You know, I used to live in a former mining town. Carbondale, it was called. Gives away the game a bit, the “carbon” part. “Driftveil City” may not have any minerals in the name, but it’s a former mining town through and through. Clay has turned this blue collar burg into a gentrified pocket of apartment buildings and fancy tourist attractions. But when one of those attractions is a big Pokemon trainer tournament, well… who’s to say if gentrification is good or bad?
Next time: Mistralton City! I hear it basically hasn’t changed!
