'''Floaroma Town''' (Japanese: '''ソノオタウン''' ''Sonoo Town'') is a town in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]], known for its honey and vividly scented flowers that grow everywhere. It is the first area where [[Berry|Berries]] from non-player characters are available in [[Generation IV]]. Notable landmarks include the Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop in the middle of town, the Floaroma Meadow found to the north, and an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive [[Contest Hall]]. A girl with a {{p|Clefairy}} hands out {{TM|88|Pluck}} here.

The Floaroma Meadow is an area accessed through the flowers in the northeast section of Floaroma Town proper, but still part of the town according to the [[Town Map]]. The first time the player visits Floaroma Town, the entrance to the meadow is blocked by two [[Team Galactic]] grunts. The {{player}} must defeat them to gain access to a [[honey]] tree, a man who sells honey, and the key to [[Valley Windworks]].

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the population of Floaroma Town is 29, a rather high number for such a small town. Apparently this is caused by the alluring aroma of the typical flowers and honey of the town. The majority of the townspeople are female.

[[File:Floaroma Contest Hall.png|200px|thumb|left|Floaroma Town Contest Hall]]
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first arrived in Floaroma Town in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!]]'', where they attended a [[Poffin]] cooking class given by [[Forsythia]]. {{an|Brock}} was a natural at making good Poffins, whereas {{an|Dawn}} took a little to get the perfect recipe for {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her Pokémon}}. Ash, however, was unsuccessful and failed to produce high-quality Poffins.
 
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Floaroma Town is home to a [[Contest Hall]]. In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s Dawn, {{si|Kenny}} and [[Jessie|Jessilina]] all entered the Floaroma {{pkmn|Contest}} in order to take the coveted Floaroma [[Ribbon]] home. By showing the best of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the three of them were able to pass the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]] and, in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', they competed against each other in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]]. In the end, Dawn emerged victorious, obtaining her first Contest Ribbon.
 
The town appeared again in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', where Forsythia was seen watering flowers together with her {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Lotad}}.
 
Legend says Floaroma was once barren and without any kind of vegetation. One day, a beautiful woman went atop the hill and expressed gratitude, which resulted in flowers growing exponentially.

* In ''[[DP025|Oh, Do You Know The Poffin Plan?]]'', a story was told about a woman who made all of the flowers, probably because they would otherwise need to show {{p|Shaymin}}, which was not revealed at that time. The NPCs in-game simply say it was a Pokémon.
