Celadon City (Japanese: タマムシシティ Tamamushi City) is located in central Kanto. It is the most populous city in Kanto and the eighth most populous in the Pokémon world, surpassing even Saffron City in the east. The city has two entrances, one from the east via Route 7, and one from the west via Route 16.

Celadon is the main place to spend money in Kanto, through the Celadon Department Store and the Celadon Game Corner. It is the home of the Celadon Condominiums, where residents of the city live, and the Celadon Hotel, where visitors can rest. Celadon is also home to Erika, the city's Gym Leader, and Eusine, the hunter who pursues Suicune.

Places of interest

Celadon Department Store

Main article: Celadon Department Store

Celadon's department store is the largest building in the city, as well as the largest shop in Kanto. It is located in the northwest corner of the city. The store has two sliding door entrances, and is six stories high, including a rooftop floor.

Celadon Condominiums

Main article: Celadon Condominiums

Celadon Condominiums (known as Celadon Mansion prior to Generation IV) is located next to the Pokémon Center.

In the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the player can find a Poké Ball containing an Eevee here. Game Freak has an office in this building, where the player can receive a diploma from the lead developer if they have completed their Pokédex.

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, this is where the player obtains the Tea, which is required to enter Saffron City. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player receives the Tea from Brock in front of the building.

Celadon Game Corner

Main article: Celadon Game Corner

The Celadon Game Corner is located in the southeast of the city. It was originally run by Team Rocket, being known as the Rocket Game Corner while under their management. The Team Rocket Hideout is located underneath it; the staircase to the base is revealed by pressing a switch hidden behind a poster.

In the Generation I to IV games, the Game Corner consists of two adjacent buildings: the Game Corner proper (the larger building on the west) and the Prize Corner (the smaller building on the east). The main building contains the casino itself, where the player can earn Coins; the Prize Corner is where the player can exchange Coins for prizes, including Pokémon, TMs, and other items. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the Game Corner is one building with two entrances; the space on the west side contains the arcade while the space on the east side is just a sitting area.

In Generation IV, there is a man in the Prize Corner building who can tell the player the type of their Pokémon's Hidden Power.

Team Rocket Hideout

Main article: Team Rocket Hideout

The Team Rocket Hideout is an underground four-floor-deep complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner. The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the Game Corner in Celadon City. In the Generation I, III, and VII games, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat Team Rocket.

Celadon Hotel

The Celadon Hotel is a luxurious hotel building located in the southeastern part of the city. The player is not able to rent a room due to all the rooms being booked. The hotel's layout is remarkably similar to a Pokémon Center. The hotel is closed in Generation II and IV.

In Pokémon Red and Blue (but not Pokémon Yellow), there is an invisible PC in the hotel; it is speculated that this is an oversight that occurred due to the interior of the hotel being created by copying a Pokémon Center's layout, but the code that allows the player to activate the PC at that position was mistakenly not removed.

Move Tutors

The man who can only be accessed by Surf gives out TM41 (Softboiled) in Generation I. In Generation III, he instead offers to directly teach this move to certain Pokémon.

Move Type Gen I TM Softboiled  Normal  TM41

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, a Tamer in the Pokémon Center will teach the player's Partner Pokémon exclusive moves.

Let's Go, Pikachu! Move Type Cat. Floaty Fall  Flying  Physical

Let's Go, Eevee! Move Type Cat. Glitzy Glow  Psychic  Special Baddy Bad  Dark  Special

Fortune Teller

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, on the left side of the Pokémon Center is a Channeler called Madam Celadon with her Abra. For $10,000, Madam Celadon can influence the Nature of wild Pokémon they encounter for the rest of the day. Nature is determined with two questions; the first question determining the Nature's strength, and the second determining its weakness. The following chart describes the possible results.

Nature table
No change ↘		Which one will you thin out?
		↓Attack (Red)	↓Defense (Yellow)	↓Sp.Atk (Blue)	↓Sp.Def (Green)	↓Speed (Pink)
Which flower do you water?	↑Attack (Red)	Hardy	Lonely	Adamant	Naughty	Brave
	↑Defense (Yellow)	Bold	Docile	Impish	Lax	Relaxed

	↑Sp.Def (Green)	Calm	Gentle	Careful	Quirky	Sassy
	↑Speed (Pink)	Timid	Hasty	Jolly	Naive	Serious

Due to lack of breeding and Abilities, this is the only way to influence Natures in these games.

Celadon Gym

Main article: Celadon Gym

The Celadon Gym is the official Gym of Celadon City. It is based on Grass-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Erika. Trainers who defeat her receive the Rainbow Badge.

The Celadon Gym is a garden full of Trainers. It is impossible to reach Erika without fighting at least one other Trainer and using CutRBYGSCFRLGHGSS/Chop Down.PE In all versions and adaptations of Pokémon, Celadon Gym is consistently rendered as a greenhouse.

Differences between generations

Between Generation I and III, there have been some little and unnoticeable changes to Celadon City. Mostly, there are only aesthetic changes between building designs. A fountain has been added to the western side of the city. The small pond in the center of the city now has small hints of pollution, with Grimer and Koffing appearing on rare occasions, as an allusion to the previous generation.

In Generation II, Celadon City has changed quite a bit. Some buildings have been removed and some have been added. There is a café located on the eastern side of town, and the Department Store has been moved to the far western side of town. Over the course of two years, the small pond has grown very polluted; only Grimer and Muk can be found there. Like Generation III, Generation IV has the added fountain to the western side of the city. The central pond has been extended southward with a bridge going across it.

In animation

Pokémon the Series

Pokémon the Series: The Beginning

Celadon City first appeared in Pokémon Scent-sation!, where Ash and his friends visited it so that Ash could earn his fifth Badge at the Celadon Gym. However, due to him insulting the perfumes at a local store managed by Gym Leader Erika, the Gym Trainers refused to let Ash enter the Gym out of spite. Desperate to earn his Badge, Ash reluctantly teamed up with Team Rocket and snuck into the Gym disguised as a girl named "Ashley". Although his disguise was soon found out, Erika still accepted his challenge for a battle, which ended up being interrupted when Team Rocket set the Gym on fire. After the fire had been put out, Erika gave Ash a Rainbow Badge as thanks for saving her Gloom from the flames.

Ash and his friends briefly revisited Celadon City in The Punchy Pokémon after they just left it. Although it is not mentioned in the episode, according to official art for the P1 Grand Prix from the Game Freak website, the P1 Grand Prix takes place in the Celadon City Hall.

Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver

In Chikorita's Big Upset, it was mentioned that Celadon City has a university, where the episode's Nurse Joy studied Pokémon psychology. In Fossil Fools, it was revealed that Professor Oak used to teach there, and Foster was one of his top students.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

In Suffering the Flings and Arrows!, Chloe decided to visit the Celadon Gym in order to attend a Pokémon Flower Arrangement class held by Erika, so that her Eevee could meet Erika's Leafeon. To her surprise, Ash and Goh joined her on the trip as well, with Goh hoping to use it as an opportunity to help his Pinsir win back his Heracross's love. The class ended up being interrupted by Team Rocket, but Pinsir's efforts in battling the villainous trio and defending Heracross from them proved equally effective in it regaining Heracross's affection.

I Choose You!

In I Choose You!, which is set in an alternate continuity from Pokémon the Series, Ash was shown challenging and defeating Erika at the Celadon City Gym, earning his third Badge from her.

Pokémon Origins

Red was briefly seen visiting Celadon City in File 3: Giovanni. After defeating Erika and earning the Rainbow Badge, he followed a "suspicious-looking guy" to a place that turned out to be Team Rocket's secret hideout. There, he released several Pokémon imprisoned by Team Rocket and had his first encounter with the leader of the organization, Giovanni.

Pokémon Generations

The Celadon Game Corner briefly appeared in The Chase, showing the International Police raiding the building and arresting several members of Team Rocket.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Like in the animated series, Celadon City has a university, at which Erika teaches in addition to her duties as Gym Leader.

Red, Green & Blue arc

Celadon City first appeared from Wartortle Wars to Meanwhile...Vileplume!. After being fooled into buying a lot of expensive items, all of which later turned out to be fake, from Green, Red encountered her again trying to sell her items to the people of Celadon. Upon noticing Red, she tried to get away with her Wartortle, but was stopped by Red and his Snorlax. When Red later went to spend night at the Celadon Hotel, he was enraged to find out that Green had secretly stolen his Boulder and Cascade Badges.

After having an encounter with Team Rocket and Mew, and supposedly recovering his Badges, Red encountered Erika, the Celadon City Gym Leader. She offered to accept Red's challenge for a battle if he caught her an Eevee. With the help of Bill, Red soon found an Eevee, but it turned out to be a modified Eevee, capable of changing into its Evolutions and back. After catching the Eevee, Red learned from Erika that the Eevee had been tested by Team Rocket, and she had wanted to test Red if he'd be a good ally in a fight against the evil organization.

Yellow arc

In Whacked by Marowak!, Yellow ended up in Celadon City after having escaped from Lorelei, and was greeted by Erika and several of her students. Super Nerd Miles, sent to capture Pika by Agatha, then appeared, disguised as Red. He knocked Erika out, overwhelmed Yellow, and tried to escape with Pika, but was stopped by the four "Gym Leaders of Justice". Agatha's Gastly then tried to kill Miles to silence him, but was stopped by Blue. Afterwards, Blue and Yellow left to train together at Route 9.

Starting from Karate Machop!, Celadon City was attacked by an army of Shellder and Cloyster, sent by Lorelei. While protecting her Gym, Erika found out that the Elite Four were after her Badge. After Yellow defeated Lance at Cerise Island, the Pokémon army lost its strength.

Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Celadon City appeared in Pikachu Was Kidnapped!!, where Red and his Pokémon ventured to the Game Corner, winning a lot of Coins. Team Rocket tried to steal Red's Pikachu, but were stopped by Clefairy.

Pokémon Zensho

Celadon City appeared in PZ05, where Satoshi visited the city. Originally, he merely followed a pair of Team Rocket Grunts from Lavender Town in order to get a Silph Scope, but after snatching one from the Team Rocket Hideout, he noticed the Gym and decided to challenge it as well. During the Gym battle with Erika, Satoshi's Charmeleon accidentally set Erika's kimono on fire, but saved her by slashing off the burning part. Seeing how well Satoshi had raised his Pokémon, Erika gave him a Rainbow Badge.

Trivia

• Many Gym Leaders have appeared at one point or another within Celadon City. Erika, as its own Gym Leader, resides there, while Jasmine, Falkner, Janine, Maylene, and Crasher Wake stop by at times during Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Giovanni also appears here during Generation I and its remakes, as the Rocket Boss in the hideout under the Game Corner, while Blue is known to have visited the city to challenge Erika in Generation I and its remakes. Brock and Misty also have visited the city, along with Ash, in the Pokémon the Series episode Pokémon Scent-sation!.
• In the Generation I games, the two Team Rocket Grunts that can be seen in the city remain even after Team Rocket is thwarted by the player at Silph Co. This was changed in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
  • However, a pair of grunts in the house near the restaurant remain even after the player has entered the Hall of Fame.
• Celadon City is one of two cities that is more populous than the largest city in its region, the other being Nimbasa City. They are more populous than Saffron City and Castelia City, respectively. This also happens in Sinnoh, but only in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl where Hearthome City is more populous than Jubilife City.
  • Coincidentally, Nimbasa City and Celadon City are both home to the fourth Gyms of their regions.
• In the Japanese version of the Generation I and II games, there are butsudan (Buddhist shrines) in some Celadon City buildings. They return the text "ぶつだん だ……" (It's a butsudan...) in Generation I and "ぶつだん だ…… うーん おせんこうの におい" (It's a butsudan... Hmm, the smell of incense.) in Generation II.
  • In the English version, the references to butsudan were removed from the text. Instead, they return the text "It's a sculpture of DIGLETT." in Generation I and "What is this? Oh, it's an incense burner!" in Generation II.
  • These objects are absent from the Generation III and IV remakes of these games.
• In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga, Celadon City's design is heavily based on the historic Fremont Street in Las Vegas.
• Though it isn't shown in the games, Celadon City is home to the Celadon University. Its alumni include Bill, Celio, Kazuki, and Professor Westwood.[1]
  • Hammerlocke in Galar is similarly known to have a university that the player cannot visit.

Origin

Celadon City may correspond to Setagaya, a special ward of Tokyo that has the largest population with its many residential neighbourhoods.
