Location Location of Littleroot Town in Hoenn.

Littleroot Town (Japanese: ミシロタウン Mishiro Town) is located in southwestern Hoenn, the land in which the games Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald take place. Littleroot Town is where players of Generation III games start their Pokémon journeys in Hoenn. Hoenn's region-exclusive professor, Professor Birch, has a laboratory in the town used for research on Pokémon.

The only exit of the town is north, which leads to Route 101 and Oldale Town beyond.

Places of interest

Littleroot Town in Ruby and Sapphire

Professor Birch's Lab

In the southwest corner of town is Professor Birch's Laboratory. Here, Pokémon Trainers just beginning their quest can receive either a Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip from Professor Birch. Instead of obtaining the player's starter Pokémon here, the player must gain it on Route 101 while saving Professor Birch during the storyline. Professor Birch's assistant often looks after the laboratory by himself because Professor Birch likes doing field work instead of being inside his laboratory. Professor Birch's house is also located in the northeast (if player character is male) or northwest (if player character is female).

Player's house

Inside the player's bedroom

This is the house where the player lives before beginning his/her journey. The game begins with him or her moving into Littleroot from the Johto region. The male character lives in the house on the left, while the female character lives in the house on the right. The player's mom lives here, while Norman, the player's father, drops by and stays a while. After the player has left town for the first time, going home and talking to Mom will fully rest/restore all of the player's Pokémon, just like a Pokémon Center.

There are two levels, the first being a living room and kitchen area, while upstairs on the second level is where the player's bedroom is located. It contains a clock that the player must set at the start of the game to keep track of the time, a Nintendo GameCube with a Game Boy Advance hooked up to it as a controller, and a PC to store items and Pokémon. The rug can be decorated with Poké Dolls.

Rival's house

Brendan lives in the house on the left, while May lives in the house on the right. The rival's house is similar to the player's house.

Demographics

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Littleroot Town's population is 8 (excluding the player and the rival). This means that it is the smallest town in Hoenn.

Pokémon

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, no Pokémon can be found or obtained here, as Professor Birch gives the player their starter Pokémon on Route 101. In Pokémon Emerald, Professor Birch hands the player one of the Johto starters after completing the regional Pokédex.

In other media

Littleroot Town seen in the anime

Anime

In the anime, Littleroot Town is first seen in Get the Show on the Road!, it is where Ash meets May and Professor Birch for the first time while trying to save his Pikachu. May, who lives in Petalburg City, comes to get her starter Pokémon, Template:Torchic. It is also the hometown of Harrison.

Littleroot Town in the anime is shown as quite a large town with a couple of tall buildings and towers. The anime also depicts Littleroot Town as having a port, despite being clearly landlocked in the maps of the games.

Trivia

• The town's motto is a reference to how in Red, Blue, and Yellow all the towns were named after colors, and how the games of Generations I and II caused the towns to be shaded in one color so as to preserve the palette.
• The television inside the player's house plays a different program than the others. When walking up to it, it says "There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard.", whereas any other TV in Hoenn will say "MOM/DAD might like this program..........................."
  • The movie playing in the player's house is most likely Big, as it has a famous scene where the main character (played by Tom Hanks) dances on a giant piano keyboard with his boss (played by Robert Loggia).
• As Hoenn coincides with Kyushu, the location of Littleroot coincides with the city of Sasebo.
