Overview
Pokemon Centers are the most important buildings in each region. They must be rebuilt from scratch, since all human infrastructure has collapsed. Once rebuilt, a Pokemon Center provides essential services including PP healing, item duplication via the 3D Printer, trading, and more. Each of the four main regions plus Palette Town has its own Pokemon Center.

Link Play: Access Cloud Islands, friend visits, and Palette Town multiplayer.

Tips
Place Storage Boxes inside your Pokemon Center for convenient item management.
The Healing Machine is your only free PP restoration method; plan your daily activity around it.
Position a Trade-specialty Pokemon near the Pokemon Center to keep the Trade Shop active.
At Environment Level 10, you can purchase a different regional Pokemon Center Kit to remodel centers in other styles.
Rebuild your first Pokemon Center as early as possible to unlock the 3D Printer and Daily Activities.

Remodeling at Environment Level 10
When you reach Environment Level 10 in any region, you unlock the ability to purchase that region's Pokemon Center style as a remodeling kit from the PC Shop for 1,000 Life Coins. Applying a remodel kit changes the exterior and interior appearance of a Pokemon Center to match the purchased style. All services remain the same regardless of style. This is purely cosmetic.
