The Kanto region (Japanese: カントー地方 Kantō-chihō) is a large area located east of Johto. It is the first region to be introduced, explored in the Generation I games Pokémon Green, Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow and in the Generation III games Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Kanto is also accessible in the Generation II games Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal. Most of the names of the cities in Kanto are the names of colors (Viridian, Lavender, Indigo Plateau, etc.). Professor Oak is the resident Pokémon professor and gives trainers a choice between Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle as their choice for a starter Pokémon. In the games, the player begins his or her journey in Pallet Town and ends at the Indigo Plateau to become the League Champion.

In Generation II
In the Generation II games, trainers may travel from Johto to Kanto and notice that changes have occurred as a result of the three years having passed since the time of the Generation I games:
- Safari Zone is closed.
- Cerulean Cave has been blocked off.
- Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its gym was temporarily relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
- Viridian Forest and Mt. Moon have changed in size.
- Power Plant has become functional.
- Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower.
- Blue has remade Giovanni's former gym and functions as the Gym Leader.
- Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym, seeing as her father Koga has been promoted to the Elite Four.
In Generation III
In Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen, Kanto is very much as in the original games, with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay. Additionally, the first three in a chain of islands known as the Sevii Islands, located south of Kanto, are unlocked once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. Championing the Elite Four unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.
