Pallet Town
Pallet Town (Japanese: マサラタウン Masara Town) is where players of Generation I games, as well as several other notable trainers, start their Pokémon journeys in Kanto. It is based on Machida, Tokyo, Satoshi Tajiri's hometown; but its location on the map better corresponds to somewhere in the Shizuoka Prefecture.
The town in the video games is located in western Kanto, nestled between Route 1 to the north and Route 21, a water route, to the south.

In the northeast corner of town is Professor Oak's Lab. Here, Pokémon trainers just beginning their quest can receive either a Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle from Professor Oak. The exception to this was for Ash Ketchum, who got Pikachu from Oak because he woke up late the day he was supposed to get his Trainer's License.
