Pokemonhas given players several iconic regions throughout the franchise.
In many ways, these regions serve as a time capsule for the game in which they were released.
These regions are, in many ways, a reflection of thePokemongeneration they represent.
Which one of your favorites will stand out?
Which region has the most appeal objectively overall?
Among these are regions that feature belovedPokemonand many memorable characters.
Here isPokemon Scarlet and Violet: Every Pokemon Region, Ranked.
That is why Paldea takes up the ninth spot on our list.
The region has many different biomes and various manufactured locations sprinkled throughout.
Adding to the effect of being surrounded byPokemon,this region incorporatesPokemonin various locations throughout the wilderness.
So if you are walking through Paldea, you will likely see somePokemongrazing about through the region’s plains.
Or maybe you will see an aquaticPokemonnear one of Paldea’s lakes.
So altogether, this region, at least as far as we can tell, has quite a variety.
This region features many different types of landscapes, with the majority of them being wet and grasslands.
The Parisian-style cities were undoubtedly lovely to run around in, that’s for sure.
However, if you look at the region as a whole, it quickly losses its luster.
The starters in this region are hit-and-miss as well, unfortunately.
While many players praise Fennekin’s design, Chespin and Froakie feel lacking by comparison.
However, the biomes in this entry are somewhat varied, which is a saving grace for this region.
The Alola Region
The Alola Region saw a change in howPokemonregions were laid out and how gameplay progressed.
The visuals in this region are brilliant.
This allows the game to explore different biomes in the same island setting.
This setting fits very well with the themes put forth inPokemon Sun and Moon.
Also adding to the variety are the Alolan forms of existingPokemon.
These forms often differ from their regular forms through their coloration.
This adds a much-needed change to the look of thePokemonwe have seen.
Overall, Alola is a beautiful region aesthetically, pulling from many island cultures in its influence.
The Hoenn Region
The Hoenn region is home to several memorable locations.
Hoenn’s area for thePokemon Ruby & Sapphiregames is full of nostalgic places for many players.
This is where the player will be met with a lovely seaside view and transportation to Dewford Town.
Slateport City, within the region, is a bustling port town that players will visit in their travels.
There are several iconic locations within these games.
Fortree City, for example, has a unique layout because all houses are suspended from trees.
Much of the inspiration for the major cities in this region borrows heavily from New York City.
With it being the location forPokemonRed andBlue,it was many people’s first experience with aPokemongame.
Lavender Town is also iconic in its way, with its iconic theme music and its famous tower.
This region is where many players fell in love with thePokemonfranchise.
The Johto Region
The Johto region is, much like Kanto, based on Japan.
Johto introduces quite a few new areas.
However, players remember the systems presented in this entry so fondly.
Johto serves as the more country counterpart to Kanto, which is much more urban.
Players will no doubt remember their journies throughout this region with fondness.
All these elements unite and make Johto one of the bestPokemonregions.
The Sinnoh Region
Sinnoh takes the lessons learned by past generations ofPokemonand improves upon them.
The locations within Sinnoh are just as memorable today as when they releasedPokemon DiamondandPearl.
Each of the cities and towns within this entry has a distinct feel and flavor.
For example, many players will remember making Poffins for theirPokemonfor the first time in Hearthome City.
This is also the city in which the Pokemon Contests take place.
This region also incorporated pastPokemongames, with the city of Veilstone having a Game Corner.
This makes it our pick for the bestPokemonregion.
