Trivia

  • LaRousse City is also the hometown of May's rival, Drew.
  • This is the second time a movie-made city was based on a real city outside of Japan.
  • LaRousse City was one of the first movie settings to feature a highly-efficient, eco-friendly city. This is now a recurring theme in the Pokémon franchise. It is implied in the seventh movie that the city relies heavily on wind turbines and other alternative energy sources, which create a healthy, non-polluting environment.

Origin

LaRousse is based on Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
