The Battle Zone (Japanese: バトルゾーン, Batoru Zōn) is a sub-region on an island off the northeast of mainland Sinnoh and is home to the Battle Tower, where the player can get Battle Points, like in Hoenn's Battle Frontier. Battle Zone is based on the geography of the former Japanese now Russian island of Sakhalin (Karafuto).

TriviaEdit

• 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. This trait is also shared with the Sevii Islands of Generation III.
