Visitors
The visitors strolling
down the avenue are
key to its development.
It is by engaging these
that shops can be
opened and visited.
A set amount of strolling
NPCs, known as the
player's fans (Japanese:
The entrance to Join Avenue in White ファン fan), will arrive
2. at the avenue each day.
This amount is
determined by the avenue's rank and the player's game
progression. After the player has entered the Hall of Fame, Gym
Leaders will occasionally arrive among these, as a bonus. The
avenue can hold no more than twelve visiting NPC fans at a time.
Consequently, no NPC fans will arrive on a day on which this limit
has already been reached, even if the player subsequently makes
room. This also means that any amount of arriving NPC fans that
would have otherwise exceeded the limit will be capped.
Additionally, other players of Black, White, Black 2, and White 2
will visit the avenue when they are registered by the game. This is
done through any means of connecting two players' games, such
as the C-Gear's Tag Log, battles, trades, and interaction between
Pokémon Dream World accounts. A visiting player's overworld
appearance will be the Trainer class that player selected on their
Trainer Card. Their dialogue will be based on their customized
avenue dialogue (if applicable; otherwise Passerby Analytics
responses will be used, if possible) and on various information
from the player's game file. To get a player to visit again, their
game must be registered again after at least a day has passed.
Opening shops
There are eight different types of avenue shops, which are Raffle
Shops, Beauty Salons, Dojos, Markets, Flower Shops, Antique
Shops, Cafés, and Nurseries. All of these provide different
services, but some variation in terms of services provided is also
found within most shop types, depending on the shop owner.
These are referred to as variations A, B, C, and D in this article.
In order to open a shop, the player must invite a visitor to do so,
which will make him or her a resident running a shop of his or her
preferred type and personal variation, if applicable. The avenue

Recommending shops
Instead of inviting a visitor to open a shop, the player can also
choose to recommend a visitor to visit one of the avenue's
established shops, after which they will leave. Successful
recommendations result in popularity point gains for the
recommended shops and the avenue itself, which determine their
respective ranks.

Souvenirs
When engaged, visitors frequently greet the player with one of the
souvenir item listed below. As the avenue's rank increases, it is
possible to get more valuable items.

Rank
The avenue and all of its individual shops each have their own
rank, all starting at Rank 1. To reach the next rank, the required
amount of popularity points must be gained by recommending
shops to visitors. Upon reaching a new avenue rank or shop rank,
the amount of popularity points required to reach the next rank will
always be at its maximum, ignoring any popularity point gain
exceeding the previous requirement. For example, if the avenue
needs 20 points to reach the next rank, there is no difference
between an increase of 20 points or 1000 points.
Avenue rank
For each rank higher than Rank 1, the prices of the avenue's
shops' items and services are decreased by one percent, capping
at a 40% discount.
As the avenue's rank increases, NPCs will start residing in the
player's office and on the avenue. These will ask the player
multiple-choice questions concerning preferences. The answers
given will be used to determine various outcomes when players
interact on each others avenues. One of these NPCs, namely the
man residing in the player's office wearing a black suit and
shades, does not follow this pattern, and will instead provide
some information about the current shop owners in the player's
avenue - this applies only to the multiplayer representations
owning a shop, as the man will have no information about regular
NPC fans. He will not have as much information about players of
Black and White as he will have about players of Black 2 and
White 2.
Upon reaching Rank 20, the owner of the avenue will appear in
the player's office, after which a sequence follows in which the
player and his or her four assistants walk down the avenue,
greeting all of the shop owners, displaying various information
about the avenue's current status, as they are cheered on. This
feature has its own background music, ジョインアベニューであい
さつ! Join Avenue Salutation!
The owner of the avenue will reward the player with an item for
every rank increase after Rank 20, as presented in the table
below.

Shop rank
The rank of a shop determines the services it provides. The
maximum rank a shop can reach is Rank 10, after which it will
stop receiving popularity points, although it can still be
recommended to visitors, contributing with popularity points to the
avenue rank. Any service provided by a shop can only be
provided once per day, unless the shop's rank goes up, in which
case it will refresh.
When all eight shops on a player's avenue have reached Rank
10, the shop owners decide to run a special promotion, which
lasts for seven days. During a promotion, all services are
discounted beyond the usual avenue rank-based discount, making
it possible to break the 40% discount cap during such a period.
Raffle Shops, which are free and thus cannot be discounted, give
the player two chances instead of one during promotions.
All shops change appearance and name when reaching Rank 4,
and again at Rank 8, as presented in the table below. The final

Visitor wanting to open a Dojo:

A Dojo (Japanese: どうじょう Dojo) offers various services
increasing a Pokémon's effort values or level. A Pokémon will not
evolve or learn new moves when its level is increased in this
manner.
The services provided by Dojos vary with the shop owner along
four different variations, referred to as A, B, C, and D in this
article.
Market
Visitor wanting to open a Market:
"I would want to collect a lot of things and surprise everyone."
A Market (Japanese: マーケット Market) sells various items,
mainly in large batches, at a discount. Most of these items are not
sold in regular Poké Marts.
The services provided by Markets vary with the shop owner along
four different variations, referred to as A, B, C, and D in this

Nursery
Visitor wanting to open a Nursery:
"I would want to spend my days helping Pokémon Eggs

A Nursery (Japanese: ほいくじょ Nursery) offers various services
that make Eggs hatch faster.
Nurseries are initially inaccessible. Once unlocked, by entering the
Hall of Fame and reaching avenue Rank 15, certain compatible
visitors (such as NPC fans Jaylen and Jess) will change shop
type, meaning that they will ask to open a Nursery upon invitation,
rather than their previous shop type. In the event that such a
Trivia
Like other in-game features depending on a Nintendo DS/3DS
clock, Join Avenue will be interrupted for one full day plus the
time it takes to reach midnight that night if any changes are
made to the date or time settings of the Nintendo DS/3DS
system in use (including those caused by changing to another
Nintendo DS/3DS system).
In Generation V, Raffle Shops provide the only single-player
opportunity to obtain Master Balls beyond the limited amount
available through story progression.
All 49 NPC fans visiting Join Avenue have names beginning
with letters J or A, in reference to the location's name. This is
also the case in the Japanese versions, with the exception of
Janus, who is named ハジメ Hajime (which, like Janus,
alludes to his status as the avenue's first visitor and recruit, as
hajime means beginning).
The NPC fans' overworld sprite appearances are limited to
those of the Trainer classes that can be selected on Trainer
Cards.
In place of landmarks, the Town Map provides three live
statistics for Join Avenue: current avenue rank, recommended
or invited, and current visitors.
This is the only location in the games whose name can be
changed. However, if an egg is hatched here, the hatch
location will state Join Avenue even if the name was changed.
