===Hoenn===
Depending on the player's gender, the player lives in one of two houses in Littleroot Town. lives in one in the northwest of the town, while lives in one in the northeast of Littleroot. Both houses, including the bedrooms, are essentially mirrored versions of each other.

Both bedrooms feature a TV, a Nintendo GameCube (the in-game text says that a GBA is connected to the GameCube)/a Wii U with a GamePad, a town map, a notebook with basic control instructions, and a clock on the wall, which serves as the only indicator of time in the game. In Ruby and Sapphire, both bedrooms have a purple GameCube, but in Emerald, 's GameCube is purple, while 's is orange.
In , there is also a PC in the room, which can be used to access item and mail storage and the decoration feature. This latter feature is more basic than the system present in Generation II; Pokémon dolls and cushions may be placed on the rug only, and up to 16 decorations may be placed. The dolls, cushions, and other decorations can be placed in a Secret Base, where most of the customization options have shifted. In Ruby and Sapphire, both bedrooms have red rugs, but in Emerald, 's room has a blue rug, while 's has a pink rug. A Pokémon doll will appear in the rival's bedroom at a certain point in the game.
The Hoenn-based games are some of the few games that do not begin with the player in their bedroom, instead beginning in the back of a moving truck, having moved from the region of Johto to Hoenn. At the start of the game, there are two / helping with the move. Due to an oversight in the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald, both Vigoroth have Machoke's cry; this was fixed in the international versions of this game.
