Hoenn : The Abundant Region

Hoenn [Ho-ehn] is a large region to the south-west of Johto, surrounded on all sides by vast areas of ocean. 
 

Culture

Hoenn is the birthplace of Pokémon Contests and the origin of the foodstuff 'Pokéblock' - primarily used as a nutritional supplement for Pokemon, but can also be consumed by humans.

Hoennian people are very social, supporting the idea of a good communicative spirit - not only between one another, but also between themselves and Pokémon. Diving is a popular activity here, as is the practise of building small temporary living accommodations amongst natural habitat, and inviting others to visit them.

The mark of Hoenn's past still remains upon the region in the form of various ancient ruins and the lingering presence of long-established clans from Oci's feudal era.
