Pokémon has always been a jet-setting series, with its head in the clouds and its feet planted firmly in the real world. The first four generations of Pokémon games took us on a whirlwind tour of Japan. Red and Blue were set in a fictionalised version of Greater Tokyo, with dense cities and urban sprawl. Gold and Silver whisked us down to Kansai, with gorgeous temples and leafy towns. Ruby and Sapphire looked south to subtropical Kyūshū, all seaside cities and swathes of blue ocean. Diamond and Pearl donned their winter coats and flew to the chilly northern island of Hokkaidō, with its craggy peaks and snowfields.
