Retro Kanto is a re-creation of the classic adventure from Red and Green. Players can re-live this nostalgic adventure, battling their way through 8 Gyms and the Elite Four to become Champion in this land of pixelated nostalgia. Though familiar, a few unique surprises await curious players. Retro Kanto was built by Jext.
Players can access Retro Kanto via the Airport. To leave the region, talk to the right attendant in any Pokémon Center. New and returning players begin their adventure in Pallet Town.
