Cities and Towns

Oreburgh City (Japanese: クロガネシティ Kurogane City) is a city located in central Sinnoh. Oreburgh is first accessible via the Oreburgh Gate, which is to the west of the city. This is one of two connecting routes to getting to the City. The other is Route 207, which is north of the city. The Oreburgh Mines is to the south of the city. It is the location of the first Gym in Sinnoh, led by Roark. It is here where trainers receive the Coal Badge, the first badge one can earn in the conquest of the Sinnoh region's Pokémon League.

Oreburgh is a mining town blessed with significant natural resources. Prominent vents throughout the city exchange the stale air from the mines below with the fresh, above-ground air. There is a girl in the city who will trade the elusive Abra for a Machop. Oreburgh is home to the Oreburgh Mining Museum, as well as the Oreburgh Mine. The miners often take breaks in the Gym between the work shifts. Roark lets the citizens of the town train their Pokémon in the mines.

Oreburgh Mining Museum

Main article: Oreburgh Mining Museum

The Oreburgh Mining Museum is a museum located north-east of Oreburgh City. The Oreburgh Mining Museum is a large, one floor museum that contains many visual displays as well as facts about coal and the Oreburgh Mine. There is also a man at the front desk that will revive fossils in the party for free. Unlike other museums, the Oreburgh Mining Museum is free to enter. The Oreburgh Mining Museum primary importance is the resurrection of fossils, which is done with the help of the man near the counter. He will be able to revive these fossils from free but only one at a time. He is very bossy, annoyed when the player comes by too early or late, and gets disappointed when the player doesn't give him a fossil.

Oreburgh Mine

Main article: Oreburgh Mine

The Oreburgh Mine is located at the far south of Oreburgh City. It is run by Roark, who is also the Gym Leader of the city. It is the livelihood of the town. Vents in the town allow steam to escape and fresh air to enter the mine, likely also clearing the mine of any poison gas (which is historically the bane of coal miners). The mine is operated with the utmost care to avoid causing damage to the natural habitats of wild Pokémon. The system of taking coal out of the mine is automated. Roark lets trainers from the town train their Pokémon in the mine. The mine itself extends not only under the town, but the seafloor as well. All of the miners have their own Pokémon, usually Machop, to assist them in the mine.

In-game trade

In a large two story house, north-west of Oreburgh City is a man that wants to trade the player an elusive Abra for a Machop. The Abra will be nicknamed "Kazza", and it will be holding an Oran Berry. The OT will be "Hilary" and its ID will be 25643. The Pokémon's level will be the same as the one that the player traded.

Oreburgh Gym

Roark in the Oreburgh Gym

Main article: Oreburgh Gym

The Oreburgh Gym is the official gym of Oreburgh City. It is based on Rock-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Roark. Trainers who defeat him receive the Coal Badge. The Oreburgh Gym is a narrow building built of stone. Two paths exist, a raised path that avoids the trainers and a middle path that takes challengers straight through the gym. Roark waits on a raised hill at the end of the paths. Although only two trainers actually appear in the Gym, most of the miners in the Oreburgh Mine are also members who relax at the Gym in their free time. After Roark is defeated, he will give the player the Coal Badge, the first badge one can earn in the conquest of the Sinnoh region's Pokémon League, TM76 (Stealth Rock), and the ability to use Rock Smash outside of battle.

Trivia

• Oreburgh's Japanese town motto is エネルギー みなぎるばしょ.
• A boy near the Oreburgh Gate entrance to the town encourages the player to advance in the game to avoid being like a "total noob" in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. He doesn't say this in Pokémon Platinum, though.
