Batin

Batin (pronounced bah-tin) is a region that appears in the Generation XI games Pokémon Infrared and Ultraviolet, and their sequel Pokémon Gamma Ray. Batin is possibly the largest region to date in any Pokémon game, and it is located to the immediate south of Kanto and Johto, and to the east of Hoenn. There are a few new Pokemon in this region.

Batin's regional professor, Professor Cycad, hands out the Kalos starter Pokemon to new trainers; Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie. Later on, you can get a new Fakemon starter.

History
Batin's isolation by sea currents meant that there were few Pokemon in the region until it became more civilised. Parts of the region remain unexplored, but there are new Pokemon that were discovered by explorers in the region.

Geography
Very varied, from icy mountains to tropical rainforests and everything in between.
