Places
Classrooms
The classrooms at the school follow a structure very similar to that of a classroom in Japanese schools. It has a bigger slate in the center with a speaker (probably for school ads) and two smaller ones on the sides that have some ads. At the back of the room there are a few more slates that work as a notice board and a small bookcase.
Playground
This place is used for students to leave their Pokémon while they are attending classes In addition to toys designed for Pokémon, there are some made for humans as well. In JN049, the Team Rocket Trio disguised themselves as students to steal the Pokémon.
