Sandgem Town

Sandgem Town is a small town in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions and Pokémon Diamond Version. It is the second town that the player character visits. It is very close to Twinleaf Town, and can be reached by taking Route 201. To the north of Sandgem Town is Route 202, and to the south is a beach area, Route 219. The main location of Sandgem Town is the Pokémon Research Lab, run by Professor Rowan. Sandgem Town has four other buildings, two of which are the usual Pokémon Center and a Poké Mart.

When the player character first reaches Sandgem Town, they enter into Rowan's Lab, where he gives them a Pokédex. The player character's second rival (Dawn if the player is male and Lucas if the player is female) lives here as well, and serve as Professor Rowan's assistant. Once the player character has acquired the National Pokédex, Dawn or Lucas's little sister informs them whenever a mass outbreak of Pokémon occurs.
