You just got a letter in the mail from the Pokemon Government (whatever that looks like)

They're giving you a FREE home in whatever town / city in the pokemon world of your choosing
+ 1 million poke dollars to get you started
ANDDD they'll let you decorate it however you want

What city are you moving to?

I'd choose celedon!!! Mostly because it looks like such a beautiful city + that is where Erika's gym is. Maybe she will hire me as a gym trainer. Not to mention the game corner!!

Second place would be goldenrod city! It's by the water so it would be very pretty

The criteria for where I’d live have to be a) near water, b) near forest or mountain, c) a region with Pokemon I love, d) either easy travel or good shopping. I seriously cannot imagine living in a landlocked town without any water nearby so it resulted in the following list of top ten places I would live in Pokemon:

1. Mossdeep, Hoenn (space nerd, plus ocean, plus favorite region)

2. Canalave, Sinnoh (coastal, favorite Pokemon nearby (Lucario), great library)

3. Lilycove, Hoenn (coastal city with good shopping and great pokemon nearby)

4. Anistar, Kalos (coastal, gorgeous city)

5. Fortree, Hoenn (treehouse. Need I say more?)

6. Levincia, Paldea (coastal, good shopping, decent Pokemon, but too loud)

7. Laverre, Kalos (the autumn halloween vibes override my usual preferences)

8. Slateport, Hoenn (coastal, good shopping, lowkey)

9. Sunyshore, Sinnoh (coastal, high tech city, though closed off most of the game)

10. Blackthorn, Johto (the place I, a dragon type trainer, decided I would live when I was a child, so had to make the list despite not meeting most of my requirements)

My #1 has to be Fortree City in Hoenn — just imagine living among the trees and being surrounded by green. Mossdeep City, also in Hoenn, would be another great city in the region that I'd like to live in.

#2 Mossui Town in Kitakami — I hope this is what heaven looks like. This is the rural Japanese vibes that I love in the real world.

#3 would probably be Ecruteak City in the Johto region. Very cool vibes, great autumn foliage.

Other cities or towns I'd like to live in, mostly for aesthetic reasons or abundance of nature:

• Ballonlea, Galar

• Malie City, Alola

• Laverre City, Kalos

• Eterna City, Sinnoh

• Floaroma Town, Sinnoh

I feel like I need to include a city from my favorite region, Unova, but none of them are super exciting to me. Opelucid City would probably be where I'd choose to live there; wouldn't care if it was the futuristic version or past version, both have their charm.

I'd like to live somewhere in eastern Johto — New Bark, Cherrygrove, or Violet. A peaceful area surrounded by nature — meadows and forests. A small house with a big yard where there are wild Hoppips, Sentrets, Pidgeys, and Rattatas would be enough. Oh, yeah.

New Bark and Cherrygrove just sound so idyllic from their names alone. Johto has a lot of great spots.

I think Pewter City would be a pretty neat place to live especially if you're fond of fossil Pokemon.

I love the vibe in Lumiose City- I'd definitely go there. There's a ton of shops and the Wild Zones provide a nice place to interact with nature :).

Plus, there's the Lumiose Museum, where Volo's outfit stands glorious in its case... I'm stealing it and fleeing for a life on the rooftops. Maybe pick up Kamado's outfit on the way. I've always liked that Golduck on it.

Sure, I'd be an outcast, but why not? With the sheer mass of clothing and hairstyles in Lumiose, I'll be a new girl in a day.

There is a reason I made my Pokemon Trainer OC originate from Phenac City and while I don't think the Region will work out in the long run, I loved the water-running aspects of it so much.

So it should be no surprise my pick for actual moving to would be Couriway Town. Could use more fountains alongside the waterfalls though.

Canalave would probably be my runner-up after those.
