Palette Town in Pokopia (Often Misspelled "Pallet Town"): Location & Pokémon
Palette Town is your starting Pokopia region — often searched as "Pallet Town." Here is what it contains, what is real, and what is community myth.
Palette Town is the starting region in Pokémon Pokopia. It is named after a painter's color palette — not after Pallet Town, the Kanto town from the original Pokémon games. Many players type "Pallet Town Pokopia" into search engines looking for this region; both spellings refer to the same place in Pokopia.
Palette Town vs. Pallet Town: which is correct?
Inside Pokopia the canonical name is Palette Town — with the painter's spelling. The community frequently spells it Pallet Town because the Kanto town is more familiar to long-time Pokémon fans. If you have heard someone refer to "Pallet Town" in a Pokopia context, they almost certainly mean Palette Town.
Both spellings point to the same in-game region. We use Palette Town everywhere because it matches the in-game text.

Why Pokopia did not just call it "Pallet Town"
Pokopia avoids reusing canonical place names from the mainline games. Cloud Island regions are named after themes — palette, ridges, skylands, beach — rather than after Kanto or Johto landmarks. Palette Town nods at the franchise tradition (a starter town with the same first letter and rhythm) without copying it directly.
