Littleroot Town: Difference between revisions

'''Littleroot Town''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ミシロタウン}}''' ''Mishiro Town'') is located in southwestern [[Hoenn]]. It is where {{player}}s of the Hoenn-based games start their Pokémon journeys. Hoenn's region-exclusive professor, [[Professor Birch]], has a laboratory in the town that he uses for research on Pokémon.

The only exit of the town is north, which leads to {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and [[Oldale Town]] beyond. A person will block off this exit until the player has met [[Brendan]]/[[May]] in the house opposite the player's own.

This is the house where the player lives before beginning his/her journey. The game begins with {{ga|Brendan|him}} or {{ga|May|her}} moving into Littleroot from the [[Johto]] region. The male character lives in the house on the left, while the female character lives in the house on the right. The player's {{ho|Mom}} lives here, while [[Norman]], the player's father, drops by and stays a while. After the [[player]] obtains his/her starter Pokémon on Route 101, going home and talking to his/her mother will fully restore all of the player's Pokémon, just like a [[Pokémon Center]].

There are two levels, the first being a living room and kitchen area, while upstairs on the second level is where the player's bedroom is located. It contains a clock that the player must set at the start of the game to keep track of the [[time]], a [[Nintendo GameCube]] with a [[Game Boy Advance]] hooked up to it as a controller, and a [[PC]] to store [[item]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The rug can be decorated with {{pkmn|doll|Poké Dolls}}.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Littleroot Town is first seen in the very end of ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]''. In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', {{Ash}} meets there {{an|May}}, [[Professor Birch]] and {{OBP|Joshua|assistant}} for the first time while trying to save his {{AP|Pikachu}}. May, who lives in [[Petalburg City]], comes to get her starter Pokémon, {{TP|May|Torchic}}. It is also the hometown of {{jo|Harrison}}.

Littleroot Town in the anime is shown as quite a large town with a couple of tall buildings and towers. The anime also depicts Littleroot Town as having a port, despite being clearly landlocked in the maps of the games. Professor Birch's laboratory is located in the forested outskirt of Littleroot Town.

Like the rest of Hoenn, Littleroot Town was flooded when {{adv|Super-ancient Pokémon|Groudon and Kyogre}} were awakened later during the chapter.
