(Japanese: '''カラクサタウン''' ''Karakusa Town'') is situated in the southeastern part of the [[Unova]] [[region]]. It is where the protagonists of the [[Generation V]] games {{game|Black and White|s}} meet [[Geechisu]] of [[Team Plasma]].
'''Accumula Town''' (Japanese: '''カラクサタウン''' ''Karakusa Town'') is a small town located in southeastern [[Unova]].
 
In {{2v2|Black|White}}, it is where the {{player}} first encounters [[Team Plasma]], [[Ghetsis]], and [[N]]. When the player first enters the town, [[Professor Juniper]] will be standing in front of the Pokémon Center and the player must talk to her and perform the Pokémon Center tutorial. Before doing this, Team Plasma members will prevent the player from continuing to {{rt|2|Unova}}. After doing this, Ghetsis and Team Plasma will appear in the town square and approaching them will automatically begin their speech.
 
==Slogan==
'''''The Fast-Growing Town!''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|生い茂る ツルは 繁栄の証}}''' ''Thick ivy is proof of prosperity.'')

==Places of interest==
===Town square===
In the center of the town is an open, park-like area. It is here that [[Team Plasma]] makes their first speech in {{v2|Black and White|s}}, and [[Ghetsis]] encourages the citizens of Accumula to release their Pokémon. After Ghetsis leaves, [[N]] appears out of the crowd and tries to listen and talk to the {{player}}'s Pokémon. After he communicates with the player's Pokémon, he challenges the player to a battle.
===Pokémon rock-paper-scissors===
In a house in the north-west of town, there is a little girl who will challenge the player to a game of Pokémon rock-paper-scissors. Instead of using rock, paper, and scissors, this game uses {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Water}}.
==Demographics==
==Demographics==
Karakusa Town has a total population of 30.
===Pokémon Black and White===
Accumula Town has a total population of 30.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the piano track cannot be added until the player has shown the pianist both a {{p|Kricketot}} and a {{p|Whismur}}.

===Main series===
Karakusa Town appeared in [[BW004]]. It is quite a large town and a [[Battle Club]] is located there.
Accumula Town appeared in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'', where it was visited by {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}}. It was here where Ash visited a [[Battle Club]] for the first time and {{pkmn2|caught}} his {{AP|Tepig}}, who had been abandoned by [[Shamus|his former Trainer]].

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Accumula Town appeared in a flashback in ''[[PE04|The Plan]]'', where [[Ghetsis]] held a speech about [[Team Plasma]]'s plans of Pokémon liberation there. The speech was watched by {{ga|Hilda}}, [[Cheren]], and [[N]].

Accumula Town appeared in [[BWGP02]], where [[Takurō]] and [[Mashiro]] met [[Professor Juniper]] there. When Takurō's [[bag]] was stolen by a {{p|Purrloin}}, he chased it and ended up saving it from falling off a cliff. Afterwards, Takurō befriended Purrloin and {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
Accumula Town first appeared in ''[[PS466|An Odd Speech]]''. After arriving there, {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} camped outside for the night while White's {{p|Tepig}}, [[Gigi]], was given a hotel room due to her status as an actress in the [[BW Agency]]. The two were suddenly attacked by a {{p|Timburr}}, but the attack turned out to have been just [[Team Plasma]] setting up a stand, and they apologized for the damages and disturbance they had unintentionally caused for them. The next day, [[Ghetsis]] held a speech on the finished stand, imploring the people of Accumula Town to {{pkmn2|released|release}} their Pokémon. When some people indeed started doing this, several others followed suit, much to Black's shock.
 
In ''[[PS467|Letting Go]]'', Black deduced that Team Plasma was holding similar speeches around [[Unova]], basing his deduction on the fact that his {{p|Galvantula}}, [[Tula]], had [[PS465|set up its trap]] close to a human residence, which seemed unusual for a [[wild Pokémon]], since they avoid making too much human contact. As such, it must've belonged to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who released it recently after hearing a similar speech. Soon afterwards, Black was approached by {{adv|N}}, who forced him to {{pkmn|battle}} him. During the battle, N expressed his disgust at the thoughts of Pokémon being confined to [[Poké Ball]]s and the [[Pokédex]] causing more Pokémon to be {{pkmn2|caught}} to complete its pages.
 
In ''[[PS468|Listening to Pokémon]]'', Black countered N's thoughts with a passionate speech about how his Pokémon weren't suffering, as they shared his desire to defeat the {{un|Pokémon League}}, with the Pokédex allowing him to understand his Pokémon better. After Black's Tepig, [[Tep]], had proven its determination by charging through N's {{p|Tympole}}'s attack, N called off the battle and left. White was worried if N was a member of Team Plasma, but while Black wasn't certain whether he was or not, he had seen N's dream in his [[Musha|Munna]]'s [[Dream Mist]] during the battle. Based on it, he decided that while N might've been wrong about them, he wasn't a bad guy.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*A [[List of typos|typographical error]] occurs in this town, when showing a tiny Pokémon to the {{tc|Youngster}} who makes daily requests to see one: "''Wow! Amazing! '''{{tt|a|&quot;an&quot; if the Pokémon's name begins with a vowel sound}}''' <Pokémon species name> is so tiny!''"
*The first battle with Lass Diana is the only Trainer battle in Black 2 and White 2 outside of a [[battle facility]] that has its levels unaffected by what {{DL|Key System|Difficulty|difficulty level}} is used; rather, the levels are based solely on what the player trades. If an Excadrill that is lower than 65 is traded to Diana, the Excadrill in battle will be raised to level 65; if the Excadrill traded is at least 65, the Excadrill in battle will instead be raised by 5 levels, to a maximum of 100.
**Additionally, if the Excadrill and Hippowdon traded to her are [[nickname]]d or {{Shiny}}, they will retain these factors when battling Diana.
