Things like all the starters being pure types, Pokeballs originating here and being made by hand, being one of the most rural regions, Pokeathelon being a game honouring a johto guy in the past working together with his pokemon to deliver an antidote to a terrible plague all over kanto, johto, sinnoh and hoenn, pretty much zero objectmons compared to kanto, etc.
