Pokemon's best locales #5: Pyrite Town

Pokemon is such a happy and colourful game with many happy memories to take from places such as Pallet Town, Petaburg City, Goldenrod City and New Bark Town. All such wonderful and happy places to go with happy people to talk to and things to do with nice old women and children and...




What is this? WHAT IS THIS!?!/ A Shanty town in Pokemon? Pyrite Town is the strangest place to go to in Pokemon pretty much ever. When you arrive, you're greeted with a dark tune and gritty character designs. These are basically thugs, criminals and although this isn't new to the Pokemon lore with such foes as Team Rocket and Plasma, but these ones are nowhere near as colourful. Pyrite Town is like a Pokemon Redfern. This town also involves corruption, kidnapping (of Pokemon) and even a form of Gambling. Whoa man, gotta catch em all? A strange change of tone from the other Pokemon games makes Pyrite Town one of the best Pokemon Locales ever.
