== Theft rate statistics ==
Stats-wise and not by population, West Memphis has the highest Pokémon theft rate in the entire state of Arkansas. It has long been known as a dangerous place for a Pokémon trainer to be, and with the city's 148 Pokémon thefts in 2016, that reputation will not change one bit. Not only that, it also has the 3rd-highest Pokémon murder rate in Arkansas, averaging 12.32 murders a year, which is absurdly high for a city its' size. And unfortunately, due to Memphis having high crime rates and a lot of the gangs and Pokémon theft organizations spilling across the river into West Memphis, it doesn't look like it's getting any better I'n West Memphis...Most of these happen on the east side of town...but how long will it be before the west side starts experiencing it as well?
== Pokemon ==
As with most places along the Mississippi River, Water-type Pokémon sometimes swim out of the river and walk into West Memphis, often crossing the roads and streets and going through people's yards.

== Fun facts ==
* West Memphis is also a major truckstop city, due to being where I-40 and I-55 merge for a little bit. It's also a place that many truckers don't stop due to the high crime rates.
* Due to I-40 and I-55 being together for a short amount of time, West Memphis is a big hub for drug trafficking, the transport of stolen Pokémon and other smuggling. Very often, you will see cars stopped by police along the road, and sometimes, you may see people in handcuffs. There is also often road work along I-40 between Little Rock and Memphis due to being heavily used, so there's a chance you'll end up stuck in traffic as well.
* West Memphis also has some amenities for travelers...a lot of fast food, truck stops as mentioned above (One of which has a Denny's and another has an Iron Skillet), Applebee's, Shoney's, Cracker Barrel, Walmart, Nintendo World, Solstice Apparel, dollar stores, a small branch of Arkansas State University, a municipal airport, Southland Park Gaming & Racing (a casino and greyhound racetrack), plenty of hotels to stay at, a Mexican place called Pancho's, local restaurants, a Kroger, and much more.
