The [[Unova]] region's Pokémon Fan Club is located in Icirrus. The Pokémon Fan Club is an organization spread throughout the Pokémon world, with at least one Club House in nearly every region. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and Pokémon Contests than Pokémon battles.  

If the player shows the chairman of the Fan Club a Pokémon, depending on how many [[level]]s it has gained since it was captured or hatched, he may reward the player with an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Cleanse Tag}}, or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}. A member of the club will also rate the [[friendship]] of a Pokémon in the player's party.

===Ex-Team Rocket Grunt's house===

The lone {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] from Kanto's [[Power Plant]] in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], {{v2|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is revealed to live here, as he can be found in a house with his wife and son that can only be accessed during the {{DL|Seasons|winter}}. He says that while he had planned to revive [[Team Rocket]], soon after returning home he fell in love and then married. His wife gives away a [[RageCandyBar]], and says that RageCandyBars bring the family together, like his teammates from his old job.

In [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the house is inhabited by a former Team Magma Grunt and a former Team Aqua Grunt. It also consists of the sound designer, who if the player answers yes to his question, will change the music to that of the former {{rt|10|unova}}, which no longer exists in these games, for the duration of the player's stay in that house.

Each day, Wye (Japanese: '''ナンデヤ''' ''Nandeya'') will invite the player to take a quiz. Every time Aha (Japanese: '''ワカルデ''' ''Wakarude'') will ask the player a question, and Ditoh (Japanese: '''セヤナ''' ''Seyana'') always asks for a hint, which Wye gives. Upon answering the question correctly, Aha will give an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}} to the player, but he will give a {{Dl|Status ailment healing item|Parlyz Heal}} if the answer was incorrect.

[[File:Icirrus City anime.png|thumb|200px|right|Icirrus City in the anime]]

Icirrus City first appeared at the end of ''[[BW078|Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!]]''. It then appeared briefly in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', before {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were going to the [[Gym]] for Ash's next Gym battle. Just like its game counterpart, it was shown to have some windmills.

* Icirrus's Japanese motto is {{tt|空に きらめく 雪の花 |Flowers of snow glittering in the sky}}.

* Icirrus City is very similar to [[Mahogany Town]] in some aspects. They both house their region's seventh [[Gym]], their Gym specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon, a [[RageCandyBar]] can be obtained, and [[Team Rocket]] is encountered.

* Icirrus City contains one of the three Gyms decertified between the events of {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}.  The others are in [[Striaton City]] and [[Nacrene City]].

** Of the three gyms, the Icirrus Gym was the only one in the main loop around the Entralink.
