Kanto courses

Twenty-one live courses on ten Kanto venues. Weather cells are weights from the course files, not a forecast for your next race.

The official line is courses across Kanto, through rain, snow, and all sorts of terrain. The live set matches that: Kanto only. Mt. Silver Ridge sits in the files as a Johto prototype and is not in this table. Other region tracks marked planned are out too. The trailer’s older line about Johto and Hoenn courses is kept on the videos page as a trailer claim, not as a course count.

Cerulean Cape is the worked example in the results screenshot: Medium, Water, 1970 m, Clear 60% · Rain 30% · Sun 10%, with a whirlpool obstacle. Seafoam snow is the race screenshot. Distance labels are Sprint, Mile, Medium, and Long, the same four buckets Team Trials uses. Length in metres is blank in the table when the file has no length, rather than a guess.

Surface counts across the 21: 9 Land, 4 Water, 3 Mixed, 2 Rough, 2 Mountain, 1 Sky. Venue personality text in the files is a one-line description, included here only when I mention a specific course in prose. The table itself shows venue, distance, surface, length, and weather.

21 Kanto courses across 10 venues. Weather weights come from the course files.

Questions

How many tracks are in Poke Derby?

21 Kanto courses on 10 venues in version 1.7.0. Planned tracks in later regions are not counted.

Does the Indigo Finals have its own course?

The finals are three stages: qualifier, semi-final, and final. The course rows list the races that use each track, including cups that feed those stages.

Why do some lengths look empty?

The course file had no metre value. I left the cell blank.
