There's a Pokemon World Geography Sticky, which can be found here.

And yes, Kanto and Johto, as well as Hoenn and Shinou, are based off of parts of Japan, I know that Kanto is based off the main island of Japan.

Read the sticky for more information, as well as a map.

All the regions are based on japan....

Here's one thing that I find interesting. Mew was said to be found/discovered in South America. Now, did they just say that for the American version, or does that still carry over to the original Japanese Version? They've found pokemon in the regions based on japan and in space. Are they ever going to step outside of Japan? If Mew is from South America, don't you think there are other pokemon across the globe?

Yeah, like everyone else said, all regions in Pokemon are basically based off Japan, don't know about Orre Region though

Orre is actually based off desert areas in the U.S. state of Arizona or something.
Phenic City in Orre is based off of Phoenix, Arizona, by the way.
