The Battle Zone is a sub-region on an island off the northeast of mainland Sinnoh and is home to the Battle Tower, where the player character can get Battle Points, like in Hoenn's Battle Frontier. The Battle Zone's people do not consider the sub-region to be a part of Sinnoh.

Cities and Towns[]

The Battle Zone is home to three major settlements, the Fight Area, the Survival Area and the Resort Area. Sinnoh's Battle TowerDPBattle FrontierPt is also located in the Fight Area. In the Battle Zone, there is a facility called the Fight Area which serves as the entrance to the Battle Tower in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In the Survival Area, the player character can rematch Sinnoh Gym Leaders in Pokémon Platinum.

Places of Interest[]

Battle Park/Battle Frontier[]

Stark Mountain[]

Nearby the Survival Area lies the Stark Mountain an active volcano. This is where the legendary Heatran can be caught.

Ribbon Syndicate[]

In the Resort Area, the player character can buy unique ribbons at the Ribbon Syndicate and massages for their Pokémon.

Trivia[]

  • It should be noted that, although the Battle Zone is placed on the Sinnoh region map, it is however not considered to be a part of the region. This is due to the fact that many local civilians state that Pokémon originating from Sinnoh are a rare sight and themselves do not consider it to be a part of Sinnoh. This trait is also shared with the Sevii Islands of Generation III.
  • The Battle Zone is based on the geography of the southern half of the island, Sakhalin (Japanese: 樺太(からふと) Karafuto; Russian: Сахали́н Sakhalín), which is formerly a prefecture of the Empire of Japan and now the Russian Sakhalin Oblast.
