I Am The First Person To Tour Across The Real Life Pokemon Kanto Region

For the past 26 years, the Pokemon games have always featured regions based on real world locations. For example, Kalos is based on France, Galar is inspired by the United Kingdom, Paldea is derived from the Iberian Peninsula, Unova is drawn from New York, and Alola is clearly a model of Hawaii. However, the first general games featured Kanto, a region that actually exists in the real world with the exact same name in Japan where Tokyo is situated. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:875/0*HRdFqv8-XSSko1Yk" style="height:420px; width:700px" /> The world map for the in-game Kanto region, it looks startlingly similar to the real world Kanto region in Japan. Hi, I am Alexander Laurence, 30, I live in Japan and I am an avid Pokémon fan. For 10 years, I had been secretly planning a Pokémon world tour by compiling and researching all the real world locations for the cities in each in-game region. <a href="https://medium.com/@alexanderlaurence/i-travelled-across-the-real-world-locations-of-pokemons-kanto-region-771539f16922">Website</a>
