'''Cerulean City''' (Japanese: '''ハナダシティ''' ''Hanada City'') is a seaside city located in northern [[Kanto]]. It is situated near a sea inlet to the north, with [[Saffron City]] to the south, and [[Mt. Moon]] to the west. It is home to [[Misty]], the Cerulean City [[Gym Leader]].

The city is one of only two cities in Kanto to have four different [[route]]s enter the city, the other being [[Saffron City]]. Cerulean is a mid-sized city with a few attractions, including the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] and the [[Berry Powder]] man.

==Slogan==
===Generations I-III===
'''''A Mysterious, Blue Aura Surrounds It''''' (Japanese: '''ハナダは　みずいろ　しんぴのいろ''' ''Hanada is the color of aqua mysteries.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''The Floral Lagoon City''''' (Japanese: '''はなさく　みずの　まち''' ''The town of bursting water.'')

==Places of interest==
===Bike Shop===
[[File:Miracle Cycle FRLG inside.png|thumb|200px|The Bike Shop in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
{{main|Miracle Cycle}}

In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Bike Shop sells Bicycles produced by the company. Designs range from a plain city bike to a fast mountain bike; however, the {{player}} can only ever get one: the [[Bicycle]]. It can be bought for {{PDollar}}1,000,000 or exchanged for a [[Bike Voucher]]. As only {{PDollar}}999,999 can be held at maximum, there is no way for the player to obtain a Bicycle without a Bike Voucher. The [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] in [[Vermilion City]] will hand over his Bike Voucher if the player listens to him talk about his {{p|Rapidash}}.

In [[Generation II]], the shop is closed because the owner decided to move the shop to [[Goldenrod City]] in the [[Johto]] region. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, the shop in [[Kanto]] is also open, although nothing is obtainable inside. The manager mentions that since all the bicycles have been shipped to Johto for sale, all he has left to sell are inflatable tubes. The ''That Town, These People'' radio show profile of Cerulean City mentions this as well.

The name "Miracle Cycle" only appears in the Japanese {{pkmn|games}}. In the English versions, the Miracle Cycle Shops are just called "Bike Shops" and no mention of Miracle Cycle is made at all.

In [[Generation VII]], the shop is replaced with the home of the Bike Maniac, who collects different kinds of Bicycles, such as [[Mach Bike]]s and [[Acro Bike]]s. He doesn't sell or give away any of them.

===Cerulean Cave===
{{main|Cerulean Cave}}
On the outskirts of Cerulean City lies Cerulean Cave, also known as the Unknown Dungeon. It is said to be home to "horribly strong {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}". The player can capture the [[level]] 70 {{p|Mewtwo}} in the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}} games. Only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who compete and win in the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] may enter due to the strength of the Pokémon in the cave, although in Generation IV, the player must also defeat all of Kanto's [[Gym Leader]]s in order to gain access. Mewtwo lies at the end of the cave, the only one of its species in the game.

Another addition in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} is that Trainers are now required to further prove themselves before entering the cave by completing the quest on the [[Sevii Islands]] and restoring the Network Machine of the [[Pokémon Network Center]] to operational status. This stipulation may or may not have been added due to the addition of {{p|Wobbuffet}} to the cave's selection of wild Pokémon, and the old set of requirements that would have allowed players to enter the cave before obtaining the National Pokédex.

In Generation II, the Dungeon has collapsed, but Mewtwo's [[Berserk Gene]] has been left behind. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, however, the cave is still open. The [[Pokégear]] map mentions that it once collapsed but was rebuilt, and Mewtwo can still be found inside.

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}} map displays the Cerulean Cave as part of the Cerulean City.

===Cerulean Gym===
{{main|Cerulean Gym}}
[[File:Cerulean Gym FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Cerulean Gym in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
The Cerulean Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Cerulean City. It is based on {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Misty]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her will receive the {{Badge|Cascade}}. Other known Gym members include {{tc|Swimmer}} Briana, Swimmer Parker, Swimmer Diana, Swimmer Luis, and {{tc|Picnicker}} Diana. The Cerulean Gym is designed like an indoor swimming pool, with platforms above the water for the player to walk on. There are no puzzles to solve in this Gym.

===Berry Powder man===
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a man in a cottage in the northern part of town who concocts a variety of medicines from [[Berry Powder]] and will exchange Berry Powder for [[herbal medicine]] and [[vitamin]]s. When he is first visited, he gives the player the [[Powder Jar]], and will ask the player to make some Berry Powder from the new machine that crushes Berries in the [[Pokémon Center]] upstairs. There is also a sign on his wall that keeps a record of pressing-speed ranking the player achieves.

===Gym Badge man===
In Generations I and III, there is a man in a cottage in the northwest corner of the city who will explain exactly what the effects are for each of the eight {{DL|Badge|Indigo League}} [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. He also has a small backyard, where a [[Rare Candy]] can be found hidden among the flowers.

===Dontae/Melanie's house===
There is a residential house located to the west of the Pokémon Center.

In Pokémon Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, Crystal, FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, this house belongs to Dontae and his wife. In Generation I and III, Dontae will offer to trade the player his {{p|Jynx}} for their {{p|Poliwhirl}}. In Generation II and IV, he is satisfied with the Pokémon he has received from trades over the years.

In Pokémon Yellow, this house belongs to [[Melanie]]. She is taking care of an {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Bulbasaur}}. If the player's [[friendship]] with the [[Red's Pikachu (game)|starter Pikachu]] is 147 or higher, she will offer to give the player her Bulbasaur.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Melanie once again inhabits the house. She will give the player a Bulbasaur if they have caught at least 30 Pokémon.

===Burglarized house===
In Generations I, III, and VII, a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} stole the [[TM]] for {{m|Dig}} from its owner, leaving the house a mess. After defeating the Grunt, the player will receive the TM from him. The owner then says that since the TM was stolen, he'll find a way of teaching Dig to {{p|Diglett}} without a TM.

The house is initially inaccessible because a Cerulean {{tc|Police Officer}} ([[Officer Jenny]] in {{v2|Yellow}} and Generation VII) blocks the door. The officer will only move aside from the door after the player talks to [[Bill]] at his [[Sea Cottage]] on {{rt|25|Kanto}}.

In Generations II and IV, the man is actively fighting against robbers so the situation that occurred to him and his wife three years prior does not happen again. When he learns about the Team Rocket Grunt who stole the [[Machine Part]], he gets upset and claims that he won't even reconsider not reporting the Team Rocket Grunt if he turns out to be the same thief from three years ago.

A notice outside the house in [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} reads:

{{sign|DPtip|header}}
{{sign|DPtip|There's a notice here...}}
{{sign|DPtip|Stamp out thievery and make the city}}
{{sign|DPtip|a friendlier, more cheerful place!}}
{{sign|DPtip|Cerulean Police}}
{{sign|DPtip|footer}}

===Move Tutor===
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a Trainer in the [[Pokémon Center]] will teach the player's {{ga|Partner Pokémon}} [[signature moves|exclusive moves]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Cerulean City appears on the Red and Blue tables; catchable Pokémon include {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Jynx}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Cerulean City anime.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Cerulean City first appeared in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where {{Ash}} decided to challenge the [[Cerulean Gym]]. At the Gym, he found out that {{Gary}} and the other two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Pallet Town]] had already beaten the Gym. As their only remaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} after those challengers was a {{p|Goldeen}}, [[the Sensational Sisters]] were ready to give Ash the {{badge|Cascade}} without a {{pkmn|battle}}, until {{an|Misty}} appeared, revealing herself to be one of the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]s as well. Ash and Misty started a Gym battle, but just when Ash was about to win, {{TRT}} busted their way into the Gym, interrupting the battle. After Team Rocket had been defeated, the Sensational Sisters decided to give Ash the Cascade Badge as thanks for saving the Gym.

In ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', Misty reluctantly agreed to help her sisters in a new underwater ballet performance at Cerulean City. However, in the middle of the act, Team Rocket appeared again, once more trying to steal the Gym's Pokémon. A battle between Ash and company and Team Rocket ensued, during which Cerulean Gym's {{p|Seel}} evolved into a {{OBP|Dewgong|Cerulean Gym}}. Once the situation was solved and Ash and company prepared to leave, Misty left her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} at the Gym, the latter due to her sisters' request.

Several [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episodes have mostly focused on the Cerulean Gym and Misty. In ''[[HS11|A Date With Delcatty]]'', Cerulean City was revealed to have a container port, the Cerulean Marine Stadium, and a lighthouse.

In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Ash, {{ashcl}}, Misty, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} visited Cerulean City to visit the Cerulean Gym and teach Ash's [[Alola]]n friends about [[Gym]]s and [[Pokémon League]]s. To experience a Gym battle, {{an|Mallow}} and {{an|Lana}} had an unofficial Gym battle against Brock, while {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Sophocles}} had a battle against Misty. After these battles had been called off with no clear winner, {{an|Kiawe}} requested to have a serious battle against Brock, while Ash issued a similar challenge to Misty. During these battles, Brock and Misty demonstrated their new ability to use [[Mega Evolution]] by Mega Evolving their {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}, respectively. Kiawe lost his battle against Brock, while Ash managed to defeat Misty.

The {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} is also located near Cerulean City.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Cerulean City Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean City in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
Cerulean City was seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled having visited the city during his {{pkmn|journey}}. During his visit, he managed to retrieve the stolen [[TM]] for {{m|Dig}} from a member of [[Team Rocket]] and earn the {{badge|Cascade}} by defeating Misty at the Cerulean Gym.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Cerulean City briefly appeared in the beginning of ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]'' when {{ga|Green}} entered [[Kanto Route 24|Nugget Bridge]] on her way to [[Cerulean Cave]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Cerulean City Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Cerulean City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Cerulean City was first featured in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'' as the place where [[Misty]]'s mansion and the [[Cerulean Gym]] are located. Its streets surround a canal full of boats, resembling {{wp|Venice}}. After spending a night at the mansion, {{adv|Red}} and Misty trained at the Gym together for a while in order to be able to fight [[Team Rocket]] more effectively. Before departing, Red received a {{badge|Cascade}} from Misty.

===={{chap|Yellow}}====
Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', Cerulean City was attacked by an army of {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, sent there by [[Agatha]]. Misty, while protecting her Gym, found out that the [[Elite Four]] were after her Badge. After {{adv|Yellow}} defeated [[Lance]] at [[Cerise Island]], the Ghost army lost all of its strength.

===Pokémon Zensho===
Cerulean City appeared in ''[[PZ03|Cerulean City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} visited the city. Shortly after his arrival, he saved the bike shop from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, before heading to the Gym. However, before Satoshi could even properly start a battle with Misty, another Team Rocket Grunt attacked the Gym with a {{p|Gyarados}}. Satoshi defeated the Gyarados, receiving a Cascade Badge from Misty as thanks.

==Trivia==
[[File:Cerulean City Slowbro SonicBoom FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The girl commanding her Slowbro to use SonicBoom in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, a {{tc|School Kid}} with an Itemfinder{{sup/2|GSC}}/[[Dowsing Machine|Dowsing MCHN]]{{sup/4|HGSS}} hints at an item outside of [[Cerulean Cave]]. However, his machine will keep responding even after the player has picked up the item.
* The [[Badge|Gym Badge]] man is the only character in [[Generation III]] to define the {{Badge|Marsh}} and {{Badge|Volcano}} as having the effect of allowing the {{player}} to use the post-[[Generation I]] [[HM]] moves {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Waterfall}} outside of battle, since [[Sabrina]] and [[Blaine]] do not explain it themselves.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and [[Generation III]], when talked to, a girl will command her {{p|Slowbro}} to use {{m|Withdraw}} or {{m|Sonic Boom|SonicBoom}}, or to punch. However, while Slowbro learns Withdraw by leveling up and can be taught a {{cat|Punching moves|punching move}}, Slowbro is unable to learn SonicBoom by any legitimate means.
** In {{game|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the girl owns an {{p|Electrode}} instead, commanding it to use either {{m|Tackle}}, SonicBoom, or {{m|Swift}}, all being moves that Electrode can learn.
* In Generation II, Cerulean City shares its music with {{ci|Viridian}}, {{ci|Pewter}}, and {{ci|Saffron}}, instead of with [[Fuchsia City]] (which uses the [[Celadon City]] theme instead), like in all of the other games.
* In Generation I, it is possible to skip {{rt|24|Kanto}} and {{rt|25|Kanto}} by defeating Misty and [[trade|trading]] over a Pokémon that knows {{m|Cut}}. In Generation III, this is prevented by having the disobedient Slowbro block the cuttable tree south of the city until the player has received the [[S.S. Ticket]] from [[Bill]] at the [[Sea Cottage]].
* [[Cerulean City]] (in Korean), [[Violet City]] (in English) and [[Black City]] (in all languages) and are the only cities to have their names be the same as [[core series]] Pokémon games, namely [[Pokémon Violet]], [[Pokémon Black]] and [[Black 2]], and [[Pokémon Blue]] respectively. It should be noted that whereas Black City and Cerulean City appear in their respective games, Violet City does not.

'''Black City''' (Japanese: '''ブラックシティ''' ''Black City'') is a city located in the eastern part of the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Black City is exclusive to {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon Black|s}} and {{pkmn|Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2}}, and features Trainers and tasks that do not appear or occur in Pokémon White and White 2. It is located to the east of {{rt|15|Unova}}, and to the south of {{rt|14|Unova}}. If the [[Key System|Tower Key]] is transferred to Pokémon White 2, both Black City and Black Tower can be accessed.

In Pokémon Black, Black City's population changes with time. The appearance of Black City alters with the number of varying Trainers residing there. When the {{player}} enters the city for the very first time, the total number of varying Trainers is determined by the number of days it took the player to reach Black City, decreasing as time goes by. The number of overall residents can vary between 12 (minimum occupancy, at which residents only exist in the Pokémon Center and [[gate]]s) and 45 (maximum occupancy), 12 of them being Trainers at the maximum (including the two Trainers inside the marketplace, both of whom can only be battled once). In addition to the visual changes, the city's market will sell items to the player at inflated prices, dependent on which varying Trainers are in the city. The items are rare, with most being either [[Evolution stone]]s or [[valuable item]]s.

At maximum occupancy, Black City is a sprawling metropolis with many large buildings and skyscrapers. At low level occupancy, there are fewer buildings, which are smaller in size. The [[Pokémon Center]] is present regardless of how many people reside in the city.

When using the Entralink feature to visit another player's [[White Forest]], the player can invite people that have left to come to Black City to increase occupancy; this can enable new items to be purchased and new varying Trainers to battle.

In Pokémon Black 2, population instead increases as areas of [[Black Tower]] are completed.

In Pokémon Black, Black City has a total population of 12 at the lowest possible occupancy level or at the maximum occupancy level of 45.

Each [[Non-player character|NPC]] Trainer resident has a set number of points, which will change depending on certain functions that can be performed by the player. If an NPC's points value reaches 0, then they will leave Black City. The factors involved in this are as follows:

{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{black color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{black color dark}}"
|-
! Function
! Value
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 1 day passes
| -5 points (whole city)
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Player enters area
| +3 points (whole city)
|-
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | Player battles character
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | +10 points (the character battled)
|}{{-}}

New NPCs can be brought into Black City by inviting them from [[White Forest]] via the [[Entralink]].

===Pokémon Black 2===
In Pokémon Black 2, population instead increases as areas of Black Tower are completed, with a minimum of 26.

==Marketplace==
===Pokémon Black===
In Pokémon Black, the Black City market is only present if the player has a number of four Trainers or more in Black City. Items sold here vary according to the current residents of Black City. Bargain Pass Powers will not affect the prices of items sold here.

A man at the back of the building will keep track of how many times the player has defeated a Trainer in Black City (not counting the two inside the market). Every time ten Trainers have been defeated, the man will reward the player with {{pdollar}}10,000. If Black City is kept at its maximum occupancy, the player can reap this monetary reward on a daily basis.

The items sold at the Market mostly correlate with the items dropped by the same resident in White Forest.

==Trivia==
* In Pokémon Black, if the player invites people from either Black City or White Forest to go to their game and talks to them, they will say they met the player from the game they came from, even if that player hasn't reached that location yet.
* Black City's German name, Schwarze Stadt, is alliterative. It shares this trait with its counterpart, White Forest.
* [[Black City]] (in all languages), [[Violet City]] (in English) and [[Cerulean City]] (in Korean) are the only cities to have their names be the same as [[core series]] Pokémon games, namely [[Pokémon Violet]], [[Pokémon Black]] and [[Black 2]], and [[Pokémon Blue]] respectively. It should be noted that whereas Black City and Cerulean City appear in their respective games, Violet City does not.

[[File:Violet City GS.png|220px|thumb|Violet City in Gold and Silver]]
'''Violet City''' (Japanese: '''キキョウシティ''' ''Kikyō City'') is located in central [[Johto]]. It is the third city encountered in Johto by the {{player}}. [[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Violet City in order to win the {{badge|Zephyr}} from [[Falkner]], the Violet [[Gym Leader]], who specializes in {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The city has three entrances, one from the east via {{rt|31|Johto}}, one from the south via {{rt|32|Johto}}, and one from the west via {{rt|36|Johto}}.

==Slogan==
'''''The City of Nostalgic Scents''''' (Japanese, Generation II: '''なつかしい　かおりのする　まち''' ''The city of nostalgic scents.''; Generation IV: '''なつかしい　かおりの　まち''' ''The city of nostalgic scents.'')

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon School===
{{main|Pokémon academy}}
Located in the center of the town is the [[Pokémon academy|Pokémon School]] (Japanese: ポケモンじゅく ''Pokémon {{wp|Juku}}''), where prospective Trainers learn how to raise Pokémon. On the blackboard are descriptions of the various [[status condition]]s which can affect Pokémon.

The Pokémon School is also a place where students and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can learn more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most beginning Trainers visit at least one of them, and common Trainers classes found studying at these locations are {{tc|Lass}}es, {{tc|School Kid}}s, and {{tc|Scientist}}s.

It is run by [[Earl Dervish]], who at first is located next to the [[Gym]], but will show the {{player}} where the Pokémon School is located while he twirls around at every turn along the way.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it is known as Earl's Pokémon Academy (Japanese: ジョバンニせんせいのポケモンじゅく ''Prof. Giovanni's Pokémon {{wp|Juku}}'').

===Sprout Tower===
[[File:Sprout Tower HGSS.png|thumb|right|The Sprout Tower in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
{{main|Sprout Tower}}
The large tower in the northern part of the town is a tall and wobbling pagoda, run by {{tc|Sage}}s who train {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, all the while teaching people that all living beings coexist through cooperation. These monks mostly train {{p|Bellsprout}}, although occasionally use {{p|Hoothoot}}. As {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battle, the flexible pagoda shakes from side to side; this flexibility protects the tall tower from earthquakes. This technology is now known as ''{{jwp|柔構造|jūkōzō}}'', and is applied to hundreds of modern high-rise buildings. Many people believe that a hundred-foot Bellsprout was used to make the swaying pillar.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, after the player defeats [[Li]], they will receive {{HM|05|Flash}}, while in Generation IV they will instead receive {{TM|70|Flash}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player must defeat Li in order to challenge the Violet Gym. {{p|Rattata}} can be found in the tower, as can {{p|Gastly}} at [[Time|night]].

===Violet Gym===
[[File:Violet Gym HGSS.png|thumb|right|200px|The Violet Gym in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
{{main|Violet Gym}}
The Violet Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Violet City. It is based on {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Falkner]]. Trainers who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Zephyr}}. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Gym structure was very basic. The path is held on a raised platform, with a large drop to either side of the path. The path creates an "S" shape as it winds around toward the Gym Leader. At the tips of the "S" there are two Trainers that are both unavoidable. After Falkner is defeated, he will give the player the Zephyr Badge, {{TM|31|Mud-Slap}}, and the ability to use {{m|Flash}} outside of battle.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Gym appears to be redesigned as to another perspective. Trainers will start on plain ground other than a raised floor, along with a wooden platform that will lift Trainers up to the upper level, where a structure similar to the previous generation awaits. A Trainer waits at each end of the "S", but unlike in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, both Trainers can be avoided by walking on the glass tiles that encircle the field. After Falkner is defeated, he will give the player the Zephyr Badge, {{TM|51|Roost}}, and the ability to use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle.

===In-game trade===
One of the few [[In-game trade#Generation IV|in-game trades]] can be found in Violet City. In a southwestern house lives a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named Rudy (Japanese: コンタ ''Konta''), called Kyle in the English releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, who is willing to give up his {{p|Onix}}, nicknamed Rocky (Japanese: ブルブル ''Buruburu''), in exchange for a {{p|Bellsprout}}. This Onix will be holding a [[Bitter Berry]]{{sup/2|GSC}} or [[Persim Berry]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}.

===Berries===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a {{tc|Juggler}} found near the [[Pokémon Center]] will hand out three different types of Berries each time he gets one [[Shard]] from the player. The types of Berries given to the player depend on the shard's color. There is another Juggler that will trade a shard for Berries in [[Fuchsia City]].

===Primo===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a man named [[Primo]] appears in the [[Pokémon Center]] and introduces himself as the host of the [[Teachy TV]] program from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. He will offer the player the chance to [[easy chat system|give their opinion on him]] as he is apparently a celebrity. If the [https://www.pokewiki.de/Spezial:Geheimcode-Generator?uselang=en right combination of phrases] is selected, the player can get secret {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|wallpaper}}s or [[Pokémon Egg]]s.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
Violet City in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} has a population of 41.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Violet City's population is 52, making it the second-largest city in [[Johto]]. However, it is dwarfed in comparison to Johto's largest, [[Goldenrod City]]. Goldenrod actually has approximately double Violet City's population.

==Walking Pokémon effects==
When interacting with [[walking Pokémon]] in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon may occasionally show an altered mood specific to this location.
*Pokémon School: The walking Pokémon stares intently at the blackboard, but doesn't seem to understand. While standing in front of the trading boys, it will peek in on the two.
*Inside the house with a {{p|Pidgey}}: The walking Pokémon greets Strawberry the Pidgey.

==In the anime==
[[File:Violet City anime.png|thumb|250px|Violet City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first entered Violet City in ''[[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]]''. While walking through its suburban outskirts, two children took a particular liking to {{AP|Pikachu}}. After {{an|Brock}} volunteered the group, they spent the day at [[Earl Dervish]]'s [[Pokémon academy|Pokémon School]] teaching the children about Pokémon. They later joined [[Miss Priscilla]] and her class for an excursion to the [[Sprout Tower]] and stopped {{TRT}}'s plan of sending the tower into orbit. In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', Ash challenged [[Falkner]] at the [[Violet Gym]] and defeated him, earning his first [[Johto]] [[Badge]].

In ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Team Rocket inadvertently did some good after their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Arbotank]], controlled by [[Misty's Togepi]] and a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sentret}}, drilled a tunnel through a mountain, helping to halve the travel time between Violet City and a nearby mountain town.

In ''[[AG184|Strategy Tomorrow - Comedy Tonight!]]'', Ash and his friends met {{OBP|Ada|AG184}}, a traveling comedian, on her way to the Comedy Grand Prix in Violet City with her {{p|Chatot}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Violet City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Violet City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Violet City first appeared in ''[[PS096|Number One Donphan]]'', where {{adv|Gold}} rescued [[Earl Dervish]]'s package from a group of rampaging {{p|Donphan}}. In ''[[PS097|Bellsprout Rout]]'' and ''[[PS098|Totodile Rock]]'', Gold confronted {{adv|Silver}} at [[Sprout Tower]].

In ''[[PS105|Smeargle Smudge]]'', the [[Pokémon Association]] appointed [[Falkner]] as the new [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Violet Gym]] after {{adv|Walker|his father}}, the previous Violet Gym Leader, had disappeared and left the post.

In ''[[PS120|Surrounded by Staryu]]'', {{adv|Crystal}} saved {{adv|Bill}} from a herd of {{p|Staryu}} in Violet City by {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} them.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Violet City first appeared in ''[[GB02|Falkner The Bird Keeper's Challenge!!]]'', when {{GnB|Gold}} arrived there to challenge [[Falkner]]. In ''[[GB03|The Legendary Pokémon Appears!]]'', just after Gold had defeated Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}} appeared and joined the battle on Falkner's side. Soon afterwards, a {{TP|Gold|Pikachu}} fell out of a [[Time Capsule|time tunnel]] and joined Gold. Although Gold was unable to defeat Articuno, it eventually chose to leave the battle, which Falkner saw as a sign of it admitting defeat, so he handed Gold a {{badge|Zephyr}} as a reward.

In ''[[GB04|Let's Aim For The Goal!]]'', Gold met [[Mr. Pokémon]] and [[Professor Oak]], the latter of whom gave him a [[Pokédex]] before he headed for [[Azalea Town]].

==Trivia==
* Violet City is named Mauville in French; in English, this name is used for [[Mauville City|a city]] in the [[Hoenn]] region.
* The song ''[[Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Sevii Islands: Six & Seven Islands]]'' is a remix of the song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Violet City]]'' from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and can be heard on [[Six Island (town)|Six]] and {{OBP|Seven Island|town}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* [[Violet City]] (in English), [[Black City]] (in all languages) and [[Cerulean City]] (in Korean) are the only cities to have their names be the same as [[core series]] Pokémon games, namely [[Pokémon Violet]], [[Pokémon Black]] and [[Black 2]], and [[Pokémon Blue]] respectively. It should be noted that whereas Black City and Cerulean City appear in their respective games, Violet City does not.
