Location
Location of Pacifidlog Town in Hoenn.
|
Pacifidlog Town (Japanese: キナギタウン Kinagi Town) is a town located in the seas south of the mainland of the Hoenn region.
Pacifidlog Town is a small town built on wooden rafts and logs that float on top of a Corsola colony. The people living in Pacifidlog Town all fish and dive as part of their lifestyle. The ancestors of these people were said to have been born on boats, and lived and died aboard them. According to legend, they lived that way because they were searching for something.
There is also a legend in Pacifidlog Town of a flying Dragon Pokémon that never needs to rest. This could refer to Rayquaza. There is also a legend of three sealed-away Pokémon that represent the powers of Ice, Rock, and Steel, which refers to the legendary giants, Regice, Regirock, and Registeel.
The town is located east of Slateport and the Sealed Chamber, and west of the Sky Pillar.
In the Generation III games, the player cannot run or ride a Bicycle in Pacifidlog Town.
Slogan
Where the morning sun smiles upon the waters. (Japanese: あさひが みずべを てらす まち The town where the morning sun shines upon the waters.)
Places of interest
Mirage Island man
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, an old man can be found living on the east side of Pacifidlog Town. He is seen looking out for Mirage Island and will shout out in excitement on days that it appears. Every day, the game generates a random number between 0 and 65535. If this number matches the personality value of any of the Pokémon in the player's party, Mirage Island will be accessible that day.
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the old man instead tells the player about Mirage spots.
Pokémon Fan Club Chairman's sibling
The Pokémon Fan Club Chairman's younger brother lives in a house on the west side of the town. He will give out one of two possible TMs every seven days depending on the friendship of the player's Pokémon. If the first Pokémon in the party's friendship is high (above 150), he will give the player TM27 (Return); if it is low (below 50), he will give the player TM21 (Frustration). If the Pokémon's friendship is neutral, he will not give any TM, but the player may still receive a TM by showing him a different Pokémon.
In-game trade
Located south of the Pokémon Center, there is a woman who will trade a Corsola for a Bellossom in Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. In Emerald, a man will trade a Horsea for a Bagon.
Move Tutor
In Pokémon Emerald, inside the Pokémon Center, there is a tutor who will teach a compatible Pokémon Explosion one time only.
Demographics
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pacifidlog Town's population in the games is only 20, a low number by Hoenn standards. This may be attributable to its remote location.
Pokémon Emerald
In Pokémon Emerald, Pacifidlog Town has a total population of 21.
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Pacifidlog Town has a total population of 18.

Main series
Pacifidlog Town in the anime
In the anime, Pacifidlog Town was shown to be located on a regular island known as Pacifidlog Island, instead of a town built on wooden rafts. Like many other towns in the Hoenn region, it is home to a Contest Hall.
Ash and his friends were due to arrive in Pacifidlog in Date Expectations, but due to engine troubles, their arrival was delayed, so they instead spent time on neighboring Donto Island. They resumed their trip to Pacifidlog after Carlos fixed the boat's motor and officially arrived in Pacifidlog Town in Mean With Envy, where they encountered local Pokémon Coordinators Erica and Joshua. Erica, who was expecting to win the Pacifidlog Contest together with her boyfriend Joshua, engaged in a rivalry with May after she saw her chatting with him. Later on, the three young Coordinators, as well as a disguised Jessie, entered the Pacifidlog Convention in hopes of getting the coveted Pacifidlog Ribbon. The four contestants were able to impress the judges during the Appeals Round and advance to the Battle Round, which took place in the following episode.
The first match of the second round put Jessie against Erica. The battle ended rather quickly as Jessie was disqualified for cheating, giving Erica a free pass to the finals. The battle between May and Joshua, on the other hand, was a hard fought one, eventually ending with an explosion caused by the clash of May's Skitty's Blizzard and Joshua's Houndoom's Flamethrower. Having won this battle, May advanced to the final round, where she faced Erica. She initially had trouble dealing with Jynx's Psychic attack, but stuck to her strategy of repeatedly using Assist, until she got the desired result and landed a super effective Fire Spin on Jynx. This victory gave May her fifth Contest Ribbon, allowing her to enter the Hoenn Grand Festival.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
In Talk About Timing, Treecko, Wally was revealed to have traveled to Pacifidlog Town to obtain a more effective cure for his health problems. He had been informed of the place by the old man, named (Japanese: ゲムじーさん Mr. Gemu), who was searching for Mirage Island. After Kyogre and Groudon were awakened and started creating natural disasters all across Hoenn, both Wally and the old man evacuated the unstable floating settlement using two lifeboats.
Trivia
- There is a possibility that Pacifidlog's concept was inspired by the Pokédex entry for Corsola in Pokémon Silver, which states that, in a south sea nation, the people live in communities that are built on groups of these Pokémon.
- In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when played in English, the old man in the southeastern house says "One does not simply walk into a Mirage spot." This is a reference to the line "One does not simply walk into Mordor," from the film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. This can also be taken literally since the Mirage spots are accessed by soaring in the sky instead of walking.
- When spoken to, a boy in the northwestern house will ask "Where did you come from?" but provides a dialog box that only allows "Yes" or "No" as answers, triggering the following responses:
- "Yes? Yes Town? I've never heard of a place like that."
- "No? That doesn't make any sense. You have to come from somewhere. Oh! Wait! You're not going to say you were born at the bottom of the sea?"
- This is an inside joke among Game Freak's development staff. The Japanese name of "Yes Town", ハイタウン (Hai Town or High Town), was the name of an apartment building where the staff would stay while they were working on Pokémon Red and Green.[1]
- Pacifidlog Town is infamous for being an easy place to softlock the game at in the original Generation III games. If the player has only one Pokémon in their possession that cannot know Fly or Surf (aside from ones left in the daycare), has thrown away all of their items and money, and is in Pacifidlog Town with the Pacifidlog Pokémon Center as the last visited, then there is no way to escape.
