The small town is accessible in two ways: from the north via {{rt|1|Kanto}} that leads directly to [[Viridian City]], and from the south via {{rt|21|Kanto}}, a [[water route]], that leads to [[Cinnabar Island]].

In [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}}, this house is where the {{player}} lives before beginning their journey. The [[Mom|player's mother]] lives here, and after the player has left town for the first time, going home and talking to her will fully rest/restore all of the player's Pokémon, just like a [[Pokémon Center]]. In Generation I, the player's bedroom has a PC, a bed, and a TV with an [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] hooked up to it. It serves no other purpose, although the PC can be used to access the player's item storage. In Generation III, the player house features an enhanced version of the bedroom from Generation I. The only difference is the SNES being replaced with a {{nw|Nintendo Entertainment System|NES}}.

Before going down the stairs, there is a sign on the wall that reminds the player how to open the Bag. In Generation I, a movie is shown on the player's television involving four boys walking on railroad tracks, possibly a reference to the film {{wp|Stand by Me (film)|Stand by Me}}; however, during Generation III, this will only appear if the player is a male. If the player is a female, the television will display a girl in pigtails walking down a yellow brick road, possibly a reference to the film {{wp|The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz}}.

===Rival's house===
In Generations I and III, after the [[Pokédex]] has been given to the player by Professor Oak, the [[Daisy Oak|rival's sister]] will give the player a [[Town Map]]. In [[Generations]] {{gen|II}} and IV, the sister of the {{ga|Blue|rival}} will help the player comb his/her Pokémon, causing its [[friendship]] to be raised. In [[Generation IV]], she'll give the player Blue's [[Pokégear]] phone number so the player can call and arrange a rematch with him at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. Also returning from previous generations, Daisy will [[Pokémon groomer|groom]] one of the player's Pokémon for free once daily between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. As in Generation II, it will raise a Pokémon's friendship greatly; however, it will also raise the Pokémon's {{OBP|Beauty|condition}} stat. This is not displayed anywhere in-game, and the Pokémon must be seen from the point of view of Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to notice. Despite this, {{p|Feebas}} whose Beauty is maxed out this way can [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Milotic}}, unlike in FireRed and LeafGreen, where the Beauty stat did not exist in any shape or form. As a reference to Daisy's enjoyment of tea in Generation III, a large mug of tea sits on her table. In the first three generations, the rival's house has always been one story, but in Generation IV, the rival's house has a second story that mirrors the player's house, much like their Hoenn and Sinnoh counterparts.

She can only groom one Pokémon for every 512 steps the player takes. In [[Generation IV]], she'll give the player Blue's [[Pokégear]] phone number so the player can call and arrange a rematch with him at the [[Fighting Dojo]].

Pallet Town is very consistent in the way of layout. The square-shaped town with three buildings remains the same between Generation I and III, only enhancing aesthetic features. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards. Most of the town's residents remain the same and will tell Trainers the same messages. However, there is a woman in front of the [[signpost]] on the southwestern field that will move out of a Trainer's way when interacted with. In the Generation I to III transition, the garden in front of Professor Oak's Lab is removed, while other houses in Pallet have mailboxes instead of signs.

Professor Oak's Lab has gone through some slight remodeling. In Generation I, inside are three of Professor Oak's aides, two men and one woman, a couple of shelves full of books, a table with three [[Poké Ball]]s, a computer, two blank [[Pokédex]]es, and two tips for the player, while in Generation III, other than the significant graphical enhancements, the laboratory also has two plants in the entrance, a ''mysterious machine'', books on the floor, two regular machines in the corner, and a window. Changes in Red and Blue's house also sufficed. In Generation III, the player's bedroom features an enhanced version of the bedroom from Generation I with the SNES being replaced with a {{nw|Nintendo Entertainment System|NES}}.

Pallet Town is the home town of the main character [[Ash Ketchum]] and his rival [[Gary Oak]]. As in the {{pkmn|games}}, [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] is located in Pallet Town. Ash always returns here before visiting a new [[region]]. Pallet Town is depicted in the {{pkmn|anime}} as having dirt trails and wide open grass fields. Pallet Town debuted in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when {{Ash}} received his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Since then, it has been seen in many episodes, mostly in the start and ending of a region adventure, but also in [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and in the {{pkmn|movie}}s.

Professor Oak's Laboratory stands out in Pallet Town for its wind turbine, the three windows of the inner balcony, and for the four windows of the second floor. Every time Ash captures a Pokémon when he has six already [[party|with him]], the new Pokémon is automatically transported here. Ash also has a habit of leaving all of his Pokémon besides Pikachu here each time he leaves for a new region, starting with [[Hoenn]]. The lab is composed of two floors. Inside the entrance door is a hallway with several doors, and to the left is a chest of drawers and the stairway to the second floor. The Oak Corral is a natural environment for Pokémon development. It is divided into regions according to type; there are areas that are perfect for {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, desert areas for {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}} types, grassy regions, and several lakes. Sometimes the Pokémon don't get along; for this reason, some Pokémon, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], act as mediators between quarreling Pokémon.

The [[Xanadu Nursery]] is another location close to Pallet Town. The nursery is a large greenhouse that is home to various flowers and plants. Among them is a flower that contains {{m|Stun Spore}}. Two of the nursery's employees are [[Florinda Showers]] and [[Potter]]. Along with Florinda's {{p|Gloom}}, they help to make sure the operations at Xanadu run smoothly. While {{pkmn|training}} for the [[Pokémon League]] in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'', {{Delia|Ash's mom}} requested that her son help her run some errands and visit the nursery. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} took off, not wanting to help with Delia's plans. Eventually, they ended up at the very place she requested them to be at. Pallet Town may have an airport due to the fact that Ash, Delia and {{an|Professor Oak}} left for [[Unova]] on an airplane in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''.

Pallet Town made a couple of appearances in [[Pokémon Origins]], being the home town of {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. It made its first appearance in ''[[PO01|File 1 - Red]]'', where both Red and Blue were seen receiving a [[Pokédex]] each from Professor Oak, after which they got to choose their starter Pokémon. Red chose {{TP|Red|Charmander}}, while Blue chose {{p|Squirtle}} to counter Red's choice. Afterwards, both Red and Blue departed Pallet Town and started gathering information on their Pokédexes.

Pallet Town's next major appearance was in ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', where Red returned back to Professor Oak's Laboratory to tell him how he had completed his Pokédex, only to find out that Blue had been injured during a battle against an unknown Pokémon at the [[Cerulean Cave]], during which his own Pokédex had also gotten destroyed. Red soon understood that the mysterious Pokémon was in fact {{p|Mewtwo}}, a genetically enhanced version of a rare Pokémon called {{p|Mew}}. In order to add Mewtwo's data to the Pokédex, Red headed to Cerulean Cave, where he battled and, with extreme effort, successfully caught Mewtwo. During a small party held by Professor Oak to celebrate the completion of the Pokédex, Red realized that since Mewtwo was created from Mew, he still had to go find and catch Mew in order to make the Pokédex truly complete.
