Hearthome City (Japanese: ヨスガシティ Yosuga City) is a city in the region of Sinnoh. Hearthome City is home to the Super Contest Hall, where one can take place in the Super Contest, a Gym, the Pokémon Fan Club, and the Poffin House, among other things. An old man will give the player a Happiny egg here in Diamond and Pearl. Hearthome City started as a place where people and Pokémon gathered and grew into a center of commerce, and is consistently voted as the most desirable place to live in all of Sinnoh. It is also a gateway to nearby Solaceon Town and Pastoria City.

Hearthome City is a child-friendly city, and there are many families and young mothers living there. Most of the buildings use elevators instead of stairs so that small children and Pokémon can move through the houses. There are prams strewn through the city. The citizens scrupulously keep their city clean.

In Platinum, the road paving was given an update so it is now all beige. The trees sprites were changed to match those in Platinum's Eterna Forest. In addition, the appearence of the entrances to Amity Square was modified so that the arch features a Psyduck, a Torchic and a Drifloon, and a Pikachu on its back.

Places of interest

Super Contest Hall

The biggest attraction, garnering contestants from all throughout the region, is the Super Contest Hall. The Super Contest Hall is an expanded format of the Pokémon Contests within Hoenn. In it, Pokémon are rated on their appearance and performance, rather than strength. They are different from the previous generation's competitions in that not only do they have more rounds, but rounds from the earlier games have been altered. The city's Gym Leader, Fantina, is a self-proclaimed master at Pokémon Super Contests.

Amity Square

Main article: Amity Square

A notable attraction is Amity Square, where Trainers relax with their Pokémon. Eleven different types of cute Pokémon will follow the player about in Amity Square, and many Pokémon wander about the city outside of their Poké Balls. Amity Square is located north of Hearthome City. The setup in Amity Square is identical to the Pikachu interaction system that was in Pokémon Yellow. Only certain small Pokémon can be taken for walks in Amity Square, usually of a "cute" appearance. Pokémon will fetch accessories or berries for their owners every 200 steps. In Pokémon Platinum, more Pokémon are allowed in than before, and the area has been expanded and redesigned. It now includes a rather large pool of water.

Pokémon Fan Club

Main article: Pokémon Fan Club

The Sinnoh's Pokémon Fan Club is located in the eastern area of Hearthome City. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and Pokémon Contests than Pokémon battles. The Sinnoh Pokémon Fan Club Chairman says that his Fan Club is number one nationwide because he brags more than anyone. However, he doesn't do it anymore because of people's complaints. This may also explain why only two other member are found in his club. Inside the Pokémon Fan Club, the player will receive the Poffin Case, needed to bake Poffin. In Platinum, another member of the club will rate the happiness of first Pokémon in the player's party.

Poffin House

Main article: Poffin House

The Poffin House is also here, where coordinators can bake Poffins to boost their Pokémon's condition for Pokémon Super Contests, either alone or through DS Wireless Communications with people nearby. Up to four people may bake at a time. The Poffin House is located west of the Poké Mart where the player can make Poffins, which are the replacement of Pokéblocks from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. The player has to speak to the lady a little to the left of the entrance, throw in his or her selected berry and start stirring the liquid to begin creating their own Poffin. The Poffin's level depends on the amount of time consumed cooking the Poffin, the number of burns, and the number of spills.

Bebe's House

Bebe, the system administrator for Sinnoh's Pokémon storage system who will also give the player an Eevee living in the midst of Hearthome City. Her house, which is next to the Pokémon Center in Hearthome, is not quite as cluttered as Lanette's. Bebe is good friends with Hayley, who owns a ranch in which Pokémon can be stored, and they still keep in contact with each other. After the player obtains the National Pokédex, she will give them a level 5 Eevee. This Eevee came from a good mate in Johto before being passed onto the player. In Pokémon Platinum, the Eevee is available right away at level 20, without the need of the National Pokédex.

Mr. Goods

Main article: Mr. Goods

Mr. Goods lives on the street of Hearthome, although he claims he can't remember who he is or his real name. He is a bemused man dedicated to rarities who gives out goods to decorate the Secret Base in the Sinnoh Underground with upon completion of certain tasks, such as using the GTS or defeating all eight Gyms. Mr. Goods will also reward a Trainer for other miscellaneous achievements.

Foreign Building

The Foreign Building is a building located in the western side of Hearthome City. It has six benches and stained glass windows. All the people there talk about the grace of life in the Pokémon world, supernatural powers, and the balance of spirit and nature. It seems to be loosely based on a church or cathedral, and is the first building in all the Pokémon games to be so. Respectfully, no music can be heard in the building.

Pokémon Hotel

In the middle of the city, next to the Pokémon Fan Club, is a hotel called the Pokémon Hotel. There are only two accessible floors within the hotel. These can be accessed to by a large, automatic elevator. Many visitors come from all parts of the world to enter the Super Contest, or visit Amity Square. Visitors can stay here for a while to enjoy the parts of Hearthome. The landlord inhibits the first floor, and on the second floor lives a woman and a Clefairy. She will give the player a Shell Bell, saying that she was given it on vacation, but already had one.

Hearthome Gym

Main article: Hearthome Gym

The Hearthome Gym is the official Gym of Hearthome City. It is based on Template:Type2 Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Fantina. Trainers who defeat her receive the Relic Badge. The Hearthome Gym in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, was the 5th gym, but in Pokémon Platinum, this was changed to the 3rd gym. This is evident by the significant level change of Fantina's Pokémon. The Hearthome Gym is a giant, five-story building constructed of gray stone blocks. It is illuminated by eerie gray-blue torches. On every floor, there is a mathematical puzzle and three doors corresponding with the answers. Picking the correct door leads to the next elevator up. Picking the wrong door leads to a dead end and a Trainer to fight. The Gym Leader waits in the final room on the fifth floor, which has stain-glass windows and resembles a cathedral. In Pokémon Platinum, Hearthome Gym has become much like Dewford Gym, in Hoenn; it is dark and there is only limited light source. The player must navigate their way around the gym using a flashlight. Duskull lamps are used as visible walls, to guide the player around. There are other Trainers with flashlights the player must battle, in order to make their way to Fantina. For defeating Fantina, Trainers receive the Relic Badge, TM65 (Shadow Claw), and the ability to use Defog outside of battle.

In the anime

In Dawn's Early Night, Hearthome City is first seen as a busy city. Ash tries to enter Hearthome Gym, but the Gym Leader isn't there, instead Nando comes to greet them. Dawn enters the Hearthome City Contest, only to find herself up against all of her rivals: Zoey, Jessie (disguised as Jessalina), and Nando. Dawn loses in the first round getting very depressed. Zoey loses to Nando in the finals.

Later, Ash, Dawn, and Brock enter the tag battle competition hosted in Hearthome City. Ash gets tagged with Paul, Dawn gets tagged with Conway, and Brock gets tagged with Holly. They all win their battles in the first and second rounds, advancing into the tag battle semifinals. After the second round, Paul releases his Chimchar due to its inability to use Blaze during the match, which is then adopted by Ash. Dawn and Conway make it to the finals while Paul and Ash duel against Brock and Holly. Paul's Torterra easily defeats Holly's Farfetch'd and Brock's Croagunk, sending Ash and Paul to the finals. In the final match, Ash and Paul send out Chimchar and Elekid while Conway and Dawn called out Heracross and Buizel. Elekid evolves into Electabuzz during the match, which helps Ash and Paul win the Tag Battle competition and the Soothe Bells.

Trivia

• Hearthome's Japanese town motto is こころが ふれあう ばしょ.
• A woman in the city mentions that she evolved one of her Pokémon with a Water Stone; however, none of the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex evolve via Water Stone. In Pokémon Platinum, her dialog is changed to reference a Fire Stone instead. Either way, no Pokémon in the original Sinnoh Pokédex can evolve using these two evolutionary stones, with only Eevee in the Platinum extension making use of them.
• In the anime, Enta is the mayor of Hearthome City. However, this is only mentioned in the dub.
• In Pokémon Platinum, there is a girl with a Shroomish in one of the houses, despite it not being in the Sinnoh Pokédex.
• In Pokémon Platinum, Hearthome City seems to be on the edge of what the DS can handle, and tends to lag when the player runs outside of a building.
• In Pokémon Platinum, the streets brown.
