'''Johto''' is a region connected to the western part of [[Kanto]]. It was introduced in [[Generation II]], ''[[Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version|Pokémon Gold, Silver]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]]'', later seen in their remakes, ''[[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Version|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]''. The [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|third]], [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions|fourth]], and [[Pokémon: Master Quest|fifth]] seasons of the [[Pokémon Anime|anime]] were also set there. In the games, all its cities either have plant-themed or color-themed names. Johto is mainly based on Western Japan, especially the [[wikipedia:Kansai region|Kansai]] region of Japan, with some elements of [[wikipedia:Chūbu region|Chūbu]] and [[wikipedia:Shikoku|Shikoku]]. There are old-fashioned cities reminiscent of [[wikipedia:Nara|Nara]] and [[wikipedia:Kyoto|Kyoto]] and a modern commercial city reminiscent of [[wikipedia:Osaka|Osaka]]. Some inhabitants speak the [[wikipedia:Kansai dialect|Kansai dialect]] in the Japanese releases of the game.
   
The mythology of the Johto region features [[Ho-Oh]], the Rainbow Pokémon guardian of the skies, and [[Lugia]], the Diving Pokémon guardian of the seas, who previously perched on the Bell and Brass Towers respectively in [[Ecruteak City]]. When the Brass Tower burned down in a storm, Lugia flew away, and three Pokémon died in the process. Ho-Oh revived these Pokémon, creating [[Raikou]], [[Entei]], and [[Suicune]]. Lugia's home, the [[Whirl Islands]], were also created when the Pokémon dispelled a war over a singular island, splitting it into four islands and making them its home, producing powerful whirlpools to protect itself. [[Celebi]], the Time Travel Pokémon, also calls Johto its home, residing in the [[Ilex Forest]] where it brings Pokémon and Trainers forward and back in time.
 
   
100 previously unknown Pokémon reside in Johto. In the Generation II games, the player's home town is [[New Bark Town]], where they can choose either [[Chikorita]], [[Cyndaquil]], or [[Totodile]] as his/her first Pokémon.

Johto is a region connected to the western part of Kanto. It was introduced in Generation II, Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Pokémon Crystal, later seen in their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver. The third, fourth, and fifth seasons of the anime were also set there. In the games, all its cities either have plant-themed or color-themed names. Johto is mainly based on Western Japan, especially the Kansai region of Japan, with some elements of Chūbu and Shikoku. There are old-fashioned cities reminiscent of Nara and Kyoto and a modern commercial city reminiscent of Osaka. Some inhabitants speak the Kansai dialect in the Japanese releases of the game.


The mythology surrounding the Johto region features Ho-Oh, the Rainbow Pokémon guardian of the skies, and Lugia, the Diving Pokémon guardian of the seas, who previously perched on the Bell and Brass Towers respectively in Ecruteak City. When the Brass Tower burned down in a storm, Lugia flew away, and three Pokémon died in the process. Ho-Oh revived these Pokémon, creating Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Lugia's home, the Whirl Islands, were also created when the Pokémon dispelled a war over a singular island, splitting it into four islands and making them its home, producing powerful whirlpools to protect itself. Celebi, the Time Travel Pokémon, also calls Johto its home, residing in the Ilex Forest where it brings Pokémon and Trainers forward and back in time.

100 previously unknown Pokémon reside in Johto. In the Generation II games, the player character's hometown is New Bark Town, where they can choose either Chikorita, a grass type, Cyndaquil, a fire type, or Totodile, a water type as his/her first Pokémon.

In anime, Johto is the home region of Jimmy and his friends.

Geography

The terrain of Johto is similar to that of Kanto, since the two regions are connected, with a jagged mountain range in the northeast, descending to a boundless ocean in the southwest.
