Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Pokémon universe, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Also, I suggest that you don't try to correct other editors' use of English, since you have replaced the perfectly correct "it would be better if there were some information" with "it would be better if there are some information", which is not accepted English usage.

Wikipedia
editThe Pokémon universe is a fictional continuity construct that exists in stories and works of fiction by video game company Game Freak. The Pokémon universe takes place in three different locations: the Pokémon world, Deoxy's Unnamed world, and Unknown Dimensions.
The Pokémon world is the main planet of Pokémon, and it resembles Earth very much. The planet consists of various landforms, bodies of water and sustainable temperature. Towns are built around nature, which is just like Earth's civilizations. The Pokémon world is split into large regions that resemble continents: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, and other small regionless islands. Just like Earth, the Pokemon world have areas with different biomes like forests, deserts, jungles, and coastal beaches. The Hoenn and the Sinnoh regions boast many dramatic environments ranging from rainforests to deserts. The Pokémon world is mainly green and lush, and many wild Pokemons live in grasses.
Deoxys' unnamed world is a world that exists in another dimension. This world was only shown on anime in Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 1). In this episode, Deoxys, a pokemon, hid in the Pokemon world due to a meteor. This meteor's powerful forces hurt Deoxys, and in order to convince Max to help him, Deoxys takes Max to the other dimension. Deoxys had to hide in the Pokémon world because of the force created by the meteor. The geomagnetic forces were too powerful for it to handle and caused it intense pain. Deoxys took Max to another dimension to try to communicate with him about what was causing it pain. In order to do that though, Deoxys also kidnapped Meowth to speak with Max. After Ash, Brock, May and Solana fight Deoxxys to get Max back, Solana use Miltank's Heal Bell to heal him. Deoxys flies away, never to be seen. This world is not seen after these few episodes.

These themes of collecting, training, and battling are present in almost every version of the Pokémon franchise, including the video games, the anime and manga series, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Settings[edit | edit source] There are several regions that have appeared in the various media of the Pokémon franchise. Each of the seven generations of the main series releases focuses on a new region. Moreover, several regions have been introduced in spin-off games, and one in the Pokémon anime, though most of these are still within the same fictional universe. Usually, the different regions are not accessible from one another via land (or at all within a single game), with the exception being Kanto, which can be accessed from Johto and vice versa in the Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver versions.
Every region consists of several cities and towns that the player must explore in order to overcome many waiting challenges such as Gyms, Contests, and villainous teams. At different locations within each region, the player can find different types of Pokémon, as well as helpful items and characters. Many regions are on separate continents,[citation needed] though many are based on parts of the real-world country of Japan (and the United States/France in the cases of Unova/Kalos). Most regions feature locations that have some significance to the story and are unique in that they have unique properties and usually involve myths.
Kanto[edit | edit source] See also: Pokémon Red and Blue § Setting The Kanto Region is the setting of the first generation of Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Blue, their sequel Pokémon Yellow and their remakes, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Based on the real life Kantō region of Japan, this setting made a staple for the geography and culture of the game's region to be based on a real world setting. This region is also visited in Pokémon Gold and Silver and their remakes. The Kanto Region is also the first region to be released in Pokemon Go.
Serving as the home of the original 151 Pokémon, the region also introduced the common theme of each region having a separate team of antagonists, each with their own goals, outfits, and leader. This region is motivated by Kanto region in Japan which includes Okinawa and Kyushu.
Johto[edit | edit source] See also: Pokémon Gold and Silver § Setting The Johto Region is the setting of the second generation of Pokémon games, which includes Pokémon Gold and Silver, Pokémon Crystal, and their remakes, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Again based on an area of Japan, this game's geography is based upon the Kansai, Tokai and eastern Shikoku areas of the country. The game setting shares its abundance of the region's temples, a famous architectural design of the Kansai region and its geographical sights such as Mount Fuji and Naruto whirlpools.
The Johto Region introduced 100 new Pokémon, but kept Team Rocket as the main antagonists. This generation of the series also started the tradition of having the region's legendary Pokémon on the box art. It also introduced two new types of Pokémon, Steel and Dark types.
In the second year of Pokémon Go, the Johto region was introduced to the game. Trainers had Steel and Dark type Pokémons to look forward to, such as Skarmory and Umbreon. They also introduced some of the Generation 1 evolutions, like Blissey and Steelix. There were also entirely new Pokémon, examples Tyranitar and Sentret.
Hoenn[edit | edit source] See also: Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire § Setting The Hoenn Region is the setting of the third generation of Pokémon games, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and Pokémon Emerald as well as their remakes Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. This time being based on the Japanese island of Kyushu, the real world and game region share having an abundance of smaller islands around the main one and also share the subtropical climate. Along with Sinnoh, this region is known to have the biggest range of various natural environments such as rainforests and deserts.
Along with 135 new Pokémon species, this setting also introduced a new team of antagonists, different depending on if the player bought Ruby or Sapphire (though both teams appear in Emerald). The teams were Team Magma and Team Aqua, respectively for each game.
Sinnoh[edit | edit source] The Sinnoh Region is the setting of the fourth generation of Pokémon games, which encompasses the setting of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, with their sequel Pokémon Platinum. It is based on the northernmost island of Japan, Hokkaidō. The region was meant to have a 'northern' feel, with some routes being entirely covered in snow. Along with Hoenn, this region is known to have the biggest range of various natural environments such as rainforests and deserts.
The Sinnoh region introduced 107 new Pokémon and the antagonists of this region were Team Galactic. The game also introduced Arceus, a secret Pokémon who serves as the creator deity of the Pokémon universe.
Unova[edit | edit source] The Unova Region region is the setting of the fifth generation of Pokémon games, which encompassed the setting of Pokémon Black and White, with their sequels Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 (the first time that the generation sequel did not feature one game). For the first time in the main series, the region was based on a region outside Japan, with Unova taking inspiration from New York City, more specifically the island of Manhattan.
The antagonists, Team Plasma, were slightly based on the Knights Templar, though in Black 2 and White 2 they have a pirate motif. The Unova region introduced 156 new Pokémon, the most of any previous region.
Kalos[edit | edit source] The Kalos Region is the setting of the sixth generation of Pokémon games, which is where the games Pokémon X and Y take place. Like generation five, this sixth generation of Pokémon is based on a region not within Japan, and for the first time is a European style setting, being inspired almost entirely by France, with landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower having their own representations here, along with a French style of music and fashion.
This time, the antagonists of the game were Team Flare, and the game also shed some light on the Pokémon Earth history, more specifically 3,000 years before the series first game. The region introduced the fewest number of new Pokémon, totaling about 72. A new Fairy type was added, and for the first time in the main series, the games, both the over-world and the Pokémon battles, were in fully-fledged 3D. It also introduced Mega Evolution, which allows certain fully evolved Pokémon to transform to their full potential. It could only be sustained inside battle and each Mega-evolving Pokémon must have their own unique Mega Stone, with the exception of Rayquaza.
Alola[edit | edit source] The Alola Region is the setting of the seventh generation of Pokémon games in the Pokémon Sun and Moon games. This region is based on the Hawaiian islands, marking the second time a main entry Pokémon game setting has been inspired by a U.S. state. The name itself is a play on the word "aloha," the Hawaiian word for both "hello" and "goodbye."
The game's antagonists are Team Skull and Aether Foundation. For the first time, classic Pokémon are reintroduced with new typings, such as fire types Vulpix and Ninetales now being ice types, also featuring new designs. These are known as Alolan-variants. They introduced 81 new Pokémon.
Chronology[edit | edit source] Creation[edit | edit source] In the beginning, there was nothing but chaos. Then, at the center of the chaos, an egg appeared, from which hatched Arceus. Arceus then created Dialga, the embodiment of time, Palkia, the embodiment of space, and Giratina, the embodiment of antimatter. Arceus then created Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie; the spirits of willpower, emotion and knowledge, respectively. These three things are known to be three traits that humans have. Anybody who possesses Dialga and Palkia can rule space or time.
After creating the Pokémon Earth, Arceus went into a unyielding sleep.

editHi! I wanted to extend a bit of caution - I saw that on Pokémon universe you used Bulbapedia, which is a fan wiki that anyone can edit. Sites like these are almost never seen as a reliable source on Wikipedia because of this, so it's extremely likely that material sourced to this wiki will be removed - meaning that there's a high chance that they may remove all of the content you added, not just the material sourced to Bulbapedia. It hasn't been done yet, but that doesn't mean that it can't happen, so it would be good to look for other sourcing to back up the content. You can use primary sources (like anything released by Nintendo or such), but wikis aren't a good idea for sourcing. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:15, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
