===Introducing: Homika===
===Tourist Spot: Goldenrod City===
* '''Homika''' ('''ホミカ''') is one of the new [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Unova]] region. She is set to appear in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. She specializes in {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Toxic}} to Trainers who defeat her.  
* '''Goldenrod City''' (Japanese: '''コガネシティ''' ''Kogane City'') is a sprawling metropolis located in western [[Johto]]. It is the largest city in the region, rivaling [[Celadon City]], the largest city in [[Kanto]]. Goldenrod City is the third largest city in the Pokémon world, behind [[Unova]]'s [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]].
* She is a {{wp|musician}} who plays the bass guitar, her band is called "The {{tt|Dogars|Koffing}}". Her Gym is a music club.
* Major attractions for Trainers include the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the city's [[Goldenrod Department Store|Department Store]], Game Corner, Name Rater, [[Magnet Train]], Global Terminal (HeartGold and SoulSilver only) and Gym.
* Homika is set to appear in ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2)]]''. In the episode, Ash will challenge Homika to a 6 on 3 battle with Homika using {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Scolipede}} and {{p|Garbodor}}.
* The city is home to [[Whitney]] the Goldenrod City [[Gym Leader]]. She uses {{type|Normal}} Pokémon and gives out the {{badge|Plain}} to trainers who defeat her.
* Her father is an actor who works in Pokèwood.
* The player can receive a [[Bicycle]] at the [[Miracle Cycle]] for free. At first the owner loans the bike to the player to advertise it as the business doesn't look good for the shop thanks to its obscure location. After a while, the owner will call the player to tell him/her to keep it as sales and customers have greatly improved.
* She is the first Poison type Gym Leader outside of [[Kanto]]. She is also the first Gym Leader to appear in the anime before her game debut.
* Goldenrod City first appears in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in the city so Ash may win his third Johto League Gym Badge. However, the Gym is closed, so the gang decides to explore the city, specifically the Goldenrod Galleria.
* Goldenrod is the hometown of [[Bill]], the inventor of both Kanto's and Johto's Pokémon Storage System, as well as the rest of his family, who lives in a small house near the southern entrance to Goldenrod Tunnel. However, some of his family also lives in [[Fuchsia City]] and his grandfather lives in Sea Cottage on [[Kanto Route 25|Route 25]].
* Although not featured directly, Goldenrod City has appeared in the background of a few cards starting in the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. For example, {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Clefairy|60}} is featured in front of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and the [[Magnet Train]] and {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Chansey|58}} is featured in the [[Goldenrod Department Store]].
