Kanto Pallet TownNotable Locations: Professor Oak's Lab, Oak Ranch
Status: Active
The origin point of many of the famous trainers from Kanto, Pallet Town, as its name suggests, is a small, quiet town in the south-western part of the Kanto region. Despite the large number of powerful trainers who started their journey there, Pallet Town's only major attraction is the Oak Research Lab; because of this, it managed to avoid most of the harm that was caused in the wake of Team Rocket's rise to power.

Viridian CityNotable Locations: Pokémon Academy, Trainer House, Viridian Gym, Viridian Forest
Status: Active
This city is a crossroads of sorts. To the left, the route leads to Victory Road and the Indigo Plateau; to the south is Pallet Town; and to the north is Viridian Forest and Pewter City. Viridian City has some of the highest levels of Rocket presence, due to the fact that the main Rocket base for Kanto is located somewhere in or near Victory Road.
Along with Saffron City, Viridian City has seen some of the biggest advances in technological development since Team Rocket's rise to power, due to a sort of favoritism that Shadow Admin Sleight seems to possess for it and its companies. It is also notable for being the location of several major riots after the Shadow Admins took power, as well as being almost legendary for its police force's ability to subdue the riots in a relatively short amount of time.

Pewter CityNotable Locations: Pewter Gym, Pewter City Museum, Mt. Moon
Status: Active
Pewter City is located in the northwest portion of central Kanto. It is a favorite spot for many families to visit, due to the presence of both a Gym--run by the family of former Gym Leader Brock--and the Pewter City Museum, which recently became home to several machines designed to resurrect fossilized Pokémon. To the east of Pewter City is Mt. Moon, home to a large number of Clefairy and other Pokémon with close associations to the moon.

East of the city, through Route 9, lies the Rock Tunnel and the Power Plant, where Zapdos have often been seen in occupation.

Status: Active; protests ongoing
Vermillion City is Kanto's port city. Many ships arrive in the city each day, visiting on various businesses from Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and even some boats that sneak in from Unova and the Sevii Islands. The waterfront is the biggest attraction in Vermillion City, though it's Pokémon Gym once gathered a lot of attention as well. East of Vermilion City is one of the main entrances into Diglett's Cave, connecting with another primary entrance near Viridian City. Following Missing Zero's appearance, Vermilion City has seen a rise in protests against Team Rocket. The Vermilion Rocket Outpost was also the first recorded site of conflict against the Instances called Nobuddy.

Lavender TownNotable Locations: Lavender Radio Tower, House of Memories, Rock Tunnel
Status: Active
Lavender Town is a relatively small town in the east, but features a number of graveyards, some exclusively for Pokemon, as well as the Radio Tower, which convinced some people to move to the town. As it is well known for its ghosts, as well as a number of superstitions and odd occurrences in the area, Lavender Town was virtually untouched by Team Rocket upon their rise to power. Several morbid phenomena have transpired in Lavender Town, including the brutal murder of Liberty Agent Drake Masters and the abduction (and assumed deaths) of several children by a pair of deranged Hypno.

Celadon CityNotable Locations: Celadon Gym, Celadon Department Store, Celadon Rocket Outpost.
Status: Active; severely damaged
A hub city located in the very center of Kanto. Celadon City is a large tourist destination for shopping, as Kanto's famous department store is located in this city. The Game Corner Rocket Outpost, while abandoned for a time, was later refitted, expanded, and reoccupied, providing Team Rocket with a foothold in the city. After Hannah Wright's endeavors to try and restart the Rocket-Liberty War, Celadon City was left heavily damaged. It is still currently undergoing repairs.
----
Fuchsia CityNotable Locations: Fuchsia Gym, Safari Zone, Pal Park, Pokémon Zoo
Status: Active
Fuchsia City is a big tourist destination for seeing Pokémon that aren't necessarily native to Kanto in habitats similar to their original ones. Fuchsia City is host to a number of attractions, such as the original Safari Zone, a Pal Park, and a Pokémon Gym. Fuchsia City received far more damage during Team Rocket's takeover than most other cities, as evidenced by the backstories of Kyle Eston, Jayron Aaron and Cyan Vero. Despite this, its population has managed to recover, though lasting damage is still present both in physical and mental form.
----
Saffron CityNotable Locations: Saffron Gym, Silph Co. Headquarters, Fighting Gym, Saffron Rocket Outpost, Magnet Train Station
Status: Active
Saffron City is easily the largest city in Kanto, and has many large buildings and important locations to demonstrate that fact, such as the primary headquarters for the Silph Co., the Magnet Train Station, the Fighting Dojo, and the Saffron Gym. Along with Viridian City, Saffron City is a leading location when it comes to advancements in technology, due in part to the large number of scientific organizations that operate within the city. This has had the side effect of attracting a larger number of Liberty-Rocket skirmishes to the area, as unlike Viridian City, Saffron is not located near Team Rocket's primary headquarters.

Cinnabar IslandNotable Locations: Cinnabar Volcano, Cinnabar Gym, Cinnabar Mansion, Cinnabar Lab
Status: Destroyed by natural causes approximately 23 years ago.
Cinnabar Island was formerly a small town where a Pokémon lab was located, along with a burnt mansion. The mansion was similar in purpose to the Pokémon lab, and was where secret experiments on a member of the Mirage Pokémon species, called Mew, were carried out, the end result being the creation the original Mewtwo. The volcano located on the island erupted approximately 23 years ago, and has been uninhabitable since. Several powerful Fire-Type Pokémon, including a number of Moltres, have reclaimed the deserted island as their habitat.
----
Seafoam IslandsNotable Locations: Cinnabar Gym, Seafoam Caves
Status: Active
Following the destruction of Cinnabar Island, the inhabitants relocated to the Seafoam Islands. The town itself is small, serving primarily as a hospitable zone for researchers and the current Gym Leader. As it is so out of the way, the Seafoam Islands have gone almost completely untouched by the various forces acting upon the world, at least for now. The Seafoam Caves are home to a large number of Water- and Ice-Type Pokémon, including several Articuno. Lugia have also been sighted in the surrounding area.
----
Indigo PlateauNotable Locations: Chapel, Victory Road
Status: Active
Indigo Plateau was where the strongest Pokémon Trainers used to gather, prior to Team Rocket's takeover. The Indigo Plateau used to carry out tournaments and other related contests; however, these came to a halt with Team Rocket's rise to power, when the Plateau was converted into the superstructure called Chapel, Team Rocket's main headquarters that extends both up into the sky and down into the earth for several stories. The base contains almost unlimited facilities serving Team Rocket's purposes, and is defended both by Team Rocket's huge number of operatives, the natural defenses of the environment and wandering Pokémon, and the man-made defenses constantly on guard.

Mt. SilverStatus: Quarantined; see Scenario 1
Mt. Silver is located at the far-west end of the region, bordering Johto. While dangerous in its own right due to the presence of many powerful and angry Pokémon, including some Legendary Pokémon, Mt. Silver has only increased in its potential for hazards following the surprise appearance of a number of Instances on the mountain. Team Rocket has instigated a quarantine of the area, blocking off all access to the mountain and engaging any Instances that attempt to leave it. It is unknown what has happened within the caves, as no one has yet dared venture inside.
