Location Location of Nuvema Town in Unova.

Nuvema Town (Japanese: カノコタウン Kanoko Town) is situated in the southeastern part of the Unova region. Like Pallet Town, New Bark Town, Littleroot Town, and Twinleaf Town, Nuvema Town is where the journey begins for the player. It is where the protagonists of the Generation V games Pokémon Black and White start their journeys. It is also the hometown of the player and their friends Bianca and Cheren.

Professor Juniper's laboratory is located here. The town features the same windmills that appear in New Bark Town in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, as well as an overlook by the ocean. Pidove and Woobat can be seen flying around town during the day and night.

Places of interest

Player's house

The player's house lies in the middle of Nuvema Town and is where the player lives before beginning their journey. The player's mother lives here. The player, Bianca, and Cheren get their starter Pokémon from Professor Juniper here at the start of their journeys. There are two stories in the house, the first being a living room and kitchen area, while upstairs on the second story is the player's bedroom. It contains a Wii controlled with a Wii Remote, connected to a television, and a PC, although this PC only includes information on "Pokémon Basics". Looker meets the player here and gives a Super Rod after entering the Hall of Fame for the first time.

Rivals' houses

Bianca and Cheren's houses are located at the bottom of Nuvema Town. Bianca's house is home to her mother and father. When the player first visits her house, her father is shouting at her for going on her journey but she goes on her journey anyway.

Professor Juniper's lab

Professor Juniper's lab in the anime

Professor Juniper's lab lies in the northwest of Nuvema Town; when the player first starts their journey Bianca and Cheren are waiting for the player outside. When the trio go inside Professor Juniper is waiting for them. She lets the player nickname their Pokémon before giving the player a Pokédex. When spoken to, Professor Juniper asks to see the player's Pokédex and count the number of Pokémon seen; she will gives three prizes based on the total number of Pokémon encountered. Cedric Juniper will be here post-game. He provides a count of Pokémon caught against the National Pokédex. After the tutorial on how to catch Pokémon, the Patrat Professor Juniper caught can be seen wandering around the lab.

Demographics

The population of Nuvema Town is 10 (excluding the player, Bianca and Cheren).
