In the Alola region, Pokémon Base (Japanese: ポケベース Pokébase) is a popular recreation which consists of humans and Pokémon playing a baseball game together. It was introduced in Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!, in which Ash, his classmates, and Team Rocket competed in a friendly match at the Pokémon School. Oluolu is said to be a very famous player.

Known teams

Magikarp

The Magikarp team seems to be the most famous of the Alola region's Pokémon Base. Despite its name, it is unrelated to the Kanto/Johto region baseball team. The team Magikarp made recurring appearances in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. In Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!, the team is shown becoming champion of the current season. In Night of a Thousand Poses!, the Magikarp is seen playing against another team, which is later revealed to have won the match.

In the core series games

In Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, Nimbasa City's Big Stadium has a baseball field inside of it on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. There is also the Infielder Trainer class, who are baseball players, and can be battled in the Big Stadium whenever the baseball field is present.

Trivia

  • The inclusion of baseball in Pokémon is likely due to its high popularity in Japan. During the baseball season, it is common for there to be weeks where no new episodes of Pokémon air due to TV Tokyo choosing to broadcast the game instead.
