Striaton City: Difference between revisions

|type=building

Striaton City is home to [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]], who jointly act as the Striaton City [[Gym Leaders]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, before retiring their Gym Leader positions in {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}. Striaton City is also where [[Fennel]] and [[Amanita]] reside, before moving to [[Castelia City]] in Black 2 and White 2. The eastern half of Striaton City houses buildings with unique architectural designs. The western part of the city houses a beautifully designed garden.

[[Fennel]] and [[Amanita]] live together in the house in the northern entrance of the easternmost building in Striaton City. They share a room on the top floor, which cannot be accessed until defeating the [[Striaton Gym]]. Fennel gives the player {{HM|01|Cut}} as a reward for defeating the Gym Leader. Amanita introduces herself as the creator of the [[Unova]] [[Pokémon Storage System]], then explains the {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|Battle Box}}. After speaking with her, the "Someone's PC" becomes "Amanita's PC".

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, due to Fennel and Amanita moving to [[Castelia City]], they are absent. Instead, a woman, a man, a {{p|Herdier}}, and an [[Up-Grade]] are found. The man names all of the Pokémon Storage System admins, and the woman states that the C-Gear's current version is version 3.0.

Striaton City is host to the first [[Gym]] the {{player}} can challenge. Uniquely, this Gym has three brothers for Gym Leaders, and the Gym Leader faced by the player is determined by the starter the player chooses. If the player chooses {{p|Snivy}}, the player will face Chili and his {{p|Pansear}}. If the player chooses {{p|Tepig}}, the player will face Cress and his {{p|Panpour}}. If the player chooses {{p|Oshawott}}, the player will face Cilan and his {{p|Pansage}}.

Striaton City appeared in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]''. It is a city with huge skyscrapers and loads of shops, including a market. {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} first met {{an|Cilan}} there and he invited them to his [[Gym]].

Ash defeated [[Chili]] and Cilan, but lost to [[Cress]]; and as such, Ash won his first Badge. In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', {{TRT}}'s investigation in the [[Dreamyard]] caused [[Dream Mist]] to fall over Striaton City, but they were stopped by Ash, Iris, Cilan and [[Fennel]]. In the end Cilan decided to travel with Ash and Iris.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

{{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} reach Striaton City in ''[[PS469|Welcome To Striaton City!!]]'' in their search for {{adv|Black}}. After meeting up with him, they get wrapped up into his Gym battle and join him in battling the Gym leaders. After the battle, Black gives a pair of [[Xtransceiver]]s to Cheren and Bianca. {{adv|White}} appears and introduces herself before continuing on her journey with Black. Cheren and Bianca then realise that they didn't register Black's number.

 

{{right clear}}

* The fact that the map description references a snowy climate and that the name of the city is a corruption of "[[wiktionary:striation|striation]]" (scratches left in rock from glacial friction) is likely a reference to {{wp|Long Island}}, which was formed by glacial deposits during {{wp|Quaternary glaciation|the ice age}}. Moreover, the position of Long Island relative to Manhattan is nearly identical to the position of the east peninsula of Unova relative to the central region, which was based on Manhattan.

* Despite [[Pikachu]] not being native to the Unova region, Pikachu-shaped hedges can be found in the garden. This is one of the few cameo appearances of Pikachu in Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2.

* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, tame {{p|Stunfisk}} appear in the garden at night in the summer. This could be a reference to the {{pkmn|anime}} where {{an|Cilan}} owns a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}.
