The small town is accessible in two ways: from the north via {{rt|1|Kanto}} that leads directly to [[Viridian City]], and from the south via {{rt|21|Kanto}}, a [[water route]], that leads to [[Cinnabar Island]].

===Rival's house===
===Rival's house===
In Generations I and III, after the [[Pokédex]] has been given to the player by Professor Oak, the [[Daisy Oak|rival's sister]] will give the player a [[Town Map]]. In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and IV, the sister of the {{ga|Blue|rival}} will help the player comb his/her Pokémon, causing its [[friendship]] to be raised. In [[Generation IV]], she'll give the player Blue's [[Pokégear]] phone number so the player can call and arrange a rematch with him at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. Also returning from previous generations, Daisy will [[Pokémon groomer|groom]] one of the player's Pokémon for free once daily between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. As in Generation II, it will raise a Pokémon's friendship greatly; however, it will also raise the Pokémon's {{OBP|Beauty|condition}} stat. This is not displayed anywhere in-game, and the Pokémon must be seen from the point of view of Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to notice. Despite this, {{p|Feebas}} whose Beauty is maxed out this way can [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Milotic}}, unlike in FireRed and LeafGreen, where the Beauty stat did not exist in any shape or form. As a reference to Daisy's enjoyment of tea in Generation III, a large mug of tea sits on her table. In the first three generations, the rival's house has always been one story, but in Generation IV, the rival's house has a second story that mirrors the player's house, much like their Hoenn and Sinnoh counterparts.

She can only groom one Pokémon for every 512 steps the player takes. In [[Generation IV]], she'll give the player Blue's [[Pokégear]] phone number so the player can call and arrange a rematch with him at the [[Fighting Dojo]].

===In the main series===
Pallet Town is the home town of the main character [[Ash Ketchum]] and his rival [[Gary Oak]]. As in the {{pkmn|games}}, [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] is located in Pallet Town. Ash always returns here before visiting a new [[region]]. Pallet Town is depicted in the {{pkmn|anime}} as having dirt trails and wide open grass fields. Pallet Town debuted in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when {{Ash}} received his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Since then, it has been seen in many episodes, mostly in the start and ending of a region adventure, but also in [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and in the {{pkmn|movie}}s.

Professor Oak's Laboratory stands out in Pallet Town for its wind turbine, the three windows of the inner balcony, and for the four windows of the second floor. Every time Ash captures a Pokémon when he has six already [[party|with him]], the new Pokémon is automatically transported here. Ash also has a habit of leaving all of his Pokémon besides Pikachu here each time he leaves for a new region, starting with [[Hoenn]]. The lab is composed of two floors. Inside the entrance door is a hallway with several doors, and to the left is a chest of drawers and the stairway to the second floor. The Oak Corral is a natural environment for Pokémon development. It is divided into regions according to type; there are areas that are perfect for {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, desert areas for {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}} types, grassy regions, and several lakes. Sometimes the Pokémon don't get along; for this reason, some Pokémon, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], act as mediators between quarreling Pokémon.

The [[Xanadu Nursery]] is another location close to Pallet Town. The nursery is a large greenhouse that is home to various flowers and plants. Among them is a flower that contains {{m|Stun Spore}}. Two of the nursery's employees are [[Florinda Showers]] and [[Potter]]. Along with Florinda's {{p|Gloom}}, they help to make sure the operations at Xanadu run smoothly. While {{pkmn|training}} for the [[Pokémon League]] in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'', {{Delia|Ash's mom}} requested that her son help her run some errands and visit the nursery. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} took off, not wanting to help with Delia's plans. Eventually, they ended up at the very place she requested them to be at. Pallet Town may have an airport due to the fact that Ash, Delia and {{an|Professor Oak}} left for [[Unova]] on an airplane in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''. Also, Ash left for [[Kalos]] with [[Alexa]] on an airplane in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

Ash has left for another region on an airplane in both ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' shortly after visiting Pallet Town; however, wether an airport is actually located in the town itself or not is unknown.

===In Pokémon Origins===
Pallet Town made a couple of appearances in [[Pokémon Origins]], being the home town of {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. It made its first appearance in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', where both Red and Blue were seen receiving a [[Pokédex]] each from Professor Oak, after which they got to choose their starter Pokémon. Red chose {{TP|Red|Charmander}}, while Blue chose {{p|Squirtle}} to counter Red's choice. Afterwards, both Red and Blue departed Pallet Town and started gathering information on their Pokédexes.

In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, Pallet Town is visited in the rounds ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' and ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' for being the hometown of the main character {{adv|Red}} and the place where [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] is located. It is also where Red caught a {{p|Nidorino}} when most of the children tried to catch it but didn't weaken it. The town also has a forest where Red and {{adv|Blue}} see a {{p|Mew}} whilst {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s try to capture it. Later, in ''[[PS027|Kalling Kadabra]]'', the entire townspeople are kidnapped and held hostage in the [[Silph Co.]] headquarters in [[Saffron City]].

In the {{chap|Yellow}}, Red saved a postman from his rampaging {{p|Ponyta}}. The postman had arrived at Pallet Town to deliver a letter to Red. Once it was clear that Red had disappeared after accepting the challenge written in the letter, {{adv|Yellow}} came to Pallet Town and assumed guardianship of the [[Pika]]chu that ran back to Professor Oak's lab. Green had also found a new house in Pallet Town, and used it to monitor Yellow's progress.

==Trivia==
* Aside from [[Ash Ketchum]], other notable {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who have come from Pallet Town include [[Gary Oak]], {{OBP|Gilbert|SS014}}, {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}}.

** Besides those stated above, there are two other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that live in Pallet Town. These are the Trainers that began their journey on the same day as [[Ash Ketchum]] and received either {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Charmander}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. It is unknown if they will ever appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}, or if they've already appeared but never been named.
* Although this town is quite small in the {{pkmn|games|video games}}, it is shown as a somewhat spacious town in the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|manga}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{ga|Red}}'s bedroom features an area rug around his bed that is red in color. {{ga|Blue}}'s bedroom features a similar area rug, which is instead green in color. This is a reference to Blue's Japanese name, Green.
