Frontier Town was said by some to be the centre of the West, and the Founder's Square was the centre of Frontier Town.
There were two thoroughfares, one north-south, one east-west, which met in the centre of Frontier Town. They formed a crossroads, the surroundings of which were kept as an open space by the residents, for public meetings and civic beautification. This area formed a large diamond of paved stone, each side of which was the front face of an important town building – the Town Hall, the Sun Stone Saloon, the post office and bank, with their adjoining assay office, and the Sanctum of Wishes, a kind of local shrine or chapel of sorts. In the middle of the square, a limestone statue of an empoleon stood astride a fountain, around which were several wooden benches. There was even room for a few proud trees and potted shrubs, to provide a splash of green.
The square was in near-constant use most hours of the day, and even during the night given the nocturnal habits of some residents. Locals and visitors passed through regularly and often enough that it was often a colourful location, with many species to see. After all, from here you could go straight to anywhere on the town two largest streets, such as the barber-dentist, the photography studio, the jailhouse, the general store, and several other such indispensable venues.
Just along the north road was the charred wreckage of what may have once been some kind of wooden platform. Broken beams and blackened ropes were all that remained. The skyline was dominated by a grand mountain range to the west, and scrubland to the east. A little along the east road, the Silver River ran through the town, serving as both a reliable water source, and a means of transportation for more aquatically-inclined pokémon. Elsewhere, scaffolds and pulley systems were signs of new construction.
This was the centre of the West, after all. And the West was always growing.
