Location of Celestic Town in Sinnoh.

Celestic Town (Japanese: カンナギタウン Kannagi Town) is a town in the region of Sinnoh. It is a tiny town that preserves the history of Sinnoh and the old ways of life, the center of town has a small shrine that dates back to ancient times. It is one of the smallest towns in the entire region. It is also one of the oldest, and some say the town was there since Sinnoh came to be created. It is the hometown of Cynthia's family.

Places of interest

Cynthia's family's house

After Team Galactic is defeated at Mt. Coronet, players can come here to see a picture of the mascot for their game's counterpart version (Dialga for Pearl and Palkia for Diamond) to add to the Pokédex.

Celestic Ruins

Inside a cave, in the center of the town, are etchings telling the legend of Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie. However, in the anime, it was shown to be like actual ruins, with pillars and a temple-like structure. Found inside is a fresco involving the lake guardians. It was somewhat destroyed by Team Galactic's raid on the Research Center in Losing its Lustrous! and Double Team Turnover!.

In Pokémon Platinum, an event is unlocked here after the Stark Mountain storyline is completed. When the painting at the rear of the ruins is examined, Cynthia will appear and give her theory to the painting's meaning.

Cynthia: This cave painting... It's always been described this way. The light in the center represents either DIALGA or PALKIA appearing at the Spear Pillar. The three lights around it were thought to be UXIE, MESPRIT, and AZELF.

May I continue?

But, then, I realized that there may be another way of interpreting this. Could this triangle of lights actually represent a different trio? Could they be DIALGA, PALKIA, and GIRATINA instead? And the large light at their center. Does it represent something else? Could it be what created this world of ours?

May I continue for a little bit longer?

Thank you for listening to my theory. Do you know of the ancient Plates they find all over Sinnoh? One of them had this engraved on it. "Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One." I think this quote, too, points to the presence of another Pokémon. A Pokémon even more powerful than DIALGA or PALKIA. Does that sound plausible to you? I'm not quite sure how GIRATINA fits into this scheme of things, but... It's said that in the Distortion World, neither time nor space were stable. I think that tells us something about GIRATINA, the only Pokémon there. It must have been as powerful as DIALGA and PALKIA, the rulers of time and space. In some way, though, GIRATINA has to have a power opposite of theirs.

I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?

A long time ago, I wonder what sort of person painted this? DIALGA's Roar of Time... PALKIA's Spacial Rend... To the people back then, those Pokémon really must have appeared to rule over time and space. Seeing them must have shaken the people to their very core. This painting represents those feelings of awe, wonder, and everything else. It passed that memory to countless people, eventually becoming a myth... That's what I believe as a researcher of myths.

I think I let myself get carried away and talked for far too long. I'm sorry, and thank you. Let's meet again.

Cynthia then leaves the cave and ends the event.

If the player resonds with "no" when Cynthia asks if she can continue, she will respond with:

I'm so sorry. I let myself get carried away...

Cynthia then leaves the cave and ends the event.

Celestic Town Historical Research Center

Main article: Celestic Town Historical Research Center

The Celestic Town Historical Research Center is an anime-exclusive building that houses rare artifacts such as the Lustrous Orb. The Celestic Ruins is directly behind the building, and this is where the Lustrous Orb was discovered.

Demographics

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

The population of Celestic Town is 22, making it the third least populous town in the Sinnoh region. Most of Cynthia's family lives here.

Shop

There is no Poké Mart in the town, so an elderly couple run a shop out of their house. A man standing in the shop gives away three pairs of glasses to the player depending on the time of day. He gives away Choice Specs in the morning, BlackGlasses during the day, and Wise Glasses at night.
