This is the fan made region I've been working on with assistance from BehindToo
He even provided a villain team for the region so I didn't have to come up with too much on it.
———————————————————
The Kaizen Region is an area in the world of Pokémon that's based on the southeastern states of the USA, like Unova is basically New York
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
The coastal parts of the region are based off the length of Texas all the way towards the Florida peninsula and eastern shore of Georgia, with maybe some small islands out in the gulf
The region would include territory not just from the three aforementioned states, but also territories in Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, as well as mountainous area in the north based off of Tennessee's Smokey Mountains.
Whether we add in Arkansas, Oklahoma and the Carolinas will have to be up for debate.
The region will also include large rivers based on Mississippi River, Tennessee River and Brazos river.
While the region has Pokémon gyms, an Elite 4 and a champion, there's two other areas one can be successful in if they aren't good at Pokémon battles: music and sports
Music is booming hard in the region and in different parts of the world due to the music studios in the northern half of Kaizen, with both humans AND Pokémon themselves getting careers singing, playing instruments and even conducting orchestras.
Arrowball, the Pokémon version of American football, is the most popular sport in the region, with several teams across the different cities making teams of Pokémon that compete by trying to score touchdowns or field goals.
There are several cities that are either along the coastline, up north in the mountains or just in the open plains of the center.
Chotano City (based on Chattanooga)
This area is where most trainers start their journey once they collect their starter.
The gym here is a Grass type gym run by former mountain ranger Rob Roots, making this a perfect test to see if you're ready to go through the Smokey Route in the mountains. (Or if you still have some grinding to do before you're strong enough to survive being ambushed on the route)
The second smallest music studio in the region, Chotano Chorus, is there too if your career start is with music, the place specializing in bluegrass and country music.
This city is also home to the arrowball team called the Chotano Cubs.
Nashita Ville City (based on Nashville)
This area is most known for being a major place to start a music career in, having the studio called Nashita Numbers that specializes in rock and roll as well as metal, hardcore, punk and other forms of rock music.
