The Indigo Plateau (Japanese: セキエイこうげん Sekiei Kōgen, lit. Quartz Plateau) serves as the capital for the Pokémon League. It is the final destination for Pokémon trainers competing in Indigo or Johto League competitions against the Elite Four. It is also the location of the Indigo Plateau Conference, Kanto Grand Festival and the Pokémon League Village.
The Indigo Plateau is located just north of Victory Road, and east of Mt. Silver. One of the locations of the Battle Pyramid is also nearby.
In the games
In the games, the Indigo Plateau is depicted as a large building surrounded by mountainous areas. On the ground floor is a combined Poké Mart and Pokémon Center. In the upper levels are five separate battle arenas, one for each member of the Elite Four, and one additional for the reigning Champion. The Hall of Fame is located on the top floor, accessible only to Trainers who prove victorious against the Elite Four and their Champion. They must be fought all at a time, with breaks to the Pokémon Center prohibited.
In the anime
The Indigo Plateau first appeared at the end of Bad to the Bone, after Ash and his friends left for the Pokémon League. In the following episode, Ash and the others helped to run the flame of Moltres to Indigo Stadium, and they officially reached the Indigo Plateau. They stayed there until the end of the Pokémon League.
The Indigo Plateau is also the home of Pokémon League Village, where Ash, his friends, and all the other Trainers stayed during the events of the League.
It is also the location of the Kanto Grand Festival.
Trivia
- Its Japanese motto is ポケモン トレーナーの ちょうてん！ ポケモンの さいこう きかん ポケモン リーグ ほんぶ.
Name origin
Indigo is one of the seven traditional colors of the rainbow, a blue-purple color. It also shares its name with the indigo plant. Its name therefore follows the theme of Kanto's cities (as a color) and Johto's cities (as a plant).
In other languages
- Spanish: Meseta Añil
