'''Cherrygrove City''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ヨシノシティ|Yoshino Shiti}}''' ''Yoshino City'') is located in south-central [[Johto]]. Though the city has no [[Gym]], it is frequently passed through by [[Pokémon Trainer]]s on their way to [[Violet City]] from [[New Bark Town]]. The city acts mainly as a tutorial, introducing the player to the main tools of the game (the [[Pokémon Center]], the [[Poké Mart]], etc.).

==Places of interest==
===City Tour===
Guide Gent (Japanese: '''{{tt|おんないじいさん|Onnai Jīsan}}''' ''Kind Old Man''), who first stands near the east entrance of Cherrygrove City, will offer the {{player}} a tour of the city. The tour route includes the [[Pokémon Center]], the [[Pokémon Mart]], the exit to Route 30, the sea, and Guide Gent's house. Upon the conclusion of the tour, the player will receive the Map Card for their [[Pokégear]]. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he instead gives the player the [[Running Shoes]], and only gives them the Map Card upon leaving Cherrygrove City to the north.

===Off-shore island===
There is an off-shore island to the west of the town. Trainers are unable to reach the island when they first reach the town, due to the fact they are unable to use {{m|Surf}}. Trainers must gain {{HM|03|Surf}} in order to access this area. There is a man who will give the player the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Mystic Water}}. A strip of land north of the island has a hidden {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}}, which requires {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to reach.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Crystal===
In {{game|Crystal}}, Cherrygrove City has a total population of 18.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population of Cherrygrove City is 22, making it the second-smallest in [[Johto]], the smallest being [[New Bark Town]].

==Poké Mart==
The Poké Mart is to the left of the Pokémon Center.

== In the anime ==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} visited Cherrygrove City in ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]'' during their travels through Johto, where a large group of {{p|Quagsire}} were stealing spherical objects from the city and performing a ritual to the moon at a waterfall.

[[Alex Davis]] is revealed to be from the city in ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]''. [[Salvador]], who Ash battled in ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Cherrygrove City is the second smallest city of [[Johto]], which is ironic since its location is based on {{wp|Nagoya, Aichi|Nagoya}}, which is the third largest city of {{wp|Japan}} and the second largest city of the {{wp|Kansai region|region}} Johto represents.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the pond behind the [[Pokémon Center]] that was present, but inaccessible in [[Generation II]], is accessible through a new path on {{rt|30|Johto}}. However, this causes a strange phenomenon: due to there being only one set of data for all bodies of water in a given location, entirely different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can be caught depending on whether the {{player}} is in the water on the Cherrygrove City or Route 30 side of the pond. Even stranger is the fact that those found on the Cherrygrove side belong in the sea.
* As with many other [[Johto]] towns, Cherrygrove City's slogan is changed between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]. Its Generation II slogan is "''The City of Cute, Fragrant Flowers''"
