Location
File:Slateportmap.PNG
Location of Slateport City in Hoenn.
|
Slateport City (Japanese: カイナシティ Kaina City) is a port town on the southern coast of Hoenn. Its motto is "The Port Where People and Pokémon Cross Paths".
The city has three major entrances, one from the north of Slateport City is Route 110, which has a bicycle route as well as a path to Mauville City, one that is directly south of the city is the beach of Route 109, and one that is east of the city is the ocean path of Route 134, but the water's current is too strong to Surf east.
Slateport was created because the clean water made the food abundant in the area, so a local market started to grow. The city then soon became a harbor where ships and boats come and go. There is a lighthouse near the south of Slateport that illuminates the sea for passing ships. It is a great shopping destination with a local Slateport Market. Captain Stern is a big name in Slateport. He is an undersea explorer who runs Stern's Shipyard, building the local Oceanic Museum and also working on the S.S. Tidal which runs in and out of Slateport City after its completion.
Places of interest
The Slateport Market
The Slateport Market is an open-air bazaar featuring items that can't be easily found anywhere else. The Slateport Markets have been in business since the creation of Slateport City itself as the clean water made the food abundant in the area, so a local market started to grow. The Slateport Markets are situated next to the ocean, so the scent of the salty sea seeps through the air. There is a place to buy Secret Base decorations, vitamins and fresh seaweed there.
Doll Shop
There is a shopkeeper at the Slateport Market in the bottom-left corner that sells Dolls.
TM Shop
There is another shopkeeper at the Slateport Market in the middle-right side that sells TMs. This shopkeeper only appears after the player obtains TM43 (Secret Power) on Route 111.
Energy Guru
After defeating the Elite Four, the Energy Guru will occasionally announce a sale on television, when he will sell everything at half price.
Secret Power Club Shop
Oceanic Museum
- Main article: Oceanic Museum
The Oceanic Museum is a large two-floored museum located in the eastern district of Slateport. The museum was built by Captain Stern to teach others of the ocean and the ocean floor. There is a $50 entrance fee which must be paid as soon as entrance. The first floor contains information about the sea. There are seven exhibits, each with a different piece of information about the sea. On the western wing, there are experiments and displays involving Whirlpools, Waterfalls, buoyancy, and fossilization. While, on the eastern wing, there are displays and samples of ancient beach sand, and old sedimentary rocks, as well as fun facts about the sea. On the second floor, there are nine more exhibits, which include models of the Hoenn region and the ship S.S. Anne. The museum can be entered free of charge before Team Magma or Team Aqua leave, as the reception believes that the player is part of their group. However, it only works if he/she lacks the $50 fee, which will prompt the receptionist to believe that the player is part of either Team Magma or Team Aqua.
Pokémon Fan Club
- Main article: Pokémon Fan Club
Slateport is the home to the headquarters for the Hoenn branch of the Pokémon Fan Club. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and Pokémon Contests than Pokémon battles. The people in the Fan Club adore their Pokémon and give friendly advice. One of the women in the fan club will give away a Soothe Bell if the player's Pokémon has a high happiness. In Emerald, people show off their Pokémon in contests because the Pokémon Contest hall in Lilycove City is too far to travel. The Hoenn Pokémon Fan Club Chairman sits in the center of the club house. He claims to have raised over 100 different Pokémon in his lifetime. He travels across the nation on his Fearow.
Name Rater
- Main article: Name Rater
The Name Rater of Hoenn lives in northern district of Slateport City. As always, he allows trainers to change the nickname of any Pokémon they captured or received in-game. Those traded from outside sources will not be able to be renamed. If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it. If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a trade, he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical trainer IDs and secret IDs, he will allow name changes.
Pokémon Contest
The Hyper Rank Pokémon Contest House is located in Slateport. Only Pokémon who have beaten the Super Rank can perform here. It is replaced by the Battle Tent in Emerald.
Battle Tent
- Main article: Pokémon Battle Tent
The Battle Tent can only be found in Pokémon Emerald. It is one of four Battle Tents found in Emerald. Entrants pick out three Pokémon from a list of 6 random rentals, all at level 30. Then, three Trainers are battled, having a chance after each battle to possibly trade a Pokémon for one from the person that was just defeated.
Beach
The beach is the first section of Slateport City that the player explores and disembarks Mr. Briney's ship here as part of the storyline. There are many Tubers here, hiding under umbrellas and waiting for a battle. In the house on the west side of the beach, a man inside will offer six bottles of Soda Pop once all the Trainers in the room are defeated.
Demographics
The population of Slateport City is 45, making it the third-biggest city in Hoenn, behind Rustboro City and Lilycove City and sixth overall in all regions. Slateport's high population can be attributed to a number of reasons, including its market, beach, and shipyard.

In the anime
In anime, Slateport City is a large city on a cliff overlooking a beautiful beach. Ash and company stop there during Now That's Flower Power! to The Spheal of Approval, May enters her first Pokémon Contest and meets up with her first Pokémon Contest rival, Drew. In The Spheal of Approval, Ash and Max visit the Oceanic Museum and meet Captain Stern, but they are caught in an attack by Team Magma. Slateport City is also the location of the Hoenn Grand Festival in the anime, and it was revisited from Hi Ho Silver Wind! to Rhapsody in Drew.
Trivia
- In the anime, Slateport City is the hometown of one of May's rivals, Harley.
- Whereas Hoenn coincides with Kyushu, Slateport coincides with Nagasaki's location.
- Though the beach that lies south of Slateport appears to be a part of it, the beach shares the same music and is technically a part of Route 109.
