Twinleaf Town (Japanese: フタバタウン Futaba Town) is situated in the southwestern part of the Sinnoh region. It is the hometown of the Sinnohan player character 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, where the player can surf to reach it.
Slogan
Fresh and Free! (Japanese: わかばが いぶく ばしょ Where new leaves breathe.)
Places of interest
Player's house
- Main article: Player's house → Sinnoh
Inside the player's house
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 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:
The X Button
opens the menu!
The player's bedroom is located upstairs. The player begins the game in here
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
Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum
In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Twinleaf Town has a population of 8 (excluding the player and rival), making it the least populated town in Sinnoh.

In the anime
Twinleaf Town in the anime
In the anime, Twinleaf Town is the hometown of Dawn, her mother Johanna, and her childhood friend and rival Kenny; and Barry and his father Palmer. Izzy, Cara, and Sayer also live there. It first appeared in Following A Maiden's Voyage!, where Dawn left town to go to Professor Rowan's laboratory in Sandgem Town to receive her starter Pokémon and begin her journey. Top Coordinator Johanna offers a course in town for young Coordinators. She has a battlefield behind her house for instructing her students, where she teaches them about the basics of Pokémon Contests, and gives them performance tips and Contest Battle techniques. Noelle is one of her students.
Dawn returned for the town's annual festival in Strategy Begins at Home!. The group spent four episodes in Twinleaf, where they, together with Barry, participated in the Festival Battle Challenge. Ash eventually won the tournament, thus earning the chance to battle Palmer, the head of Sinnoh's Battle Tower. However, the Frontier Brain proved to be much stronger than him and defeated him. During the festival, Twinleaf was also visited by Professor Oak, who gave a lecture on "the interrelation of Pokémon and Evolution stones" at the town's auditorium.
The town was shown again in Memories are Made of Bliss!, where the group arrived there after resuming their journey through Sinnoh. At the end of the episode, Ash and Brock boarded a ship sailing towards the Kanto region. As observed by Ash, Twinleaf Town is very similar to Pallet Town, having dirt trails and wide, open grass fields.
In I Choose You!, which is set in an alternate continuity from the main series, Twinleaf Town is the hometown of Verity.

Pokémon Adventures
Twinleaf Town is the hometown of Diamond, Johanna who is Diamond's mother, Pearl, and supposedly Palmer, who is Pearl's father. According to Rad Rickshaw, koshipikari rice (a portmanteau of koshihikari and pika) can only be found here.
The town itself features only once in this chapter, when Diamond returned to collect a new set of clothes from his home, before rushing to Lake Verity to find Johanna.
Twinleaf Town made a cameo at the end of this chapter.
Trivia
- In Pokémon Platinum, footprints can be seen after walking on the snow, but bicycle tracks cannot.
- In Pokémon Platinum, a rearranged, music-box version of the background music of Twinleaf Town can be played on the Music Box that can be obtained at the Villa in the Resort Area.
- Despite the player's and the rival's houses having two chimneys, neither of the houses have a fireplace.
- The roads of this town form the kanji 土 (earth, soil).
- Curiously, an Odd Keystone can be found here. There is no known connection between Twinleaf and Spiritomb.
