[[File:Orange Islands Map Oak.png|thumb|Anime map of the Orange Islands]]
The '''Orange Islands''' (Japanese: '''オレンジ{{tt|諸島|しょとう}}''' ''{{tt|Orange Islands|Orenji-shotō}}''), also known as the '''Orange Archipelago''', are a large chain of tropical islands located south of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

==In the anime==
The Orange Islands were likely developed as the setting for a [[filler episode|filler arc]] while the [[Generation II|next generation of games]] was still [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Delayed release|under development]].

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s come here to participate in the [[Orange League]], but its tropical climate also attracts many tourists. One effect of the climate is the presence of [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|alternately colored Pokémon]]. The [[Officer Jenny]]s and [[Nurse Joy]]s of the archipelago dress in slightly different attire than those of the other regions, and some appear to have tans. Most of the scattered islands in the archipelago are named after types of oranges or other various citrus, and many are deserted.

According to [[Media:Orange.jpg|a map]] that was released in various English and Japanese books, the Orange Islands are located south of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

Ancient texts identify the [[Shamouti Island|central region]] of the archipelago as the source of all the waters of the {{pkmn|world}} and possibly the origin of life.

===League===
{{main|Orange League}}

Only four Orange League Badges are required to participate in championship competition, held on [[Pummelo Island]]. Unlike Gyms in other regions, the Orange League requires participants to complete challenges for the leaders of the Orange League, the Orange Crew.

Compared to the Gym Leaders of the other regions {{Ash}} has visited, the challenges set by the Orange Crew are not restricted to a building serving as the Gym, with [[Danny]]'s tasks involving a mountain while [[Cissy]] and [[Rudy]] had a portion of their challenges involving the ocean. Only [[Luana]] hosted hers in a Gym arena although this was an extension to her hotel.

==In the manga==
[[File:ET14.png|thumb|150px|The Orange Islands in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
The Orange Islands were featured from ''[[ET14|The Orange Islands]]'' to ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]'', adapting several events of {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s adventures in the archipelago, including his captures of {{AP|Lapras}} and {{AP|Snorlax}}, his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Rudy]], and his [[Full Battle]] against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}. Unlike in the anime, where he traveled with {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}}, he mostly travels around the archipelago alone in this adaptation, with Tracey not appearing at all. His main motivation for traveling there, the [[GS Ball]], is also absent.

===Pokémon Newspaper Strip===
In [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]], this location is mistakenly referred to as "Orange Island" when it is mentioned in an object-matching puzzle: "Four Pokémon took a plane to Orange Island and got their baggage mixed up!"
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The [[region]] is only called the Orange Archipelago three times, twice in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'' and once in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]''. It is otherwise exclusively referred to as the Orange Islands.
* The Orange Islands are the only place where Ash competed in a [[Pokémon League]] that did not appear in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', although it was mentioned in ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]''.
* The Orange Islands share several notable similarities with the [[Alola]] region, which was introduced [[Generation VII|six generations later]]:
** Both are tropical archipelagos.
** Both feature [[regional form]] Pokémon.
** Instead of traditional {{pkmn|battle}}-based [[Gym]]s, the regions focus on other kinds of challenges.
** Entering the local Pokémon League in both regions requires defeating four notable {{pkmn|Trainer}}s on four different islands.
** {{Ash}} has won the local Pokémon League on both archipelagos.
