Accumula Town first appeared in An Odd Speech. After arriving there, and camped outside for the night while White's , Gigi, was given a hotel room due to her status as an actress in the BW Agency. The two were suddenly attacked by a , but the attack turned out to have been just Team Plasma setting up a stand, and they apologized for the damages and disturbance they had unintentionally caused for them. The next day, Ghetsis held a speech on the finished stand, imploring the people of Accumula Town to their Pokémon. When some people indeed started doing this, several others followed suit, much to Black's shock.
In Letting Go, Black deduced that Team Plasma was holding similar speeches around Unova, basing his deduction on the fact that his , Tula, had set up its trap close to a human residence, which seemed unusual for a wild Pokémon, since they avoid making too much human contact. As such, it must've belonged to a who released it recently after hearing a similar speech. Soon afterwards, Black was approached by , who forced him to him. During the battle, N expressed his disgust at the thoughts of Pokémon being confined to Poké Balls and the Pokédex causing more Pokémon to be to complete its pages.
In Listening to Pokémon, Black countered N's thoughts with a passionate speech about how his Pokémon weren't suffering, as they shared his desire to defeat the , with the Pokédex allowing him to understand his Pokémon better. After Black's Tepig, Tep, had proven its determination by charging through N's 's attack, N called off the battle and left. White was worried if N was a member of Team Plasma, but while Black wasn't certain whether he was or not, he had seen N's dream in his Munna's Dream Mist during the battle. Based on it, he decided that while N might've been wrong about them, he wasn't a bad guy.

==Trivia==
*A typographical error occurs in this town, when showing a tiny Pokémon to the who makes daily requests to see one: "Wow! Amazing! <Pokémon species name> is so tiny!"
*The first battle with Lass Diana is the only Trainer battle in Black 2 and White 2 outside of a battle facility that has its levels unaffected by what is used; rather, the levels are based solely on what the player trades. If an Excadrill that is lower than 65 is traded to Diana, the Excadrill in battle will be raised to level 65; if the Excadrill traded is at least 65, the Excadrill in battle will instead be raised by 5 levels, to a maximum of 100.
**Additionally, if the Excadrill and Hippowdon traded to her are nicknamed or , they will retain these factors when battling Diana.
