Much like the title suggests, this book is all about Pokemon from game reviews, theories, fun pictures, opinions and more. I'm a diehard Pokemon fan, been playing Pokemon since before I could read!!! Hope you can join me on this fun book!
Have you ever played a Pokemon game and thought 'Man... I'd love to live here!' Today, I'm going over the 10 Major Pokemon Regions across all the Pokemon games and ranking them Worst to Best based on livability. This will NOT take the games that take place in said region into account. Such as, Pokemon X & Y is regarded as the worst main series game BUT the Kalos region would be highly enjoyable to live in. Now there are 15+ Pokemon Regions, as mentioned above, I'm really only going over the Regions in the main series games AND Regions featured in more than 1 side game (Which is really only the Orre Region). I will not be including Hisui as Hisui is an ancient version of Sinnoh.
Sit tight and enjoy the update!
10. Hoenn

Despite being the region of focus to some of the biggest fan favorite games, I still wouldn't live here. Hoenn is a Japan based region with a crazy climate. This region is 75% water and its next to impossible to traverse this region unless you have a boat even if you have a Pokemon capable of surfing. The climate is tropical resorting in a wildly humid region where it rains AND storms more often times than not. The desert portion of the region can't even be traversed unless you have the proper gear AND there's numerous cities that are either on an active volcano or close enough to said volcano to be affected by it. Yes, some Hoenn inhabitants highly profit off the volcanoes by harvesting volcanic ash to make glass blown antiques, but is one glass blowing business enough to make me wanna live here? Heck no!!! Hoenn is just a complete mess of a region to be living within for its climate alone you literally cannot pay me to live here. Maybe I'd visit in regards to vacationing Hotspots in Hoenn, but I'd never live here.
9. Kanto

Unless you're built different, there's no reason anyone should live here. Kanto is a Japan based region. According to lore, Kanto suffers from the fact that they are a high tech Pokemon Region. How is that a bad thing? Deforestation due to expansion that further explains the lack of Pokemon species present in Kanto and pollution. All of this explains why Kanto imports other Pokemon species to the region most specifically Exeggcutor & the Dratini family. Its also why Kanto Pokemon tend to have regional variants, in fact, most regional variants of Kanto Pokemon ARE the original Pokemon. Kantonian regional variants had to adapt in order to even live here. As of Sword & Shield, it was even confirmed that Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos didn't originate in Kanto. Have you ever stopped to wonder why there's so many Poisonous Pokemon let alone so many pollution related Pokemon in the region? Theres over 20 Poison type Pokemon in this region too lets not forget. Muk is a sewage Pokemon while Weezing contributes to air pollution. Paras and Parasect suffer from a parasite too. Also, let's not forget about their active volcano problem either. The cherry on top is that Kanto is the base of operations for Team Rocket, a crime syndicate hellbent on kidnapping Pokemon and reselling them for profit as this organization doesnt die no matter how many times you attempt to get rid of them. Lastly, in most Pokemon games, the player character moved from one region to another. Most of the time, the player originally lived in Kanto and moved away. THAT should also tell you that Kanto is not a desirable place to live. I think I'd go live somewhere else thank you.
