Accumula Town appeared in [[BWGP02]], where [[Takurō]] and [[Mashiro]] met [[Professor Juniper]] there. When Takurō's [[bag]] was stolen by a {{p|Purrloin}}, he chased it and ended up saving it from falling off a cliff. Afterwards, Takurō befriended Purrloin and {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

{{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} camp out in Accumula Town when they are attacked by a wild {{p|Timburr}} that was revealed to be helping [[Team Plasma]] build a stand. The stand was used by [[Ghetsis]] who gave a speech trying to convince people to release their Pokémon so that they can be free.
===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
Accumula Town first appeared in ''[[PS466|An Odd Speech]]''. After arriving there, {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} camped outside for the night while White's {{p|Tepig}}, [[Gigi]], was given a hotel room due to her status as an actress in the [[BW Agency]]. The two were suddenly attacked by a {{p|Timburr}}, but the attack turned out to have been just [[Team Plasma]] setting up a stand, and they apologized for the damages and disturbance they had unintentionally caused for them. The next day, [[Ghetsis]] held a speech on the finished stand, imploring the people of Accumula Town to {{pkmn2|released|release}} their Pokémon. When some people indeed started doing this, several others followed suit, much to Black's shock.


When Black attempted to stop them from making any more speeches, he was attacked by [[N]] and was forced into battling him.
In ''[[PS467|Letting Go]]'', Black deduced that Team Plasma was holding similar speeches around [[Unova]], basing his deduction on the fact that his {{p|Galvantula}}, [[Tula]], had [[PS465|set up its trap]] close to a human residence, which seemed unusual for a [[wild Pokémon]], since they avoid making too much human contact. As such, it must've belonged to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who released it recently after hearing a similar speech. Soon afterwards, Black was approached by {{adv|N}}, who forced him to {{pkmn|battle}} him. During the battle, N expressed his disgust at the thoughts of Pokémon being confined to [[Poké Ball]]s and the [[Pokédex]] causing more Pokémon to be {{pkmn2|caught}} to complete its pages.
 
In ''[[PS468|Listening to Pokémon]]'', Black countered N's thoughts with a passionate speech about how his Pokémon weren't suffering, as they shared his desire to defeat the {{un|Pokémon League}}, with the Pokédex allowing him to understand his Pokémon better. After Black's Tepig, [[Tep]], had proven its determination by charging through N's {{p|Tympole}}'s attack, N called off the battle and left. White was worried if N was a member of Team Plasma, but while Black wasn't certain whether he was or not, he had seen N's dream in his [[Musha|Munna]]'s [[Dream Mist]] during the battle. Based on it, he decided that while N might've been wrong about them, he wasn't a bad guy.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Accumula's Japanese motto is {{tt|生い茂る ツルは 繁栄の証|Thick ivy is proof of prosperity}}.
*A [[List of typos|typographical error]] occurs in this town, when showing a tiny Pokémon to the {{tc|Youngster}} who makes daily requests to see one: "''Wow! Amazing! '''{{tt|a|&quot;an&quot; if the Pokémon's name begins with a vowel sound}}''' <Pokémon species name> is so tiny!''"
*The first battle with Lass Diana is the only Trainer battle in Black 2 and White 2 outside of a [[battle facility]] that has its levels unaffected by what {{DL|Key System|Difficulty|difficulty level}} is used; rather, the levels are based solely on what the player trades. If an Excadrill that is lower than 65 is traded to Diana, the Excadrill in battle will be raised to level 65; if the Excadrill traded is at least 65, the Excadrill in battle will instead be raised by 5 levels, to a maximum of 100.
**Additionally, if the Excadrill and Hippowdon traded to her are [[nickname]]d or {{Shiny}}, they will retain these factors when battling Diana.

Location of Accumula Town in Unova.

Accumula Town (Japanese: カラクサタウン Karakusa Town) is a small town located in southeastern Unova.

In Black and White, it is where the player first encounters Team Plasma, Ghetsis, and N. When the player first enters the town, Professor Juniper will be standing in front of the Pokémon Center and the player must talk to her and perform the Pokémon Center tutorial. Before doing this, Team Plasma members will prevent the player from continuing to Route 2. After doing this, Ghetsis and Team Plasma will appear in the town square and approaching them will automatically begin their speech.

Slogan

The Fast-Growing Town! (Japanese: 生い茂る ツルは 繁栄の証 Thick ivy is proof of prosperity.)

Places of interest

Town square

In the center of the town is an open, park-like area. It is here that Team Plasma makes their first speech in Black and White, and Ghetsis encourages the citizens of Accumula to release their Pokémon. After Ghetsis leaves, N appears out of the crowd and tries to listen and talk to the player's Pokémon. After he communicates with the player's Pokémon, he challenges the player to a battle.

Pokémon Adventures

Black & White arc

Accumula Town first appeared in An Odd Speech. After arriving there, Black and White camped outside for the night while White's Tepig, Gigi, was given a hotel room due to her status as an actress in the BW Agency. The two were suddenly attacked by a Timburr, but the attack turned out to have been just Team Plasma setting up a stand, and they apologized for the damages and disturbance they had unintentionally caused for them. The next day, Ghetsis held a speech on the finished stand, imploring the people of Accumula Town to release their Pokémon. When some people indeed started doing this, several others followed suit, much to Black's shock.

In Letting Go, Black deduced that Team Plasma was holding similar speeches around Unova, basing his deduction on the fact that his Galvantula, Tula, had set up its trap close to a human residence, which seemed unusual for a wild Pokémon, since they avoid making too much human contact. As such, it must've belonged to a Trainer who released it recently after hearing a similar speech. Soon afterwards, Black was approached by N, who forced him to battle him. During the battle, N expressed his disgust at the thoughts of Pokémon being confined to Poké Balls and the Pokédex causing more Pokémon to be caught to complete its pages.

In Listening to Pokémon, Black countered N's thoughts with a passionate speech about how his Pokémon weren't suffering, as they shared his desire to defeat the Pokémon League, with the Pokédex allowing him to understand his Pokémon better. After Black's Tepig, Tep, had proven its determination by charging through N's Tympole's attack, N called off the battle and left. White was worried if N was a member of Team Plasma, but while Black wasn't certain whether he was or not, he had seen N's dream in his Munna's Dream Mist during the battle. Based on it, he decided that while N might've been wrong about them, he wasn't a bad guy.

Trivia

  • A typographical error occurs in this town, when showing a tiny Pokémon to the Youngster who makes daily requests to see one: "Wow! Amazing! a <Pokémon species name> is so tiny!"
  • The first battle with Lass Diana is the only Trainer battle in Black 2 and White 2 outside of a battle facility that has its levels unaffected by what difficulty level is used; rather, the levels are based solely on what the player trades. If an Excadrill that is lower than 65 is traded to Diana, the Excadrill in battle will be raised to level 65; if the Excadrill traded is at least 65, the Excadrill in battle will instead be raised by 5 levels, to a maximum of 100.
    • Additionally, if the Excadrill and Hippowdon traded to her are nicknamed or Shiny, they will retain these factors when battling Diana.
