Pokémon world locations

Join Avenue (Japanese: ジョインアベニュー Join Avenue) is a building introduced in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. It is located between Route 4 and Nimbasa City, replacing Nimbasa Gate which was previously there. The avenue features exclamations akin to those appearing in the streets of Castelia City.

Initially, the avenue is mostly empty, as the player is assigned by the owner to develop it. Due to this, much of the avenue's content can be customized to the player's liking, including its shops, which provide various services relevant to Trainers.

Visitors

The entrance to Join Avenue in Black 2.

The visitors strolling down the avenue are key to its development. It is by engaging these that shops can be opened and visited.

A set amount of strolling NPCs, known as the player's fans (Japanese: ファン fan), will arrive at the avenue each day. This amount is determined by the avenue's rank and the player's game progression. After the player has entered the Hall of Fame, Gym Leaders will occasionally arrive among these, as a bonus. The avenue can hold no more than twelve visiting NPC fans at a time. Consequently, no NPC fans will arrive on a day on which this limit has already been reached, even if the player subsequently makes room. This also means that any amount of arriving NPC fans that would have otherwise exceeded the limit will be capped.

Additionally, other players of Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 will visit the avenue when they are registered by the game. This is done through any means of connecting two players' games, such as the C-Gear's Tag Log, battles, trades, and interaction between Pokémon Dream World accounts. A visiting player's overworld appearance will be the Trainer class that player selected on their Trainer Card. Their dialogue will be based on their customized avenue dialogue (if applicable; otherwise Passerby Analytics responses will be used, if possible) and on various information from the player's game file. To get a player to visit again, their game must be registered again after at least a day has passed.

Opening shops

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Determine which variation of each shop Janus opens

In order to open a shop, the player must invite a visitor to do so, which will make him or her a resident running a shop of his or her preferred type and personal variation, if applicable. The avenue can contain a maximum of eight shops at a time. After this limit is reached, the player must choose an existing shop to be replaced if they wish to open a new shop.

With the exception of the first visitor, Janus, the NPC fans' shop type preferences and shop variations are the same for all games, presented in the table below. The shop type preferences and shop variations of multiplayer representations vary from player to player, but are static and will not vary with the game of the visited avenue. Gym Leaders cannot be invited to open shops.

Some shops have different varieties, referred to in this article as A, B, C, and D.

Recommending shops

Instead of inviting a visitor to open a shop, the player can also choose to recommend a visitor to visit one of the avenue's established shops, after which they will leave. Successful recommendations result in popularity point gains for the recommended shops and the avenue itself, which determine their respective ranks.

Unlike when inviting visitors to open shops, the shops a visitor wants to visit are not always limited to one type and vary from visit to visit. Before recommending, visitors will indicate what kind of shop they would like to visit by uttering one of the phrases listed below. By answering multiple-choice questions concerning personal information and preferences, the player can unlock additional visitor phrases, which are not present in the table.

Sometimes, visitors will be persuaded by shop owners to visit shops beyond the one initially recommended, starting a chain which increases the popularity of each visited shop, until the visitor is dissatisfied, declining with "Next time." A visitor's satisfaction with subsequently visited shops is unrelated to his or her uttered visitor phrase. During a chain, the popularity point value will increase by 25% of its original value for each shop. However, the avenue itself will not receive popularity points for each shop visited, receiving only the amount yielded to the final shop.

Souvenirs

When engaged, visitors frequently greet the player with one of the souvenir item listed below. As the avenue's rank increases, it is possible to get more valuable items.

Rank

The avenue and all of its individual shops each have their own rank, all starting at Rank 1. To reach the next rank, the required amount of popularity points must be gained by recommending shops to visitors. Upon reaching a new avenue rank or shop rank, the amount of popularity points required to reach the next rank will always be at its maximum, ignoring any popularity point gain exceeding the previous requirement. For example, if the avenue needs 20 points to reach the next rank, there is no difference between an increase of 20 points or 1000 points.

Avenue rank

For each rank higher than Rank 1, the prices of the avenue's shops' items and services are decreased by one percent, capping at a 40% discount.

As the avenue's rank increases, NPCs will start residing in the player's office and on the avenue. These will ask the player multiple-choice questions concerning preferences. The answers given will be used to determine various outcomes when players interact on each others' avenues. One of these NPCs, namely the man residing in the player's office wearing a black suit and shades, does not follow this pattern, and will instead provide some information about the current shop owners in the player's avenue - this applies only to the multiplayer representations owning a shop, as the man will have no information about regular NPC fans. He will not have as much information about players of Black and White as he will have about players of Black 2 and White 2.

Upon reaching Rank 20, the owner of the avenue will appear in the player's office, after which a sequence follows in which the player and his or her four assistants walk down the avenue, greeting all of the shop owners, displaying various information about the avenue's current status, as they are cheered on. This feature has its own background music, ジョインアベニューであいさつ! Join Avenue Salutation!

The owner of the avenue will reward the player with an item for every rank increase after Rank 20, as presented in the table below.

Rewards
Item		Rank
	Stardust	21-29
	Rare Candy	30
	Stardust	31-39
	Rare Candy	40
	Stardust	41-49
	Rare Candy	50
	Star Piece	51-59

	Star Piece	71-79
	Rare Candy	80
	Star Piece	81-89
	Rare Candy	90
	Star Piece	91-99
	Comet Shard	100

The amount of popularity points required to reach the various avenue ranks are as follows.

The ranks that unlock features described elsewhere in the article are listed below.

When the avenue reaches certain ranks, new reputations will start spreading, as listed below.

Assistants

Avenue rank also determines the amount of assistants residing in the player's office, and which services they provide.

• Assistant No. 1

"Leave registration to me!"

Can check avenue status, change the player's avenue title, and change various avenue dialogue parts. After reaching Rank 10, this assistant can also change avenue name (under usual restrictions). After reaching Rank 20, the greeting feature can be reactivated at any time by talking to this assistant.

Jacci (Japanese: イチミ Ichimi) holds this position by default, residing in the player's office from the start.

• Assistant No. 2

"Ask me about shops!"

Can tell a perfect shop for the player, letting the player choose from a list of different types of shops. The length of this list increases with the avenue's rank, ultimately containing all eight shop types.

Future (Japanese: ミライ Mirai) holds this position by default, residing in the player's office from the start.

• Assistant No. 3

"Let me organize everything!"

Can move the player's Pokémon in the Pokémon Storage System, show various Record Rankings about the player and the players whose multiplayer representations reside in the avenue, change the roles of assistants, and change the physical order of shops in the avenue. After reaching Rank 6, this assistant can also change the appearance of the avenue's neon arch between four styles: Star Orange, Aurora Purple, Cloud Light Blue, and Stone Green.

Gardner (Japanese: パソキチ Pasokichi) holds this position by default, arriving as a reward for reaching avenue Rank 2.

• Assistant No. 4

"Leave Pokémon healing to me!"

Can heal the player's Pokémon.

Elethia (Japanese: チユ Chiyu) holds this position by default, arriving as a reward for reaching Rank 4.

After reaching Rank 8, the default assistants can be replaced by visiting multiplayer representations that the player is able to recruit.

Shop rank

The rank of a shop determines the services it provides. The maximum rank a shop can reach is Rank 10, after which it will stop receiving popularity points, although it can still be recommended to visitors, contributing with popularity points to the avenue rank. Any service provided by a shop can only be provided once per day, unless the shop's rank goes up, in which case it will refresh.

Whenever all eight shops on a player's avenue have reached Rank 10, the shop owners decide to run a special promotion, which lasts for seven days. During a promotion, all services are discounted beyond the usual avenue rank-based discount, making it possible to break the 40% discount cap during such a period. Raffle Shops, which are free and thus cannot be discounted, give the player two chances instead of one during promotions. The sale may be repeated by replacing at least one shop in the avenue and then upgrading the new shop(s) to Rank 10.

All shops change appearance and name when reaching Rank 4, and again at Rank 8, as presented in the table below. The final shop designs do not include counters, meaning that the player can interact directly with the owners of shops that have reached Rank 8.

The amount of popularity points required to reach the various shop ranks are as follows.

Shops

There are eight different types of avenue shops that offer different kinds of services: Raffle Shops, Beauty Salons, Dojos, Markets, Flower Shops, Antique Shops, Cafés, and Nurseries. Some of these types also have up to four different variations on their precise offerings based on their owner. These variations are referred to as A, B, C, and D in this article.

Raffle Shop

Visitor wanting to open a Raffle Shop:

"I would want to make everyone excited."

A Raffle Shop (Japanese: くじびきや Lottery Shop) provides a free, daily raffle as its only service, in which the player wins a random prize. The prize is altered when triggered, so when the game is saved directly before entering the raffle the player will get the same prize every time they enter. The chance of getting a greater prize increases with the rank of the shop.

The services provided by Raffle Shops do not vary with the shop owner.

Prizes

Beauty Salon

Visitor wanting to open a Beauty Salon:

"I would want to make people's Pokémon more beautiful."

Dojo

Visitor wanting to open a Dojo:

"I would want to train people's Pokémon and make them strong."
