Anadl Port
Pronounced: a-NA-duhl-port
ヒョウシギ港
A quiet seaside town with sand-dunes and a few houses. Route 1 stretches to the East while the overgrown Route 7 leads West.
The player's hometown, Anadl Port is a humble port town with a relaxed and quiet ambience. There are a few houses made of old stone and painted boats in the port at the South of the town.
There is a short stone walkway that juts out into the sea with a miniature lighthouse at the end.
Upon Leaving their house for the first time, the player sees another young person talking excitedly on the phone, their neighbour and childhood best-friend, Dylan. He hangs up and, noticing the player, explains that the new Pokémon professor is on their way to meet them. She said to meet them at the beginning of Route 1. So the player and Dylan make their way there.
At the beginning of the player's journey, their mum wishes them luck and tells them to be careful because wild Pokémon can be dangerous. She also gives them a notebook which the player can use to record their progress (ie. collect stamps and save the game). If the player returns home, their mum, who is happy to see them, reminds them that they will always have a home with her.
