What do you call people from Kanto or Sinnoh?

The proper term for a Kanto native is "Kantoan", while Sinnoh natives have no proper name, since they are utterly ignored by most people.
 
Kantoian.
Johtoian.
Hoennite.
Sinnohan.

Hoenn's the weird one, because it ends with a different syllable. Sinnoh is different because of the h, it'd make it look like it's pronounced "Sin-no-hi-an", so it's just "Sin-noh-an".

I never thought about it before, but I guess I'd call them Kantonians and Sinnohans.

While I'm thinking about it I'd probably call other regions' citizens Johtans (haha that kinda sounds like Jotunn), Hoenns, Unovans, Kalosians, and Alolans.

Thank you for this-I saw too many misspellings of "Kantonian." :p

And I agree-Hoennese should have been the correct terminology. It flows better, imo.
 
I have a funny name for people from kanto;

Crazatoians.

Since Kanto was when the pokemon craze was on; both in 1999 and on pokemon go xD
 
Well, it's nice to know that the correct name is "Kantonian" -- that's the one I'd always used!
