Every Pokémon Region: Worst to Best

What's your favorite Pokemon region? We know it's a controversial debate 😆

1. Hoenn - Love the ocean and land theme. The routes are so immersive. 2. Kalos - Hoenn beats Kalos by a CENTIMETER. The Pokemon are amazing and the new cities are interesting, though Pokemon Z was needed to flesh out the game 3. Unova - Story amazing, towns amazing, amazing pokemon. 4. Sinnohn- Snow 5. Kanto - Pretty good for an original. 6. Alola - Routes feel barren, but still has several great areas. 7. Paldea - A lot to explore though graphics are bad, but I did not have any bugs which helps. If the graphics were better, it might be number three. 8. Galar - The graphics are only bad in the wild area. I like the faster gym challenge though. 9. Johto - Literally forest for miles and all the Pokemon introduced are hanging out in Kanto. I love all the regions, but yeah.

For me, Unova takes the top spot. Every single town feels so diverse, and like it has an identity of its own. I appreciated how all the Gym Leaders had jobs outside of just being a Gym Leader (Burgh is an artist, Skyla is a Pilot, Lenora is a museum curator, etc.) Almost every Gym leader can be encountered outside of the gyms. Iris is constantly showing up to help Bianca. Bianca bumps into Elesa in Nacrene City. Burgh comes to Nacrene to see Lenora, and Team Plasma is causing trouble wherever they go. Team Plasma doesn't feel like an afterthought, they are actively getting up to mischief in most towns that you go to. I also think it was a good idea to sort of 'soft reboot' things in B/W and lock the National Dex in the Postgame. I know a lot of people were pissed about not being able to use their favourite Pokemon, but I personally found it refreshing. I can't count the number of times I've used a Gyarados or a Crobat or a Machamp, etc. in my various playthroughs of games. Being forced to use all new ones was fun. For me though, the thing that absolutely clinches it is the fact that you basically don't need HM's. You only have to use an HM exactly once in the main story of the game, and that's to Cut the tree in the Dreamyard just after the first badge. Every other HM (Strength, Surf, etc.) you can use to explore optional areas, if you want to, but you're not required to use them to complete the game. Coming off Sinnoh, where you need 6 HM's just to get through Victory Road, that's a nice change of pace. Don't get me wrong, I love Hoenn, but I think it suffers from a bit of an identity crisis. I love the whole vibe of Sinnoh, the place just feels steeped in history. There are so many myths and legends associated with various places. There's like 6 sets of ruins in the region. Places like Celestic Town almost seem removed from time, like it's been there, largely unchanged for thousands of years, and it will be there for thousands more. Still, that being said, I still think Unova is the best. I fully agree that the modern regions (Galar, Paldea and even Kalos) need to be down the bottom of the list. I mean, compare say Castelia City in Unova to Levincia in Paldea. Castelia has so much more to do. Levincia you can go in like, four buildings, all of which are generic shops which can be found in any town.

I'm gonna say that Alola and Hoenn are equally the best. With Hoenn's remakes getting my attention, and Alola being relevant to Hawaii.

Kalos will forever be my all time fav. 🤍

1. Unova - Love the story and the geography of this region, the cities are so memorable and I think Univa is not as linear as many people think. The seasons then added even more to Unova.This is my first region so I may be biased though, but still is my opinion, so I don’t care. 2. Sinnoh - Pretty much the same reasons as Unova, but the lore and plot of Unova are a little bit better in my opinion. 3. Johto - I love how mysterious and tradionalist this region is. When I think about the “traditional Pokémon experience” I think about Johto. 4. Kalos - I didn’t like X and Y, but the region is so beautiful, lots of memorable places and Lumiose City is probably the best Pokémon city ever in my opinion. XY osts for the locations are so damn good. 5. Alola - As I said before I am not a lover of the ocean in real life, so this is a completely personal ranking, but the lore is much better than Hoenn and I think geography too, even though is more linear. 6. Hoenn - “7.8 too much water”, I’m not a lover of the ocean in real life but I have to admit that Hoenn is probably the best regions to explore in all of the Pokémon franchise, but the water routes are pain in the ass. 7. Galar - It’s basically a Corridor, but I liked the design of the cities and the DLC areas, that I personally consider as part of the Galar region, but that’s it. 8. Paldea - Empty. Exploring Paldea is boring. Some cities design are good and also the Area Zero is, but it’s not enough to get the 7th position. 9. Kanto - Empty, boring to explore, linear, the cities designs are trash and completely forgettable, there is literally nothing good about Kanto. But it makes sense, it was the first one.

It's been over a month since any Pokemon content was last on here

Who gave this man an opinion

My favorite is Hoenn as I enjoy it more as the region itself rather than what the games show or the story ingame. I mean, I love some of it's towns and cities in a way that if they would exist, they would be the first places in pokemon world I would like to visit. For example, a city that consist on tree houses awakes my inner child, I imagine how it would look in the reallity and how the people would interact with their pokemon there. The same happens with a town in the ocean, or a city like sootopolis. Also that desert islands where you can build your secret base on AS and OR...when I first discover them, I imagine that simple sprites like something beautiful. I'm more of quite and nature places rather that big citys. That's why I fell home when playing games on Hoenn. I know that it will take decades, but now with open world I would love to see another Hoenn remake...maybe on that time the graphics used on pokemon would improve...probably not, but hope that happen.

Each and every region has equal merit for how awesome they are, including the Orre region. You guys forgot that one

I was 7 when Red and Blue debuted and have been playing each game since then. I honestly feel the best region design comes from the later games ironically enough. Despite the glitches with Scarlet and Violet Paldea feels the most magical and like I’m actually in the Pokemon world. Galar is a close second for me and my personal favorite generation overall is 7 i know on my copy of Moon i spent over 400 hours on it. I wouldn’t even say any region has a bad design but i do think Johto and Unova need to be seen in 3D

My favourite region is the unova region because it was the first game I ever started and I loved the style of the place, pokemon and characters.

Hey Pokebinge, can you please do Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Characters good to evil? I would like to see you do it. It would be cool to see you do all 4 of the Mystery Dungeon Games characters good to evil. I imagine that among pure good would probably be the hero or partner, the middle would be the other rescue teams, guild members, HAPPI Society, Exploration Society, etc, and among the evil would be Munna, Kyurem, Darkrai etc.

Sinnoh is the best. It’s just feels like home.

1. Unova 2. Hoenn 3. Kalos 4. Alola 5. Johto 6. Sinnoh 7. Paldea 8. Kanto 9. Galar

Hoenn is top tier

Kanto because all 3 Ash, Misty, and Brock are from the Kanto Region. Also Lorelei from The Kanto Elite 4. Sinnoh because I really love the champion Cynthia. She is a cutie 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.

How dare you put Galar at the bottom

Hey pokebinge, can you do Normal type Pokémon Good to Evil?

HARD disagree with johto. It's art, towns, and general vibe easily make it the best region to me.
