The '''Resort Area''' (Japanese: '''リゾートエリア''' ''Resort Area'') is a small, town-like area on the [[Battle Zone|northeastern island]] of [[Sinnoh]]. This area is home to the [[Ribbon Syndicate]], and there is no [[Poké Mart]] here nor is there any substitute. This is probably due to the fact that Poké Marts focus on typical Pokémon battling and therefore has little/no custom in a place which centers around {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and [[Pokémon Super Contest|contests]]. In fact, there is an Ace Trainer by the Pokémon Center who states "If there's no shop here, how am I meant to stock up on items?"

The Ribbon Syndicate is difficult to miss building with its large size and giant decorative ribbon over the doorway. A {{pkmn|Coordinator}} must have at least 10 different kinds of [[Ribbon]]s spread among their current {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} party to gain access to the building. One of the notable thing about the syndicate is that they offer incredibly expensive ribbons, which act mostly as signs of status rather than merit, with prices reaching up to {{PDollar}}999,999 for a Royal Gorgeous Ribbon. The syndicate also features a spa on the top floor. A visit to this spa, like grooming in the earlier games, makes a Pokémon more [[happiness|friendly]]. They can only accept five members a day and a trainer who receives a massage may not receive another until the next day.

In {{game|Platinum}}, when the player arrives at the Resort Area, he/she will be shown into a house of his/her own. It can be then used similarly to a [[secret base]]. It will, however, also be visited by others like the [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Professor Rowan]], {{ga|Lucas|his}} {{ga|Dawn|assistant}}, {{ga|Barry|the player's rival}}, and the [[Johanna|player's mom]].

The population of Resort Area is 11, excluding the [[Ribbon Syndicate]], in which case it would be 19.

* The Resort Area is, as of {{game|Platinum}}, the only place where there are non-glitch Pokémon available to capture at [[level]]s above 80.

** It is also one of two places where a Pokémon can be caught at [[level]] 1, the other being [[Snowpoint Temple]].
