They are located far south of the Kanto mainland, and are home to several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]]: {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}. | ||
The main islands' only game appearance was in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but the two event-exclusive islands, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], later appeared in {{game|Emerald}}. The Sevii Islands also appear in other media based on these games. | |||

Ember]], which is located on [[One Island]]. This appears to have been overlooked by the translation team, and the English dub named the mountain "Mount Magma". The episode dealt with the appearance and attempted capture of {{p|Moltres}}, which roosts at the top of Mt. Ember in FireRed and LeafGreen. A reference to the [[S.S. Anne]] is made in the course of the episode; apparently the vessel used to travel there. | ||

==Name origin== | ==Origin== | ||
The name possibly combines the number ''seven'' and the Roman numeral for seven, ''VII''. The Japanese name ''Nanashima'' literally means "seven islands". According to an old woman on [[ | The Sevii Islands archipelago corresponds to the real-life {{wp|Izu Islands}} and {{wp|Bonin Islands}}. One through Five Island as well as Navel Rock are based on the Izu Islands, while Six and Seven Island correspond to {{wp|Chichijima}} and {{wp|Hahajima}} in the Bonin, and Birth Island corresponds to {{wp|Minami-Tori-shima}} (an island grouped administratively with the Bonin Islands, but not considered to be a part of them geographically). | ||
===Name origin=== | |||
The name possibly combines the number ''seven'' and the Roman numeral for seven, ''VII''. The Japanese name ''Nanashima'' literally means "seven islands". According to an old woman on [[Seven Island]], they were named the Sevii Islands not because there are seven (two event items reveal there are in fact nine), but because they were made in seven days. | |||
