Vermilion City (Japanese: クチバシティ Kuchiba City) is a city in Kanto.

Situated near a sea inlet to the south, it serves as a popular sea port for ships such as the S.S. Anne. Vermilion Harbor is a home port for many ships. The S.S. Anne sails around the world and returns to Vermilion once a year. The S.S. Aqua sails from Olivine City in Johto to Vermilion Harbor. The Seagallop Ferries sail regularly to all of the Sevii Islands. Aside from the harbor, the other exits to the city are Route 11 and Diglett's Cave to the east. North of the city is Route 6.

Slogan

The Port of Exquisite Sunsets (Japanese, Generations I-III, VII: クチバはオレンジ夕焼けの色 Kuchiba is the color of orange sunsets.; Generation IV: ゆうやけいろのみなとまち The sunset-colored port town.)

Places of interest

Vermilion City is home to the "Lightning American" Lt. Surge, the Leader of the Electric-specialist Gym. The people in the town are careful about pollution, as they are afraid that an infestation of Grimer could occur if the seas were ever polluted, as Celadon City suffers from this in Generations II and IV. In Generations I-IV, Wild Pokémon appear in the sea around the city.

Vermilion is also home to the Fan Club Chairman. He can be found in the Pokémon Fan Club house located just slightly north of the Gym. By talking to him, the player can obtain a voucher for a free bike,^RBYFRLG a Rare Candy,^GSCHGSS or special clothing sets.^PE

Pokémon Fan Club

Main article: Pokémon Fan Club

The Vermilion City's Fan Club in FireRed and LeafGreen

The Kanto chapter of the Pokémon Fan Club is located in Vermilion. The Pokémon Fan Club is an organization spread throughout the Pokémon world, with at least one Club House in nearly every region. The Fan Club is a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon.

By talking to the Fan Club Chairman he will start a long talk with the player. He talks about his two favorite Pokémon, Rapidash and Fearow at length and then gives the player a voucher to get a bicycle,^RBYFRLG a Rare Candy,^GSCHGSS or clothing sets for the player based on Pikachu^P or Eevee,^E or clothing sets for both the player and their Partner Pokémon based on Raichu^P or the Eeveelutions.^E In Pokémon Yellow he got a new hobby - taking Pokémon photos. The big photos of his Rapidash and Fearow can be seen on the walls of the clubhouse.

Vermilion Gym

Main article: Vermilion Gym

Vermilion Gym in FireRed and LeafGreen

The Vermilion Gym is the official Gym of Vermilion City. Its Gym Leader, Lt. Surge, focuses on Electric-type Pokémon. Trainers who defeat him receive the Thunder Badge. The Vermilion Gym appears in all games set in the Kanto region, appearing much the same in each: the main room is filled with 15 trash cans, and Trainers are scattered about this room. Beyond this room is another, guarded by electric doors in Generation I, and an electric fence in Generation III and VII. The only way to get in the final room in these generations, where Lt. Surge is located, is to find two switches underneath the trash cans. If the first switch was found, but the player incorrectly guessed the second one, the traps would reset. In Generation II, these traps are not turned on. After Lt. Surge is defeated, he will give the player the Thunder Badge, TM24 (Thunderbolt)^RBY/TM34 (Shock Wave)^FRLGHGSS/TM36 (Thunderbolt),^PE Surge's Autograph,^PE and the ability to use Fly outside of battle.^RBYFRLG

Construction site

In the northeastern part of the city, there is an old man whose Machop is preparing a plot of land for construction of a building. They still have not finished three years after he started in Generation I, as he does not have enough money to begin building. This man's Machop can cause a glitch in Generation II. In Generation IV, the construction site consumes most of the north-eastern side of the city, playing a slightly bigger role in the game; there are many breakable rocks surrounding the building site that conceal many hidden items such as Shards, Heart Scales, and other valuable items.

In-game trade

In one of the houses south and a little east of the Pokémon Center is a girl that wants to trade the player a Farfetch'd for a Pidgey (in Japanese Blue) or Spearow.^RBYFRLG The Farfetch'd will be nicknamed "Ch'ding" in Generation III or "Dux" in Generation I, and it will be holding a Stick in Generation III. The OT will be "Elyssa" and its ID will be 08810. The Pokémon's level will be the same as the one that the player traded.

Although the sprite and name of the owner are female, Ch'ding's original Trainer data defines Elyssa as male, likely as an error. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this is undifferentiable from a female original Trainer, but if Ch'ding is traded to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald or transferred forward to Generation IV (via Pal Park), the OT name is shown colored blue.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, this house is occupied by a Gentleman who owns a Farfetch'd, again nicknamed Dux like the girl from Generation I's Farfetch'd, but he instead intends to catch Spearow himself.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee, a Hiker in the Pokémon Center will trade an Alolan form Geodude for a Geodude from Kanto. This can be done repeatedly.

Fishing Brother

In Generations I and III, a man known as the Fishing Guru can be found in Vermilion City who gives away an Old Rod to the player. Later (in Generations II and IV), he is known as the Fishing Dude and claims to be the eldest of the Fishing Brothers.

Sleeping Pokémon notice

There's a notice in Generations I, III, and VII near the entrance to Diglett's Cave about a sleeping Pokémon that's blocking Route 12, advising people wishing to go to Lavender Town to detour through the Rock Tunnel instead in the meantime.

Demographics

Pokémon Red and Blue

In Pokémon Red and Blue, the population of Vermilion City is 25 (not including the passengers on the S.S. Anne).

Pokémon Yellow

In Pokémon Yellow, the population of Vermilion City has increased to 26 (not including the passengers on the S.S. Anne). This is because Officer Jenny has been added.

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the population of Vermilion City is 30. The increase in population is possibly due to the addition of the harbor building.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Vermilion City has a population of 29 (not including the passengers on the S.S. Anne).

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the population of Vermilion City is 34; the population has increased by five since Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, possibly due to the addition of the harbor building.
