Twinleaf Town
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
A small town with the fresh scent of new leaves in the air. It feels like a place where adventures start. Your own home and your best friend's house are located here.
Twinleaf Town (Japanese: フタバタウンFutaba Town) is situated in the southwestern part of the Sinnohregion. It is here that the protagonist of the Generation IV games Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, and several other notable trainers begin their Pokémon journeys. Twinleaf is the hometown of the player 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, if the player can surf to reach it.
This 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 of 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:

Rival's House
This is the house where the player's rival and his mother reside in. Like the player's house, there are two levels, the first being a living room and kitchen area, while upstairs on the second level is the rival's bedroom.
Demographics
Twinleaf Town has a population of 8, not counting the player or the rival, making it the least populated area in Sinnoh.
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.
Trivia
Twinleaf's Japanese motto is わかばが いぶく ばしょ.
Twinleaf Town is the only hometown of the player in the main Pokémon games in which a Professor doesn't live.
In Pokémon Platinum, footprints can be seen after walking on the snow, but bicycle tracks cannot.
Despite the player's and the rival's house having two chimneys, neither of the houses have a fireplace.
The roads of this town form the kanji 土, "earth".
