Think about your neighborhood. What is the name of your street? 

One town has streets that are named for Pokémon!

There is Charmander Lane. There is Squirtle Lane. And there is Snorlax Lane!

Andrea Miller helped build this part of town. It was her job to name the new streets. Her kids love Pokémon. They inspired her. They gave her the idea!

   The town is in Nevada.
