Location
Location of Resort Area in Sinnoh.
|
The Resort Area (Japanese: リゾートエリア Resort Area) is a small, town-like area on the northeastern island of Sinnoh. This area is home to the Ribbon Syndicate, and there is no Poké Mart or similar establishment here. This is probably due to the fact that Poké Marts focus on typical Pokémon battling and therefore serve no useful purpose in a place that centers around Coordinators and Super Contests. In fact, there is an Ace Trainer by the Pokémon Center who asks "If there's no shop here, how am I meant to stock up on items?"
Places of interest
Ribbon Syndicate
- Main article: Ribbon Syndicate
The Ribbon Syndicate is a difficult to miss building with its large size and giant decorative Ribbon over the doorway. A Coordinator must have at least 10 different kinds of Ribbons spread among their current party to gain access to the building. One of the notable things 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 $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 friendly. They can only accept five members a day and a Trainer who receives a massage may not receive another until the next day.
Villa
- Main article: Villa
In Pokémon Platinum, when the player arrives at the Resort Area, they will be shown into a house of their own. It can be then used similarly to a Secret Base. It will, however, also be visited by others like the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, Professor Rowan, his assistant, the player's rival, Champion Cynthia, and the player's mom.
Demographics
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
The population of the Resort Area is 11, excluding the Ribbon Syndicate, in which case it would be 19. This makes it the smallest town in the Battle Zone and one of the smallest in Sinnoh overall.
Pokémon Platinum

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In the Platinum arc, Platinum sets up her new base at the Villa in the Resort Area, previously owned by Steven. Despite the Resort Area's tropical setting also being depicted in this canon, Platinum arrives here in her winter clothing.
Trivia
- The Resort Area is the location of both the highest and lowest leveled wild Pokémon in any Pokémon game—Magikarp. The level 1 Magikarp is tied with the Snowpoint Temple's Regigigas in Platinum and the Nature Preserve's level 1 Magikarp and Gyarados for lowest leveled wild Pokémon; the level 100 Magikarp is tied with the Nature Preserve's level 100 Magikarp and Gyarados for the highest leveled wild Pokémon.
Name origin
The name may refer to the fact that this area is very peaceful, as well as the fact that the Ribbon Syndicate, into which only very skilled Coordinators can enter, is located here.
