Icirrus City: Difference between revisions

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.

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.

The lone {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the {{key|II|Machine Part|Machine}} {{key|IV|Machine Part|Part}} from the [[Kanto Power Plant]] in {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold, Silver}}, {{v2|Crystal}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and 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 [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBar]], and says that RageCandyBars bring the family together, like his teammates from his old job.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the house is inhabited by a couple consisting of a former {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}} and a former {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}. A sound designer, presumably [[Shota Kageyama]], is also found in the house, and can be engaged to change the background music to 10番道路 ''[[Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection|Route 10]]'' (which is otherwise inaccessible in these games due to the absence of {{rt|10|unova}}) for the duration of the player's stay in the 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 condition healing item|Antidote}} to the player, but he will give a {{DL|Status condition healing item|Paralyze Heal|Parlyz Heal}} if the answer was incorrect. The answers are given via the [[easy chat system]].

During the post-game, each member of the [[Shadow Triad]] can be battled in Icirrus City once per [[seasons|season]]. They are all fought individually, in a Single Battle, [[Triple Battle]], and [[Rotation Battle]], respectively. If the {{player}} has fewer than three Pokémon remaining, or declines battle, the remaining opponents will vanish until the season changes.

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

==In the manga==

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===

{{adv|Black}} arrived at Icirrus City at the conclusion of his training under [[Brycen]], leaving only the Gym challenge where Brycen awaited. After winning the Gym battle, Black was then told of the advancement of the date of the [[Pokémon League (Unova)|Pokémon League]] tournament. Disgusted at the impossible task to qualify for the tournament, Black fled the Gym and the city.

* A {{tc|Parasol Lady}} across the bridge from the Pokémon Center warns the player not to step on the wetlands because wild Pokémon may pop out. This happens even in {{DL|Seasons|Winter}}, when all the wetlands are frozen. Seasonal changes cause similar confusion on {{rt|8|Unova}}.

* Icirrus City contains one of the three Gyms decommissioned between the events of {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.  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.
