Sinnoh region
The Sinnoh region, previously referred to as Hisui, is a vast and diverse area in the Pokémon world, known for its history, diverse landscapes and legendary Pokémon.
Located to the north of the Hoenn region, it is a large peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, with Mt. Coronet towering at its center.
Sinnoh is home to numerous towns and cities, each with its own unique culture, architecture, and Pokémon habitats.
The region features a diverse range of environments, including snowy mountains, dense forests, vast lakes, and expansive marshlands.

Sinnoh boasts a diverse climate, with its geography ranging from snowy mountains to tropical jungles. Unlike the warmer Hoenn region, Sinnoh’s northern location results in cooler temperatures, with constant snowfall in the north. This snow, blown down from the peaks, creates hazardous conditions on routes and covers cities like Snowpoint City entirely.
In contrast, the Battle Zone, with areas like Stark Mountain and its surrounding islands, experiences warmer climates, with dry environments and sandstorms on Route 228. Some southern areas of the Battle Zone are lush and tropical, featuring dense jungles. Despite limited water routes, Sinnoh is abundant in water sources, including rivers originating from the central highlands and lakes like Lake Acuity, Valor, and Verity.
Inland areas feature various climates, with mountainous zones leading to rainfall and the formation of wetlands, marshes, and bogs. Pastoria City, for example, was established in a marshy area, attracting wild Pokémon. Sinnoh is also prone to fog, notably on Route 210, where visibility can be greatly reduced. Despite these challenges, Sinnoh’s varied landscapes and climates provide a rich environment for Pokémon trainers to explore and discover.
Sinnoh has a rich cultural heritage, with many ancient ruins, myths, and legends woven into its history. The region is known for its Pokémon Contests, which are held in various locations and showcase Pokémon’s beauty and talents.

Sinnoh is home to numerous legendary Pokémon, including Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, who are said to control time, space, and antimatter, respectively.
