Which Pokémon Pokopia location is known as Ditto’s starting area?

The Withered Wastelands are Ditto’s starting area in Pokémon Pokopia.

Ditto awakens there after a long slumber, beginning the game in a desolate environment where the player first encounters Tangrowth. The area establishes the game’s central contrast: a damaged world that can gradually be transformed into a welcoming Pokémon community.

The location is one of several named regions in the game. Other areas include Bleak Beach, Rocky Ridges, Sparkling Skylands, Palette Town, Cloud Island, and Bubbly Basin. Players travel between developed homes in these ruined areas as they expand their settlement.

The singular form can cause confusion because the English location name is officially plural: Withered Wastelands. It is also distinct from the general idea of a wasteland used to describe the game’s post-apocalyptic setting.
