Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough/Section 6: Difference between revisions

Welcome to {{ci|Goldenrod}}, the largest metropolis in Johto and sister city to {{ci|Saffron}} in Kanto. This sprawling city boasts several major attractions, including a Pokémon Gym, Bike Shop, Game Corner, Radio Tower, and Department Store. There is so much to do in the big city that it's easy to forget about a single shady character. But with a [[Team Rocket]] grunt keeping tabs on the Radio Tower, expect to save the city sooner or later. But first thing's first, let's see the sights!

===Bike Shop===

The [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] has moved to the city's southeast neighborhood from [[Cerulean City]] in Kanto, but demand has not been very strong. Since you're traveling so much, the owner asks to loan you a [[Bicycle]] in the hopes that the advertising will increase interest, and business will pick up. Riding your new bike is faster than traveling on foot, and he gains new customers—everybody's happy!

===Game Corner===

Unlike {{ci|Celadon}}'s [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]], this one has no secret entrance to an underground [[Team Rocket|Rocket]] base. Unfortunately, the games are off-limits without a [[Coin Case]], so Trainers who want to try their luck will have to find one first. After doing so, coins can be purchased at 50 for {{pdollar}}1000, or 500 for {{pdollar}}10,000. Leave the Game Corner for the southwest, and enter the building marked ''Underground Entrance''.

===Goldenrod Underground===

The [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] runs north-south under the west side of the city, with a small access hallway leading to the basement of the Department Store. The underground hallway widens just beyond the first two Trainers, allowing more room for the three shops here.

====Bargain shop====

The northern bargain shop is only open on Monday mornings, 4am to 9am. This merchant deals in valuable items; while having no use themselves, they can be resold elsewhere for decent profit. Having some of these items on-hand will help replenish your money if you are defeated in battle.

====Pokémon Salon====

The [[Haircut brothers|Pokémon Salon]], the center shop, is operated by two brothers. Their services will raise a Pokémon's [[friendship]], though at different rates. The younger brother{{dotw|Su}}{{dotw|We}}{{dotw|Fr}} charges {{PDollar}}300, while the older brother{{dotw|Tu}}{{dotw|Th}}{{dotw|Sa}} charges {{PDollar}}500. Their shop is closed on Mondays.

====Herb Shop====

The [[Herb Shop]], the southern-most shop, sells medicinal herbs that heal or revive Pokémon and are cheaper than their traditional counterparts. The downside is that Pokémon do not enjoy their bitter taste, so their friendship rating will decrease slightly as a result. This shop is only open on weekends.

After meeting him in Ecruteak, he returns home to {{ci|Goldenrod}}. Stop by his house afterwards to receive a {{p|Eevee|gift}} from him.

===Name Rater===

The [[Name Rater]] lives in the house to the west of the Goldenrod Gym. Like his counterpart in [[Lavender Town]], the Name Rater evaluates a Pokémon's nickname, and allows Trainers to think up new nicknames for them.

===Radio Tower===

The [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] stands tall directly aside of the [[Magnet Train|train station]]. The man behind the counter runs a lottery, and hands out prizes if any numbers on your ticket match your ID number. Speak with the woman behind the counter to participate in a quiz, with a [[Pokégear]] {{DL|Pokégear|Radio|Radio Card}} as a prize. Once installed, Trainers can tune into the following programs.

===Magnet Train Station===

Next to the [[Johto Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] is the [[Magnet Train]] Station. Currently shut down, this bullet train normally [[Transportation in Pokémon|runs]] between Johto's {{ci|Goldenrod}} and Kanto's {{ci|Saffron}} twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The other major method of travel between regions—sailing on the [[S.S. Aqua]]—runs much less frequently, making the [[Magnet Train]] the ideal method of transportation.

===Goldenrod Department Store===

Located just east of the Pokémon Center, the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] is the largest shop in Johto. The behemoth building consists of eight floors, including the rooftop and basement, and has a wide array of items up for sale. With so many supplies at your disposal, you should have little trouble at the [[Goldenrod Gym]].

====Basement====

While there are no shops in the basement, you can take the elevator downstairs to find an [[Ultra Ball]], a [[Burn Heal]], and an [[Ether]].

====3F====

The Battle Connection sells temporary stat-enhancing items.

====4F====

A pharmacy known as the Medicine Box sells [[Vitamin|permanent stat-enhancing items]].

====5F====

====6F====

Like at the [[Celadon Department Store]], the Rooftop Square has vending machines that dispense tasty, health-restoring [[Drink|drinks]].

The [[Goldenrod Gym]] is devoted to {{type|Normal}} Pokémon. It's a good idea to trade for that {{p|Machop}} in the Department Store, as only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon get a power bonus when battling Normal types. {{t|Ghost}}s like {{p|Gastly}} cannot be hit by Normal moves, but need a non-Ghost-type attack to damage Normal-type Pokémon. [[Whitney]]'s {{p|Miltank}} can be very difficult to defeat; in addition to having high Defense and Speed, it can use {{m|Milk Drink}} to restore its high HP. As Miltank is female, its {{m|Attract}} move prevents male Pokémon from attacking 50% of the time. The best strategy is to use status ailments; either {{status|poison}} it and bide your time, or put it to {{status|sleep}} and chip away at it.

[[Whitney]] sobs uncontrollably when she loses, ignoring you altogether. Unable to receive the Badge, you turn to leave when Lass Bridget steps in. She speaks to Whitney, and the Gym Leader finally gives up the {{badge|Plain}}, which gives a {{stat|Speed}} boost to your Pokémon and enables the use {{m|Strength}} in the field. She also gives you {{TM|45|Attract}} as a prize.

Before you leave for {{rt|35|Johto}}, stop by the flower shop just east of the Gym. The two women inside talk about an {{p|Sudowoodo|odd tree}} on {{rt|36|Johto}} that actually squirms around to avoid contact with water. One woman gives you a [[Squirt Bottle|Squirtbottle]] so you can see it for yourself.
