Location Location of Icirrus City in Unova. |
Icirrus City (Japanese: セッカシティ Sekka City) is a city located in northwestern Unova.
Icirrus City is connected to Twist Mountain to the west, and Route 8 to the east. To the north of Icirrus City lies Dragonspiral Tower.
The majority of Icirrus City's buildings are located on high ground, due to the surrounding area being in a wet climate and as such having large puddles containing wild Pokémon. Windmills can also be seen towards the south end of the city.
Places of interest
Pokémon Fan Club
- Main article: Pokémon Fan Club
|
||||
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 levels it has gained since it was captured or hatched, he may reward the player with an Exp. Share, Cleanse Tag, or 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 Team Rocket Grunt who stole the Machine Part from Kanto's Power Plant in Gold, Silver, Crystal, 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 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 Route 10, which no longer exists in these games, for the duration of the player's stay in that house.
Aha, Wye, and Ditoh's house
Each day, Wye (Jpanaese: 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 Antidote to the player, but he will give a Parlyz Heal if the answer was incorrect.
