In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} an old man can be found living on the east side of Pacifidlog Town. He is seen looking out for [[Mirage Island]] and will shout out in excitement on days that it appears. Every day, the game generates a random number between 0 and 65535. If this number matches the [[personality value]] of any of the Pokémon in the {{player}}'s [[party]], Mirage Island will be accessible that day.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pacifidlog Town was shown to be a small archipelago instead of a town built on wooden rafts. Like many other towns in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], it is home to a [[Contest Hall]].
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pacifidlog Town was shown to be located on a regular island, instead of a town built on wooden rafts. Like many other towns in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], it is home to a [[Contest Hall]].


{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in Pacifidlog Town in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'', where they met up with [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s [[Erica]] and {{OBP|Joshua|Coordinator}}. Erica, who was expecting to win the Pacifidlog {{pkmn|Contest}} together with her boyfriend Joshua, engaged in a [[rival]]ry with May after she saw her chatting with him. Later on, the three young Coordinators, as well as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] [[Jessie]], entered the Pacifidlog Convention in hopes of getting the coveted Pacifidlog [[Ribbon]].

[[File:Pacifidlog Contest Hall.png|thumb|left|230px|Pacifidlog Town Contest Hall]]
In the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], Jessie had {{MTR}} using {{m|Fury Swipes}} to make a sculpture of {{an|Giovanni}} and himself out of a giant block of ice, impressing the crowd. Joshua showcased his {{p|Houndoom}}'s talents with a [[Contest combination|combination]] of {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Swift}}, whereas Erica displayed her {{p|Jynx}}'s psychic powers by combining {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Psychic}}. May also made use of Blizzard, having {{TP|May|Skitty}} using the [[move]] to freeze the {{m|Razor Leaf}} she got from {{m|Assist}} before {{m|DoubleSlap}}ping the leaves to shower the stage in sparkling crystal. With that, they all were able to advance to the [[Contest Battle]]s, which took place in [[AG116|the following episode]].


The first match of the second round put Jessie against Erica. The battle ended rather quickly as Jessie was disqualified for cheating, giving Erica a free pass to the Contest finals. The battle between May and Joshua, on the other hand, was a hard fought one. It ended with an explosion caused by the clash of May's Skitty's Blizzard and Joshua's Houndoom's {{m|Flamethrower}}. Having won this battle, May advanced to the final round, where she faced Erica. She had a little trouble dealing with Jynx's {{m|Psychic}} attack, but got the win after Skitty's Assist became {{m|Fire Spin}} and knocked Jynx out. This victory gave May her fifth Contest Ribbon, allowing her to enter the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]].

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
{{adv|Wally}} was revealed to have traveled to Pacifidlog Town to obtain a more effective cure for his health problems. He was informed of the place by the old resident, named '''Mr. Gemu''' (ゲムじーさん) in Japanese, who looks out for {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}} every day. After {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} had awakened, both Wally and the old man evacuated the unstable floating settlement using the two lifeboats that were stationed.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Pacifidlog's Japanese motto is {{tt|あさひが みずべを てらす まち|Asahi ga mizube o terasu machi}} ''"The town where the morning sun shines upon the waterfront"''.
* There is a possibility that Pacifidlog's concept was inspired by the [[Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Corsola}} in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}, which states that, in a south sea nation, the people live in communities that are built on groups of these Pokémon.
* In the Generation III games, [[Bicycle]]s could not be ridden in Pacifidlog Town.
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when played in English, the old man in the southwestern house says "One does not simply walk into a [[Mirage spot]]." This is a reference to the line "One does not simply walk into Mordor," from the film ''{{wp|The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring}}''.
** It was also the only town in the Pokémon world where it was impossible to [[Running Shoes|run]].

* Despite the fact that Pacifidlog Town is said to have been built on a colony of {{p|Corsola}}, Corsola cannot be found or caught in this area by any means.
** However, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and their remakes {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a Trainer will trade a Corsola for a {{p|Bellossom}}.
