Pokémon the Series

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

Humilau City was first mentioned by Jervis in Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure! as a suggestion for Cameron's eighth Gym.

The city briefly appeared in The Road to Humilau!, where Marlon brought Ash and Cameron there aboard his Wailord after the two were separated from Cilan and Iris and got lost. At the Humilau Gym, Cameron battled Marlon for his eighth Unova Gym Badge and won, qualifying him for Unova's Pokémon League Conference.

Humilau City was mentioned by Cheren in Pink Slip, where Marlon was revealed to have become the city's Gym Leader sometime after his participation in the Pokémon League tournament two years earlier.

Trivia

• On the face board featuring a pair of Frillish, the eyes of the male Frillish are incorrectly colored, being the inverse of what they should be.
• After entering the Hall of Fame, when the player stands behind the face board, an NPC will come and take a photo with the player, allowing them to earn the Face Board Memorial Medal.
• A Lady will say "This dress is comfy and easy to wear...", referencing Youngster Ben from Route 3 in Kanto, who said, "Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!"
• A female Swimmer will say "When I float between the waves like this, I'm like a mermaid. Now that I think of it, there was a tomboyish-mermaid Gym Leader in Kanto." This is a reference to Misty.
