===The First Decision: The Starter Pokémon===
===Tourist Spot: Driftveil City===
* The '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: はじめてのポケモン Beginning Pokémon or さいしょのポケモン first Pokémon) is the first Pokémon a new {{pkmn|Trainer}} receives at the beginning of his or her journey.  
* '''Driftveil City''' (Japanese: '''ホドモエシティ''' ''Hodomoe City'') is a major ocean port city in western [[Unova]]. It has strong wind currents popular with sailboaters. More importantly, its ports are used by freighters and fishing boats that import and export goods such as vegetables in and out of Unova.
* Starter Pokémon are typically provided by the region {{pkmn|Professor|professors}}, such as [[Professor Oak]] and [[Professor Birch]].
* It has a large market that has many useful items. The [[Cold Storage]] is to the south of this City. There are two possible exits from this city; {{rt|6|Unova}} to the west and the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] to the east which leads to Unova's central peninsula..
* Trainers can typically select from three Pokémon. As of Generation V, the main starters have all consisted of {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}} and {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* [[Charles]] can be found here. In the games, he teaches the player about [[Rotation Battle|Rotation]]{{sup|Bl}} and [[Triple Battle]]s{{sup|W}}. There is also a [[trade]] that can be made, the player can trade a {{p|Minccino}} for a Red-Striped{{sup|Bl}}/Blue-Striped{{sup|W}} {{p|Basculin}}.
* {{game|Yellow}} has players start off with a {{p|Pikachu}}, designed to emulate {{Ash}} getting {{AP|Pikachu}} as his starter.
* The [[Driftveil Gym]] is located here. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Clay]] who gives out the {{badge|Quake}} to trainers who defeat him.
* In the anime, Starter Pokémon are hatched and cared for in secret breeding grounds prior to being given to Trainers.
* Driftveil City made its anime debut in ''[[BW057|The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!]]'' where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met Charles and his {{p|Accelgor}}. Ash attempted to challenge the Gym Leader, Clay, in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! (Part 1)]]'' but was denied unless he did him a favor. Ash finally battled Clay in ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!!]]'' where Clay proved to be a tough opponent.
* [[Junichi Masuda]] mentioned in an interview in 2009 that when formulating new Pokémon for a region, the starter Pokémon get the most work put into.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2|s}}, several strange craters have appeared throughout the city.
