Greenville, Mississippi

Greenville is a city in and the county seat of Washington County, Mississippi. The population of the city is 34,400, making it the eighth-largest city in Mississippi. Located on the east bank of Lake Ferguson, Greenville has long been the largest city in the state's Delta region, and as such, has acted as the region's commercial, industrial and cultural hub. Unfortunately, Greenville these days is completely opposite from what it once was, and today, is one of the South's most economically depressed cities, along with suffering from high rates of crime and Pokemon theft.

== Theft rate statistics ==
Not only is Greenville depressed, but as mentioned above, the city suffers from high rates of crime, both violent and property, and in the case of Pokemon theft and murder, it's very high. Quite ridiculous for a city of its size. It has both the state's second-highest Pokemon theft and murder rates, right behind Jackson, but it will not be in contention for number one any time soon. The city reported 100 Pokemon thefts in 2018, and averages 20.43 murders a year.
== Pokemon ==
As with most places along the Mississippi River, Water-type Pokémon sometimes swim out of the river and walk into Greenville, often crossing the roads and streets and going through people's yards.
