'''Hearthome City''' (Japanese: '''ヨスガシティ''' ''Yosuga City'') is a city in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Hearthome City is the fifth-largest city in the [[Pokémon world]]. Hearthome City is home to the [[Contest Hall|Super Contest Hall]], where one can take part in the {{pkmn|Super Contest}}, a [[Gym]], the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], and the [[Poffin House]], among other things. A hiker will give the {{player}} a {{p|Happiny}} {{pkmn|Egg}} here in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}. Hearthome City started as a place where people and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} gathered and grew into a center of commerce, and is consistently voted as the most desirable place to live in all of Sinnoh. It is also a gateway to nearby [[Solaceon Town]] and [[Pastoria City]].

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, access to {{rt|209|Sinnoh}} is blocked until the player visits the Super Contest Hall.

The Sinnoh's Pokémon Fan Club is located in the eastern area of Hearthome City. 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 Contest]]s than [[Pokémon battle]]s. The Sinnoh Pokémon Fan Club Chairman says that his Fan Club is number one nationwide because he brags more than anyone. However, he doesn't do it anymore because of people's complaints. This may also explain why only two other members are found in his club. Inside the Pokémon Fan Club, the player will receive the [[Poffin Case]], needed to bake [[Poffin]]s. Another member of the club will rate the [[friendship]] of first Pokémon in the player's party.

[[Bebe]], the system administrator for Sinnoh's [[Pokémon Storage System]] who will also give the player an {{p|Eevee}} living in the midst of Hearthome City. Her house, which is next to the [[Pokémon Center]] in Hearthome, is not quite as cluttered as Lanette's. Bebe is good friends with [[Hayley]], who owns a [[My Pokémon Ranch|ranch in which Pokémon can be stored]], and they still keep in contact with each other. After the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]] in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, she will give them a [[level]] 5 {{p|Eevee}}. This Eevee came from a [[Bill|good friend in Johto]] before being passed onto the player. In {{game|Platinum}}, the Eevee is available right away at level 20, without the need of the National Pokédex.

[[Mr. Goods]] lives on the street of Hearthome, although he claims he can't remember who he is or his real name. He is a bemused man dedicated to rarities who gives out [[goods]] to decorate the [[Secret Base]] in the [[Sinnoh Underground]] with upon completion of certain tasks, such as using the [[Global Terminal|GTS]] or defeating all eight [[Gym]]s. Mr. Goods will also reward a Trainer for other miscellaneous achievements.

The Foreign Building (Japanese: いぶんかのたてもの ''Foreign Culture Building'') is a building located in the western side of Hearthome City. It has six benches and stained glass windows. All the people there talk about the grace of life in the [[Pokémon world]], supernatural powers, and the balance of spirit and nature. It seems to be loosely based on a church or cathedral, and is the first building in all the Pokémon games to be so. Respectfully, no music can be heard in the building. In the morning, one can see a piece of the wall jutting out behind the stone tablets on either side of the inside.

The Hearthome Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Hearthome City. It is based on {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Fantina]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Relic}}. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Hearthome Gym is the fifth Gym and Fantina cannot be challenged until after the player has received {{HM|03|Surf}} from [[Cynthia]]'s grandmother in [[Celestic Town]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, however, the Hearthome Gym is the third Gym and can be challenged immediately.

In Diamond and Pearl, the Gym consists of five stories, with a mathematical puzzle on each floor and three doors corresponding to a potential answer, with the correct door leading to the next floor and the wrong doors leading only to a battle with a Trainer. In Platinum, the inside of the Gym is shrouded in darkness and the player must navigate using a flashlight.

For defeating Fantina, Trainers receive the Relic Badge and {{TM|65|Shadow Claw}}. They also gain the ability to use {{m|Surf}} outside of battle in Diamond and Pearl, or {{m|Defog}} in Platinum.

On certain days, if the VS Seeker is acquired, the player can challenge a Trainer who appears in the Pokémon Center. Depending on the game progress, these Trainers will have teams with higher leveled Pokémon upon rematch.

===={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}====

Hearthome City first appeared in ''[[PS350|Booying with Buneary]]'', where {{adv|Platinum}}, {{adv|Diamond}}, and {{adv|Pearl}} arrived there. They followed [[Keira]]'s {{p|Buneary}} to the [[Contest Hall|Super Contest Hall]], where Platinum was accidentally whisked to the Contest stage. When she failed to perform, the audience saw her expensive jewelry and assumed she had tried to win just by being rich. Wanting to defend the name of [[House of Berlitz|her family]], Platinum registered for the next day's [[Rank (Contest)|Normal Rank]] {{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness {{pkmn|Contest}}.

Hearthome City appeared in ''[[DPA06|Beauty Contest: The Pokémon Super Contest!!]]''. After arriving in the city, [[Hareta]] learned about [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s and, along with [[Mitsumi]] and {{OBP|Jun|DPA}}, decided to participate in one. Hareta and Jun participated in a [[Rank (Contest)|Normal Rank]] Super Contest, but only succeeded in getting themselves disqualified for their poor performances. Mitsumi participated in a Master Rank Super Contest, but went overboard as her {{TP|Mitsumi|Infernape}} accidentally burned down the Contest Hall's dome with {{m|Fire Spin}}. Afterwards, [[Cyrus|a man]] introducing himself as Mitsumi's friend asked Hareta to tell her that her performance was great.

* In Pokémon Platinum, Hearthome City seems to push the limits of what the DS can handle, and tends to lag when the player runs outside of a building.
