Pallet Town (Pokémon Red)

Pallet Town is the town in which players begin their journey. It is the first town in the Kanto region, and is the player's and Rival Blue's hometown. The Pokémon Lab is also located here. This is where the player and rival get their first Pokémon. The player can choose one of the three Kanto Starter Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. The player's rival will always choose the Starter Pokémon that has an advantage over the player's Starter Pokémon (e.g. if the player chooses Charmander, his or her rival would choose Squirtle). There is no Pokémon Center in this town, like all other hometowns in the Pokémon series, but the player's mother can heal the player's Pokémon.
