==In the anime==
In the anime, Littleroot Town is first seen in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', it is where {{Ash}} meets {{an|May}} and [[Professor Birch]] and [[Joshua (assistant)|Joshua]] for the first time while trying to save his {{AP|Pikachu}}. May, who lives in [[Petalburg City]], comes to get her starter Pokémon, {{TP|May|Torchic}}. It is also the hometown of {{jo|Harrison}}.
Littleroot Town in the anime is shown as quite a large town with a couple of tall buildings and towers. The anime also depicts Littleroot Town as having a port, despite being clearly landlocked in the maps of the games. Professor Birch's laboratory is located in the forested outskirt of Littleroot Town.

Littleroot Town appeared in ''[[PMRS02|I Won't Let You Lead!!]]''. A fishing hole was located there where {{PPM|Red}} and his Pokémon challenged Professor Birch to various contests and lost to them all.
==Trivia==
* Littleroot's Japanese motto is {{tt|どんな いろにも そまらない まち|Donna iro nimo somaranai machi}} ''"A town that can't be shaded any hue"''.
*The town's motto is a reference to how in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} all the towns were named after colors, and how the games of Generations I and II caused the towns to be shaded in one color so as to preserve the palette.
*The [[television]] inside the player's house plays a different program than the others. When walking up to it, it says "There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard.", whereas any other TV in [[Hoenn]] will say "MOM/DAD might like this program..........................."
**The movie playing in the player's house is most likely ''{{wp|Big (film)|Big}}'', as it has a famous scene where the main character (played by {{wp|Tom Hanks}}) dances on a giant piano keyboard with his boss (played by {{wp|Robert Loggia}}).
*As Hoenn coincides with {{wp|Kyushu}}, the location of Littleroot coincides with the city of {{wp|Sasebo, Nagasaki|Sasebo}}.

Bloomingbud Town is located in southwestern Tohjo. It is where Template:Players of the Tohjo-based games start their Pokémon journeys. Tohjo's region-exclusive professor, Professor Maple, has a laboratory in the town that he uses for research on Pokémon.
In the southwest corner of town is Professor Birch's Laboratory. Here, Pokémon Trainers just beginning their quest can receive either a Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip from Professor Birch. Instead of obtaining the player's starter Pokémon here, the player must gain it on Template:Rt while saving Professor Birch during the storyline. Professor Birch's assistant often looks after the laboratory by himself because Professor Birch likes doing field work instead of being inside his laboratory. Professor Birch's house is also located in the northeast (if player character is male) or northwest (if player character is female).
This is the house where the Template:Player lives before beginning his/her journey. The game begins with him or her moving into Littleroot from the Johto region. The male character lives in the house on the left, while the female character lives in the house on the right. The player's mother lives here, while Norman, the player's father, drops by and stays a while. After the player has left town for the first time, going home and talking to his/her mother will fully rest/restore all of the player's Pokémon, just like a Pokémon Center.
There are two levels, the first being a living room and kitchen area, while upstairs on the second level is where the player's bedroom is located. It contains a clock that the player must set at the start of the game to keep track of the time, a Nintendo GameCube with a Game Boy Advance hooked up to it as a controller, and a PC to store items and Template:OBP. The rug can be decorated with Poké Dolls.
Rival's house
Brendan lives in the house on the left, while May lives in the house on the right. The rival's house is similar to the Template:Player's house. As the rival is the son/daughter of Prof. Birch, it is also his residence.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
