Pokémon World Locations

The National Park (Japanese: しぜんこうえん Nature Park) is a location in Johto. It is found to the north of Goldenrod City, between Route 35 and Route 36. The Bug-Catching Contest takes place there every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Geography

The park is a place full of Trainers and their Pokémon. Most of the people talk about printing pictures off from the Pokédex, a reference to the Game Boy Printer that was released two years before the games.

By stepping into the grass in the main area of the park, the Trainers will challenge the player to a battle. If, however, the player stays out of the grass, they will not notice the player. They will also not battle during a Bug-Catching Contest.

The National Park contains the first extremely long grass encountered in the games. When it is Cut, it changes into short grass before disappearing. A bike can also be ridden in it, unlike the case in later generations.

The main area of the park resembles a Poké Ball.

Items

• Quick Claw: obtained from the lady sitting on a bench beside a Persian
• Parlyz Heal: found by crossing the fence at the north of the park
• TM28 (Dig): found by crossing the fence at the north of the park
• Full Heal: hidden behind the fence right next to the south entrance
