Trivia[]

  • Slateport City's name comes from "slate" (a shade of gray) and "port" (the nature of the town) due to its proximity to the ocean. Kaina City, its Japanese name, comes from 灰 (kai, ash, used in the word for "gray") and 海 (kai, ocean).
  • As Hoenn is based on Kyūshu, Slateport City is based on Nagasaki, a major port city.
