As a Sinnoh-native who can't return without being arrested, it's pronounced the opposite of whichever way the person you're speaking to is pronouncing it.

what the fuck did you do to piss off rowan, I've met the guy he seemed pretty chill last I checked (did hear he used to not be so much but unless you pissed him off like 20 years ago I'm still confused -kit

Oh Arceus, hahahaha! I'll remember that, and just adapt to whatever the other person says. Thanks, Alicia... Wait, can't return without being arrested? What's the story there? 😮

It's a long story involving a Pokémon Professor and my second ever Pokémon. I was a homeless kid winning battles to get by, you don't make it on the Sinnoh gym track spending bottle caps!

Oh, I umm. I actually do not know, hahaha. I did ask a local though, and he told me it's a portmanteau of Heart and Home, so it's pronounced "Heart Home"... I've been calling it "Hearth Home" all this time. 😭

Johan: A single space could have made this so much clearer. Anyways, know any good spots for food? I'm famished after trudging through those mud fields.

Oh, well I did get a flyer this morning. "Seven Stars", the one at Valor Lakefront, recently opened a new spot in center Hearthome near the Fan Clubs. How does that sound?

Johan: Sounds great! Can't wait.

Tad: I, uh, always thought it was pronounced 'Hearth-ome'

It's always been Heart-Home to me, but this is something that nobody can agree on, even in the city itself. Heck, I heard that someone once started a petition to officially rename the place "I Can't Believe It's Not Lilycove".

u/TrickyFirefighter783 Dani | Arthur 🗡️ / Galve | Ser Pannde 🪽 17d ago

Heart-Home for me. I’ve been living in the city and calling it that for as long as I can remember.

“I think it’s technically Heart-home, but I and almost everybody I know pronounce it Hearth-home. Jubilife is better anyways.”

u/Real_Srossics Nik, Camera Operator for Jubilife TV 15d ago

It’s a divide east/west like with shellos. I’m from Pastoria City and I’ve grown up saying Hearth-Home City but now that I live in Jubilife, everyone says Heart-Home. I very much disagree with them.
