In the anime
Ash and May arrived in Oldale Town in A Ruin with a View, where May dropped off her weakened Torchic, who had a bad confrontation with a family of Azurill, Marill and Azumarill, at a Pokémon Center. Later, they met up with Professor Alden who was studying the nearby Oldale Ruins. They had a small confrontation with Team Magma, who wanted to explore the ruins for themselves, but they didn't find anything in the ruins and escaped. After that, Ash and May left Oldale and set foot for Petalburg City.
Trivia
- Oldale's Japanese motto is なにかが かすかに はじまる ところ "Where things start off scarce".
- A glitch involving the PokéMart worker exists in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. If the player has not yet received the Potion from the worker and speaks to him with a full bag of items, the worker will remain in front of the PokéMart at the end of the tutorial, despite not giving the player a Potion. Leaving Oldale Town to Route 103 then returning and speaking to the worker will cause the tutorial to reactivate. This causes both the worker and the player to walk through the building and into the trees on the north edge of town.
