What is the name of the first area Ditto explores in Pokémon Pokopia?

The first area Ditto explores in Pokémon Pokopia is the Withered Wasteland.

Ditto awakens there after transforming into a human form and meets Tangrowth, the world’s lonely remaining resident at the start of the story. The area is dry and barren, reflecting the environmental disasters that changed the planet after humanity left.

The Withered Wasteland is based on what was once Fuchsia City and its surrounding area in the Kanto region. Major earthquakes reshaped the terrain, while a prolonged drought left the land depleted. Ditto and Tangrowth therefore begin the restoration effort by finding a way to bring rain back to the area.

The region also contains a Team Rocket facility near the coast. The game’s opening projects establish its central pattern: investigate a damaged place, help Pokémon with requests, restore habitats, and gradually make the world livable again.
