Littleroot Town is one of the the sixteen cities of Hoenn, the land in which the games Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald take place. The town's motto is "A Town That Can't Be Shaded Any Hue."
The only exit of the town is north, which leads to Route 101 and Oldale Town beyond.
In the Pokémon anime, this is the hometown of Harrison. It is also the hometown of Ruby and Sapphire in the Pokémon Special manga.
Also, in Get the Show on the Road!, it is where Ash meets May and Professor Birch for the first time.
Unlike previous Pokémon games, in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player does not receive their starter Pokémon within the town itself, instead doing so upon rescuing Professor Birch on Route 101.

Demographics
Littleroot Town's population is 8 (excluding the main character, who lives, but does not often reside, there). This means that it is the smallest town in Hoenn.
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 very lacking in any but one color so as to preserve the palette.
- Littleroot Town is unique among all towns that the player starts in. While all of them lack long grass, Littleroot is the only one without an area in which the player can fish.
Name origin
Littleroot is a compound word formed from little, referring to its size, and roots, referring to the fact that the families of both the player and his/her alternate-gender counterpart live here.
