'''Jubilife City''' (Japanese: '''コトブキシティ''' ''Kotobuki City'') is a city in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]]. The entire city is built on land carved out of a mountain by the residents of neighboring [[Oreburgh City]]. Jubilife is the most modernized city in the region, and according to the anime, the largest city in [[Sinnoh]]. It is the sixth largest city in the [[Pokémon world]]. The city can be accessed from all four directions, with a [[gate]] occupying the west entrance.

There are many distinctive buildings in Jubilife City, including the [[Jubilife TV|TV station]], where [[Mystery Gift]] can be activated, the [[Pokétch Company]], the [[Trainers' School]], and one of the most important establishments in the game, the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]], which allows players to trade Pokémon with anyone across the entire world.

==Places of interest==
===Jubilife TV===
{{main|Jubilife TV}}

{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Jubilife TV}}
{{sign|DPcity|The Fun-and-Games TV Station!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The Jubilife TV station is a noticeable big, white and cube-shaped building located in the northern section of the city. A Pokétch campaign {{tc|Clown}} blocks the main doors until the player defeats the {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s at the north end of the city; this event happens upon returning from Oreburgh City with the {{Badge|Coal}}.

Inside the building, the Jubilife TV station is home to the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]]. In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, a Trainer also appears in the lobby and can be fought once a day, depending on the current [[Days of the week|day of the week]]. On the second floor, Trainers can dress up their Pokémon using their [[Accessory|Accessories]]. On the third floor, players can see various rankings set by those they have [[Mixing records|mixed records]] with. Additionally, a man on the third floor allows the player to activate [[Mystery Gift]].

A man standing outside the TV station will give the player the option to form a [[group]]. By [[mixing records]] with other players, a player is allowed to join any group of which their friend is a member, upon speaking with the man again.

===Global Trade Station / Global Terminal===
{{main|Global Terminal}}
[[File:GTS Platinum.png|300px|thumb|right|The Global Terminal in {{game|Platinum}}]]
The Global Trade Station is located in the southwestern section of the city. Within the building, players have the opportunity to trade Pokémon with other players around the world. In order to access the GTS, the player must have the {{Badge|Coal}}.

Inside, there is a large globe, called Geonet, on which players can indicate their location, and on which small dots representing players they have traded with will appear. If the player talks with the woman at the counter, she will direct {{ga|Lucas|him}} or {{ga|Dawn|her}} into a room in which they can either put up a Pokémon to be traded or trade a Pokémon they own for one that has been put up for trade. Pokémon searches, after being confined to one species that has been seen by the player, can be further narrowed down to [[level]] and [[gender]] of the Pokémon available. By level, players can search for and request Pokémon level 9 and under, level 10 and up, level 20 and up, and so on to level 100, or they can search for Pokémon of any level. Gender is similar, with the player being able to search for male, female, or either gender of the selected Pokémon. Pokémon offerings are similarly governed, as the requested Pokémon in return cannot be any Pokémon that the player has not seen. Unfortunately, Pokémon that are offered cannot be bargained, as the player has to choose one Pokémon he or she wants for it, instead of having a more flexible list.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the GTS has been redesigned to be larger and contain more features. It is located in the same place as the older GTS, in Jubilife City, with its name changed to the Global Terminal. One addition is a woman who gives away a random [[Backdrop]] daily, rather than initially winning them in the daily lottery. Other than the regular trading feature, there is a new feature where players may exchange Pokémon with another friend. The Global Terminal is apparently a computer-like machine which the player operates. The [[Vs. Recorder]], also introduced in {{game|Platinum}}, has the ability to record and replay battles made in-game. A player may send and receive battles over Nintendo Wi-Fi using the Global Station. These battles can also be ranked by popularity and be watched by people on Wi-Fi. In addition, players can take pictures of their PC storage boxes and send them over Wi-Fi to friends. The GTS has incorporated an e-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. The notification messages are sent to the player's actual e-mail address, and so the messages can be viewed either on a PC, mobile phone or a [[Wii]] console. In this way, the player will be spared of having to return to the GTS only to find that a trade has not yet been completed.

===Pokétch Company===
{{main|Pokétch Company}}

{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|The Pokétch Company}}
{{sign|DPcity|Pokémon Watches for the World!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The Pokétch Company's headquarters is located in the northwestern section of the city. The Pokétch Company is a family-owned company, and the manufacturer of the Pokétch. It is relatively small, unlike [[Silph Co.]] or the [[Devon Corporation]], and actually started as a hobby of the owner, who made what he liked before the business grew to its present state. The building has three floors, in which the family of the president of the company reside in. The president holds a promotion to receive a free [[Pokétch]] in Jubilife City, if three clowns with Pokémon trivia questions can be found, and coupons collected from each. He will also give new Pokétch applications out to the player.

===Trainers' School===
{{main|Trainers' School}}

{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Trainers' School}}
{{sign|DPcity|The First Step for Trainers!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The Trainers' School is located in the center of the city, west of the [[Pokémon Center]]. The School features tutorials on how to raise Pokémon. There are two adjoined rooms in the School. The kids on the left room have some basic information about the game of [[Pokémon]]. On the table is a notebook with notes on {{pkmn|Trainer}}s written inside. [[Status ailment]]s and their effects are listed on the chalkboard at the back. In the room on the right, there are two {{tc|School Kid}}s on a blue carpet who will ask the player to battle. There is a version-dependent reward for defeating them both. If the {{tc|School Kid}}s inside are defeated, they hand out {{TM|10|Hidden Power}} on {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, or a {{DL|Potion|Potion}} on {{v2|Platinum}}.

On the {{player}}'s first visit to the School, their [[rival]] is situated at the back of the room, reading the chalkboard. Upon talking to the rival, the player will deliver the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Parcel}} entrusted to them by the rival's mother back in [[Twinleaf Town]]. Two [[Town Map]]s are found inside the Parcel, and the rival will give the player one.

===Jubilife Condominiums===
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Jubilife Condominiums}}
{{sign|DPcity|Tenants Wanted!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

Jubilife Condominiums is located in the northeastern section of the city. The building has two floors. On the ground floor, an old lady says how fetching a [[Pokétch]] is, and the young girl with a {{p|Pachirisu}} and {{p|Pikachu}} gives the {{player}} a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Quick Claw}}. On the second floor, a girl tells about the advantage of {{DL|Poké Ball|Heal Ball}}s and the guy in {{tc|Bug Catcher}} apparel lectures on new [[move]]s. This floor is an educational one for new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl===
[[File:Jubilife City DP.png|thumb|right|300px|Jubilife City in Diamond and Pearl]]
The population is 87, making it one of the largest cities in the [[Pokémon world]] and the second biggest in [[Sinnoh]].

===Pokémon Platinum===
The population is 124, making it fourth largest city in the [[Pokémon world]] and the biggest in [[Sinnoh]]. The reason for such dramatic increase from Diamond and Pearl is the expansion of the Global Trade Station to the [[Global Terminal]].

==Trainers==
There is one battle in the streets of Jubilife itself: a [[Double Battle]] against two Galactic Grunts. It is fought alongside the other protagonist ({{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}}), who is there on business with [[Professor Rowan]]. Upon defeating them, a worker for Jubilife TV gives the player the [[Fashion Case]], and the TV building is thereafter accessible.

{{incomplete|section}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Jubilife City the setting of ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]'', therefore being the starting point of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl|seventh chapter}}. The rounds ''[[PS339|A Bevy of Bidoof]]'',  ''[[PS390|Licking Lickitung]]'' and ''[[PS391|Luring in a Lickilicky]]'' are also set in the city. Like many major cities of the Sinnoh region, the city houses a Grand Hotel where the main trio stays.

==Trivia==
* Jubilife's Japanese town motto is {{tt|ひとがつどう しあわせのまち|The town of happiness where people gather}}.
* During the battle with Team Galactic, a grunt mentions that he will "{{wp|Giant Enemy Crab|cause massive damage}}" to the professor's assistant, whether they are {{ga|Dawn}} or {{ga|Lucas}}.
* Jubilife City is the site in which successful [[tweaking]] can result in a walkable abyss leading to possibly {{p|Darkrai}} or {{p|Shaymin}} without the need of the events.
* Jubilife City is the only major city in Sinnoh that doesn't have a Gym.
** In every other region of the main series games, the first city the player visits contains a Gym. Jubilife is the only city to not follow this trend.
* A building south of the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station/Global Terminal]] contains two [[Non-player character|NPCs]] whose names are "Wi" and "Fi", a direct reference to [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].
* Jubilife City is based on {{wp|Sapporo}}, {{wp|Hokkaidō}}, a major city in that prefecture. Both are large cities in about the same place when Hokkaidō and Sinnoh are compared.
