Mauville City: Difference between revisions

'''Mauville City''' (Japanese: '''{{j|キンセツシティ}}''' ''Kinsetsu City'') is located in central [[Hoenn]] and serves as the hub for travelers throughout the Hoenn region. The city is also notable for its [[old guys]].

The roads of the town stretch north to {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, west to {{rt|117|Hoenn}} and [[Verdanturf Town]], east to a beach on {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, and south to {{rt|110|Hoenn}}.

[[Wattson]] is the [[Gym Leader]] and founder of Mauville. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, he originally had plans to do a complete overhaul of the town, but abandoned them. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Wattson instead managed to redevelop it, modeling the design on that of [[Lumiose City]] of [[Kalos]]. Due to this, its layout has changed dramatically, becoming a mostly-indoor city with various shops and floors. The redevelopment of Mauville is the only successful project of [[Greater Mauville Holdings]].

==Slogan==

'''''The bright and shiny city of fun!''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|あかるく　かがやく　たのしい　まち}}''' ''The bright and shiny city of fun.'')

==Places of interest==

A bike shop is located in Mauville City which is called [[Rydel's Cycles]]. It is very conveniently located for the owner and customers alike, as the [[Seaside Cycling Road]] runs on {{rt|110|Hoenn}}, just to the south. [[Rydel]] sells [[Acro Bike]]s and [[Mach Bike]]s. However, he will give the {{player}} a bike for free after he finds out that the player has come all the way from [[Littleroot Town]] with just [[Running Shoes]]. The player may exchange their bike with Rydel for the other bike.

Only in [[Generation III]], the [[Mauville Game Corner]] is a tourist attraction where people can gamble coins on slots or roulette. This game corner houses two roulette wheels and sixteen slot machines. A [[Coin Case]] is needed to play at the game corner, which can also be found in one of the houses at Mauville City, in exchange for Harbor Mail.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the Game Corner is closed, with the owner stating that he had to close it for "reasons you don't need to know".

===Mauville Gym===

{{main|Mauville Gym}}

The Mauville Gym specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. Wattson, the Gym leader hands out the Dynamo Badge to players who defeat him. The Gym contains electric dividers that turn on or off when different switches are stepped on.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], there is a [[Vending Machine]] on the first floor to the east of the {{rt|110|Hoenn}} entrance.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Mauville Food Court allows the player places an order for food at one of the three counters. After paying, the player is given an amount of turns to wait for their meal. Taking a seat, the player is then challenged to battle by a gauntlet of Trainers trying to take their seat away.

 

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the bartender at this café will give the player {{TM|48|Round}}.

===Narcissus Mirror Shop===

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the owner of this shop will give the player a [[Reveal Glass]] if they have {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, or {{p|Landorus}} in their party.

 

Outside, a sign reads:

:''"We See Eye to Eye"''

 

In {{game|Emerald}}, near Mauville Gym is a man who will teach a compatible Pokémon {{m|Rollout}} one time only.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, two [[Move Tutor]]s set up shop in southeastern Mauville. The northern move tutor will teach {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, or {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to any fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]] that also has maximum [[Friendship]]. The southern move tutor will teach {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, or {{m|Water Pledge}} to any starter Pokémon.<!-- However, he will refuse to teach if the Pokémon's [[happiness]] does not reach the highest level.-->

The Battle Institute on the east side of the first floor works in the same way as the one in Lumiose City in [[Kalos]]. After entering the [[Hall of Fame]], the player can opt for a Battle Test (five consecutive Single or [[Double Battle]]s) or a Download Test (which can be downloaded either wirelessly or via Wi-Fi at certain time, similar to event Pokémon). The player can win [[Battle Point]]s here.

Next to the Battle Institute is the Inverse Battle Stop. Here, the player can battle [[Inver]], the same {{tc|Psychic}} who challenges players to Inverse Battles in Kalos. Inver uses a different pool of Pokémon compared to the ones he used in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, and they start at [[level]] 20 as opposed to level 55. Inver has many preset Pokémon, but only chooses a random three during the battle. In addition, his Pokémon's [[Ability|Abilities]] may vary, even potentially having their Hidden Abilities. After he is defeated, Inver will give the player an item depending on how well they did.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a store north of the exit to {{rt|117|Hoenn}} will sell expensive [[Ribbon]]s previously sold by the [[Ribbon Syndicate]] of [[Sinnoh]].

In the northwest area of the first floor, a {{tc|Gentleman}} will allow the player to exchange their [[Poké Mile]]s for items. His function and wares are identical to that of the Poké Mile store in {{pkmn|X and Y}}.

North of the Poké Miles shop is a [[Pokémon groomer]] who will offer to massage the player's lead Pokémon for free once per day.

===TV Mauville===

{{main|TV Mauville}}

The TV station that runs the news on the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}}. The player can sit at the news desk, but this doesn't put them on the BuzzNav news.
