Woodlands: Kanto (Pokémon)

For fans of famed Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum, a visit to the colorful Kanto region is a must. Lying just east of Johto, Kanto can be reached easily by steamboat or magnet train, and travel throughout the region is simplified by the logically numbered routes and your exclusive copy of Neutral Ground’s legendary map. Though it’s possible to cover all of the Kanto region by foot, a trip to Cerulean City’s renowned bike shop will make travel between cities much faster. This comes in particularly handy if you want to make a quick escape from the nearby Lavender City and its ominous Ghost-type Pokemon. Naturally, you’ll want to make a stop in Palette City and take in the region’s most beloved tourist attraction - Ketchum’s childhood home. While you’re in the area, consider taking a quick boat trip to Cinnabar Island to visit the cutting-edge Pokemon Lab and the crumbling Pokemon Mansion. If you’re hoping to build your own Pokédex during your trip, gear up in Celadon City’s Department Store.
