Pokémon Forest
Stretching approximately 500 meters, the Pokémon Forest offers a diverse terrain, including uneven roads, grassy areas, tunnels, and mountain paths. Trainers and aspiring trainers can observe Pokémon, which primarily originate from the Kanto region, in their natural habitat, trading berries and engaging in battle.
Keep your eyes peeled, as not all Pokémon are easy to find. Some camouflage themselves in thick foliage, making it difficult for visitors to spot them.
Sedge Town
Have you always wanted a meeting place for trainers from all over the world? PokéPark Kanto offers just that with Sedge Town. The city’s market for Pokémon trainers is a paradise for merchandise fans. You’ll also find a Pokémon Center and a gym here.
The highlight is the city’s welcoming parade, where the Pokémon gather and welcome their guests. Meanwhile, the Primarina Fountain in the heart of the city invites you to linger a little.
