The designs of seven of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova and Alola are based on parts of the {{wp|United States}} and Kalos is based on {{wp|France}}. It is stated that the inspiration for [[Orre]] is {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona}}. | The designs of seven of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations.
