The '''Kanto region''' (Japanese: '''カントー地方''' ''Kantō-chihō'') is a large area located east of [[Johto]] and south of [[Sinnoh]]. It is the first region to be introduced, explored in the [[Generation I]] games and in the [[Generation III]] games [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]. Kanto is also accessible in the [[Generation II]] games [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]] and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]] after the quest in Johto is completed.

Most of the names of the cities in Kanto are the names of colors (Viridian, Lavender, Indigo Plateau, etc.). [[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon professor]] and gives [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[starter Pokémon]], though in Yellow the only choice is a {{p|Pikachu}} that he recently caught. In the games, the player begins his or her journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends it at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

It is based on the real [[wp:Kantō region|Kantō region]] (関東) in Japan. Kanto is the only region to have been featured in every generation of games, with the exception of the newly released [[Generation IV]].

==In Generation II==
In the Generation II games, trainers may travel from Johto to Kanto and notice that changes have occurred as a result of the three years having passed since the time of the Generation I games:

* Safari Zone is closed.
* Cerulean Cave has been blocked off.
* Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its gym was temporarily relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
* Viridian Forest and Mt. Moon have changed in size.
* Power Plant has become functional.
* Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower.
* Blue has remade Giovanni's former gym and functions as the Gym Leader.
* Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym, seeing as her father Koga has been promoted to the [[Elite Four]].
* The Pewter City Museum is closed for renovations.

==In Generation III==
In Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen, Kanto is very much as in the original games, with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay. Additionally, the first three in a chain of islands known as the [[Sevii Islands]], located east and southeast of Kanto, are unlocked once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. [[Champion]]ing the [[Elite Four]] and getting the [[National Dex]] unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.

==Trivia==
*Kanto's name was never revealed in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} outside of Japan, causing many fans to think the region was called Indigo (because of the [[Indigo Plateau]]). It was mentioned only once in the Japanese versions upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at the rival's house. The first mention of its name outside of Japanese context was in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. Despite this, its name is mentioned multiple times in the [[Generation III]] remakes, including but not limited to viewing the Town Map at the beginning of the games.
*Kanto is the only main [[region]] which has been featured in two separate anime series, once at the start of [[Ash]]'s journey (in the [[original series]]), and once after Ash returned from Hoenn (in the [[Advanced Generation series]]). It is also the only region that has not had continuous time spent in it for more than one [[dub]] season.
*Kanto is mentioned during the event in which players capture {{p|Shaymin}} in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]]. [[Professor Oak]] states that there is a white rock similar to the one at the north end of {{rt|224}} somewhere in the Kanto region, although no such rock has appeared in past games taking place in Kanto.
