The entrance to Join Avenue in Black 2

Join Avenue (Japanese: ジョインアベニュー Join Avenue) is a building introduced in Pokémon Black and White 2. It is located between Route 4 and Nimbasa City, replacing Nimbasa Gate which was previously there.

Initially, Join Avenue is an empty building, as it is the player's task to invite visitors, making them residents. These visitors are NPCs visiting daily, known as the player's fans, or avatars of other players which have been registered by the player's game. Visitors can be invited to open their own dream shop or recommended to visit another shop on Join Avenue, increasing its popularity if the customer is satisfied. Exclamations akin to those appearing in the streets of Castelia City can be seen in Join Avenue.

Attracting customers

The amount of NPC fans visiting daily increases with the rank of Join Avenue. These typically yield less popularity points than the avatars of other players. Occasionally, visitors will give the player an item when engaged.

To get the avatar of another player to visit Join Avenue, the player can do the following:

• Register the player on the C-Gear's Tag Log
• Have a battle or trade with the player (both wireless and Wi-Fi are included)
• Have a person leave a footprint at the player's Dream World house

NPC fans will visit the Avenue every day, unless the DS's clock is changed, in which case no NPC fan will appear in the avenue for several days. This is presumably done to prevent players from abusing the feature by constantly resetting the clock.

Assistants

Assistants will reside in the player's office, providing various services. This is a list of the assistants that the player can gain:

• Ace Trainer ♀ Jacci (Japanese: イチミ Ichimi), initial resident.

"Leave registration to me!"

Can check avenue status, change avenue name (under usual restrictions), change player's avenue title, and change various phrases. Some of these options will be inaccessible before certain ranks are reached.

• Ace Trainer ♂ Future (Japanese: ミライ Mirai), initial resident.

"Ask me about shops!"

Can tell a perfect shop for the player, letting the player choose from a list of different types of shops. The length of this list increases with the rank of Join Avenue, ultimately containing all eight shop types.

• Scientist ♂ Gardner (Japanese: パソキチ Pasokichi), reward from the owner upon reaching rank 2.

"Let me organize everything!"

Can move the player's Pokémon in the Pokémon Storage System, show various statistics about the player and residing avatars of other players, change the roles of assistants, change the physical order of shops in the avenue, and change the appearance of the avenue's neon arch. The latter option is inaccessible before reaching rank 6.

• Nurse Elethia (Japanese: チュ Chu), reward from the owner upon reaching rank 4.

"Leave Pokémon healing to me!"

Can heal the player's Pokémon.

The roles of these assistants can be swapped at will (as mentioned above), and after reaching rank 8, they can be replaced by visiting avatars of other players.

In addition, NPCs will start residing in the players office and on the avenue, as Join Avenue's rank increases. These will ask the player multiple-choice questions concerning personal information and preferences. The answers given will be used to determine various outcomes when players interact with each other in Join Avenue. One of these NPCs, namely the man residing in the player's office wearing a black suit and shades, does not follow this pattern, and will instead provide some information about the current shop owners in the player's avenue - this applies only to the avatars of other players owning a shop, as the man will have no information about regular NPC fans.

Shops

Shops are created when inviting a visitor to open one. Join Avenue can contain a maximum of eight shops at a time, shops being replaceable when this limit is reached.

By recommending a shop to an appropriate visitor, the shop's popularity will increase. Popularity determines the overall rank of Join Avenue, which influences the prices of Join Avenue services. It also determines the individual rank of the recommended shop, which determines the services it provides. A shop starts at rank 1 and will stop increasing in rank afer reaching rank 10, although it will still receive popularity points, affecting the overall rank of Join Avenue. All shops change appearance and name when reaching rank 4, and again at rank 8.

There are eight different types of shops, but some variation in terms of services provided is also found within most shop types, depending on the shop owner. For example, Scientist ♀ Anneli and Pokémon Ranger ♀ Jenna both open shops of the Dojo type, but the services they provide are different. Similarly, Flower Shops offer type-resistant Berries, but one can only access all seventeen of these, if one has all four variations of the Flower Shop.

Any service provided by a shop can only be provided once per day, unless the shop's rank goes up, in which case it will refresh. Changing the DS's clock will delay a shop's reopening for several days, presumably to prevent players from abusing the feature.

Raffle Shop

Visitor wanting to open a Raffle Shop:

"I would want to make everyone excited."

Provides a free, daily raffle as its only service, where the player wins a random prize. The chance of getting a greater prize increases with the rank of the shop.

There are no service variations between Raffle Shops.
