Viridian City (Japanese: トキワシティ Tokiwa City) is a small city located in western Kanto. It is home to the Viridian Gym, which can only be challenged by the player once they have obtained the Badges of the seven other Gyms of Kanto. In the Kanto-based games, the Gym Leader is Giovanni, the boss of Team Rocket and a Ground-type expert. After being defeated, he abandons the Gym and is replaced by Blue, who has no specialty type. He is the Gym Leader during the events of the Johto-based games.

Geography

Viridian City is a small city with an average population and three exits. To the north is Route 2, divided into two by Viridian Forest and leading to Pewter City. To the south is Route 1, leading to Pallet Town. To the west is Route 22, leading to the Pokémon League Reception Gate.

Between the three-year gap of Generation I and Generation II (as well as their remakes), the city has changed drastically with the Trainer House replacing the Trainers' School, and becoming known as "the Gateway to Indigo Plateau", although the layout remains largely the same.

In Generation VII the city's layout is still faithful to the original, but a difference in elevation means that the secluded area on the left is only accessible by chopping down the bush above. Compared to it's appearance in Generation III, Viridian City appears more similar to its Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver appearance, with dark gray asphalt as opposed to the lighter gray pavement. Additionally, every dirt path is no longer present, and the Gym has been moved further back into the trees, meaning it cannot be walked around as is the case in every other game.

Viridian Gym

Main article: Viridian Gym

The Viridian Gym is the official Gym of Viridian City. Trainers who defeat this Gym's Leader receive the Earth Badge. The Gym is usually strewn with the same one-way spin tiles seen in the Team Rocket Hideout, except in Generation II, where the floor is bare of any obstacles.

In Generations I, III, and VII, it is based on Ground-type Pokémon and the Gym Leader is Giovanni, the head of Team Rocket. The Gym is initially locked due to its Leader's absence and will not re-open until the player has collected the other seven Badges.

In Generations II, IV, and VII, Team Rocket has disbanded and Blue takes over as the Gym's Leader. Under Blue's direction, the Gym no longer concentrates on any particular type.

Trainers' School

Main article: Pokémon academy

In Generations I, III and VII, this school is located in the center of Viridian. It is a place dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced Trainers. Before Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, it was referred to as the Pokémon Academy.

In Generations II and IV, this school has been replaced by the Trainer House.

Generation I	Generation III	Generation VII

Trainer House

Main article: Trainer House

In Generations II and IV, the Trainer House replaces the Trainers' School in the center of Viridian. The first floor is occupied by a handful of people, while the basement is primarily dedicated to a battlefield. In the basement, the player may battle other Trainers once a day.

In Generation II, the opposing Trainer in the basement will be the last person the player has used Mystery Gift with, with whatever party they had when Mystery Gift was used. If the player has never used Mystery Gift with anyone, the opposing Trainer will be Cal.

In Generation IV, the player will initially only find Ace Trainer Cal in the basement. When the player meets another Trainer via the Pokéwalker and re-syncs the Pokéwalker back to their game, the other Trainer will also appear in the basement with their party. Up to 10 additional Trainers may be encountered in this way. Any Pokémon in a Trainer's party above level 50 will have their level reduced to 50. Battles here give no experience or money, but the player will receive 1 BP for each victory.

Generation II	Generation IV

Old Man

Main article: Old man (Kanto)

In Generation I and III, a grumpy old man blocks the player from progressing to Route 2 until he has had his daily coffee (in the Japanese script he is drunk and has passed out), preventing players from wandering past Viridian City until they've delivered Oak's Parcel to Professor Oak. When returning to the area after delivering Oak's Parcel, he can teach the player how to catch a Pokémon. He will also give the player a Teachy TV in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, which instructs the player about battling and catching Pokémon through a variety of programs.

He makes an appearance in the same spot in Generation II and IV sequels, declaring that he has had his espresso and that he was once an expert at catching Pokémon, referencing the events three years prior.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, his role is instead served by Jessie, James, and Meowth.

Generation I	Generation III

TM man/Move Tutor

There is a man on the west side of Viridian City that requires Cut or Surf to access, or Secret Technique Chop Down in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

In Generation I, II, and IV, he gives the player a TM for Dream Eater. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, he gives the player the TM for Will-O-Wisp. In Generation III, he is a Move Tutor for Dream Eater.
