Kanto is a fictional region that appears in the Pokémon universe. Kanto was the very first region for both the games and the anime to take place in. The Kanto region houses the original 151 Pokémon plus various other Pokémon in the future games. Ash and his friends venture through Kanto for the original Pokémon series. The handheld games Pokémon Red & Blue, Pokémon Gold & Silver, and Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen all take place in Kanto.

The Kanto region has also played a part in the Super Smash Brothers. All of the Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. and most of the Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee come from the Kanto region. Pokémon-themed stages in the Super Smash Bros. series take place in Kanto. These stages are as follows: Saffron City (from Super Smash Bros.); Pokémon Stadium, Poké Floats (from Super Smash Bros. Melee, although the latter is technically designated as being located in "Kanto Skies"); and Pokémon Stadium 2 (from Super Smash Bros. Brawl).
