'''Anville Town''' (Japanese: '''カナワタウン''' ''Kanawa Town'') is situated in the northwestern part of the Unova region. It is accessed by riding the [[Battle Subway]]'s Anville line (shown brown on the subway map) from Gear Station in [[Nimbasa City]]; no battles are required to be able to go to this town. On the weekends, some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s come to this town to exchange items.

==Slogan==
'''''Rolling Out the Steel Rails''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|カナワとは交差する鉄の輪}}''' ''Kanawa refers to intersecting iron rings.'')
==Lost Pansage==
In Black 2 and White 2, the {{tc|School Kid}} standing near the entrance has lost her {{p|Pansage}}. Her Pansage is being kept by a {{tc|Depot Agent}} in front of the {{DL|Pokémon Musical|Musical Theater}} in [[Nimbasa City]]. If the {{player}} talks to the Depot Agent after finding out about the lost Pansage, he will return it. When the player returns to Anville Town and talks to the girl, who now has her Pokémon back, she will give the player a {{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}} and say that a green-haired guy (implied to be [[N]]) told her that her Pansage's dream is to become a railroad conductor.

A {{tc|Depot Agent}} handing out lost-and-found items lives in the south-eastern house, initially giving the player a Rare Candy. When visited, he will give a [[vitamin]], {{DL|Revive|Max Revive}}, or {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}} for each set of seven consecutive battles won at the [[Battle Subway]] since last visit, capping at ten.
A {{tc|Depot Agent}} handing out lost-and-found items lives in the southeastern house. When the player first talks to him, he will give the player a Rare Candy. After that, he will acquire a new item if the player wins seven consecutive battles on the [[Battle Subway]]. So long as he has an item, further streaks of seven will increase the number of that item that he will give the player when they talk to him, up to a maximum of ten.

===The turntable===
===Turntable===
Anville Town is known for its connection with locomotives, and every day a different train engine can be found on the turntable in front of the town's {{wp|roundhouse}}, most of them a part of the Battle Subway system of trains. A {{tc|Worker}} on the bridge will explain their origins, inner-workings, and/or capabilities.

During the [[Battle Subway]] trial, {{adv|White}} reached Anville Town. One of the {{tc|Subway Boss}}es, [[Ingo]], prevented White from leaving the train until she battled him. The battle ended in a draw, and Ingo was satisfied with White's progress. White heard a pleasant tune, then saw {{adv|Bianca}} on the bridge over the station, who was playing the flute. White found out why Bianca ended up at the faraway town, and helped cheer her up.

Anville Town (Japanese: カナワタウン Kanawa Town) is situated in the northwestern part of the Unova region. It is accessed by riding the Battle Subway's Anville line (shown brown on the subway map) from Gear Station in Nimbasa City; no battles are required to be able to go to this town. On the weekends, some Trainers come to this town to exchange items.

Slogan

Rolling Out the Steel Rails (Japanese: カナワとは交差する鉄の輪 Kanawa refers to intersecting iron rings.)

Lost Pansage

In Black 2 and White 2, the School Kid standing near the entrance has lost her Pansage. Her Pansage is being kept by a Depot Agent in front of the Musical Theater in Nimbasa City. If the player talks to the Depot Agent after finding out about the lost Pansage, he will return it. When the player returns to Anville Town and talks to the girl, who now has her Pokémon back, she will give the player a BrightPowder and say that a green-haired guy (implied to be N) told her that her Pansage's dream is to become a railroad conductor.

Places of interest

Lost-and-found

A Depot Agent handing out lost-and-found items lives in the southeastern house. When the player first talks to him, he will give the player a Rare Candy. After that, he will acquire a new item if the player wins seven consecutive battles on the Battle Subway. So long as he has an item, further streaks of seven will increase the number of that item that he will give the player when they talk to him, up to a maximum of ten.

Turntable

Anville Town is known for its connection with locomotives, and every day a different train engine can be found on the turntable in front of the town's roundhouse, most of them a part of the Battle Subway system of trains. A Worker on the bridge will explain their origins, inner-workings, and/or capabilities.

Traders

Every Saturday and Sunday, except on days when the Worker talks about the Hyperspeed Train, traders are present in town, who ask to trade their items for items in the player's Bag.

Variable scoring

A flute track will be added to the background theme if the player is near a flautist playing on the bridge overlooking the turntable. When trying to talk to the flautist, instead of dialog, a message saying, "A beautiful tune is spreading throughout the town..." will be displayed. She is there every day of the week.

In the anime

Anville Town in the anime

Jessie and James arrived at Anville Town in Meowth's Scrafty Tactics! having followed the Subway tracks, and stated it would be an important part of their plan. Team Rocket's mobile research lab arrived there in Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?. It then appeared at the end of Battle for the Underground! as Ash, Iris, and Cilan were looking at the sun going down here, having foiled Team Rocket's plan.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

During the Battle Subway trial, White reached Anville Town. One of the Subway Bosses, Ingo, prevented White from leaving the train until she battled him. The battle ended in a draw, and Ingo was satisfied with White's progress. White heard a pleasant tune, then saw Bianca on the bridge over the station, who was playing the flute. White found out why Bianca ended up at the faraway town, and helped cheer her up.

Trivia

  • Anville Town is the first city or town in the Pokémon world to not be physically connected to another location by a route or cave, yet is not an island.
    • It is also impossible to use Fly to access this town, being the first to do so. It can be only accessed by the Battle Subway Brown Line.
    • It is also the first of two settlements not to be represented by a city or town icon on the map, instead being represented by a generic location icon. The other is the Village Bridge, which does not have any icon.
