Gen II
Cianwood City in Gold and Silver

Cianwood City (Japanese: タンバシティ Tanba City) is located in on the far western edge of Johto, apparently on a totally different landmass than the rest of the region. Due to Cianwood City being at a dead end location in the Johto region, it was not a popular destination. However, in Generation IV it became a notable destination due to the addition of the Safari Zone located to the west of the city.

Tales of Lugia and the whirlpools it creates circulate among the sailors that stop in this port town.

Slogan

Generation II

A Port Surrounded by Rough Seas! (Japanese: あらなみに かこまれた うみのまち A sea town surrounded by rough seas.)

Generation IV

A Port of Crashing Waves (Japanese: あらなみに よせる うみのまち A sea town of crashing waves.)

Places of interest

Kirk's house

Kirk (Japanese: セイジ Seiji), known as Mania (Japanese: マニア Mania) in Generation II, is a PokéManiac who lives in the house directly south from the Gym. Before the player meets him, he is bullied by Silver into giving up his rare Pokémon—Sneasel. To prevent Silver from coming back to steal any more Pokémon, Kirk wants to give the player his Shuckle, nicknamed Shuckie (Japanese: ネッシー Nessie), for safekeeping. This Shuckle has Kirk's Trainer ID number and will act like an outsider in battle.

He will later ask for Shuckie back. If the player agrees, he will let him/her keep it if it has high friendship; otherwise he will take it back. Before taking back, he will ask the player to take the Berry Juice held by Shuckie. However, he will accuse the player of stealing if Shuckie is not returned.

Photo Studio/Cameron's house

In the Generation II games, the Photo Studio (Japanese: タンバしゃしんオヤジ Tanba's photographer) is where pictures of Pokémon can be taken. This is meant to work with the Game Boy Printer peripheral. The player can print out their Pokédex or the stats of one specific Pokémon. Mail can also be printed.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, this is the house of Cameron, the Photographer (Japanese: しゃしんオヤジのいえ photographer's house). He has a camera set up outside so the player can take a picture with their party for their Photo Album, which can be seen on the PC. One of Cameron's relatives resides inside the house.

Cianwood City Pharmacy

Cianwood City Pharmacy (Japanese: タンバくすりや Tanba Pharmacy) is a small pharmacy that is over 500 years old. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. Jasmine will ask the player to fetch her Ampharos some medicine from there.

After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that Potions and Full Heals are in stock. If the player goes to Cianwood City before speaking with Jasmine at the Glitter Lighthouse in Olivine City, Potions and Full Heals will be in stock and the SecretPotion will be unavailable.

Area north of the city

Area north of Cianwood City in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In the very north of the city, there is a small area with a ledge where Suicune will be at a certain point in Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver. Eusine will appear after it runs away, and will battle the player in an effort to prove himself to Suicune.

Poké Seer

In the very north of the city, there is a small house called the Poké Seer (Japanese: おみとおし seer) with an elderly woman who, in Pokémon Crystal, can tell where and when a Pokémon in the Trainer's party has been caught. She will also comment about how much Pokémon's level has grown from when it was caught.

Unlike in the Generation III and later games, the player is unable to find out where they caught their Pokémon by looking at their Pokémon's status; hence, the Poké Seer is the only way the player can tell where they caught their Pokémon. If a Pokémon traded from another game or an in-game traded Pokémon is shown to her, she will not be able to identify any details about it.

Cianwood Gym

Main article: Cianwood Gym

The Cianwood Gym is the official Gym of Cianwood City. It is based on Fighting-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Chuck, whom the Trainer will see either lifting a boulder in Generation II or meditating under a waterfall in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Trainers who defeat him receive the Storm Badge. Obtaining this Badge is usually the only reason that people travel to Cianwood City. Outside the Gym is Chuck's wife, who will give the player HM02 (Fly) after defeating Chuck.

The Gym guide for the Cianwood Gym is inside the local Pokémon Center rather than the Gym itself. This is played for humor, with the guide claiming that he is afraid of the Gym's tough Trainers.

Entrance to Cliff Edge Gate

Main article: Cliff Edge Gate

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, to the west of Cianwood City is an entrance to Cliff Edge Gate, a small cave located between the city and Route 47, which leads to the Safari Zone. The entrance is initially blocked but the player will be able to go through once Jasmine's Amphy is healed in Olivine City.

Demographics

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Cianwood City's population is 19.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Cianwood City has a population of 27. This makes it an average-sized city. It has little immigration, because of its remote position in Johto. Cianwood City is strongly related to Olivine City, as the only route to Cianwood is via Olivine.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a Safari Zone was added to the west of Cianwood City, meaning that those heading for the Safari Zone would have to pass through Cianwood City.
