Kanto[]

During the second half of the game it is possible to travel to the Kanto region to collect the gym badges to enter the Indigo Plateau and the Contest Badges to enter the Kanto Grand Festival from here. Much like Johto this place has also been expanded a lot and had several new towns implemented in the last twenty years.

All of the gyms remain in the same locations as they did twenty years ago, requests to open up a new gym in Pallet Town were denied due to the fact that both Pewter and Virdian were very close and they had their own gyms however they did receive a Contest Hall, along with Neon City, Lavender Town, Saffron City and Celadon City.

Fuchsia City was changed drastically, it soon became Neon City so the former residents of Fushcia picked up there town and moved further to the east, they took the Gym with them. The Safari Zone now lays between the two citys under the care of Janine.

Sequel[]

A third game was released Pokemon Copal in liu of Pokemon Yellow, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum. It features many new features and a new location not available in these games.
