The Kanto region is probably the most well-known region in the Pokémon World. Mainly because it was the first region discovered. The Pokémon research lab in the Kanto region is located in Pallet Town. Of course, the teacher of the Kanto region is Professor Oak, who studies the relationships between people and Pokémon. In the Kanto region, trainers can receive one of three Pokémon to start their journey from Professor Oak.
Trainers can receive grass and poison type Pokémon, Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur is powerful because he can get various moves that can give status conditions to the opponent. Bulbasaur evolved into Ivysaur and becomes even more powerful, eventually Ivysaur evolves into Venasaur, the third and final evolution of Bulbasaur. Venasaur is powerful and can punch opponents!
Then there is the fire type Pokemon Charmander. Charmander is powerful, but Trainers will be in trouble in Pewter City when they take on Gym Leader Brock, who uses Rock-type Pokémon. Charmander will evolve into Charmeleon, which packs quite a punch, but not as powerful as Charmander’s latest evolution, Charizard. Charizard is powerful and can now use some Flying-type attacks as it is now a Fire-type Pokémon and a Flying-type Pokémon.
Last but not least is the Water-type Pokémon Squirtle. Squirtle is a good start to pick, his power is pretty neutral and he gets even more powerful when he evolves into Wartortle. Wartortle is powerful and of course he can put out any type of fire. Squirtle’s latest evolution is the mighty Blastoise. Blastoise can take the Pokémon League by storm with the right training and strategy. Which one will you choose to be your starter in the Kanto region?
The Kanto region is also home to Team Rocket, the largest crime syndicate in the Pokémon World. Team Rocket has the goal of world domination by any means possible. The leader is Giovanni, who was the former gym leader of Ciudad Verde. He was a gym leader, so he can test newly caught or probably stolen Pokémon to see how powerful they are. Other than that, the Kanto region has a lot of great spots, like the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City, trainers can catch new Pokemon with decent power in the Safari Zone. The Kanto region is by far a large region. Would you start your journey in the Kanto region?
