Demographics

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

InPokémon Ruby and Sapphire andPokémon Emerald, the population of Mauville City is 39. This number means it is a medium-sizedHoenn city.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

InOmega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, including the Trainers in the Food Court, Mauville City has a total population of 148, making it the largest city in Hoenn and the fifth-largest city in thePokémon world, followingMesagoza,Lumiose,Wyndon, andNimbasa, and precedingCastelia.

Geography

Mauville is a large city, located in-between four different routes. The roads of the town stretch north toRoute 111, west toRoute 117 andVerdanturf Town, east to a beach onRoute 118, and south toRoute 110.

Wattson is theGym Leader and founder of Mauville. InGeneration III, he originally had plans to do a complete overhaul of the town, but abandoned them. InGeneration VI, Wattson instead managed to redevelop it, modeling the design on that ofLumiose City ofKalos. Due to this, its layout has changed dramatically, becoming a mostly-indoor city with various shops and three floors. The redevelopment of Mauville is the only successful project ofGreater Mauville Holdings.

Old guys

Main article:Old guys

In the Mauville Pokémon Center, a quintet of characters known as the old guys can be found. InGeneration III, they will all appear in the Pokémon Center depending on the player'sTrainer ID number, though a different one can appear if they mix records with another player that has a different man in their game.

InGeneration VI, the Old guys will give the player variousO-Powers. Only Giddy initially appears in the Pokémon Center, and after being interacted with twice, he will leave. Other old guys will only appear or give the player their second set of O-Powers after the player has reached specific points in the storyline. If one of the men leaves, the next will not appear until the player has reached the point in the storyline where they can receive the next O-Power; if the player obtains the first O-Power from one old guy but is not yet far enough in the game to obtain the second from him, the current old guy will remain in the Pokémon Center.

After the Storyteller has left the Pokémon Center for their shared apartment in Mauville Hills (Apartment 3), when the player visits all five in their apartment, the Storyteller will mention that they are looking for someone to pass their powers to; the player tells him about the powerless man living across the hall, at which point the Storyteller requests that the player lead the powerless man to them. If the player does so, they will each give him their power (disappearing after doing so), turning the powerless man into Mr. Bonding. Mr. Bonding will give the player the final O-Power, Hatching Power, and leave.

InGeneration III, theHM06 (Rock Smash) is given by a character in a house at the south of the city.

InPokémon Ruby and Sapphire, this character is unidentified. InPokémon Emerald only, he is known as Rock Smash Guy (Japanese: いわくだきオヤジRock Smash Old Man), but he prefers to be called Rock Smash Dude (Japanese: いわくだきにいさんRock Smash Young Man).

In the English version of Pokémon Emerald, there is also a non-player character onRoute 111 who claims that this HM is obtained from his uncle. This also applies to the German, French, Italian, and Spanish versions, which were translated from English. However, in the Japanese version, he simply refers to the Rock Smash Guy using the word 「オヤジ」, which can mean either "old man" or "father".

He is also mentioned (as Rock Smash Guy) byBrendan orMay in theMatch Call.

Here are his names in other languages:

• French:

  Current name: Type Éclate-Roc (Rock Smash Guy)

  Preferred name: Mec Éclate-Roc (Rock Smash Dude)

• German:

  Current name: Zertrümmerer (Rock Smash)

Ruby & Sapphire arc

Mauville City appeared inI'm Your Biggest Fan, Donphan, whereSapphire arrived in the outskirts of the city onRoute 110. There, she metWattson and theTrick Master, and accidentally found the secret entrance toNew Mauville. InPlugging Past Electrike I, the Trick Master revealed that Mauville City was facing a problem with the overpopulation of children, but with the rediscovery of New Mauville, which the Trick Master's ancestor had built as a giant underground amusement park, that problem was solved. As thanks for solving the city's overpopulation problem, Wattson gave Sapphire aDynamo Badge.

During the weather crisis caused byGroudon andKyogre, the citizens of Mauville sought shelter in New Mauville.

Trivia

• "Mauville" is the French name ofViolet City.
  • The city's French name "Lavandia" is the same as the German name ofLavender Town.
  • Additionally, the city shares its name with Lavender Town in Korean.
• A smallglitch occurs inPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. If the player obtains the Mach Bike or Acro Bike before battlingWally, leaves the city, gets on the bicycle, then re-enters and battles him, the bicycle music will start playing after Wally's theme ends instead of the town's usual background music.
