Twinleaf Town Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Town
Twinleaf Town is a tiny settlement in the far southwest of Sinnoh and the starting point of the adventure, home to both the player and the rival Barry. The story opens here with a TV report that sends the two friends toward nearby Lake Verity, and the player's mother hands over key travel gear as the journey gets going.
