The Sevii Islands (Japanese: 七島（ナナシマ） Nanashima) are an archipelago of nine large islands and several small islands surrounding them far south of Kanto. They resemble the real-life Izu Islands. They have appeared only in the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen versions. According to a recent anime map, the Orange Islands are south of the Sevii Islands with New Island in between them.
The Islands
Accessibility
In FireRed and LeafGreen, Sevii Islands are accessible from the Vermilion City harbor via a system of boats called the Seagallop Ferries. To be able to access Knot, Boon, and Kin Islands, one needs a Tri-Pass, received from Bill after defeating Blaine on Cinnabar Island. To be able to access Floe, Chrono, Fortune, and Quest Islands, one needs a Rainbow Pass, received from Celio in One Island, after defeating the Elite Four and obtaining the National Pokédex. To be able to access Navel Rock, one needs a Mysticticket, and to be able to access Birth Island, one needs a Aurora Ticket, both of which can be obtained promotionally with Mystery Gift.
According to an old woman on Quest Island, they were named the Sevii Islands because they were made in seven days.
Trivia
- The name possibly comes from seven and the Roman numeral for seven, VII. The Japanese name Nanashima literally means seven islands.
- Although there are only nine islands total, some data in the game reserved for location name index points reveal the following values:
- Sevii Isle 6
- Sevii Isle 7
- Sevii Isle 8
- Sevii Isle 9
- Sevii Isle 22
- Sevii Isle 23
- Sevii Isle 24
- These areas are not accessible during normal gameplay. All of them, save for Sevii Isle 8 and Sevii Isle 9, have no map data.
- Another thing about the Sevii Islands is that the more southern ones (i.e. Floe, Chrono, Fortune, and Quest Islands) use remixed versions of music originally used in the routes and towns of Johto in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal.
- The routes on the Sevii Islands are not numbered, unlike the other regions. This is likely to prevent confusion as to their relation to the others, as continuing where Johto left off (at Route 46, at the time the highest-numbered Johto route) would seemingly imply that Johto is accessible in the games.
- Even though HeartGold and SoulSilver are considered to be the sequels to FireRed and LeafGreen, like how Gold and Silver were sequels to Red and Green, the Sevii Islands do not appear in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- The only appearance of the islands in the anime was in the episode The Search for the Legend. Due to a dub error, no reference was made to Sevii, but it's clear that the episode takes place on Knot Island, and there are references in the original Japanese version. In the episode, it is revealed the S.S. Anne used to travel there.
- Of the regions appearing in the main series games at all, the Sevii Islands appear in the fewest, appearing only in FireRed and LeafGreen.
