* Until the release of | * Until the release of ''{{game|Gold and Silver|s}}'', Kanto's name was seen only once in the Japanese [[Generation I]] games: upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at {{ga|Blue}}'s house.

By the time the [[Generation III]] remakes, ''{{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'', were released, Kanto's name was firmly established and appeared regularly in-game. | ||
* Kanto is the only main [[region]] which has been featured in two separate {{pkmn|anime}} [[series]], once at the start of {{Ash}}'s journey (in the {{series|original}}), and once after Ash returned from [[Hoenn]] (in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}). | * Kanto is the only main [[region]] which has been featured in two separate {{pkmn|anime}} [[series]], once at the start of {{Ash}}'s journey (in the {{series|original}}), and once after Ash returned from [[Hoenn]] (in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}). | ||

* Kanto is mentioned during the event in which {{player}}s capture {{p|Shaymin}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. [[Professor Oak]] states that somewhere in the Kanto region there is a white rock similar to the one at the north end of {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]], although no such rock appears in any of Kanto's appearances. | * Kanto is mentioned during the event in which {{player}}s capture {{p|Shaymin}} in ''{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}''.

* In [[Generation I]], Kanto was slightly redesigned twice after its initial appearance: signposts, doors, and other minor details, along with certain locations, such as [[Cerulean Cave]], were changed between {{game3|Red and Green|''Pocket Monsters: Red & Green|s}} and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|''Pocket Monsters: Blue'']], and then again between ''Pocket Monsters: Blue'' and {{game3|Yellow|''Pocket Monsters: Pikachu''}}. The international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} reused the tilesets and other graphics from ''Pocket Monsters: Blue'', while international {{game|Yellow}} featured the same design as its original Japanese release. | * In [[Generation I]], Kanto was slightly redesigned twice after its initial appearance: signposts, doors, and other minor details, along with certain locations, such as [[Cerulean Cave]], were changed between {{game3|Red and Green|''Pocket Monsters: Red & Green|s}} and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|''Pocket Monsters: Blue'']], and then again between ''Pocket Monsters: Blue'' and {{game3|Yellow|''Pocket Monsters: Pikachu''}}.
