Come see the new tropical region and catch all new Pokémon, battle gyms, and get ribbons. |
Hello, and welcome. My name is Professor Hickory, and let me be the first to welcome you to the wonderful world of Pokemon! In this world, there live people and Pokemon, and we maintain a special balance together. For years, Pokemon and humans have lived alongside each other in peace and harmony. Some people use Pokemon as pets and submit them into special contests in hopes of becoming a top coordinator. For others, it's the thrill of being a trainer that drives them to face the Pokemon League. As for myself, I study the unique way in which this island region, the Curina Region, affects this said balance between humans and Pokemon. Strange things are play here, and I'm counting on you to help me. Your very own Pokemon adventure is about to unfold! Go on, get started! BACKGROUND: The Curina Region is a tropical island region located south of the Hoenn Region. It has a total of 10 cities, and has access to the Sevii Islands. The Cities include: Ugaria Town: A calm and peaceful place where you begin your journey. It's located near the beach, and is where you live, as well as home to Professor Hickory's lab. There is a beach port here where you can travel to the Sevii Islands.

There is a road that leads to Mount Duston, though it is only accessible to those who are strong enough to enter. Legend has it that the Sister Pokemon, Goldie and Silva, live here. Shirogan City: This small city is home to gym the steel type gym leader Stephany, as well as the move deleter. It has a large forest that is great for finding and planting berries. Scarlett City: This ominous city is the heartland of the eerie story surrounding the Curina Region. Legend has it that one of the most powerful trainers nearly caught the God Pokemon, Arceus, here before being cursed by the Angel Pokemon, Lafany, to live the rest of their life as a half Pokemon.
