TrainersTrivia
- Aspertia's Japanese motto is さらなる 発展を 意味する 街.
- Aspertia City is the first hometown in the main series games to be a city, and as such is much larger than other hometowns and has a higher population.
- Aspertia City and Nuvema Town are the only hometowns that share a region.
- Aspertia City is also the first hometown in the main series games to contain:
- Concrete paths
- A Pokémon Gym
- A Pokémon Center
- Because Aspertia City is the only hometown to house a Pokémon Center, it also is the only city in the main series games where the Pokémon Center is not the flying destination, as this trait is given to the player's house.
