Pokemon GO: An Updated List of All the Game's Region…

Pokemon GO is a game that stands proud in its unique and addictive gameplay loop. Capturing the attention of most of the globe upon its initial release in 2016, the locational importance of the use of augmented reality within Pokemon GO is ultimately responsible for the game's roaring success.

A fan-favorite aspect of this locational focus is the existence of region-specific Pokemon available for capture to lucky players. However, with the rapid pace at which new Pokemon get added to the game, it is more than easy enough for players to lose track of what Pokemon are specific to which regions.

Kanto Region

The Kanto Region was the first region to be implemented with the launch of Pokemon GO, and saw the first regional-specific Pokemon be launched into the game world. In total, there were four Pokemon introduced with Kanto, each only unlockable by players within a specific part of the world.

Mr Mime - The original region-specific Pokemon for Europe, a powerful psychic/fairy type.
Tauros - The original region-specific Pokemon for North America, a normal type.
Kangaskhan - The original region-specific Pokemon for Australia, another normal type.
Farfetch'd - The original region-specific Pokemon for Asia, a flying type.

Johto Region

The second region added to the game was the Johto Region, which brought with it new region-specific Pokemon. In total, only two new region-locked Pokemon were added.

Heracross - Exclusive to Central and South America, a bug/fighting type.
Corsola - Unique in that is exclusive only to tropical regions all over the world, a water/rock type.

Hoenn Region

With the introduction of the Hoenn Region came a fair amount of new region-specific Pokemon. In total, nine region-locked Pokemon were added.

Volbeat - Exclusive to Europe, Asia, and Australia, a bug type.
Illumise - The female counterpart of Volbeat, available in the Americas and Africa.
