Ash and his friends gazing at the view of Porta Vista
Porta Vista (Japanese: アオプルコ Aopulco and ハトバポート Hatoba Port) is an anime-exclusive location in Kanto. The episodes Beauty and the Beach and Tentacool & Tentacruel take place at this location.
Trivia[]
In Japan, Porta Vista was actually split into two locations: Aopulco and Hatoba Port. Since Beauty and the Beach was skipped in the original English dub, however, Tentacool & Tentacreul was actually the US debut of Porta Vista. In Japan, this location was Hatoba Port. However, since a shot of Aopulco was shown at the beginning of the episode, when Beauty and the Beach was dubbed, Porta Vista kept its original name.
