Steven shakes his head. "It's not," he says. "Not here in Johto and not in Kanto. Not in Sinnoh either. But there's a lot of different regions out there and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them restrict importing Pokemon from other regions, leading to the Team turning smuggler. Unova, especially--I'm told that they don't have any species there that originate from other regions. It's a far cry from here where you'll find Alolan, Galarian, and Kalosian living alongside Johto Pokemon."
