Tenno Region

Sinnoh-Style Tenno Map

The Tenno Region is a region in the Pokémon World. The word Tenno is derived from the Japanese word for celestial, and as such it is known for its advanced space travel capabilities and space industry. It is technologically advanced in many other aspects as well. Despite its technology, it is also a place of great natural beauty. The Tenno Region is divided into two main sections, Tenno Minor and Tenno Major. Minor is the smaller of the two main land masses and is home to relatively smaller towns while Major, the largest land mass, is full of vast metropolises.

The numbers on the map below all corresponds with a listed location below the map. Match the numbers to see the names and descriptions of various Tenno locations.

  1. Hey. I wonder if Ash must to collect the eight gym badge so he can enter the Pokemon league and Brenda might collect the five ribbons so she would enters the grand festival right here in the Tenno region.

      • Okay. But I know if I want Ash win the Pokemon league in the Kanto region, Johto region, Hoenn region, Sinnoh region, Unova region and Kalos region but lost them for every rivals until he was defeated by Alain with his anger and frustration by use mega evolution.

      • I certainly won’t tell you whether or not Ash is going to win the Tenno League, that would ruin the anticipation. You’re going to have to wait and find out when those episode are released.

    • Information on all currently revealed gym leaders, including what city they can be found in is located on the Tenno League page. If that page does not list a gym leader, it is because they have not been revealed yet.

    • For the most part, Tenno is not based off of any real-life counterpart. Personally, I’m not a giant fan of how Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar are so heavily based off of real-world locations. It just doesn’t feel right to me. While Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh were based off of parts of Japan, they were much more subtle about it. You could play through those regions without ever realizing they’re based off of actual locations. The real-world basis of them is more of a fun trivia fact and less of a defining characteristic, and that’s the way I like it.

      That being said, it could be argued that Tenno is partially based off of Florida, mainly because Kanaveral City is based off of Cape Canaveral, where NASA launches its rockets, but that’s the only obvious similarity. Beyond that, Tenno is semi-tropical region with warm and sunny weather, surrounded by the ocean, much like Florida, but these similarities exist mostly because they are the qualities that make Florida so good a location to launch rockets from, and I want Tenno to have have those qualities as well. Obviously, the land mass itself is shaped nothing like Florida.

  2. Just wondering, if you don’t want to that’s ok but, I’m making my own Pokemon fan game/and possibly also fanfic series, which takes place in a region based on Romania (It would a very mystical, fairytale-esque and ghostly region). And I was wondering if you would like to help me make it, considering how well you made your fanfic series and fan game.

    • I can’t really take an active role in helping to create it, if that’s what you wanted, but I am more than happy to give advice, pass on any experience I have, and act as a sounding board for any ideas you have. Feel free to ask anything you’d like.

      Like

      • Oh ok, still happy that you can give me advice and such. So, firstly, the region’s Gyms will include the types, Fairy, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Psychic. Bug, Steel and the new Sound type. I’m just wondering, do you have any suggestions for what order the Gyms should be faced in to be fair. And also, do you have any ideas for what Sound’s strengths and weaknesses could be?

        Like

        • Right off the back, Steel and Dragon should be two of the later gyms, if not the last two gyms. Both are types that have many resistances, few weaknesses, and are considered powerful and rare types. Bug, on the other hand, for all the opposite reasons would work better as an early game gym, so probably your first gym. The other types are all roughly equal in terms of difficulty, so that will be up to you. I would say the best way to order them is based off of the Pokémon you have for them to use. If you have a really powerful Dark-Type you want to give the gym leader, then I would make the Dark gym later. Likewise, if you don’t have any Fairy-Types that are all that impressive, then make that gym early. Beyond that, just sort by what makes sense geographically. Map out your region and figure out where you want your gyms, which should help you determine order.

          As far as Sound-Type, I don’t really have much. There’s not much in the way of obvious interactions. I suppose it could be strong against Ground, in reference to the idea of using sound waves to create earthquakes. Or perhaps strong against Bug, as loud noises scare bugs. Only other thing I’ve got is maybe strong against Psychic, as sound could disrupt their focus. That’s all I got though, weaknesses are a lot harder in this case.

          Hey, do you have an account on FanFiction? This conversation might be easier via private messages.

            • It’s easy. Find my account profile by clicking on my name anywhere on the website, then click the link that says “PM” next to the envelope icon on the top. Once we have a message going, you can find it in your inbox on the left toolbar of your own account settings page.
