Location
Location of Oldale Town in Hoenn.
|
Oldale Town (Japanese: コトキタウン Kotoki Town) is located in southwestern Hoenn. As Kyushu coincides with Hoenn, Oldale approximates with Saga City, Saga Prefecture.
South of Oldale Town is Route 101 and Littleroot Town. North is Route 103, which can be Surfed to use as a shortcut to Slateport City. West is Route 102 and Petalburg beyond.
There is little of interest in Oldale Town in the Pokémon games; the simple town serves as a checkpoint for Pokémon Trainers traveling between Littleroot Town and Petalburg City.
The main character's rival in Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire (Brendan or May depending on the player's selected gender) trains to the north of Oldale Town when the games begin.
Slogan
Where things start off scarce. (Japanese: なにかが かすかに はじまる ところ Where things start off scarce.)
Places of interest
Tracking scientist
The way to Route 102 is blocked by a researcher upon the player's first visit to Oldale Town. The scientist is sketching what he believes are footprints from rare Pokémon. Until he is done, west is a no-go. This is to ensure that players challenges his/her rival on Route 103 and receives a Pokédex from Professor Birch before they continue with their journey. When the player returns, the researcher sheepishly stands aside, after concluding that it was his own footprints all along.
Poké Mart representative
On the player's first visit, a Poké Mart worker will stand next to the house on the bottom-right. When talked to, he will lead the player to the town's Poké Mart, and give away a free Potion.
Demographics
Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald
The population of Oldale Town is 16, making it the second-smallest town in Hoenn, with Littleroot Town being the smallest.
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Oldale Town has a total population of 14.
Poké Mart

Appearance
In the anime
Ash and May arrived in Oldale Town in A Ruin with a View. There, May dropped off her weakened Torchic, who had a bad confrontation with a family of Azurill, Marill, and Azumarill earlier, at a Pokémon Center. Later, they met up with Professor Alden who was studying the nearby Oldale Ruins. They had a small confrontation with Team Magma, who wanted to explore the ruins for themselves, but they didn't find anything in the ruins and escaped. After that, Ash and May left Oldale and set foot for Petalburg City.
Ash and his friends arrived in Oldale Town via ship in The Scheme Team, following Ash's participation in the Ever Grande Conference. While none of the town was featured, the group picnicked in a grassy area. Afterwards, they went their separate ways, with Max and May returning to the Petalburg Gym, while Ash and Brock went to Littleroot Town's port, where they took a ship to the Kanto region.
