the greater metro area is called the "City of Cape Town" which is even sillier
the alternative would be to revert back to the indigenous Khoe name for the settlement : ǁHui ǃGaeb
"cape town" is a fuckin pokemon name for a city. who named this shit. game freak
#in Afrikaans it's Stad Kaapstad#I mean come on. Stad Kaap-stad smh#I love this city though leave is alone#wrt pokémon#the first time I reached Lilycove City in Hoenn I fell in love#Lilycove has such Cape Town vibes#and all the main landmarks are the same : the convention centre. the national gallery. an island off the coast.#and at the time of ruby/sapphire we had the largest shopping mall in the country too#you also have to pass the safari zone and Mt Pyre to get to Lilycove#just like you pass the Table Mountain National Park on the way in to Cape Town#all of which is why I feel like Cape Town has Lilycove vibes rather than any of the other coastal cities in the pokémon world
