'''Anville Town''' (Japanese: '''カナワタウン''' ''Kanawa Town'') is situated in the northwestern part of the Unova region. It is accessed by riding the [[Battle Subway]]'s Anville line (shown brown on the subway map) from Gear Station in [[Nimbasa City]]; no battles are required to be able to go to this town. On the weekends, some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s come to this town to exchange items.

| Today's train car is a Hyperspeed Train! It runs faster than a rocket! It runs quieter than an air conditioner! I can see! I can see it! That lovely smooth curve! Ah, I wish I could reach out and touch it! I can see it so clearly! But I cannot touch the Hyperspeed Train! It really is hyper technology! As you can see, we engineers are always seriously dreaming that someday the dream will become a reality!

|This is a Single Train! It's the oldest train in the Battle Subway. It's for a loop line to go around the Unova region! Do you know Tubeline Bridge? The train that runs on it is this Single Train.

|This Super Single Train is a new mass-produced car! It's an environmentally friendly train, because they revised all the parts to drastically reduce power consumption! Newer trains have to be built in a way that's both functional and environmentally friendly. Compared to the past, they've improved significantly.

|This car is a Double Train! This is a mass-produced car from a decade ago! Compared to a Single Train, the number of parts was reduced so it could be built for a lower cost. The number of parts influences the budget and construction time. The streamlined and beautiful design of the Double Train is still valued today.

|This Super Double Train is a new mass-produced car! Such a streamlined and refined design! Beauty and utility working together! That kind of beautility is unique to mass-produced train cars! It uses the same train car as a Super Single Train. The only difference is the appearance. It is a superb train car that will go down in the history of the Battle Subway!

|This car is a Multi Train! Few cars of this model were produced. This is a test car to develop future mass-produced cars that will replace the old Double Trains. The technology born during the creation of this train car made the Super Single Train and Super Double Train possible!

|This train car is a Super Multi Train! This is the latest train car! Improved acceleration and deceleration! Automated train-car controls! It's full of cutting-edge technologies. Also, a regeneration brake system, a car-body tilting system, a whatchamacallit system, a thingamabob system... I don't remember all the details, but it's just a big festival of all the latest technology!

|This train car is a Wi-Fi Train! It is the fastest long-distance high-speed train in the Battle Subway! This is called a pendulum car. Its body tilts while going around curves, so it can run without slowing down! Faster! Farther! Our engineers' spirits are infused in it!

|As you know, this is a local train to Anville Town! Isn't it just so cute? This one is a little slow and heavy. When it runs, the whole train sways. The train car is the same model as a Single Train. Because it is an old train car, I hear the maintenance is hard, but it's the one I always ride, because I loved it as a kid!

|This train car is the kind that ran a long time ago. Compared to contemporary train cars, it has more parts, so I heard it was difficult to build. The old train cars built with lots of small parts have their own unique beauty and attract a lot of fans. Those cars no longer run in the Battle Subway, but I hear they're still used in a faraway region. Ah... I'd love to be on that train!

==Trivia==

* Anville Town is the first city or town in the Pokémon world to not be physically connected to another location by a [[route]] or [[cave]], yet is not an island.

** It is also impossible to use {{m|Fly}} to access this town, being the first to do so. It can be only accessed by the [[Battle Subway]] Brown Line.

*** Both of these are also the only two settlements in a main series game, other than a {{player}}'s [[hometown]], not to feature a [[Pokémon Center]].
