The Seafoam Islands (Japanese: ふたごじま Twin Islands) are a pair of islands that are situated on Route 20. The two islands are shaped the same, as if they were twins.

In the games

Seafoam Islands hosts the Cinnabar Gym in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

The caves beneath the islands are full of twists and turns and have five separate floors. To complete the trek through them, a series of puzzles involving using Strength to move boulders to block the flow of water need to be solved.

The Seafoam Islands is the only known roost of the Legendary Pokémon, Articuno. It's located on the very lowest floor of the caverns under the islands. It is also where Misty comes to train.

In Generation II and IV, the destruction of Cinnabar Island causes Blaine to move his Gym to the Seafoam Islands.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Articuno can be found here like before while Blaine's Gym is located in the east cave. As soon as the player walks into the east cave, there is a ladder that leads to an upper level where Blaine's Gym is located. There is a set of stairs leading to a lower level in the islands just past the ladder. The Gym is much bigger than its Generation II counterpart as it sports a brand new puzzle with junior trainers. The interior of the island received a massive redesign. Strangely enough, the cave section of Seafoam Islands uses the same music as Johto dungeons such as Ice Path, as opposed to the music used in Kanto dungeons. Also, unlike previous generations, there are three Trainers within the islands. Two of them are Boarders and the other is a Skier.

In the anime

The Seafoam Islands in the anime.

The anime version of the Seafoam Islands is much more populated, and has a relatively large town. Ash goes there to train for the Indigo Plateau Conference where he meets Professor Westwood V, who is researching the evolution of Slowpoke. He also sees a surfer take the local challenge to plant a flag on a large rock sticking out of the ocean. Unlike the games, road/ground travel is possible by a bridge between the island and Fuchsia City. Ferries leave from here, and travel to Littleroot Town in the Hoenn region.

Later, Tracey and Ritchie go there to find Professor Oak after he is kidnapped at the TV Station.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

The Seafoam Islands appeared in What a Dragonite and You Know... Articuno, where after being saved by Misty on Route 19 she swapped Red's Krabby for her Gyarados and she left on her Starmie. Suddenly when walking on the Island Red was attacked by a Muk that was from Team Rocket, they had also captured Articuno that got away in the end.
