Pallet Town: Difference between revisions

Before going down the stairs, there is a sign on the wall that reminds the player how to open the bag. A movie shown on the player's television involving four boys walking on railroad tracks, possibly a reference to the film {{wp|Stand by Me}}, which is screened during Generation I, however, during Generation III, this will only appear if the player is a male. If the player is a female, the television will display a girl in pigtails walking down a yellow brick road, possibly a reference to the film {{wp|The Wizard of Oz}}.

In [[Generation]]s {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}, Red's mother is alone in the house, telling the {{player}} how worried she is about {{ga|Red}}, but also how proud she is of him. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the graphical features have also been updated to the Generation IV standard since {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. On the ground floor, there is a table with a large mug of tea sitting on it, a bigger TV, bookshelves and a kitchen area located on the north-western side of the room containing a refrigerator and a sink. On the upstairs floor is Red's bedroom, which contains a study desk with a laptop computer sitting on it, a [[Nintendo 64]] or [[Wii]], depending on the Generation, three bookshelves and a single bed in the south-western corner. Examining the laptop shows that the items in the room are collecting dust, as if [[history of the Pokémon world|they haven't been used in a long time]].

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 [[Generations]] {{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 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 [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] 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 her 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 mirror's the player's house, much like their Hoenn and Sinnoh counterparts.
