What town/city from the Pokemon games is the most like the town/city you live in?

i don’t think any of them have enough parking lots to be like my city, though i’ll admit i haven’t played all, or even most, of the games.

I’d guess Curitiba is Lavender Town? Deceptively smaller or bigger than it looks like. And perhaps partially due to Trevisan’s tales, it looks kind of creepy at night, specially in the “outer” neighbourhoods. Past-COVID that applies to that imploding shithole of a downtown. The anime also makes Lavender rather foggy.

Well, Pokemon was sorta after my time, so I didn’t get into it until Pokemon Go - making that one my most played Pokemon game by a huge margin.

So my answer to OPs question is my actual city.

Circhester in Sw/Sh, but that’s because it is based off the city I live in of Bath, England.

It’s surreal walking around it in game.

Malie city, as it’s based off where I live. I play Pokemon go in Liliuokalani park (the real life malie gardens) all the time.

Olivine city! I love coastal towns and that laid-back johto lifestyle would suit me so well. You’ve got cianwood relatively close by, and the S.S Aqua, if I wanted to go to kanto!

1 month later, and I realise I didn’t read that question correctly…

None of them. Because I don’t see Pokémon walking the streets of my city.

Also, because none of the urban environments in Pokémon are anything like actual cities.
