[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Hoenn's name comes from 豊縁, ''hōen'', meaning "abundant relations", as a common theme in this region is the relationships forged between Pokémon and people. He also stated that the reasoning behind rotating Hoenn 90° counterclockwise compared to its real-world counterpart was to increase playability<ref>http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/ 2004/9/9</ref>.

==History==
<!-- history of the Hoenn region goes here -->
Hoenn was created after [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} were formed. Primal Groudon raised the landmasses and Primal Kyogre filled the seas that would later become Hoenn. The meeting of these two created a great battle for supremacy until it was quelled by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Rayquaza}}, sending Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre into caverns where they rested until they were awakened many years later during the course of events in [[Generation III]] or [[Generation VI]]. The moving of the continents by {{p|Regigigas}} created Hoenn, and when Regigigas was sent to sleep in the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regice}}, the keys to awakening it, were sealed away in Hoenn.
 
In contemporary history, {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} moved to [[Littleroot Town]] in Hoenn from [[Johto]]. Brendan/May encountered May/Brendan, competing with Brendan/May to complete the Pokédex. Brendan/May saved [[Professor Birch]] from a Poochyena{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/Zigzagoon{{sup/3|E}} with a {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, or {{p|Treecko}} from Professor Birch's bag; as a reward for saving him, he gave Brendan/May a [[Pokédex]] and allowed him/her to keep the Pokémon that he/she used to save him. Brendan/May traveled across Hoenn, occasionally encountering and defeating [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]. Team Magma{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and/or Team Aqua{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} successfully awakened {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and/or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}, which caused the region of Hoenn to be plagued by {{weather|intense sunlight}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}, {{weather|heavy rain}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} or a strange mixture of both{{sup/3|E}}. However, Brendan/May successfully calmed the weather Pokémon when he/she defeated it{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or summoned {{p|Rayquaza}} to calm them{{sup/3|E}}. Brendan/May then proceeded to win at the Pokémon League and become the Champion, and was invited to complete in the [[Battle Frontier]]{{sup/3|E}}.

Upon becoming the Champion, a meteor changed course towards Hoenn{{sup/6|ORAS}}. May/Brendan's, [[Wally|Wally's]] and [[Archie|Archie's]]{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Maxie|Maxie's]]{{sup/6|OR}} [[Key Stone|Key Stones]] were stolen by [[Zinnia]] in an attempt to summon {{p|Rayquaza}} to avert the crisis. Brendan/May encountered Zinnia at [[Sky Pillar]] and successfully summoned Rayquaza. Brendan/May gave Rayquaza the power to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] and it destroyed the meteor.

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
==Cities, routes, and other locations==
Hoenn has sixteen [[List of cities and towns by name|cities and towns]] and a [[Ever Grande City|Pokémon League]]. Since the majority of the cities and towns of Hoenn are immersed into nature, there aren't many large cities comparable to [[Unova]]'s [[Castelia City]] or [[Johto]]'s [[Goldenrod City]], with the largest area being [[Lilycove City]].

Hoenn has sixteen [[List of cities and towns|cities and towns]] and a [[Ever Grande City|Pokémon League]]. Since the majority of the cities and towns of Hoenn are immersed into nature, there aren't many large cities comparable to [[Unova]]'s [[Castelia City]] or [[Kalos]]'s [[Lumiose City]], with the largest city being [[Lilycove City]]{{sup/3|RSE}}/[[Mauville City]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}.


The Hoenn region has 34 different [[routes]], which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Much like [[Sinnoh]] after it, Hoenn's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Hoenn are numbered from {{rtn|101|Hoenn}} to {{rtn|134|Hoenn}}. Compared to other regions, Hoenn features an abundance of sea routes. This gives the impression that the Hoenn region is half-water and half-land, which references the battle of Groudon and Kyogre.

The Hoenn region is unique and famous for its tropical-like environments. The region does not feature a true mountain range like in Sinnoh and other regions. Hoenn introduced many new natural environments including a volcano, a jungle, a beach, a desert, and many more. The Hoenn region also introduced the idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]], including constant rainfall, thunderstorms, falling ash, and rays of sunlight.

Routes in Hoenn number are numbered as {{rtn|101|Hoenn}}-{{rtn|134|Hoenn}}, breaking the former pattern set up by Kanto and Johto. This is presumably to discourage the idea of being able to travel back to either region after completion of the game, as was done in [[Generation II]] and as a mirror of the fact that Japan's road system possesses a similar gap. Some of the routes have differing [[weather conditions]] depending on the day they are traveled on.

The Hoenn region boasts many dramatic environments from rainforests to deserts. However, its most striking feature is its abundance of water, a vast contrast to other core series regions, especially Sinnoh. There are several large islands off the mainland only accessible via [[water route]]s, many of which are deep enough for {{m|Dive|diving}}. It seems to have a warmer climate than [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

There are several large islands off the mainland only accessible via [[water route]]s, many of which are deep enough for {{m|Dive|diving}}. It seems to have a warmer climate than [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]].


Much of the interior area is forested or mountainous, so most notable cities are found on the coastline. Much of the region is covered in water, almost equal in size as the mainland, restating the theme of the game. People who live in towns and villages in the mountain areas must adapt to the harsh environment. An extreme example of this is the inhabitants of [[Fortree City]], who live in tree houses. This is in stark contrast to other regions in the [[Pokémon world]], as noted by {{adv|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], who preferred Johto's many modernized cities to the wilderness and countryside in Hoenn. Hoenn has two volcanoes: one active and one dormant. [[Mt. Chimney]], the active volcano, in the center of the Hoenn region; the ash from Mt. Chimney regularly falls on the nearby towns and routes. On the opposite side of the Hoenn region resides the dormant volcano which [[Sootopolis City]] was built in.

The Hoenn region (Japanese: ホウエン地方 Hōen-chihō) is a region of the Pokémon world. It is located south of Sinnoh. It is the setting of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. It is inspired by the real-world Japanese main island of Kyushu. The names of most of the cities in Hoenn are made of two words put together (Little Root, Fort Tree, Slate Port, Ever Grande, etc.) rather than colors or plants as Kanto and Johto had done. Professor Birch of Littleroot Town offers the starter Pokémon known as Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip to Trainers beginning their journey of this vast land.

Etymology and design concept

The map of Japan showing the Hoenn region as Kyushu

Etymology

Junichi Masuda has stated that Hoenn's name comes from 「豊縁」 hōen, meaning "abundant relations", as a common theme in this region is the relationships forged between Pokémon and people.[1]

Design concept

The Hoenn region is based on the real-world Japanese main island of Kyushu, rotated 90° counterclockwise. Junichi Masuda stated that the reason Kyushu was rotated 90° to create Hoenn was to increase playability.[1]

History

Hoenn was created after Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre were formed. Primal Groudon raised the landmasses and Primal Kyogre filled the seas that would later become Hoenn. The meeting of these two created a great battle for supremacy until it was quelled by Mega Rayquaza, sending Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre into caverns where they rested until they were awakened many years later during the course of events in Generation III or Generation VI. The moving of the continents by Regigigas created Hoenn, and when Regigigas was sent to sleep in the Snowpoint Temple in Sinnoh, Regirock, Registeel, and Regice, the keys to awakening it, were sealed away in Hoenn.

In contemporary history, Brendan/May moved to Littleroot Town in Hoenn from Johto. Brendan/May encountered May/Brendan, competing with Brendan/May to complete the Pokédex. Brendan/May saved Professor Birch from a PoochyenaRSORAS/ZigzagoonE with a Torchic, Mudkip, or Treecko from Professor Birch's bag; as a reward for saving him, he gave Brendan/May a Pokédex and allowed him/her to keep the Pokémon that he/she used to save him. Brendan/May traveled across Hoenn, occasionally encountering and defeating Team Aqua and Team Magma. Team MagmaREOR and/or Team AquaSEAS successfully awakened GroudonREOR and/or KyogreSEAS, which caused the region of Hoenn to be plagued by intense sunlightROR, heavy rainSAS or a strange mixture of bothE. However, Brendan/May successfully calmed the weather Pokémon when he/she defeated itRSORAS or summoned Rayquaza to calm themE. Brendan/May then proceeded to win at the Pokémon League and become the Champion, and was invited to complete in the Battle FrontierE.

Upon becoming the Champion, a meteor changed course towards HoennORAS. May/Brendan's, Wally's and Archie'sAS/Maxie'sOR Key Stones were stolen by Zinnia in an attempt to summon Rayquaza to avert the crisis. Brendan/May encountered Zinnia at Sky Pillar and successfully summoned Rayquaza. Brendan/May gave Rayquaza the power to Mega Evolve and it destroyed the meteor.

Cities, routes, and other locations

In-game map of the Hoenn region from Generation III
In-game map of the Hoenn region from Generation VI

Hoenn has sixteen cities and towns and a Pokémon League. Since the majority of the cities and towns of Hoenn are immersed into nature, there aren't many large cities comparable to Unova's Castelia City or Kalos's Lumiose City, with the largest city being Lilycove CityRSE/Mauville CityORAS.

The Hoenn region has 34 different routes, which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Much like Sinnoh after it, Hoenn's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Hoenn are numbered from 101 to 134. Compared to other regions, Hoenn features an abundance of sea routes. This gives the impression that the Hoenn region is half-water and half-land, which references the battle of Groudon and Kyogre.

The Hoenn region is unique and famous for its tropical-like environments. The region does not feature a true mountain range like in Sinnoh and other regions. Hoenn introduced many new natural environments including a volcano, a jungle, a beach, a desert, and many more. The Hoenn region also introduced the idea of routes with differing weather, including constant rainfall, thunderstorms, falling ash, and rays of sunlight.

Demographics

The towns, cities, and areas of the Hoenn region's total population in Ruby and Sapphire is 598.

Routes

Routes in Hoenn number are numbered as 101-134, breaking the former pattern set up by Kanto and Johto. This is presumably to discourage the idea of being able to travel back to either region after completion of the game, as was done in Generation II and as a mirror of the fact that Japan's road system possesses a similar gap. Some of the routes have differing weather depending on the day they are traveled on.

Geography

Hoenn in Ruby and Sapphire

The Hoenn region boasts many dramatic environments from rainforests to deserts. However, its most striking feature is its abundance of water, a vast contrast to other core series regions, especially Sinnoh. There are several large islands off the mainland only accessible via water routes, many of which are deep enough for diving. It seems to have a warmer climate than Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos.

Much of the interior area is forested or mountainous, so most notable cities are found on the coastline. Much of the region is covered in water, almost equal in size as the mainland, restating the theme of the game. People who live in towns and villages in the mountain areas must adapt to the harsh environment. An extreme example of this is the inhabitants of Fortree City, who live in tree houses. This is in stark contrast to other regions in the Pokémon world, as noted by Ruby in Pokémon Adventures, who preferred Johto's many modernized cities to the wilderness and countryside in Hoenn. Hoenn has one volcano: Mt. Chimney, the active volcano, in the center of the Hoenn region. The ash from Mt. Chimney regularly falls on the nearby towns and routes. On the opposite side of the Hoenn region resides the impact crater which Sootopolis City was built in.

Anime-based map of the Hoenn region

Due to the primarily tropical climate, many of Hoenn's newly discovered Pokémon are rather exotic in appearance, compared to Pokémon from Kanto or Johto.

Trivia

  • Hoenn has the most routes of any region, with 34.
    • Hoenn is the only region that did not receive new routes upon its second appearance, not counting third versions.
  • Unlike other regions, several of the smaller islands off Hoenn's southeastern coast are unreachable by any means.
  • Hoenn is the only region in the core series games to have more than one villainous team, with both Team Aqua and Team Magma calling the region home. While not a core series region, Orre also has this, with Team Snagem and Cipher.
  • Hoenn has the fewest gates of any region. It features only two, both located at the borders of the Seaside Cycling Road.
  • Hoenn is the only region that has two Pokémon Day Cares.
  • Hoenn is the only core series region which has both a Game Corner and department store which are not in the same city, since Hoenn's Game Corner is in Mauville City whereas its department store is in Lilycove City.
    • However, in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Game Corner is closed.
  • Hoenn is the only region in which all Badges have the same English and Japanese names—at least one Badge has a different name in all five other regions.
  • Hoenn is the only region with two lighthouses—one in Slateport City and the other in Lilycove City.
  • Hoenn is the only region that does not have some form of rail-based transportation. Kanto and Johto share the Magnet Train. The Great Marsh in Sinnoh contains a rail-based shuttle inside it. Unova contains the Battle Subway. Kalos has a train inside Lumiose Station.
