Location from pokemon-anime by
The southern region that debuts in Pokémon Horizons — home of Liko's school and the first region since Kanto to feature a new protagonist as lead.
Paldea opens the Horizons era. Liko attends a boarding academy here at the start of the arc; the pendant's mystery pulls her out into the wider world, across a continent that feels distinctly Iberian. A new adventure, a new cast, a new region — the torch passed.
Spanish-and-Mediterranean architecture, the central academy city's sandstone towers, olive groves, coastal clifftop villages, a great central tree at the region's heart. Warm light, red terracotta, open plazas.
