Location Location of Canalave City in Sinnoh.

Canalave City (Japanese: ミオシティ Mio City) is a city in the region of Sinnoh. Canalave City is a port city that is bisected by a canal which is crossed by a small drawbridge. It has an air of exotic and foreign culture. Large ships are moored at the piers. In the old days, the port used to be a hub of cargo transportation. The Move Deleter is in a house on the east side of town. The Canalave Library has many books on Sinnoh myths. The ferry in the canal will take people out to Iron Island and Fullmoon Island and sometimes Newmoon Island.

Geography

Canalave Library

Main article: Canalave Library

The Canalave Library is found in the north-western side of Canalave City. It is the only library in Sinnoh and it has shelves of books, containing the myths of Sinnoh. It is the place the player, the rival, Lucas/Dawn, and Professor Rowan meet up before the player goes to Lake Valor.

The upper floors of the library have the same layout as the lower floors, except that most of the books on the bookshelves can be read. These books are very philosophical and go in-depth into the history and existence of the Pokémon world as known. These books are considered Sinnoh myths, that many people, such as Cynthia, believe and study by. These books include, the Sinnoh Myth, which refers to Mesprit, the Sinnoh Region's Mythology, which explains why wild Pokémon appear in grass, the Sinnoh's Myth, which explains the existence of the lake guardians, the Veilstone's Myth, which tells a story about a young swordsman encountering Giratina, The Original Story, which explains the origin of the Pokémon world, A Horrific Myth, which tells a horrible tale about the lake guardians, and several other Sinnoh Folk Tales.

Canalave Library is a small library. There are shelves and shelves of different books surrounding several reading tables and chairs. There is a sign that informs people that eating and drinking are prohibited. Not much happens on the lower floors, however people can be seen here reading about Pokémon and other books.

Move Deleter

Main article: Move Deleter

The Move Deleter is located on the east side of the city, near the seaside. He is the only Move Deleter in the Sinnoh region. Although not a hugely important place to visit, the Move Deleter is helpful for deleting moves that can't be deleted otherwise. He is a very forgetful man, and lives alone. For no charge, the Move Deleter will make a Pokémon forget a move it knows. This is the only way for a Pokémon to forget HM moves such as Cut or Fly. In order to delete an HM move, one must first have another Pokémon with that same move in order for it to be deleted. This is done so that a player will not get stuck in an area where an HM move is required to continue. In addition, a Pokémon's move will not be forgotten if it is the only move it knows.

Sailor Eldritch's house

A local Sailor called Eldritch lives in a small house near the pier with his wife and young son. He works at the docks of Canalave City, which is just outside his house, and operates the boat that can take people to a variety of destinations, among them Iron Island and Fullmoon Island. After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player finds that Eldritch's son has been stricken by nightmares and cannot awaken, thrashing in his sleep, saying "Dar... Dark... Is watching me...". To cure the boy, the player must go to Fullmoon Island with Eldritch's help and retrieve a Lunar Wing, which will cure his son.

Harbor Inn

The mysterious Harbor Inn is located on the north-eastern side of the Canalave City, and was a thriving inn until it mysteriously closed down for many years. Now the doors remain locked and no one can seem to open them. Before obtaining the Member Card trying to enter the Harbor Inn only yields the phrase The door is tightly shut. It appears impossible to open. The only way to unlock the inn is by obtaining a Member Card via a Nintendo Event or cheating. When inside, there is a man who puts people into a deep sleep. Once they awake, they will appear at Newmoon Island, where Darkrai can be battled.

Canalave Gym

Main article: Canalave Gym

The Canalave Gym is the official Gym of Canalave City. It is based on Steel-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Byron. Trainers who defeat him receive the Mine Badge. The Canalave City Gym is a four-story tall building made of steel platforms, lifts, and moving metal platforms. Trainers must ride the elevators and moving platforms in a certain order to reach the fourth floor, on which Byron waits. For defeating Byron, Trainers receive the Mine Badge, TM91 (Flash Cannon), and the ability to use Strength outside of battle.

Trivia

• Canalave's Japanese town motto is みなもに はえる まち.
• The son of the sailor who owns the boat that normally goes to Iron Island says "Dar... Dark... Is watching me..." during his unending nightmare that begins the Cresselia event. He most likely means Darkrai.
• Canalave's background music is a rendition of the staff roll theme from Pokémon Gold and Silver.
• After the blast caused by Team Galactic's bomb, most of the NPCs in the city say something different than what they said previously.
• Canalave City is the first city to have a library in all of the games.
  • The second is Nacrene City, which is located in the Gym there.
• In Pokémon Platinum Version if the player tries to enter Canalave City before going to Celestic Town, he or she will be blocked by two men and a group of Pikachu and Clefairy.
• Before entering Canalave City from Route 218 there is a guard in the entrance that when talked to says "Boy... Am I thirsty...". This is reminiscent of the thirsty guards in all Generation I games.
