What is your Favorite Town in Pokémon?

[OfficerRaichu15]

i would like to say my favorite town in Pokémon has to be Ecruteak. This town is influenced by Feudal Japan as many of you know and is home to my favorite legendary, HO-OH. The Burned Tower and Bell Tower are both very fun to explore and the lore behind the town and the legendary beast(and HO-OH and Lugia) is interesting as well.
Lastly, I really like the Gym led by Morty since Ghost Pokémon are my favorite types.
What is your favorite town in Pokémon and why?


Edit: Forgot to mention Ecruteak has my favorite track in Johto.

Goldenrod City.

I just love the music there, and playing in the city at night gives me a fuzzy feeling. I always end up saving there before turning the game off.

 

[ZachiJP]

My favorite towns are only influenced by the music in them: Violet City in G/S and Accumula Town in B/W

 

[Stowaway Silfer]

Well you had to go and take mine so I'll just post images.

 

[PixelatedDonut]

Lavender town has the GOAT music.

 

[Syril]

I actually really liked Lumiose City.

 

[Sauce Marlow]

I just looked at every region's map and really couldn't pick a favourite, so I'm going to have to settle on Driftveil City because its music is the best.

Exactly the same here. Such a haunting vibe from that city.

I rally loved the general traditional Japan vibe that Johto had in general, and Ecruteak is the culmination of that.

The soundtrack, the lore, the architecture. It all ties together so perfectly and gives the region such a strong identity.

 

[Kickmaster Kim]

I don't think I have one. I have a favorite song for a Pokemon town, but the cities don't leave that much of an impact on me other than the big ones for being big and having the department stores. We need a nice one with different things to do in it or for something memorable to happen in it.

 

[Sera]

The first town that popped into my mind was goldenrod.

 

[SgtCobra]

Tough choice, I love lots of towns in Hoenn because of their relaxing atmosphere... Some I can name from the top of my head are Fortree, Lavaridge and Mossdeep City.

Also really enjoyed all the different buildings such as the dance theater, and the Ecruteak Gate.

Humilau city in BW2. Love the tropical look and music and the marine tube is cool.

 

[woopWOOP]

Goldenrod City.

Yup, first that popped in my head. Loved the mood at night there. Radio tower and train station left an impression too as a busy town.

Castelia City comes second because of the alleyways and harbor.

I guess huge cities are just my thing.

 

[Z..]

Lavender town has the GOAT music.

Click to shrink...

This. Always the first one on my mind because of that haunying music.

 

[Raijinto]

Pallet.

Such a boring answer but I don't think any other has as much attachment for me personally.

 

[Symphony]

Man, I can't decide if I want to say Goldenrod City or Snowbelle City, they both have incredible music and while Goldenrod has so much to do Snowbelle looks beautiful and was where I spent many hours hatching eggs. Other ones I'd rank right near the top are Ecruteak Town, Azelea Town and Laverre City.

 

[Oni]

Really like Azalea town with all its apricorn and slowpoke tail shenanigans

 

[Xita]

Opelucid is awesome.

It looks and sounds different depending on whether you're playing Black or White, and theme of the city is different too. It also has a different gym leader.

I can't decide my favorite music of the two of them. The Black version is catchier but I feel like the White version matches the tone of the game at that point better.

 

[Coaster17]

Lumiose City. I loved all of the cafes and shops.

The music changes depending on version? I did not know this.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Damn I was gonna say Ecruteak city as well.

 

[Amaterasu]

Lavender town. Love the creepy feel.

 

[Ballpoint Ren]

Fortree City for me. Might be relatively small, but I love the idea of a city of treehouses, really captures the feel of the whole "living with Pokémon/nature" theme that's often mentioned throughout the games. Also, ngl, but I loved running across the bridges for the sound they made in the original R/S; it also had a better theme compared to the slower one in OR/AS.

 

[Eszik]

I have very fond memories of discovering Fortree City as a child, it felt really different from all the other towns in the game! Although I was kinda disappointed when playing through it in ORAS recently, so I think nostalgia is a big factor here :p I also really like Snowpoint City, it's a very small and cozy town despite appearing late in the game and is a nice change of pace.

 

[Zellia]

Ecruteak is cool, definitely. My vote goes to Anistar City from XY though. The sundial is beautiful and the music is really chill and matches the timekeeping theme.

 

[NMFried]

Goldenrod City, absolutely. The music, the people, the buildings. All so very good.

 

[Mario_Bones]

I was thinking Ecruteak but everyone's already gone over everything I would have said about that. I loved Malie Garden in Alola because it was really reminiscent of Johto.

Unova had some great towns. Crossing the bridge into the massive city of Castelia was unlike anything else in a Pokemon game and was quite breathtaking. Anville Town was interesting; it was a peaceful, out-of-the-way location that you were never required to visit and seeing the different trains was cool. And while it was never hugely important or anything there was something about Humilau City that I loved. It had a beautiful colour palette and I just liked being there and looking at it.

 

[Richietto]

Yo legit this is a harder question than what my favorite Pokemon are. So many good towns with great themes with phenomenal music. Honestly it might be Violet, Azalea, or Ekruteak just on music alone.

 

[Ballpoint Ren]

Goldenrod City, absolutely. The music, the people, the buildings. All so very good.

Goldenrod's theme is just the bicycle theme slowed down tho.

 

[Disclaimer]

Has to be Cerulean City for me.

Was always a fan of Misty and her Starmie, and the place has a lot going on outside of her gym. Your confrontation with Gary, Nugget Bridge, the gauntlet to Bill's house, getting Bulbasaur and Charmander in Yellow.

 

[Iride]

Azalea Town and Ecruteak City have already been mentioned, so...

Castelia City and Verdanturf Town are also on my list - the former for being phenomenal to see when playing BW for the first time (especially after going across Skyarrow Bridge!), and Verdanturf for being so serene and relaxing. It helps that both places have great music, too.

 

[Deleted member 1074]

ye my favorites are Ecruteak and lavender love the atmosphere

 

[NMFried]

And it's really good also tho.

 

[Doskoi Panda]

I grew up playing Pokemon. Cut my teeth on Red, it's probably why I love games today.

But I've got the most nostalgia for Jubilife City and I don't know why.

I also got a lot of love for that river city with the bridge that's tucked into a corner of Sinnoh but I forget the name

 

[GuitarGuruu]

Snowpoint City has always been one of my favorites, so comfy.

 

[Koppai]

Pretty much anything themed after Japan so basically Ecruteak. Also love Lavender Town music.

 

[Darryl M R]

Goldenrod, Ecruteak, and Pallet.

 

[Vorkken]

Lacunosa Town from Black/White. Nice, relaxing music and a chill atmosphere. And the fact that everyone lives in fear of Kyurem is such a sharp contrast to the whole feel of the town making for an interesting little place.

 

[Syder]

Has to be Lavender Town, right?

Although I've always been partial to Vermillion.

 

[mindatlarge]

Lavender town has the GOAT music.

Came to post this.

 

[Aleh]

Goldenrod has an awesome and lively atmosphere, Liliycove is super relaxing and it has nice buildings to see and finally Hearthome is probably the coziest city yet.
There are so many I like though, Canalave has a beautiful theme for example. Love the exotic atmosphere of Konikoni and Malie in Sun and Moon.

 

[KillstealWolf]

Lets pick a favourite from each Region.

Kanto: Fuchsia City
Johto: Blackthorn City
Hoenn: Fortree City (Battle Frontier if it counts)
Sinnoh: Snowpoint City
Unova: Nimbasa City
Kalos: Anistar City
Alola: Po Town

 

[Crayolan]

I like the big towns with a ton of stuff to do like Goldenrod and Castelia. Except Lumiose, that place is a confusing maze of a city.

If Village Bridge counts, that too. It's fun going around activating all the additional instruments for the song.

 

[Toxi]

Driftveil is my favorite just because the music is so good.

 

[StrmSrg]

Nimbasa City for having not one but two sports stadiums filled with new trainers daily, the entire subway system, the Pokemon theatre, and my personal favorite, the ferris wheel.

Also, the music for the town really pumps you up and is a nice change from the mostly gentle themes of the other towns in the game.

 

[Masaru]

Favorite town/city would be Goldenrod, it's a very lively area plus the layout and music is the best. Whitney and her Miltank can get out though.

I also like Celadon from Kanto.

 

[bremon]

I can't choose between Lavendar Town and Cinnabar Island but it's defintely one of those two.

 

[Rhomega]

Lilycove City in Hoenn. Big city with being a coastal city, having a department store and Contest Center. I also want to mention Olivine since it's also coastal, has a Gym and a major lighthouse (I love lighthouses).

 

[Nav]

Lavender Town is my OG pick, but in terms of modern presentation, Po Town is super interesting.
