Eyecatch in Generation III
Viridian Forest in Generation I
Viridian Forest in Generation III
Viridian Forest (Japanese: トキワのもり Tokiwa Forest) lies between Viridian City and Pewter City. The trees in the forest are so thick that little light gets in. It is full of Bug- and Flying-type Pokémon. A natural maze, many people become lost inside.
Both the north and south entrances of Viridian Forest open to Route 2.
Viridian Forest disappears in the Generation II games, possibly cut down, though this may have been just to save space on the game cart, as in its place are standard trees on Route 2 (forming roughly the same design as before), items and Berry trees. In the Generation IV remakes, the forest remains in full.

In the anime
Viridian Forest appeared in multiple episodes of the Pokémon anime. It was first shown in Ash Catches a Pokémon, where Ash caught his first two Pokémon: Caterpie and Pidgeotto. The forest was also the setting of the following episode, where it was the location of Ash's first proper trainer battle. Later in the series, Ash released his Pidgeot here in Pallet Party Panic!.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Many important people were born here, including Lance, Giovanni, and Yellow. It is said that people born in Viridian Forest are given special powers. Lance and Yellow both share the power to heal Pokémon using physical touch as well as to read the minds of Pokémon. Yellow can also move inanimate objects, namely Poké Balls, as well as raise her Pokémon's levels using the power of the Viridian Forest (although this power seems involuntary). Giovanni has yet to display any special powers.
The forest is first visited in The Secret of Kangaskhan (Red, Green & Blue chapter) by Red and Blue. In their search for Pokémon, they encounter a wild Kangaskhan and its baby.
