Village Bridge

The woman in the furthest house to the right will heal the player's Pokémon.

A woman and her four Patrat initially live here, but once the player enters her house, she leaves for greener pastures. She and her troupe can then be found on Marvelous Bridge. She will award the player with a Big Mushroom after winning a cup-and-ball game. It can be obtained once per day.

Grass flute, second acoustic guitar, beatboxing, and enka vocal parts can be added to the background track by speaking to NPCs Derleth (Japanese: タンボ Tambo), Aickman (Japanese: ソン Son), Russo (Japanese: ガッチー Gatchī), and Koontz (Japanese: れいぞう Reizō), respectively. The initial kana of these NPCs' Japanese names make up the sound of the word "たそがれ" tasogare (meaning dusk), which is one of the more clearly heard words in the song. Similarly, the initial letters of these NPCs' English names spell out the word "dark", fitting their title as the Dark musicians of Village Bridge.

This is a fan interpretation of the vocals:

• Village Bridge draws inspiration from the Ponte Vecchio, a Medieval bridge over the River Arno, in Florence, Italy.
• Upon returning to the house that belonged to the woman with the Patrat, a couple will have newly moved into it. The woman will comment that the house "smells a little like Patrat."
• Much like the other bridges, the Bicycle and Surf themes are not played here. However, it is the only one of Unova's bridges where the player can use Surf.
• The Village Bridge is one of four settlements in a main series game, other than a player's hometown, not to feature a Pokémon Center. The others are Anville Town, Aquacorde Town and Iki Town.
• Although Seviper and Zangoose are natural enemies, they can be found fighting together in wild Double Battles in dark grass.
• In the English-language adaptations, Derleth, Koontz, Aickman, and Russo are named after the science fiction writers August Derleth, Dean Koontz, Robert Aickman, and Richard Paul Russo respectively.
• One of the customers at the Sandwich Shop in Black and White owns a Pikachu, despite Pikachu not being native to Unova.
• One of the members of the Dark musicians of Village Bridge, Aickman, says, "I know my sound doesn't fit this city, this town. But I... I cannot change my life, my style." This may be a reference to the fact that Enka is not commonly heard in places such as the inspiration of Village Bridge, the Ponte Vecchio, or Unova's inspiration, New York.
