The Sinnoh region (Japanese: シンオウ地方 Shin'ō-chihō; also romanized as Shinou, Shin'ou) is a region in the Pokémon world, the setting of the Generation IV games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It is based on the geography of the Japanese island of Hokkaido, and according to the anime, the Sinnoh region is located north of the Kanto region.
Geography
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. The region is divided by a mountain range.

Routes
Much like Hoenn before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from the previous region's routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from 201 to 230. Compared to previous generations, there do not seem to be many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing weather conditions was also brought ahead from Generation III.
Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably Route 212, which has two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's Route 114 did this on the Game Boy Advance, it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense.
