Anne|Rumors|truck}} appears as scenery in the [[S.S. Anne]]'s port, though it is only visible if the player actively seeks it out. Due to the scarcity of scenery in the Generation I games, as they were on a less powerful system, rumors began to spring up about its purpose, although it is ultimately purely cosmetic. It reappeared in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, in which a {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lava Cookie}} can be found hidden on the southern end of the same pier as it. | ||

Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral {{wp|cinnabar}}. This explains why Vermilion City is colored orange while Cinnabar Island is colored red in the [[Generation I]] games when played with the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements available in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}} (including the [[Virtual Console]] release). | ||
