Location of Mandarin Island North in the Orange Islands.

Mandarin Island North (Japanese: キンカン島 Kinkan Island) is an island located in the Orange Archipelago.

Mandarin Island North is home to a big city, which Jessie referred to as The Big Orange, an allusion to New York City (The Big Apple).

Butch and Cassidy once used Mandarin Island North for one of their schemes. Using a Drowzee, they hypnotized all the Pokémon on the island into turning against their trainers. This included Ash's Pikachu and Misty's Togepi.

Although this island shares the name with Mandarin Island South, there is very little in common. It is believed the islands are named the same because of a dubbing error. In Japan, their names are not the same.

Its English name comes from a type of orange known as a mandarin.
