This area is only accessible in White. In Black, this space is instead occupied by Black City.
This area has between 0 and 10 inhabitants, with the amount of tall grass and water reflecting the number of inhabitants. When the area is first visited, the number of inhabitants is determined by the number of days (according to the DS clock) that it took the player to reach White Forest since starting the save file, with a longer time resulting in fewer inhabitants.
The player can use the Entralink to visit the Black City location in another player's copy of Black, and while there, can invite people to come to White Forest to increase the population. A higher population in White Forest means more wild Pokémon variety.
The market in this area expands its offerings based on how much progress the player has made in White Treehollow. The details about which vendors and items require what amount of progress are shown below.
Every resident has a set number of points associated with them. The number of points associated with a resident can change if certain actions are performed. If the number of points reaches 0, the resident will leave White Forest permanently, unless invited back using the aforementioned Entralink feature. The actions that can change a resident's point values are as follows:
| Action | Point change |
|---|---|
| 1 day passes | -5 (all residents) |
| Player visits the area | +3 (all residents) |
| Player talks to resident | +10 (just that resident) |
The Pokémon that can appear here are tied to specific residents of the city; if that resident leaves, the Pokémon can no longer be found. All Pokémon are level 5.
Of the residents with point values, only ten will be in one White Forest at any given time.
The encounter rates of each Pokémon are determined based on a weight system. When an encounter is generated, the game will do the following:
| Resident | Initial Points |
Associated Pokémon (Walking) |
Weight | Associated Pokémon (Surfing) |
