Twinleaf Town (Japanese: フタバタウン Futaba Town) is situated in the southwestern part of the Sinnoh region. It is the hometown of the Sinnohan player character and their rival, Barry, and the first town known to the player in the games. It is also the nearest town to Lake Verity, referred to by residents as their local lake. North of the town lies Route 201, a junction which leads to Verity Lakefront to the west, and Sandgem Town to the east.
In the southern borderline of trees of the town sits a small pond where an Odd Keystone can be found, where the player can surf to reach it.
Slogan
Fresh and Free! (Japanese: わかばが いぶく ばしょ Where new leaves breathe.)

Inside the player's house
BDSPThis is the house where the player lives before beginning their journey. The player's mother lives here, and after the player has left town for the first time, going home and talking to her will fully rest/restore all the player's Pokémon, just like a Pokémon Center.
There are two levels to the house, the first being a living room and kitchen area, while upstairs on the second level is the player's bedroom. It contains a Wii controlled with a Wii Remote, connected to a television, and a PC which reads: "Pokémon Basics... People live alongside Pokémon in this world. The people that battle Pokémon are called Pokémon Trainers." Due to the PC no longer having the item storage functionality, Lucas or Dawn's PC only gives hints on how to play the game. A sign on the wall next to the stairs reads:

DPPtRival's house

Pokémon the Series
Twinleaf is the hometown of Dawn, Johanna, Kenny, Barry, and Palmer. Izzy, Cara, and Sayer also live here.
Twinleaf Town first appeared in Following A Maiden's Voyage!, where Dawn left town to go to Professor Rowan's laboratory in Sandgem Town to receive her first partner Pokémon and begin her journey. Her mother Johanna, a former Top Coordinator, offers a course in town for young Coordinators. She has a battlefield behind her house for instructing her students, where she teaches them about the basics of Pokémon Contests, and gives them performance tips and Contest Battle techniques. Noelle is one of her students.
Ash and his friends arrived to Twinleaf Town for the town's annual festival in Strategy Begins at Home!. The group spent four episodes in Twinleaf, where they, together with Barry, participated in the Festival Battle Challenge. Ash eventually won the tournament, thus earning the chance to battle Barry's father and Sinnoh Battle Frontier's Tower Tycoon, Palmer. However, the Frontier Brain proved to be much stronger than him and defeated him. During the festival, Twinleaf was also visited by Professor Oak, who gave a lecture on "the interrelation of Pokémon and Evolution stones" at the town's auditorium.
The town was shown again in Memories are Made of Bliss!, where the group arrived there after resuming their journey through Sinnoh. At the end of the episode, Ash and Brock boarded a ship sailing towards the Kanto region. As observed by Ash, Twinleaf Town is very similar to Pallet Town, having dirt trails and wide, open grass fields. In DPS01, Dawn chose to leave Twinleaf as well and compete in Pokémon Contests in Hoenn.
In The Gates of Warp!, Dawn and Goh visited an alternate universe version of Twinleaf Town, where they met Dawn's alternate world counterpart, who is an accomplished Trainer who had achieved the runner-up placement in the Sinnoh League tournament. The three then headed to Sandgem Town together.

I Choose You!
In I Choose You!, which is set in an alternate continuity from the animated series, Twinleaf Town is the hometown of Verity.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Twinleaf Town is the hometown of Diamond, his mother Johanna, Pearl, and supposedly his father Palmer. According to Rad Rickshaw, koshipikari rice (a portmanteau of koshihikari and pika) can only be found here.
In Stopping Sableye, Diamond returned to Twinleaf Town on his way to protect Mesprit at Lake Verity from Team Galactic. As he stopped by at his home, he found a note left by his mother, informing him that she had left to gather Berries at Lake Verity. Alarmed, Diamond immediately headed to the lake to alert his mother of the impending danger.
Twinleaf Town made a cameo in All About Arceus IX, depicting the beginning of the Diamond & Pearl arc from Johanna's perspective.
Trivia
- In Pokémon Platinum, footprints can be seen after walking on the snow, but bicycle tracks cannot.
- In Pokémon Platinum, a rearranged, music-box version of the background music of Twinleaf Town can be played on the Music Box that can be obtained at the Villa in the Resort Area.
- Despite the player's and the rival's houses having two chimneys, neither of the houses have a fireplace.
- The roads of this town form the kanji 土 (earth, soil).
