===The Slateport Market===
===Slateport Market===
The Slateport Market is an open-air bazaar featuring items that can't be easily found anywhere else. The Slateport Markets have been in business since the creation of Slateport City itself as the clean water made the food abundant in the area, so a local market started to grow. The Slateport Markets are situated next to the ocean, so the scent of the salty sea seeps through the air. There is a place to buy [[Secret Base]] {{cat|decorations}}, [[vitamin]]s and fresh seaweed there.

{{main|Oceanic Museum}}
{{main|Oceanic Museum}}
The Oceanic Museum is a large two-floored museum located in the eastern district of Slateport. The museum was built by [[Captain Stern]] to teach others of the ocean and the ocean floor. There is a {{PDollar}}50 entrance fee which must be paid as soon as entrance. The first floor contains information about the sea. There are seven exhibits, each with a different piece of information about the sea. On the western wing, there are experiments and displays involving {{m|Whirlpool}}s, {{m|Waterfall}}s, buoyancy, and fossilization. While, on the eastern wing, there are displays and samples of ancient beach sand, and old sedimentary rocks, as well as fun facts about the sea. On the second floor, there are nine more exhibits, which include models of the [[Hoenn]] region and the ship [[S.S. Anne]]. The museum can be entered free of charge before Team Magma or Team Aqua leave, as the reception believes that the player is part of their group. However, it only works if he/she lacks the {{PDollar}}50 fee, which will prompt the receptionist to believe that the player is part of either Team Magma or Team Aqua.

===Pokémon Fan Club===
{{main|Pokémon Fan Club}}
{{main|Pokémon Fan Club}}
Slateport is the home to the headquarters for the [[Hoenn]] branch of the Pokémon Fan Club. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and [[Pokémon Contest]]s than [[Pokémon battle]]s. The people in the Fan Club adore their Pokémon and give friendly advice. One of the women in the fan club will give away a {{DL|Held item|Soothe Bell}} if the player's Pokémon has a high happiness. In {{v2|Emerald}}, people show off their Pokémon in contests because the [[Pokémon Contest]] hall in [[Lilycove City]] is too far to travel. The Hoenn Pokémon Fan Club Chairman sits in the center of the club house. He claims to have raised over 100 different Pokémon in his lifetime. He travels across the nation on his {{p|Fearow}}.

{{main|Stern's Shipyard}}
Stern's Shipyard is a building owned by [[Captain Stern]]. Stern's Shipyard is a large brown building surrounded by a fence, located next to the ocean. In front of the building are two houses, and around the building are three small wooden boats. It is located in the eastern part of Slateport City, and is where the [[S.S. Tidal]] was constructed. The Shipyard also takes old boats and sinks them, to make [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitats]] for the Pokémon who live around the city and its neighboring beaches.


===Name Rater===
===Name Rater===
{{main|Name Rater}}
{{main|Name Rater}}
The Name Rater of Hoenn lives in northern district of Slateport City. As always, he allows trainers to change the nickname of any Pokémon they captured or received in-game. Those traded from outside sources will not be able to be renamed. If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it. If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a trade, he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical [[Trainer ID number|trainer IDs and secret IDs]], he will allow name changes.
