Seven regions have appeared in the [[core series]] of Pokémon games. They are, in order of appearance, [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]. Each region has been the setting of at least two games in the generation in which it debuts. | Seven regions have appeared in the [[core series]] of Pokémon games.

Most regions are structured similarly. Typically, a region has its own [[Pokémon League]] which includes eight [[Gym Leader]]s. Once these eight are defeated, Trainers can challenge the regional [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} (except Johto, which shares the [[Indigo League]] with Kanto). Alola does not have Gyms but instead hosts the [[island challenge]] and only recently created a Pokémon League. Each region also has a [[Pokémon Professor]] who teaches new Trainers about Pokémon and typically gives out [[starter Pokémon]] to them. There is usually a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] operating within the region that uses Pokémon to further its goals. | Most regions are structured similarly.

Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon|legends]] there are waiting to be uncovered. Visitors from another region quickly realize that the region they are visiting is far from their home, both in the way of the climate, distance and location; and in the culture of the people there. | Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon|legends]] there are waiting to be uncovered.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] takes place in a world that is populated solely by Pokémon; humans do not live there. The world has six continents, with many Pokémon found in dungeons, but also towns in which Pokémon live, including [[Pokémon Square]], [[Treasure Town]], [[Post Town]], and [[Lively Town]]. 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 [[team|exploration teams]] live and learn the basics, while the [[Expedition Society]] serves a similar role for expedition teams. 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 world that is populated solely by Pokémon; humans do not live there.

[[Pokémon Snap]] is set on [[Pokémon Island]], an isolated reserve home to many species of Pokémon. It appears to have a relationship with the [[Kanto]] region of the core series, as [[Professor Oak]] appears to have some authority over the island. [[Pokkén Tournament]] takes place in the [[Ferrum]] region, which seems to be located somewhere in the core series Pokémon world, as [[Cinnabar Island]] is mentioned in the game. [[Pokémon Quest]] takes place on [[Tumblecube Island]], which is inhabitited by numerous cube-shaped Pokémon. It seems to have connections to the core series Pokémon world, as the [[Silph Co.]] is mentioned at one point. [[Pokémon Channel]] is set in [[Mintale Town]], which is inhabited by many species of Pokémon. Humans may live there too; there is at least one suburban area. [[Holon]] and the [[Trading Card Game Islands]] appear in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|eponymous video games]]. The relationship of these regions with the others is unclear. | [[Pokémon Snap]] is set on [[Pokémon Island]], an isolated reserve home to many species of Pokémon.
