Nuvema Town


Location
Unova Nuvema Town Map.png
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, Twinleaf Town, Aspertia City and Vaniville 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, the player, Bianca and Cheren, start their journeys, as well as being their hometown. However, it's a normal location in Black 2 and White 2, games in which it has been replaced by Aspertia City.

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 a view of the ocean. Pidove and Woobat can be seen flying around town during the day and night, respectively.

After Alder has been defeated, Bianca will be available to battle the player on weekends. In Black 2 and White 2, she can also be battled with the Memory Link.

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, and promptly challenge the player to a battle. 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.

In Black 2 and White 2, Hilbert/Hilda's mother mistakes Nate/Rosa for her own child, before realizing that they were actually the player. She continues to heal the player's Pokémon as in Black and White, commenting on how she may want to go on a journey to find her child; however, she worries that they would return while she was gone. She does not refer her child by his/her name, unless Memory Link has been established. The PC in the Hilbert/Hilda's room looks as if it has not been used in a long time.

Bianca's house

Bianca's house is located in the southwest of Nuvema Town. Bianca's house is home to her mother and father. Upstairs is Bianca's room which contains a bookshelf lined with Pokémon picture books, a shelf and two cabinets filled with goods, two plants and a desk. Her bed has pink covers and is on a turquoise rug. A window is on the back wall, with a desk in the bottom-right corner.

In Black and White, 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.

In Black 2 and White 2, her mom and dad continue to reside in their house.

Cheren's house

Cheren's house is located in the southeast of Nuvema Town. Cheren's house is home to his mother and father. Cheren's room has five shelves of books, a widescreen TV, a PC with information on how to play the game, a maroon rug in front of the television, and a bed with brown covers in the bottom-right. A sliding window is located above the staircase.

In Black 2 and White 2, his mom and dad continue to reside in their house.

The PC states:

"Adventure Rule No. 1
"The X Button opens the menu!
"Adventure Rule No. 2
"Record your progress with SAVE.
"There is nothing else on here..."

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 in Unova Pokédex; she will give three prizes based on the total number of Pokémon encountered. Cedric Juniper can be found here after the player has entered the Hall of Fame. 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.

In Black 2 and White 2, Cinccino and Watchog are seen instead in the lab.

Demographics

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

Nuvema Town Harbor and Airport Tower

Nuvema Town made its first appearance in In The Shadow of Zekrom!. It is Trip's hometown. Part of it is shown to have a harbor and an airport with an airport tower. Professor Juniper's lab is located here with a variety of Pokémon living there. Nuvema Town also has houses and shops.

Ash, Delia, and Professor Oak arrived by airplane, and were greeted by Professor Juniper. Soon afterwards, Ash left Nuvema Town to begin his journey in Unova.

Ash returned to Nuvema Town along with his friends Iris and Cilan in New Places... Familiar Faces!, from where they departed to the White Ruins, and again in Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!, when they decided to travel to the Kanto region by taking a cruiseship there.
