What are these groups in Pokémon Go?
I was poking around Pokémon Go and noticed the Pokédex Pokémon are in groups:
What do these mean?
Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are the names of regions in the mainline Pokemon games. It's shorthand for which Pokemon belong to which generation (although there are some exceptions here and there).
- Generation 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow) - Kanto
- Generation 2 (Gold/Silver/Crystal) - Johto
- Generation 3 (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald) - Hoenn
- Generation 4 (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum) - Sinnoh
