The '''Hoenn | The '''Hoenn''' region (Japanese: '''ホウエン地方''' ''Hōen-chihō'') is a large [[region]] to the southwest of [[Johto]], and resembles the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}. It is the setting of the [[Generation III]] games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The names of most of the cities in Hoenn are made of two words put together (Little Root, Fort Tree, Slate Port, etc.). [[Professor Birch]] of [[Littleroot Town]] offers the Pokémon known as {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} or {{p|Mudkip}} to trainers beginning their journey of this vast land. | ||
Junichi Masuda stated that Hoenn's name comes from 豊縁, ''hōen''. The '''hō''' means "rich", while the '''en''' means "green" in kanji. The region's name may also mean, when read all together, "abundant relations", a common theme in this region is the relationships forged between Pokémon and people. He has also stated the reason why Hoenn is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise is because [[Game Freak]] thought it would bring a better playability. | Junichi Masuda stated that Hoenn's name comes from 豊縁, ''hōen''.
