Kanto maps: common questions
- Which Pokémon games are set in Kanto?
- 10 games are set in Kanto: Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver, Pokémon Crystal, Pokémon FireRed, Pokémon LeafGreen, Pokémon HeartGold, Pokémon SoulSilver. Each one draws the region differently, so the map you want is the one for the game you are playing.
- Is the Kanto map the same in every game?
- No. Kanto is redrawn every generation, and the wild Pokémon, items and trainers change with it. That is why every game here has its own map rather than sharing one picture with notes attached.
- How many places are there in Kanto?
- 75 distinct towns, routes, caves and buildings across the 10 games. All of them are clickable, with their wild Pokémon, items and trainers already marked.
- Why does Kanto appear in the Johto games?
- Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver carry on past the Johto league into Kanto, three years after Red and Blue. It is a changed Kanto: some routes are blocked, the Power Plant has broken down, and the gym leaders have new teams, so a Kanto map from Red will mislead you there.
- Which Kanto map should I use?
- Use the one for the game you are playing. If you only want to look at the region, the map at the top of this page is Pokémon FireRed, which is the version most people are searching for.
