, such as [[Hoenn]]'s {{rt|119|Hoenn}} which rains and thunders constantly and [[Sinnoh]]'s {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} in which hail regularly falls. The Kanto region seems to have the most temperate climate of the [[Region|nine main regions]].

According to [[Professor Oak]], a stone tablet was discovered in Kanto, like the one that is able to summon {{p|Shaymin}} on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]]. This is mentioned during the event in which {{player}}s {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{p|Shaymin}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but the Kanto stone tablet is not seen in any game.
