Places of interest

Saffron Gym

Main article: Saffron Gym

Sabrina the Template:Type2 Gym leader. She is a user of Template:Type2 Pokémon.

Pokémon Contest Hall

Pokémon Coordinators come to the Saffron City Contest Hall to take part in Pokémon Contests.

It only appears in the anime, when May competed in the Saffron City Contest.

Fighting Dojo

Main article: Fighting Dojo

In addition to Sabrina's Template:Type2 Gym, there is also a secondary gym, the Fighting Dojo, which has Template:Type2s, and where, if the Karate Master Kiyo/Koichi is defeated, the player can obtain either Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee in Generation I and Generation III. It is stated in-game that there were two official gyms, both giving badges, however after a battle in which the Psychic gym won, it lost its official status.

The Dojo is closed in Generation II, because the leader is training in Johto's Mount Mortar. In Generation IV it is open, but holds a different purpose: all the Gym Leaders of Johto and Kanto will come here from time to time for rematch battles with the player.

Magnet Train station

In Generation II and Generation IV, the Magnet Train runs from Saffron City to Goldenrod City in Johto, connecting the two regions. It is one of the few methods players can use to travel from region to region. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Vermilion City Gym Leader Lt. Surge will come here and offer to trade his Pikachu for the player's Pikachu. This Pikachu is notable because it originates from a different language than that of the player's game: in the Japanese release of HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is English.

Pokémon Trainer Fan Club

People gather to discuss their favorite celebrity trainers at the Pokémon Trainer Fan Club, which only exists in Generation III.

Demographics

In Super Smash Bros.

Main article: Saffron City (stage)

Saffron City appears as a playable stage, specifically the roof of Silph Co., in Super Smash Bros. In the background as well, the text Gotta Catch 'em All! and Route 5 can be seen. The part of the mountain range consisting of mountains such as Mt. Moon, Cerulean Cave and Mt. Silver can be seen north of Cerulean City. Interestingly, a minor building with some blurry text can be seen. The text seems to start with a "F", which possibly may mean that it is the Fighting Dojo. Flying Pokémon, such as Pidgeot or Butterfree can sometimes been seen.

During the intro, Pikachu can be seen lying on a Poké Ball.
