The '''Hoenn region''' (Japanese: '''ホウエン地方''' ''Hōen-chihō'') is a large [[region]] to the southwest of [[Johto]], and resembles the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}. It is the setting of the [[Generation III]] games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The names of most of the cities in Hoenn are made of two words put together (Little Root, Fort Tree, Slate Port, etc.). [[Professor Birch]] of [[Littleroot Town]] offers the Pokémon known as {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} or {{p|Mudkip}} to trainers beginning their journey of this vast land.

==Geography==
The Hoenn region boasts many dramatic environments from rainforests to deserts. However, its most striking feature is its abundance of water. There are several large islands off the mainland only accessible via [[water routes]], many of which are suitable for {{m|Dive|diving}} because they are so deep. It seems to have a warmer climate than [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]].

Much of the interior area is forested or mountainous, so most notable cities are found on the coastline. 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 {{Special|Ruby}}, who preferred Johto's many modernized cities to the wilderness and countryside in Hoenn.

===Routes===
Routes in Hoenn number are numbered as {{rtn|101}}-{{rtn|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]]. Some of the routes have differing [[weather conditions]] depending on the day they are traveled on.

==Contests==
Hoenn is one of the few regions in which Trainers may compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Contest Halls are located in [[Fallarbor Town]], [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Slateport City]], and [[Lilycove City]] in Ruby and Sapphire, but have all centralized to Lilycove in Emerald, while their previous locations are taken by [[Pokémon Battle Tent]]s.

Contests provide a different style of battle, as emphasized in the {{pkmn|anime}} by {{an|May}} during the [[Advanced Generation series]], though the anime's interpretation of Contests is slightly different from their in-game mechanics. Also, in the anime, Contests appear to have debuted in most regions, even those who do not have them in-game, such as [[Johto]] or [[Kanto]].

==Trivia==
*Hoenn designer [[Jun'ichi Masuda]] has explicitly confirmed that Hoenn is modeled after {{wp|Kyushu}}, the fourth of the main islands of Japan, in the 15th article in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/COLUMN/column002.html Director's column]. Indeed, it appears very similar to its real-world counterpart, however rotated 90 degrees.
*Masuda's parents were both born in {{wp|Kurate District, Fukuoka|Kurate District}}, {{wp|Fukuoka Prefecture}}, and so he has many relatives in Kyushu. When he was young, he went to Kyushu for his summer vacations. The happy memories he had of Kyushu eventually led him to choose Kyushu as the stage for {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
**As with Kyushu, Hoenn (a pun on 豊縁 ''hōen'') is a place where the relations (縁 ''en'') between Pokémon and people, between person and person, are abundant (豊 ''hō'').
*Hoenn was the first region to introduce its own [[Hoenn Dex|regional Pokédex]], which didn't include ''all'' the known Pokémon at the time, unlike the older [[Johto Dex]].
*Hoenn is also the only main region where one can't get an {{p|Eevee}}. In fact, the [[Generation III]] is the only one who didn't introduce at least one new [[Eeveelution|evolution of Eevee]]
*The [[player character|main character]], at the beginning of the game, is on a moving truck. NPCs in Ruby and Sapphire eventually reveal that [[Norman]], the player's father, and his family moved from the [[Johto]] region so that Norman could take up the [[Gym Leader]] position in [[Petalburg City]]. This dialogue is replaced in Emerald, mentioning instead that Norman's family moved from "somewhere far away". The reference to Johto in Ruby and Sapphire could possibly be a reference to the fact that [[Generation II|the last set]] of Pokémon games mainly took place in Johto, and its replacement in Emerald could possibly be to discourage players from thinking that [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes|Johto is accessible]] in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|the other games of Generation III]].
*Hoenn is the only region in which all eight badges have the same names in Japanese and English.
*Hoenn is the only region where the [[Game Corner]] is not in the same city as the [[Department Store]].
