Accumula Town: Difference between revisions

'''Accumula Town''' (Japanese: '''カラクサタウン''' ''Karakusa Town'') is a small town situated in the southeastern part of the [[Unova]] [[region]]. It is the first place where the {{player}} meets [[Ghetsis]], [[Team Plasma]], and [[N]].

In the center of the town is an open, park-like area. It is here that [[Team Plasma]] make their first speech, 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. It is later revealed that the Pokémon told N that it was happy to be with the {{player}}. After he communicates with the player's Pokémon, he challenges the player to a battle.

Piano and percussion tracks can be added to Accumula Town's background theme by speaking to a pianist and drummer residing in a house in the northeast section of town. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the piano track cannot be added until the player has shown the pianist a {{p|Kricketot}} and a {{p|Whismur}}.

Accumula Town appeared in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]''. It is where {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} his {{AP|Tepig}}. It is depicted as a large town with a [[Battle Club]]. There, Ash battled a {{p|Dewott}} with {{AP|Pikachu}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

{{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} camp out in Accumula Town when they are attacked by a wild {{p|Timburr}} that was revealed to be helping [[Team Plasma]] build a stand. The stand was used by [[Ghetsis]] who gave a speech trying to convince people to release their Pokémon so that they can be free.

When Black attempted to stop them from making any more speeches, he was attacked by [[N]] and was forced into battling him.

* A 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 battle in Black 2 and White 2 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 the Lass, the Excadrill in battle will be raised to level 65; if the Excadrill traded is higher than 65 but below 96, the Excadrill in battle will instead be raised by 5 levels; and if the Excadrill traded is at least level 95, the Excadrill in battle will be at level 100.
