The regions in the side series differ dramatically from the regions in the main series such as Johto and Sinnoh. Regions like [[Fiore]] and [[Almia]] are much smaller and have different cultures. They prefer Pokémon as pets instead of tools for battling. [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are not present in the regions. Pokémon are not kept inside [[Poké Ball]]s and wild Pokémon can be seen wandering cities as well as routes. Pokémon Rangers act as authority, helping Pokémon and people in need. There are no individual gyms, an Elite Four or a Champion. However, Rangers can take the Capture Challenge to test their skills. Despite their peaceful natures, there is however, [[villainous teams]] that operate within both regions that capture and use Pokémon to further their goals of world domination. [[Team Dim Sun|One such villainous team]] has been know to brainwash Pokémon using their [[Gigaremo units|advanced technology]], causing them to lose their memories and wreak havoc. | The regions in the side series differ dramatically from the regions in the main series such as Johto and Sinnoh.

[[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] both take place in the [[Orre]] region. This region is mostly covered by a vast desert, a small green area to the west, and a large sea on it's southern border (assumed to be how the region keeps in physical contact with the other regions). The region has many towns and other locations, but due to wastelands there are no connecting routes between the locations, so trainers have to make use of hover-bikes and other vehicles to traverse the region. Most locations (such as [[Pyrite Town]]) give off a post apocalyptic feel, mostly made up of old building and machine parts, while other locations (such as [[Agate Village]] and [[Phenac City]]) sport a more serene look and feel.

Most locations (such as [[Pyrite Town]]) give off a post apocalyptic feel, mostly made up of old building and machine parts, while other locations (such as [[Agate Village]] and [[Phenac City]]) sport a more serene look and feel. Although the region feels old and beaten, it makes use of advanced technology not seen in other regions, such as hover-vehicles and the highly advanced [[Snag Machine]], which allows the user to capture a Pokémon that a trainer has already captured. While this region is very similar to the main series regions it has a few noticeable differences. Battles are, for the most part, almost always conducted in double-battles. Wild Pokémon are scarce due to the region's harsh environment, so trainers usually have their Pokémon imported from other regions (primarily Hoenn and Johto). In Pokémon Colosseum there are only three wild Pokémon to be shown, but in Pokémon XD trainers may encounter a limited number of wild Pokémon through the use of [[Poké Spot]]s. There doesn't seem to be any form of a Pokémon League in this region, and instead of gyms the region boasts a large amount of Colosseum type stadiums that battles take place in; but Michael wanting to start his Pokémon journey when he came of age seems to indicate that there may be some form of a Pokémon League present. The main focus of the two games that take place in this region are [[Shadow Pokémon]], Pokémon who have had their hearts artificially sealed to make them more aggressive and powerful. Through use of the Snag Machine, [[Wes]] and [[Michael]] have to capture (snag) these Shadow Pokémon and purify their hearts to stop the evil plans of [[Team Snagem]] and [[Cipher]], the two criminal organizations of the region. | ||
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series takes place in a region that is populated solely by Pokémon; humans do not live there. Most Pokémon live in dungeons, as there is shown to be hardly any modernized communities among Pokémon themselves. The only towns shown are [[Pokémon Square]], [[Treasure Town]], and [[Shaymin Village]], all of which are very small. Some of the Pokémon within them form exploration teams that explore dungeons and help Pokémon in need. There is an associated federation similar to the Ranger Union in Fiore and Almia that organizes all activities for rescue and exploration teams. The [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]] is where beginning exploration teams live and learn the basics. The [[Makuhita Dojo]] and [[Marowak Dojo]]s are places somewhat similar to Gyms in the main regions where exploration teams hone their skills. | The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series takes place in a region that is populated solely by Pokémon; humans do not live there.
