Damn how could I forget Olivine? It's one of my favorites too. Love how they updated it in HGSS!

What is your Favorite Town in Pokémon?

Came here to say Ecruteak, OP did my job for me. Johto had really nice vibes.
I really like most of the towns in Diamond/Pearl, too. It is kind of funny, because that is probably my absolute least favorite set of games from a gameplay perspective, but Sinnoh was a great region. Loved its quiet northern atmosphere.

Ecruteak due to the variety of buildings, the lore, the towers and the music.
A close second, due to the music and the SS Anne, is Vermilion. I heard Vermilion's music in an orchestral arrangement and almost wanted to cry from emotion.

Goldenrod City, especially in the original Gold, Silver, and Crystal games. That town theme combined with the pixels and day-and-night cycle . . . <3
Aside from that, Verdanturf Town because it's right next to the Pokemon Daycare . . . I used to go there all the time as a kid because I mistook the elderly man for an actual bear who wore a sweater vest, and I thought it was cute seeing the other Pokemon play in the backyard. The Ruby and Sapphire remakes made me realize that the Daycare owner is indeed an actual elderly man and not a bear.

My fav's already been covered a lot. Ecruteak just has a great combo of design, lore, and music.
Cerulean City is pretty good too. Lot of cool set pieces inside and nearby (Rocket encounter, Nugget Bridge, Bill's Lab, Cerulean Cave).

Breaking it down by regions;
Kanto;
Vermilion City; There is just something peaceful about the port city.
Johto;
Cianwood City, Again the city is so peaceful plus it's near the Whirl Island, which home to Lugia.
Hoenn;
Mossdeep City, Nice little peaceful island plus the space center is there.
Sinnoh;
Canalave City, I enjoy reading up lore, so the Canalave Library really makes it stand out along with the history of the Inn and the history of Iron Island.
Unova;
Anville Town, it's a nice and peaceful little town where the train sleeps thus making a perfect escape from the humdrum of the city life.
Kalos;
Don't have one due to Kalos being the most uninteresting region to grace the Pokémon series.
Alola;
Malie City, It has a nice garden to visit plus a library that dives into the history of Alola.
Honestly all the routes, caves, forest city, town and island in all region are pretty good and added a lot of character to the region...except for Kalos, that region is nothing more than a test engine region.

OP ended the thread
Everything about Ecruteak is wonderful, especially the music.
Of all Pokémon cities, i'd Want to see that in 3D the most.

Ecruteak is a great pick. It's probably in my top three. I love the classic Japanese architecture, the autumn mood in the DS remakes, the lore with the three gerbils and Ho-Oh, and Morty.
My other two picks (not sure how to order them) are Fortree City and Lavaridge Town. Lavaridge is really small, but I thought the hot spring was so charming. I wish it had more, but I still loved to visit there all the time on the GBA games and save the game there. Fortree City was also really creative to me at the time. I mean, who doesn't wanna secretly live in a treehouse? I too loved the bridge sounds, as well as the surrounding routes. I always had my Secret Base be on the left bottom route between Fortree and Lilycove because it had cute puddles nearby, a pond, and four berry patches for me to farm 99+ berries. I was so mad when they screwed that base up in the 3DS games...
Overall I don't really like the ORAS remakes. I hate the stiff animations from the characters; the 3D design still feels cheap even if it's slightly better than XY; I feel like the region loses more charm than it gains. I thought FireRed and LeafGreen were all right for Kanto (they made some weird decisions, but the game still looked good and kept the feel of the region for the most part), and HeartGold and SoulSilver are my favorite Pokemon games. I'm playing Silver right now, and you can see how much charm they added to the DS remakes (besides making some quality of life changes like the berry / apricorn stuff). With Fortree and Lavaridge, the towns may not have been that big, but they were cute and they were on the GBA. I feel like the 3DS games could have added more flavor to both, just like they did with Ecruteak and the autumn colors, but they really dropped the ball. I think it disappoints me so much because I was so impressed with seeing real color in a Pokemon game back in the GBA era. I thought ORAS could invoke the same feelings of awe when going into 3D, but the transition has been real weak so far. At least Sun and Moon look decent. /gen rant

Trying to choose for a reason other than music:
Cinnabar Island
Mewtwo lore, bringing fossils back to life, and Missingno.

Aspertia City for sure. For one thing the music. It's the only starting area that is a city and not a town. Plus the special view. Everything is perfect.
Driftveil's music sounds a lot like Calamari Inkantation
Anyway mine are: Nimbasa City from Unova, Lilycove City from Hoenn, and Lumiose City from Kalos.(I loved it for the same reason a lot of people hated it: it's huge! A Vivec sized city in a Pokemon game with multiple fly points is great. My only major beef is that the Eiffel Tower isn't the Battle Tower.)
Town or City?
If we're talking about both...
AFTER 30 MINUTES....
I finally decided on Fuchsia City.
