Johto Region

Location from Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver by Game Freak / Nintendo

A region built on tradition and mythology — west of Kanto, layered with ancient history from the ruins in the southwest to the dragon clans in the northeast, where legendary birds and ancient Pokémon define the landscape as much as the cities do.

Also known as: Johto, The Johto Region
