Unova

Unova is a region of the Pokémon World. Just like the rest of the world, it was created by Arceus, who shaped it with the power provided by its Plates.

Geographical Layout
Unova is based on the New York City metropolitan area of the United States of America.

Even though Unova is based on New York City, many parts of the state of New York are present in the design. The U.S. city itself is a continuous metropolis, but parts of Unova are rural and even deserts. Historical parts of the state are present in the region, such as Lower Manhattan, Broadway, the Borroughs, Brooklyn Bridge, and the New York City Subway.

Unova is not connected to any other region, meaning one would have to travel to/from it by plane or boat.

History
Unova is the main region where the manufacturing of Gems comes from. Scientists in the region invented this item in ancient times and used its power to help strengthen Pokémon's moves that are of the same type as the Gem. However, due to the nature of the item, it is used up once it's put into effect, making it a one-use item. An immense amount was created to make up for that, though.

Gems can ONLY officially be bought in the Unova region, unless purchasing from a person who already has one in other regions. Gems are now also one of the three items needed for Manipulation meditation.

Unova used to serve as the region of operations for the evil organization known as Team Plasma. This is not the case anymore, due to all previous smaller evil groups being merged into the Tekiyoku.

Unova was later taken over by the revitalized Tekiyoku, along with all other regions. All Unova Gyms were shut down and the Unova League was discontinued. Citizens there were forced to start paying the Tekiyoku taxes every now and then.

Cities and Towns
The following is a list of each city and town in Unova that's present in Tears of the Fallen. If a city or town is in the official Pokémon games, but not in the Pokémon anime, then it won't be shown here and it won't be featured in Tears of the Fallen. Other than that, the other cities and towns are basically present in Tears of the Fallen, even though some might not be mentioned in the series. Pokémon anime-exclusive locations may be shown here as well.

Present
In terms of a non-canonical pre-series, Unova was seen in Transmission #2, which was hosted by Colress and Ghetsis.

During the events in Kasai Village, it was thought that Ippei was going to have to go to the Unova region for a mission to stop Ghetsis from terrorizing the region, as instructed by Hanzo, the Kasai chief. This turned out to be false information sent to Hanzo by Heidayu, the former leader of the Kasai Militia. He said this lie to lure Ippei away from the village, capture him, and hold him in the militia's base so that he can hold Hanzo hostage and force Heidayu to be named the new chief. Saizo, who was stationed in Unova at the time along with his unit of the militia, had dispatched his unit from the region and made his way to Kalos to free Ippei as they fled to try to save the chief.

It is a sure fact that some of Arceus's Plates are hidden in this region. However, neither Alain's Division A of the Mokusetsu nor Division B has visited the region yet.
