New Bark Town: Difference between revisions

==Places of interest==

===Player's house===

[[Image:Player Bedroom HGSS.png|thumb|200px|left|The player begins the game in the bedroom]]

The player's bedroom is a bit fancier than {{ga|Red}}'s bedroom in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}. In Generation II, unlike Red's room, it can also be customized to include several [[Pokémon doll]]s, as well as [[bed]]s, [[game system]]s, and [[carpet]]s. The [[Town Map]] hanging on the wall can also be replaced with one of several [[poster]]s of different Pokémon. However, in Generation IV, this feature is not included.

==In the anime==

* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, at some point during the player's journey, the starter Pokémon in Elm's lab that wasn't chosen by the player or stolen by the rival disappears without explanation, although it is hinted to have been given to someone else.

* In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|demo]] of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pocket Monsters 2}} showed off at {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} in 1997, the initial town was not New Bark Town but rather a different town named ''Silent Hills'' (サイレントヒルズ), which may have actually been a prototype design of New Bark Town. The town had a drastically different design, but may have been overhauled during the transition from the [[Game Boy]] to the [[Game Boy Color]]. Due to the first installment of the {{wp|Silent Hill}} horror game series being released about eight months prior to the actual Japanese release of Gold and Silver, in early 1999, it may have possibly led to the rename as ''Wakaba Town'' (ワカバタウン).
