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.

Regions in the {{pkmn|anime}} are much larger then their game counterparts. The regions are shown a number of cities and towns that are [[List of anime locations by region|not present in the games]]. In some cases, some areas are moved to a different region from their game counterparts. For example, the [[Hoenn]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in {{game|Emerald}} was not in [[Hoenn]] in the anime. It was located in [[Kanto]], with the different facilities scattered all over the region rather being located on an island. | Regions in the {{pkmn|anime}} are much larger then their game counterparts.

The [[Orange Archipelago]] breaks the standard formula for a region, with only four gyms and no Pokémon League. This truncated version of events is likely due to the Orange Islands being a [[filler episode|"filler" arc]] while Nintendo prepared the release of the [[Generation II|second generation]] of Pokémon. | ||
