"People and Nature in Harmony"
White Forest in {{{variable2}}}.
Map description
A place of nature's bounty, it attracts people who long for nature.
White Forest (Japanese:ホワイトフォレストWhite Forest) is aforest in easternUnova. White Forest is exclusive toPokémon White andPokémon White 2. UnlikeBlack City, White Forest has a variety ofwild Pokémon as well as characters and tasks that do not occur in Pokémon Black. It is located to the east ofRoute 15.
The appearance of White Forest is dependent on the number of people currently residing there. When theplayer enters the forest for the very first time, the total number of residents is determined by the number of days it took the player to reach White Forest. The number of residents can be between 0 (low occupancy) and 10 (maximum occupancy). In addition to visual changes, some wild Pokémon will only appear with a certain resident.
At maximum occupancy White Forest contains large trees, many patches oftall grass, and can have water surfaces. At low level occupancy the trees are smaller, there are fewer or no water surfaces, and patches of tall grass are sparse. The Mayor's House andPokémon Center are present regardless of how many people reside in the forest.
When using theEntralink feature to visit another player'sBlack City, the player can invite people who have left their Black City to come to White Forest to increase occupancy; this can enable new items and wild Pokémon to be found.
In White 2, White Forest has changed from the original White version. There are no longer patches of tall grass or pools of water to find wild Pokémon in. Instead, theWhite Treehollow is located within the northern part of the forest.
In Pokémon White, White Forest has a maximum population of 25, although only 10 residents can be present at any one time.
EachNPC resident has a set number of initial points (can be seen in the Pokémon section below), which will change depending on certain functions that can be performed by the player. The lowest set of initial points is 20, and the highest is 80. If an NPC's points value reaches 0, then they will leave White Forest. To prevent any residents from leaving and becoming unavailable, the player must reach White Forest within 4 days of creating the save file. Conversely, if the player reaches White Forest more than 16 days after the save file was created, no residents will appear. The factors involved in this are as follows:
Function
Value
1 day passes
-5 points
Player enters area
+3 points
Player talks to character
+10 points
Even after the player has reached White Forest, the factors remain in effect, which means the residents will leave if the player does not frequently re-enter the area or talk with them for multiple days afterward. Left NPCs can only be brought into White Forest by inviting them fromBlack City via theEntralink.
NPCs that have left will be visible to other players inEntralink. If this area becomes full, no more will leave, even if their score reaches zero.
Pokémon White 2
In Pokémon White 2, not counting Trainers in theWhite Treehollow, White Forest's population increases to a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 19.
Each day, each resident present may drop an item in one of ten locations in the Forest to be picked up that day. The items dropped mostly correlate with the items sold at the Market by the same resident in Black City.
The following Berries can be obtained by showing a certain Pokémon available in White Forest at the moment to the Mayor. This can be done once every day, but the Pokémon must have been caught on the same day.
In Pokémon White 2, there are four stalls, each unlocked after completing a certain area in the White Treehollow. Each store sells one item per day. Items on the left are sold on weekdays, while items on the right are sold on weekends. The areas to unlock the stalls are Area 2, Area 5, Area 8, and Area 10, respectively.
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.
White Forest appeared inDeduction Time, where it was revealed to have been frozen by thePlasma Frigate.Iris,Alder, andGorm broke out of the frozenWhite Treehollow, where they had beentraining while the forest was attacked. In the process, it was revealed that Alder had passed hisChampion title on to Iris.
Related cards Cards listed with ablue background are only legal to use in the currentExpanded format. Cards listed with agreen background are legal to use in both the currentStandard andExpanded formats.
The Pokémon that can appear here correspond to the specific team of the NPC who generates that Pokémon in Black City.
If the player invites people from either Black City or White Forest to go to their game and talks to them, they will say they met the player from the game they came from, even if that player hasn't reached that location yet.
White Forest is the only forest in the Pokémon games to contain a Pokémon Center.
If White Forest is visited in Pokémon White for the first time, the first patch of grass or the first water tile the player enters will always result in an encounter with a wild Pokémon.
White Forest's German name, Weißer Wald, is alliterative. It shares this trait with its counterpart, Black City.
