There are three routes connecting to it: to the south of the city is {{rt|4|Unova}} and the vast [[Desert Resort]], to the west is {{rt|5|Unova}}, and to the east is {{rt|16|Unova}}. Nimbasa City is the most populous city in the Unova region and the second most populous in the Pokémon World, behind [[Kalos]]'s [[Lumiose City]]. In contrast to [[Castelia City]], which is the heart of business and economy in the region, Nimbasa serves as the heart of leisure and entertainment. Nimbasa City is well known for its grand-scale landmarks such as the [[Pokémon Musical|Musical Theater]], [[Battle Subway|Gear Station]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], Battle Institute, and the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel and amusement park. | ||

The Trainer's Japanese names are related to the season they appear in; however, in {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Hiker Natsumi (Andy in English) appears in autumn even though his name contains the Japanese word for summer (Natsu). The English names also occasionally relate to the seasons, with some being directly named after months or containing them (like ''May''a and ''August''ine). Other names are not directly linked to the seasons, but have some relation to them such as Aurora being battleble in autumn like it's real life counterpart and Persephone being named after the Greek goddess who would return to the earth in spring. | ||
After the battle, the Trainer will accompany the player on the wheel. In the Japanese version, the conversations on the Ferris wheel are laced with {{wp|double entendre}}s. In the Japanese versions of Black 2 and White 2, {{tc|Nursery Aide}} Enatsu (June in English) admits to being a man disguised as a woman in order to be a Nursery Aide, but this dialogue is cut from the English games. | After the battle, the Trainer will accompany the player on the wheel.

In {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, after defeating the Elite Four, special non-battelable characters will appear on certain days every week prior to the trainers that would normally be there; with [[Hugh|the player's rival]] appearing on Tuesdays, [[Bianca]] appearing on Wednesdays, N appearing on Fridays and [[Cheren]] appearing on Saturdays. After meeting certain requirements, [[Yancy]]{{tt|*|If the player's gender is male}}/[[Curtis]]{{tt|*|If the player's gender is female}} can be met in front of the Ferris wheel to [[List of in-game trades|trade]] with the player daily. In the occurrence that both Yancy/Curtis and a special character are at the Ferris wheel at the same time, then the former will get priority and will remain there until after being interacted with. The special character will appear afterwards, followed by a standard trainer. | ||

Nimbasa City Gym - Unova Gym #4
| ||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||
Location Location of Nimbasa City in Unova. |
Nimbasa City (Japanese: ライモンシティ Raimon City) is a city located in central Unova. There are three routes connecting to it: to the south of the city is Route 4 and the vast Desert Resort, to the west is Route 5, and to the east is Route 16. Nimbasa City is the most populous city in the Unova region and the second most populous in the Pokémon World, behind Kalos's Lumiose City. In contrast to Castelia City, which is the heart of business and economy in the region, Nimbasa serves as the heart of leisure and entertainment. Nimbasa City is well known for its grand-scale landmarks such as the Musical Theater, Gear Station, Big Stadium and Small Court, Battle Institute, and the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel and amusement park.
Elesa is the Gym Leader of Nimbasa City. She specializes in the Electric type and hands out the Bolt Badge upon defeat.
Places of interest
Musical Theater
The Musical Theater (Japanese: ミュージカルホール Musical Hall) is where the Pokémon Musical takes place, located in the north of Nimbasa. The player meets Bianca here upon their first arrival.
Inside, the owner of the theater will give the player a Prop Case and show them how to dress up their Pokémon.
Gear Station
- Main article: Battle Subway
Gear Station is the central hub of the Battle Subway. All eight lines of the Battle Subway are accessed through Gear Station, including the only available route to Anville Town. The stats judge which can appraise a Pokémon's IVs is located in Gear Station as well.
Big Stadium and Small Court
- Main article: Big Stadium and Small Court
Nimbasa City's sports venues, Big Stadium and Small Court, are where sportspeople and sports fans go to practice and engage in both Pokémon battles and the sport of their choosing. They are also the places where sporting events are hosted in the Unova region. Big Stadium hosts sports requiring fields, specifically baseball, soccer, and football; meanwhile, Small Court hosts sports requiring courts, specifically tennis and basketball.
Trainers may be battled daily at both facilities except during event hours.
Battle Institute
- Main article: Battle Institute
Rondez-View Ferris Wheel
The Rondez-View Ferris Wheel is a couples-only Ferris wheel.
Trainers may be battled here daily; the Trainer varies with the season and the gender of the player. The Trainer's Japanese names are related to the season they appear in; however, in Black 2 and White 2, Hiker Natsumi (Andy in English) appears in autumn even though his name contains the Japanese word for summer (Natsu). The English names also occasionally relate to the seasons, with some being directly named after months or containing them (like Maya and Augustine). Other names are not directly linked to the seasons, but have some relation to them such as Aurora being battleble in autumn like it's real life counterpart and Persephone being named after the Greek goddess who would return to the earth in spring.
After the battle, the Trainer will accompany the player on the wheel. In the Japanese version, the conversations on the Ferris wheel are laced with double entendres. In the Japanese versions of Black 2 and White 2, Nursery Aide Enatsu (June in English) admits to being a man disguised as a woman in order to be a Nursery Aide, but this dialogue is cut from the English games.
In Pokémon Black and White, N is battled here as part of the main storyline. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, after defeating the Elite Four, special non-battelable characters will appear on certain days every week prior to the trainers that would normally be there; with the player's rival appearing on Tuesdays, Bianca appearing on Wednesdays, N appearing on Fridays and Cheren appearing on Saturdays. After meeting certain requirements, Yancy*/Curtis* can be met in front of the Ferris wheel to trade with the player daily. In the occurrence that both Yancy/Curtis and a special character are at the Ferris wheel at the same time, then the former will get priority and will remain there until after being interacted with. The special character will appear afterwards, followed by a standard trainer.
Pokémon Black and White
These Trainers can only be battled after defeating Elesa.

Nimbasa City Gym
- Main article: Nimbasa Gym
The Nimbasa Gym is the official Gym of Nimbasa City, specializing in Electric-type Pokémon. In Pokémon Black and White, it contains a series of roller coasters. In Pokémon Black and White 2, the Gym moved from its original location (which is still explored by the player before visiting the official Gym) and is now a runway for models. The Gym Leader is Elesa, who gives out the Bolt Badge and TM72 (Volt Switch) upon being defeated.
Demographics

In the anime
Nimbasa City was first mentioned in Zoroark: Master of Illusions, when Grings Kodai entered the "Nimbasa Legends" team for the Pokémon Baccer World Cup. However, this team was later found out to be a sham created by himself.
Nimbasa City first appeared at the beginning of Reunion Battles In Nimbasa! for a short time where Team Rocket arrived on a mission and again in Club Battle Finale: A Heroes Outcome! where the trio were riding the ferris wheel. Sometime prior to Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!, the trio started a mission which made it appear that Meowth messed up and was fired, however, it was revealed in Crisis from the Underground Up! that it was a plan to steal the gang's Pokémon.
Nimbasa Town, named after the city, is located on its outskirts.
Nimbasa City appeared again in Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!, along with Elesa. Ash won his Gym battle against her in Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!. Nimbasa City's famous attractions, such as the Ferris Wheel and the sport parks, were extensively featured in Lost at the Stamp Rally!.
In the manga
In the Black & White arc of Pokémon Adventures, Black arrived in Nimbasa City with White. The Pokémon Musical Theater's construction had just been completed when they arrived, and White immediately resumed work on her grand idea, preparing everyone involved for the opening ceremony. After the Nimbasa City Gym Leader Elesa did her bit in the opening ceremony, she led Black towards her Gym for their Gym battle. Black did win his battle with Elesa, and spent the rest of the evening looking for White. White was found by Marshal of the Elite Four, who handed White to Black and excused himself. After taking White to the hospital to recover, Black then heard about what White had been through. After blaming himself for not asking Marshal more about the Servine that was following White, Black met a Baker named Chris, who showed the yet-to-be-opened Battle Subway to Black and White. The next day, White had made the decision to trial the Battle Subway, and after catching her first Pokémon, she bid farewell to Black, but not before Black loaned his Braviary to her, as Black knew that she had to bring three Pokémon with her.
