many things: corrected IPA; changed run-on sentence to 3 sentences; removed contractions; and used official ** instead of impromptu :* for second-level bullets

The '''Sinnoh''' region (pronounced / | The '''Sinnoh''' region (pronounced /ˈsɪnnoʊ/) (Japanese: '''シンオウ地方''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a [[region]] in the [[Pokémon world]], the setting of the [[Generation IV]] games {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} and the southern part of the Russian island of {{wp|Kunashir}}. The northeastern island near Sinnoh resembles part of the Russian island of {{wp|Sakhalin}}, which is claimed by the Japanese government. According to the {{pkmn|anime}} and in-game references, the Sinnoh region is located north of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] region. | ||

Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from {{rtn|201}} to {{rtn|230}}. Compared to previous generations, there are not many sea routes, but there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]] was also brought ahead from [[Generation III]]. For the first time ever in a Pokémon game, some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them. | ||
Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212}} and {{rt|210}}, which both have two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's {{rt|114}} did this on the [[Game Boy Advance]], it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense. | Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212}} and {{rt|210}}, which both have two limbs of equal length.
