'''Amity Square''' (Japanese: '''ふれあいひろば''' ''Contact Plaza'') is a park in [[Sinnoh]] where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can [[walking Pokémon|walk]] around with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and talk to them to check their moods.


Amity Square is located north of [[Hearthome City]]. The setup in Amity Square is identical to the {{p|Pikachu}} interaction system that was in {{game|Yellow}}. Only certain small Pokémon can be taken for walks in Amity Square, usually of a "cute" appearance. Pokémon will fetch [[Accessory|Accessories]] or [[Berry|Berries]] for their owners every 200 steps.

In {{game|Platinum}}, more Pokémon are allowed in than before, and the area has been expanded and redesigned. It now includes a rather large pool of water on the west side, with a model of the [[Sinnoh]] region within. Rather than being able to cross the entire square as in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, it has been separated into exclusive East and West sides, each only accessible by their respective gate. Of special note, Platinum allows all three of the [[Sinnoh]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s and their entire [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution families]].

The rock huts serve no purpose in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}; however, in {{v2|Platinum}}, they contain warp points that send the {{player}} to another hut in the park. Each hut contains three warp points, accessed by walking to the front, left, or right while inside the hut.

In {{game|Platinum}}, a man goes around Amity Square every day. To reach him, players must go through the east gate and use the teleporters. When found, he will give the player five [[Berry|Berries]] or one [[Accessory]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Amity Square seems to show how [[Game Freak]] developed the system of [[walking Pokémon]], building up more sprites and animations from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} to {{v2|Platinum}}. The system would later come to fruition in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, when all [[list of Pokémon by index number (Generation IV)|Pokémon and Pokémon forms up to Generation IV]] were implemented.
* Amity Square seems to be [[Game Freak]]'s testing ground for the [[walking Pokémon]] system, as the company increased the number of sprites and animations from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to {{game|Platinum}}, effectively granting access to more {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The system would later come to fruition in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in a more expanded state and with all [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation IV)|Pokémon and Pokémon forms up to Generation IV]] supported.
* One of the few Pokémon allowed out from the [[Poké Ball]] is Pikachu, which did the same throughout the game {{game|Yellow}}.
* The northern section of Amity Square draws inspiration from {{wp|Cappadocia}}, where houses have been carved from {{wp|Hoodoo (geology)|hoodoo}}s.
* No {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} are allowed in Amity Square.
* It is revealed by a citizen of [[Hearthome City]] that [[Mr. Backlot]], owner of the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}, owns Amity Square. The women at the [[gate]]s of his mansion say that the owner can be found in somewhere on the grounds, but this is false as he is always inside the mansion.
* [[Ash Ketchum]] and most of {{ashfr}} have a Pokémon that can be used in Amity Square: Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Torterra}}, and {{AP|Infernape}}, {{an|Misty}} has {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, {{an|Brock}} has {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}, {{an|May}} has {{TP|May|Skitty}} and had {{TP|May|Torchic|Blaziken}} before it evolved, and {{an|Dawn}} has {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
* If the "walk through walls" cheat code is used, the game will pre-select the first Pokémon in the [[party]], which will be taken into the garden with the {{player}}; however, it will not be able to be seen or be able to {{a|Pickup|pick up}} [[item]]s. The player only notices the Pokémon's presence when speaking to the receptionists of either entrance.
** The only ones prior to [[Generation V]] who do not have an Amity Square Pokémon are {{Tracey}} and [[Max]], and the latter because he doesn't have any Pokémon.
** [[Paul]], Ash's rival, also has a Pokémon that can be used at Amity Square: {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
*** In addition, he also, at one point before releasing it, owned {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}}.
* There is also a small location in [[Fall City]], [[Fiore]] called Amity Square.
* It is revealed by a citizen of [[Hearthome City]] that [[Mr. Backlot]], owner of the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}, owns Amity Square.
** The women at the gates say that [[Mr. Backlot|the owner]] can be found in somewhere on the grounds, but this is false as he is always at his {{si|Pokémon Mansion|mansion}}.
* If the [[Cheating|walk through walls]] cheat is used, the first Pokémon in the party will be taken into the garden with the {{player}}; it will not, however, be able to be seen or be able to pick up items. The Pokémon can only be noticed when speaking to one of the women near the gates.
*The north part of the park draws inspiration from {{wp|Cappadocia}} where houses have been carved from the {{wp|fairy chimney|fairy chimneys}}.
