Pacifidlog Town (Japanese: キナギタウン Kinagi Town) is one of the the sixteen cities of Hoenn, the land in which the games Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald take place. It is located east of Slateport and the Sealed Chamber and west of the Sky Pillar and Mirage Island. The town's motto is "Where the morning sun smiles upon the waters".
Pacifidlog is a town built on wooden rafts and logs that float on top of a Corsola colony. The folks of Pacifidlog all fish and dive as part of the lifestyle. The ancestors of the people in Pacifidlog Town were said to have been born on boats then lived and died aboard them. According to legend, they lived that way because they were searching for something.
There's a legend in Pacifidlog Town of a flying Dragon Pokémon that never needs to rest. This could refer to Latios, Latias, or Rayquaza. They also tell legends of sealed-away Pokémon that represent the powers of Ice, Rock, and Steel, which refer to Regice, Regirock, and Registeel.
Places of interest
Mirage Island man
An old man living on the east side of Pacifidlog Town, looking out for Mirage Island. The important citizen of Pacifidlog looks for Mirage Island, and will shout out in excitement on days that it appears. Every day, a random number between 0 and 65535 is generated by the game. If this number matches the personality value of any of the Pokémon in the party, Mirage Island will appear in the game.
Pokémon Fan Club Chairman's Sibling
The Pokémon Fan Club Chairman's younger brother lives in the quiet town who's house is located on the west side of the town. He will give out one of two TMs every seven days containing Frustration or Return depending on the Happiness of the party Pokémon. If the first Pokémon of your party's happiness is high, he will give the player TM27 (Return), if it is low, he will give the player TM21 (Frustration).
In-game trade
Located south of the Pokémon Center, there's a woman who will trade a Corsola for a Bellossom. In Pokémon Emerald, a man will trade a Horsea for a Bagon.
Demographics
Pacifidlog Town's population in the games is only 15, a very low number by Hoenn standards. This is obviously because of its highly remote location. In fact, Pacifidlog Town is often overlooked by trainers until after the Elite Four have been beaten.

Trivia
- Pacifidlog Town is one of the few communities of Hoenn that lacks a Poké Mart.
- It is the only town in the series that does not have to be visited or even passed through to advance in the game.
- Because it is built over logs, Pacifidlog Town is one of two towns where bicycles cannot be ridden, though it is the only one in Hoenn. The other is Snowpoint City in Sinnoh.
- It is also the only town in the Pokémon world where it is impossible to run.
- There is a possibility that Pacifidlog is referenced by the Pokédex entry for Corsola in Pokémon Silver, which states "In a south sea nation, the people live in communities that are built on groups of these Pokémon." This may be untrue, however, as it is implied that Hoenn and Johto are part of the same nation, sharing the National Pokédex.
