  • Every region has a set of towns and cities, but what are your favorite town/city names?

    Most regions seem to have a name theme scheme. Ie: Kanto's cities are named after colors (in English, at least, I think), Johto has a mix of colors and woods for their names. Hoenn's names are themed after nature, land and sea, basically. (Petalburg, Lavaridge). For Sinnoh, it's just combining two words, so I'm unsure on that one, actually. A lot of Unova's towns and city names are themed after clouds. I don't know what the theme is for Kalos, but I think a lot of the names have French words in there. I believe most of Alola's towns and cities are Hawaiian words, and the Galar region names are British.

    But this is just me looking on Wikipedia.

    Anyway, what are some of your favorite town/city names? It can be from any language, really. Putting this in Pokemon General because I want this to apply to the other mediums of Pokemon as well, ie, anime, card game, etc.

    Goes with Cerulean City (Kanto), Solaceon Town (Sinnoh), Santalune City (Kalos), and Haruba Village (Almia from Pokemon Ranger). Identifies no reason other than sounding nice.

    Any of the Alola cities, maybe specifically Hau'oli City. Really like it when your near the ocean. And a mixture of Urban and Nature.

  • Never really gave it any thought, but I suppose I'll go with:
    Snowbelle City, Sootopolis City, Fortree City, Dendemille Town, Cherrygrove City.

    Their names just appeal to me in one way or another =3

    Honestly Sinnoh stands out the most to me in town/city names that I just like and think sound nice. Floaroma Town, Pastoria City, Celestic Town... all really pretty sounding. I also really like Azalea Town, Cherrygrove City, and Ecruteak City. Lastly, Castelia City, Opelucid City, and Saffron City get an honorable mention.
