Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar and Paldea are known to be located far away from Kanto and Johto, and as such they may not be part of this country. This concept is similar to the regions of Japan, which the Pokémon world has been modeled after, and from which the Pokémon world's Kanto region takes its name. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Professor Oak explains that Sinnoh, Kanto, and Hoenn (and probably Johto and others) are part of a larger country, whose name has yet to be revealed. Visitors from another region quickly realize that the region they are visiting is far from their home, both in the way of the climate, distance and location and in the culture of the people there. Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what legends there are waiting to be uncovered. There is usually a villainous team operating within the region that uses Pokémon to further its goals. Each region also has a Pokémon Professor who teaches new Trainers about Pokémon and typically gives out starter Pokémon to them. Hisui does not have a League, due to it being set in a time where the concept of Pokémon Leagues didn't exist yet. Alola does not have Gyms but instead hosts the island challenge and only recently created a Pokémon League. Once these eight are defeated, Pokémon Trainers can challenge the regional Elite Four and Champion (except Johto, which shares the Indigo League with Kanto). Typically, a region has its own Pokémon League, which includes eight Gym Leaders. Each region has been the setting of at least two games in the generation in which it debuts. They are, in order of appearance, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh (formerly known as Hisui), Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and Paldea. Nine regions have appeared in the core series of Pokémon games.
