Eterna City
ハクタイシティ Hakutai City
"History Living"
Eterna City in {{{variable2}}}.
Map description
An old city that shows fading and almost-forgotten vestiges of ancient history. A Gym is indispensable in any town that has many people coming and going. This city is no exception. The Cycle Shop is located here. There is also a big building with a slightly sinister atmosphere. A statue of an ancient Pokémon is prominently and reverently displayed.
Eterna City (Japanese: ハクタイシティHakutai City) is a city in the Sinnohregion; it is an older city, showing the signs of history.
There is a rather large statue of an ancient Pokémon (in Diamond, it is named as Dialga; in Pearl, Palkia; and in Platinum, it is a combination of both) on the east side of town. The statue was once the main center of festivals in the town, although signs of the town's culture and rituals have started to slip away. Of late, both Team Galactic and Cynthia become interested in the statue. After the National Pokédex has been obtained and the player has visited Pal Park, Professor Oak appears in the southernmost house in the city.
Located east of the Poké Mart, Sinnoh's Name Rater can be found here, as well as a person named Norton who will trade a Chatot for a Buizel, and another person who will give away TM67 (Recycle).
Located in the northwest of the city, this is one of the two Team Galactic headquarters. In Pokémon Platinum, the building looks vastly different from its appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. To reach the building, the move Cut must be used on a small tree blocking the entrance.
This Bicycle shop is located just southeast of the Pokémon Center. The player cannot purchase a Bicycle here, but one is instead obtained for free once the store's owner is rescued from the Team Galactic Eterna Building.
Ancient statue
This Pokémon statue is up a little hill to the east of Eterna City. In Diamond and Pearl, the statue has a plate (dependent on the game), while in Pokémon Platinum the plate has been torn off the statue. It was once the centerpiece of many festivals.
A man in the house just south of the statue will tell the player the two inscriptions. In the Team Galactic HQ building in Veilstone City, a report can be found with missing text generated with a machine (indicated by "...") when described by the man in the house. The text extracted by the machine is written in bolded text.
The first one says this: The creation of DIALGA, The giver of time...
In laughter, there is tears...
And, likewise it is with time.
The same time flows on. For it is the blessing of DIALGA.
The second one says this: The birth of PALKIA. The creator of parallel dimensions...
Alive, yet not alive... Everything drifts in space...
To arrive in the same universe. It is the blessing of PALKIA.
Demographics
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Eterna City has 51 residents, not counting Team Galactic, with the majority of the population in buildings on the main street.

class="roundybottom" style="background: #Template:City color light; color: #000000" colspan="14" | A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Trainers
Pokémon Platinum
On certain days, the player can challenge a Trainer who appears in the Pokémon Center. Depending on the game progress, these Trainers will have teams with higher leveled Pokémon upon rematch.
With the museum locked, they began to search for the suspects. The first one to be found was Nando, who was at the museum studying the rich history of the Sinnohregion. Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Gardenia all told Jenny that Nando could not be the thief. However, she had a picture of a Sunflora stealing the Adamant Orb, and since Nando owns a Sunflora, she was certain he was responsible for the theft. The problem was only solved after it was revealed that the Sunflora in the picture was actually Team Rocket's Meowthdressed up as a Sunflora.
In Nightfall? Nightmares!, Johanna announced an upcoming Pokémon Contest in Eterna City. While heading out to see it, Chloe met Dawn, who revealed that she was going to participate in said Contest. In the next episode, Ash and Goh joined them, but the Contest ended up occuring off-screen after the episode had ended.
In Cautious Clefairy, Pearl returned to the city to deliver a package to Rad Rickshaw. In return, Rickshaw helped with Pearl's errand by revealing the reason why Team Galactic held him hostage: his ancestors had been the ones who built the statue in the city. In this canon, the statue is neither Dialga or Palkia but a combination of the two statues (similar to how it appears in the games). Rickshaw also built a tandem bike, using the parts he ordered, in order to help Pearl and himself get to Lake Valor before Team Galactic, as they were planning to blow up one of Sinnoh's three lakes.
In Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost), Diamond and Pearl followed Rotom from the Old Chateau to the city, eventually befriending it. At the end of the round, Giratina created a portal inside the city and attacked it, destroying the statue. As Diamond's Regigigas started fighting against Giratina, Charon, on his quest to capture all the Legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh, sent his newly-caughtHeatran out to fight Regigigas. When Giratina eventually re-entered the portal, Charon chose to abandon the fight, which wasn't even going in his favor anymore, and pursued Giratina into the Distortion World, followed by Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter, who had been observing the events and decided to try finding Cyrus from the other world, where he had disappeared into the at the end of the previous chapter.
In Pokémon Platinum, there is a man in Eterna that states there was another Plate, other than Dialga and Palkia's plate, but he has never seen it. It may be for Giratina.
