Kanto

Kanto 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
Kanto is based on the actual Kantō region of Japan.

The real Kantō region of Japan holds Tokyo, which two Kanto cities, Celadon City and Saffron City, are based on. Tokyo is the most important commercial and economic center of Japan. The Pokémon Kanto region is modern and technological.

Both Kanto and Johto are connected as a large landmass and are close together in distance. The two regions have some cultural differences, similar to how there is a historical rivalry between the Japan Kantō region and the Kansai region, the basis of the Johto region. Regardless of this, the two regions of Japan, along with Kanto and Johto, live together in a contrasting harmony.

Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are part of an even larger landmass. Travel between the 4 regions can be done on land.

History
Kanto, together with Johto, used to serve as the region of operations for the evil organization known as Team Rocket. This is not the case anymore, due to all previous smaller evil groups being merged into the Tekiyoku.

Kanto was later taken over by the revitalized Tekiyoku, along with all other regions. All Kanto Gyms were shut down and the Indigo 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 Kanto 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
Kanto is the home region of one of the main protagonists, Ash Ketchum. He was born in Pallet Town. Around a year before the start of the series, his mother was murdered by the Tekiyoku for not keeping up with paying the Tekiyoku taxes.

After the Mokusetsu first departed from Sinnoh to start their journey getting the Plates, Gary and Tracey, two of Ash's childhood friends whom he reunited with at PokéLife Apartments, moved back to Kanto. They're set to travel with the Mokusetsu in the future.
