===Tourist Spot: Goldenrod City===
===Character of the Day: Candice===
* '''Goldenrod City''' (Japanese: '''コガネシティ''' ''Kogane City'') is a sprawling metropolis located in western [[Johto]]. It is the largest city in the region, rivaling [[Celadon City]], the largest city in [[Kanto]]. Goldenrod City is the third largest city in the Pokémon world, behind [[Unova]]'s [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]].
* '''Candice''' (Japanese: '''スズナ''' ''Suzuna'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Snowpoint City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Snowpoint Gym]]. She hands out the {{badge|Icicle}} and [[TM72]] ({{m|Avalanche}}) to Trainers who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.  
* Major attractions for Trainers include the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the city's [[Goldenrod Department Store|Department Store]], Game Corner, Name Rater, [[Magnet Train]], Global Terminal (HeartGold and SoulSilver only) and Gym.
* She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect an Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of [[Pryce|cold and distant]]. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.  
* The city is home to [[Whitney]] the Goldenrod City [[Gym Leader]]. She uses {{type|Normal}} Pokémon and gives out the {{badge|Plain}} to trainers who defeat her.
* Candice made her debut appearance in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where she was revealed to be a teacher in Snowpoint City's Trainers' School. She is also a childhood friend of [[Zoey]] and calls her by the nickname "Zo-Zo" (Japanese: '''ノゾチ''' ''Nozotchi'').
* The player can receive a [[Bicycle]] at the [[Miracle Cycle]] for free. At first the owner loans the bike to the player to advertise it as the business doesn't look good for the shop thanks to its obscure location. After a while, the owner will call the player to tell him/her to keep it as sales and customers have greatly improved.
* {{Ash}} battled her in a 4 on 4 battle in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'' where he was able to defeat her an earn himself his seventh Badge.
* Goldenrod City first appears in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in the city so Ash may win his third Johto League Gym Badge. However, the Gym is closed, so the gang decides to explore the city, specifically the Goldenrod Galleria.
* She first appeared in a [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga when she saved {{adv|Platinum}} after she was skiing on {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} and angered a pack of {{p|Graveler}}. Platinum then challenged her to a Gym battle and won.
* Goldenrod is the hometown of [[Bill]], the inventor of both Kanto's and Johto's Pokémon Storage System, as well as the rest of his family, who lives in a small house near the southern entrance to Goldenrod Tunnel. However, some of his family also lives in [[Fuchsia City]] and his grandfather lives in Sea Cottage on [[Kanto Route 25|Route 25]].
* Candice has appeared on two [[Froslass GL (Rising Rivals 6)|TCG]] [[Mamoswine GL (Rising Rivals 27)|cards]] in the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} set. She has yet to have her own card.
* Although not featured directly, Goldenrod City has appeared in the background of a few cards starting in the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. For example, {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Clefairy|60}} is featured in front of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and the [[Magnet Train]] and {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Chansey|58}} is featured in the [[Goldenrod Department Store]].
* Candice is the only Gym Leader from Sinnoh that Ash did not have a 3-on-3 battle with. Instead, it was a 4-on-4.
