It's my understanding, that in the games at least, one cannot access the tail region of Sinnoh.
Reading information on Almia Region (Pokemon Rangers) and Orre (Pokemon Colleseum), theory speculates that Almia might, at least, be potentially the tail section of Sinnoh. Then again, looking at the trivia page of Sinnoh it says the following:
Pulling up Almia's bulba page, information is the following:
But it say in design concept it is possibly based on the Oshima and Hiyama subprefectures of Hokkaido, the real-life inspiration for the Sinnoh region.
I understand that Almia & Fiore have their own games in the Ranger games. A quick check of the Fiore region says:
In reference to all of this:
For me, head canon, I imagine this:
Out of curiosity, do you think that Gamefreak/Nintendo has ever thought of having Ash or someone starting their journey from Orre or Almia/Fiore/Oblivia Islands? We know there must be someone from ranger series due to the pokemon rangers seen in...what was it? The Heatran episode and then...another episode but it doesn't come to mind....the lady with the plusle and minun partners I think.
On the topic of the tail end of Sinnoh. Do you think Gamefreak might ever allow players to ever access that area? Or do you think it could be considered part of another region.
Do you think we might see the island above that belongs to Russia potentially in a game region based on Russia?

Pulling up Sakhalin:Only the southern part of the now-Russian island of Sakhalin is referenced in the region. In the 1855 Treaty of Shimoda, Russia and Japan agreed to split the island, with Japan receiving the southern end. While Japan gave Russia full control of Sakhalin in 1875 in exchange for the Kuril Islands, Japan was again given the southern 2/5ths of the island after the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, and would retain control until 1945.

Pulling up Almia's bulba page, information is the following:
Almia introduces a vast selection of different geographical elements, such as a volcanic island, a desert and a valley that is constantly covered in ice. It seems to be based on the "tailpiece" of Hokkaido, which Sinnoh region is based on, though the relation between the two is unknown. It also geographically resembles Greece and Turkey, but the relationship between them is also unknown.

I understand that Almia & Fiore have their own games in the Ranger games. A quick check of the Fiore region says:
Fiore (Japanese: フィオレ地方 Fiore-chihō) is the setting for the first Pokémon Ranger game. Its name is Italian for "flower". It may be somewhat far from the Sinnoh region, since in the in-game Manaphy event, Professor Hastings suggests sending the Manaphy Egg to Sinnoh as a response to the term "somewhere far away."

In reference to all of this:
- Do you believe that Almia, Fiore and by extension Orre on are on different continents so to speak from Kanto, Sinnoh, Johto, Sevii Islands?
- Should Ash (or say new protagonist if Pokemon ever got rid of Ash) visit these side regions?
- Kanto, Sinnoh and Johto are all relatively on the same continent with the Sevii Islands being off the coast of Kanto.
- Hoenn is somewhere in whatever ocean southwest of Johto.
- If we factor in that Almia is potentially the tail end of Sinnoh and potentially connected to Orre through the desert, then that means they're within walking distance but a ferry ride perhaps away from Sinnoh.
- Kalos is supposedly based on France and Galar on the United Kingdom (personally it looks more like England/potentially Wales to me)...so those could be feasibly reached by train and be close together.
- Unova is likely on a different continent due to being based on New York.
- Alola, if we go that it is based on Hawaii is likely somewhere southwest of Unova.
- If we factor in the Orange Islands from the anime, then that strikes me as being somewhere off the coast of Johto, just to how they went from Kanto to Orange Islands to Johto.
For me, head canon, I imagine this:
- Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh are relatively the same places in game.
- Sevii Islands are off the southwest of Kanto.
- Orange Archipelago is somewhere off of Johto.
- Galar & Kalos are somehow connected, possibly within train distance.
- Almia & Fiore are on the same continent, somewhere north of Sinnoh.
Hoenn is somewhere southwest of the orange archipelago & Johto/Kanto. - See in my head I see Unova being on a different continent since it's meant to be based on NYC (I think). Alola would be generally where Hawaii is so off the southwest of this huge continent with Unova generally where NY is. But going on the delacor islands page), it seems that is not the case, and it might be on the same continent as Galar & Kalos.
- Oblivia Islands, south of Fiore and Almia (again according to its page).
- Delacor Islands apparently is somewhere between Unova & Kanto (according to the bulbapedia page).
