Climate and soil conditions varied greatly between regions. Some Pokémon developed new forms after moving to another region and breeding there over time.
For example, Kitakami had Bloodmoon Form Ursaluna originating from Ancient Sinnoh, also known as the Hisui region.
That alone showed how different the place was from other regions. They really ought to go early and acclimate.
Wait, if everyone was thinking the same thing...
Didn't that mean Kitakami was currently packed with talented young Trainers from every region in the world?
Xia Chi's eyes lit up.
To him, that meant something very important-
A new, high-quality mob farm had appeared!
