Location Location of Anville Town in Unova. |
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.

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.

A flute track will be added to the background theme if the player is near a flautist playing on the bridge overlooking the turntable.

In the anime
Jessie and James arrived at Anville Town in Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!, having followed the Subway tracks, and said 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 in the end of Battle for the Underground! as Ash, Iris, and Cilan were looking at the sun going down there, having foiled Team Rocket's plan.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Black & White arc
Anville Town appeared in With a Little Help from My Friends, where White wound up there during her Battle Subway trial. After her match with Ingo had ended in a draw, she was allowed to exit the train. Upon hearing beautiful music, White followed it and found Bianca, who was playing a flute. Bianca revealed that she had come to the town hide from her father, depressed over her lack of a goal, lackluster battling skills, and inability to fulfill Professor Juniper's request of completing the Pokédex. To cheer her up, White decided to take her to Café Sonata in Castelia City, with a Pokémon following them due to the sound of Bianca's music.
