What is the Lental region in Pokemon?

New Pokemon Snap is introducing a new region never seen before in games, anime, or elsewhere.

This new region is known as the Lental region. This is where New Pokemon Snap takes place. Players will be tasked with creating a Photo Dex in this region, taking pictures of the various Pokemon.

There is still a lot to learn about the Lental region. That will more than likely take place after the release of New Pokemon Snap on April 30, 2021. Until then, fans only know the details given thus far.

According to details about New Pokemon Snap, the Lental region is relatively untouched. It hosts wild Pokemon from all across the world and does not appear to have any new creatures to add to the Pokedex.

The Lental region itself is an archipelago with various ecosystems such as beaches, jungles, and deserts. An archipelago is a word used to describe a small group of islands.
