The Paldea region (Japanese: パルデア地方 Paldea region) is a region of the Pokémon world, and the ninth core series region to be introduced. It is the setting of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Etymology and design concept
Etymology
Paldea may be derived from pal (friend or ally) or paideia (education or learning) and aldea, the Spanish word for village or hamlet.
Design concept
- Main article: Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Paldea
Paldea is based on the Iberian Peninsula, mainly in Spain. Spain's influence is heavily present in the culture of the Paldea region, with numerous Spanish influences in architecture, gastronomy, the toponymy of multiple cities and towns, festivities and in the design and name of some new Pokémon in this region. The sporadic use of Spanish words by the locals of Paldea is also quite frequent, as well as the abundance of typically Spanish given names for many of the NPCs.
History
Dated history
- c. 1,000,000 years prior: The Great Crater of Paldea was formed.
- c. 2,000 years prior:
- The Paldean Empire began to rule Paldea.
- The emperor ushered in the Great Age of Exploration by sending expeditions into The Great Crater of Paldea to find the treasure rumored to lie inside Area Zero.
- c. 1,000 years prior: The Paldean Empire fell into decline due to the expense of supporting countless failed Area Zero expeditions.
- 805 years prior: Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV was founded in Mesagoza.
- c. 800 years prior: The Paldean Empire unified with its neighboring countries, establishing the modern Paldea region.
- 200 years prior:
- The Area Zero Expedition claimed to have become the first exploration team to reach the bottom of Area Zero. Team member Heath, a famed author and natural historian, published his account of the expedition as the Scarlet BookS/Violet BookV. The book's contents proved to be so fantastical that Heath and the rest of the Area Zero Expedition were accused of lying and widely discredited.
- The Area Zero Expedition planted Herba Mystica, a plant they discovered in Area Zero, in five sites around Paldea in an attempt to cultivate it. They abandoned the project when local Pokémon consumed the Herba Mystica and grew into fearsome Titans.
- c. 140 years prior: Terastallized Pokémon were discovered for the first time in Area Zero.
- 87 years prior: A research facility was constructed in Area Zero.
- c. 10 years prior: Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV discovered that the energy emitted by the crystals in Area Zero causes the Terastal phenomenon. The professor proceeded to invent the Tera Orb technology, sharing it with the Pokémon League and the Academy.
- c. One and a half years prior:
- Nemona passed the Paldea League's Champion Assessment and became the youngest person in Paldean history to achieve Champion Rank.
- Team Star confronted their bullies at Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV in a clash that caused a scandal for the school. Team Star's leader, Penny, secretly came forward and accepted full blame for the incident. Recognizing the bullying problem as a failure of his administration, Director Harrington gave Penny a lenient punishment and then resigned along with all other teaching staff at the time. Penny temporarily returned to her homeland of Galar to continue her studies. The other members of Team Star, unaware of why their boss ceased communicating with them, stopped attending classes and maintained the organization while they waited for their boss's return.
- Clavell and his assistant Jacq left their jobs as researchers to work for Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV. Clavell became the academy's director, and Jacq became a biology teacher.
- Tyme retired as the Gym Leader of Montenevera to work as a mathematics teacher at Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV. Ryme succeeded her sister as Montenevera's Gym Leader.
