          Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are the names of regions in the mainline Pokemon games. It's shorthand for which Pokemon belong to which generation (although there are some exceptions here and there).




          • Generation 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow) - Kanto

          • Generation 2 (Gold/Silver/Crystal) - Johto

          • Generation 3 (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald) - Hoenn

          • Generation 4 (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum) - Sinnoh

            And if you click the groups, it will auto-scroll to the first entry for that region

          • bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Region You've also failed to mention the remakes: FireRed, LeafGreen, and Let's Go! Pikachu/Eevee occur in Kanto, HeartGold and SoulSilver occur in Johto, and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire occur in Hoenn.

          • @jpmc26 I didn't mention the remakes because remakes are typically in a different generation (Red/Blue are Gen 1 and FireRed/LeafGreen are Gen 3), they also usually don't add new Pokemon, and they don't introduce new regions (which is the salient part of this question).
