The '''Hoenn''' region (Japanese: '''ホウエン{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Hoenn {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located south of [[Sinnoh]],<ref>As stated in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]''.</ref> and southwest of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].<ref>''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 16 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archive])</ref> It is the setting of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]]. It was the third [[core series]] region to be introduced.
The '''Hoenn''' region (Japanese: '''ホウエン地方''' ''Hōen-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is the setting of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. It is inspired by the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|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 {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}} to {{pkmn|Trainers}} beginning their journey of this vast land.

===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. 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>.

The Hoenn region is based on the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}, rotated 90° counterclockwise. Junichi Masuda stated that the reason Kyushu was rotated 90° to create Hoenn was to increase playability.<ref name=masuda/> According to the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection]], Masuda further clarifies that this choice was related to the horizontal display of the new [[Game Boy Advance]] screen.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1504100422688153605]</ref>

==History==
==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. A meeting between these two caused 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.

The meeting of these two created a great battle for supremacy until it was quelled by {{p|Rayquaza}}, sending Groudon and Kyogre into caverns where they rested until they were awakened many years later during the course of events in [[Generation III]]. The moving of the continents by {{p|Regigigas}} created Hoenn, and when Regigigas was sent to sleep in the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in [[Sinnoh]] during the Iron Age, {{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 them to keep the Pokémon that they 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|harsh 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 they defeated it{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or summoned {{p|Rayquaza}} to calm them{{sup/3|E}}. Brendan/May then proceeded to beat the Pokémon League and become the Champion, and was invited to compete in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}{{sup/3|E}}.
In contemporary history, Brendan/May moves to [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]] from [[Johto]]. Brendan/May will encounter the opposite gender as a pseudo rival of some sorts along the journey, competing with Brendan/May to complete the Pokédex. Brendan/May will save [[Professor Birch]] from a Zigzagoon and get either, Torchic, Mudkip or Treeko as theirs to keep, Birch giving Brendan/May the Pokédex as a thank-you gift. Brendan/May travel across Hoenn, occasionally encountering and defeating [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], two mysterious forces that seek to enlarge the sea and land respectively. Brendan/May confront Teams Aqua and Magma and awaken Rayquaza, who stops the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. Brendan/May then proceeds to win the Pokémon League and become the Champion.


==Cities, routes, and other locations==
Upon becoming the Champion, a meteor changed course towards Hoenn{{sup/6|ORAS}}. May's/Brendan's, [[Wally]]'s, and [[Archie]]'s{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Maxie]]'s{{sup/6|OR}} [[Key Stone]]s 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.
Hoenn has sixteen [[List of cities and towns by name|cities and towns]] and a {{ho|Pokémon League}}. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. Hoenn features the largest amount of towns and cities of the five [[Region|main regions]].


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, giving the impression that the Hoenn region is half-water and half-land. The Hoenn region introduced the idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]], including constant rainfall, thunderstorms, falling ash, and rays of sunlight.  
==Geography==
===Environment===
[[File:Hoenn Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Hoenn in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Hoenn Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Hoenn in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
The Hoenn region boasts many dramatic environments from [[Hoenn Route 119|rainforests]] to [[Hoenn Route 111|deserts]], but its most striking feature is its abundance of water, a strong contrast to other core series regions, especially Sinnoh. Much of the region is covered in water, almost equal in size to the mainland, exemplifying the theme of the games. There are several large and populated islands off the mainland only accessible via [[water route]]s, many of which are deep enough for {{m|Dive|diving}}.


The Hoenn region is unique and famous for its tropical-like environments. Despite Hoenn's abundance of water routes, there is a large amount of land. Since 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]]. 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.
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 {{adv|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], who preferred Johto's many modernized cities to the wilderness and countryside in Hoenn. Hoenn has one active volcano, [[Mt. Chimney]], in the northwest of the region. The ash from Mt. Chimney regularly falls on the nearby towns and routes. On the opposite side of the Hoenn region lies the volcanic{{sup/3|RSE}}/impact{{sup/6|ORAS}} crater which [[Sootopolis City]] was built in.
 
Some of Hoenn's newly discovered Pokémon strongly reflect the influence of the primarily tropical environment.
 
===Climate===
Hoenn seems to have a warmer climate than other regions, similar to an equatorial climate. This may mean that Hoenn is located closer to the equator than the other regions.
 
The mainland experiences a wide variety of weather across its breadth. Ashes constantly fall around [[Mt. Chimney]] in the northwest. Constant, extreme {{weather|sandstorm}}s afflict the arid desert near its center. Frequent {{weather|rain}} falls on the mainland's northeastern areas, nourishing the rainforests and {{DL|tall grass|long grass}} that grow there.


===Demographics===
===Demographics===
The towns, cities, and areas of the Hoenn region's total population in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} is 598.
The towns, cities, and areas of the Hoenn region's total population in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} is 598. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the total population of  Hoenn's towns, cities, and areas is 694. Upon its introduction in [[Generation III]], it was the largest region by population. As of [[Generation VIII]], it is the sixth largest region by population.

====Routes====
Routes in Hoenn 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]] depending on the day they are traveled on.

===Routes===
====Manga-exclusive====
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. 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]].

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 Hoenn region) is a region of the Pokémon world. It is located south of Sinnoh,[1] and southwest of both Kanto and Johto.[2] It is the setting of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. It was the third core series region to be introduced.

Hoenn 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 first partner 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 signifies "abundant relations" (豊縁 hōen), as a common theme in this region is the relationships forged between Pokémon and people.[3]

Design concept

Main article: Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Hoenn

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.[3] According to the Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection, Masuda further clarifies that this choice was related to the horizontal display of the new Game Boy Advance screen.[4]

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. A meeting between these two caused 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 them to keep the Pokémon that they 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 harsh sunlightROR, heavy rainSAS or a strange mixture of bothE. However, Brendan/May successfully calmed the weather Pokémon when they defeated itRSORAS or summoned Rayquaza to calm themE. Brendan/May then proceeded to beat the Pokémon League and become the Champion, and was invited to compete in the Battle FrontierE.

Upon becoming the Champion, a meteor changed course towards HoennORAS. May's/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.

Environment

Hoenn in Pokémon Evolutions

The Hoenn region boasts many dramatic environments from rainforests to deserts, but its most striking feature is its abundance of water, a strong contrast to other core series regions, especially Sinnoh. Much of the region is covered in water, almost equal in size to the mainland, exemplifying the theme of the games. There are several large and populated islands off the mainland only accessible via water routes, many of which are deep enough for diving.

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 Ruby in Pokémon Adventures, who preferred Johto's many modernized cities to the wilderness and countryside in Hoenn. Hoenn has one active volcano, Mt. Chimney, in the northwest of the region. The ash from Mt. Chimney regularly falls on the nearby towns and routes. On the opposite side of the Hoenn region lies the volcanicRSE/impactORAS crater which Sootopolis City was built in.

Some of Hoenn's newly discovered Pokémon strongly reflect the influence of the primarily tropical environment.

Climate

Hoenn seems to have a warmer climate than other regions, similar to an equatorial climate. This may mean that Hoenn is located closer to the equator than the other regions.

The mainland experiences a wide variety of weather across its breadth. Ashes constantly fall around Mt. Chimney in the northwest. Constant, extreme sandstorms afflict the arid desert near its center. Frequent rain falls on the mainland's northeastern areas, nourishing the rainforests and long grass that grow there.

Demographics

The towns, cities, and areas of the Hoenn region's total population in Ruby and Sapphire is 598. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the total population of Hoenn's towns, cities, and areas is 694. Upon its introduction in Generation III, it was the largest region by population. As of Generation VIII, it is the sixth largest region by population.

Notable locations

Hoenn has sixteen cities and towns, including 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.

Routes

Routes in Hoenn 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.
