Celadon's department store is the largest building in the city, as well as the largest shop in [[Kanto]]. It is located in the northwest corner of the city. The store has two sliding door entrances, and is six stories high, including a roof level. In front of it lies a decorative fountain. Here, a receptionist welcomes customers and directs them to a board that describes the store layout. The second floor contains Top-Grade [[item]]s for Trainers. On the third floor, a man will give away {{TM|18|Counter}} in [[Generation I]], while in [[Generation III]], he becomes a [[Move Tutor]] who will teach the move to a capable Pokémon. The fourth floor contains gift people can buy for others. On the fifth floor there is a pharmacy selling Pokémon [[stat-enhancing item]]s. And finally, on the Rooftop Square, there are some vending machines and a picnic table. A thirsty Trainer will give [[TM]]s in exchange for one of the drinks. In Generation I, the Trainer trades {{TM|13|Ice Beam}} for Fresh Water, {{TM|48|Rock Slide}} for Soda Pop, and {{TM|49|Tri Attack}} for Lemonade. In Generation III, the Trainer trades {{TM|16|Light Screen}} for Fresh Water, {{TM|20|Safeguard}} for Soda Pop, and {{TM|33|Reflect}} for Lemonade.

{{main|Celadon Condominiums}}
Next to the city's [[Pokémon Center]] is the Celadon Condominiums (known as Celadon Mansion up to [[Generation IV]] due to a mistranslation), where staff members of [[Game Freak]] rent a room from an old lady. It is here that players of both the [[Generation I]] games and their {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Generation III remakes|s}} can find an {{p|Eevee}}. This is the home of the [[Game Freak]] development studio, where the lead developer will give the player a [[diploma]] that signifies that they have completed the [[National Pokédex]]. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} it has been largely renovated, with a brand new elevator system. In floor 3, the member of [[Game Freak]] standing in front of the globe gives the player a [[GB Sounds]].
Celadon Condominiums (known as Celadon Mansion prior to [[Generation IV]]) is located next to the [[Pokémon Center]].


Celadon Condominiums play a more vital role in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The player must enter the building, where, on the first floor, he/she will encounter an old woman. The old woman will give the player {{DL|Drink|Tea}}, which he/she must use to enter Saffron City. Also, if the player is pursuing the [[Fame Checker]] sidequest, the second floor proves useful as well, providing information about [[Erika]]. Going into the Condominiums from the back not only leads the player to Eevee, but to the Know-It-All as well; this [[non-player character|NPC]] provides the player with standard information concerning [[status ailment|status changes]] if the player reads the blackboard.
In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{player}} can find a Poké Ball containing an {{p|Eevee}} here. [[Game Freak]] has an office in this building, where the player can receive a [[diploma]] from the lead developer if they have completed their Pokédex.


In [[Generation II]], instead of finding an {{p|Eevee}}, a man will give {{TM|03|Curse}} away to people, however in [[Generation IV]] he now gives away the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Spell Tag}}.
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is where the player obtains the [[Tea]], which is required to enter Saffron City. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player receives the Tea from [[Brock]] in front of the building.

[[File:Celadon Game Corner Inside FRLG.png|200px|thumb|right|Celadon Game Corner]]
[[File:Celadon Game Corner Inside FRLG.png|240px|thumb|Celadon Game Corner]]
The southern part of the city caters to travelers and tourists. In addition to a hotel and a restaurant, the Game Corner is a popular spot. The citizens take pride in the city's beauty and think the casino is bad for their image. The Celadon Game Corner is one of the six Game Corners in the Pokémon world, and for a time, is run by [[Team Rocket]]. The woman at the service desk sells 50 coins for {{PDollar}}1000, and 500 coins for {{PDollar}}10,000. The option to buy 500 coins is only available in the Generation III remakes.
The Celadon Game Corner is located in the southeast of the city. It was originally run by [[Team Rocket]], being known as the Rocket Game Corner while under their management. The [[Team Rocket Hideout]] is located underneath it; the staircase to the base is revealed by pressing a switch hidden behind a poster.


The only game available is [[Slot machine|slots]], which people in the game say are rigged. There are thirty slot machines in the Game Corner, with eight of them having people already seated at them, one that is labeled "out of order," one labeled "reserved," and one where someone left their keys. Slot machines in the first generation and their [[Generation III|third generation]] remakes consist simply of inserting coins and stopping the reels with the A button.
In the Generation I to IV games, the Game Corner consists of two adjacent buildings: the Game Corner proper (the larger building on the west) and the Prize Corner (the smaller building on the east). The main building contains the casino itself, where the player can earn [[Coin (Game Corner)|Coins]]; the Prize Corner is where the player can exchange Coins for prizes, including Pokémon, [[TM]]s, and other items. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Game Corner is one building with two entrances; the space on the west side contains the {{wp|amusement arcade|arcade}} while the space on the east side is just a sitting area.


In the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} games and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat Team Rocket. By pushing a button underneath a poster, the player gains access to the [[Rocket Hideout]]. A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} is guarding the poster in question when the player first approaches it. After being defeated, the Grunt retreats into the base, leaving the poster un-guarded, and enabling the player to approach. Once the player activates a switch behind the poster, the stairs to the hideout will appear.
In Generation IV, there is a man in the Prize Corner building who can tell the player the type of their Pokémon's {{m|Hidden Power}}.


In [[Generation II]], it is no longer run by Team Rocket. The hideout is not accessible, but people have not forgotten about the terrible events that occurred. In Generation II, a Card Flip game is added, which allows players to place bets on which card a player will flip over. The deck has 24, each one with a number between 1 and 6 and a picture of one of four Pokémon ({{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Oddish}}, or {{p|Poliwag}}). Bets can be placed by single card, by single column, by single row, by a pair of columns, or by a pair of rows.
===Team Rocket Hideout===
{{main|Team Rocket Hideout}}
The Team Rocket Hideout is an underground four-floor-deep complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner. The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] in Celadon City. In the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}} games, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat Team Rocket.


In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Game Corner was again no longer run by Team Rocket, but the only game inside the building in the non-Japanese versions is the Voltorb Card Flip Game.
===Celadon Hotel===
[[File:Capsule Monsters Hotel.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s [[Capsule Monsters|concept art]] for a hotel that bears resemblance to a [[Pokémon Center]], much like the Celadon Hotel.]]
The Celadon Hotel is a luxurious hotel building located in the southeastern part of the city. The player is not able to rent a room due to all the rooms being booked. The hotel's layout is remarkably similar to a Pokémon Center. The hotel is closed in Generation II and IV.


Located right next to the Game Corner is the Rocket Prize Corner, where people can exchange coins for prizes. These prizes include [[TM]]s and other rare items. The Celadon Game Corner also trades very rare Pokémon such as {{p|Dratini}} and {{p|Porygon}} in exchange for coins. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, there is a man in this building who will tell the player the type of their Pokémon's {{m|Hidden Power}}.
In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} (but not {{game|Yellow}}), there is an {{DL|List of glitches (Generation I)|invisible PC access|invisible PC}} in the hotel; it is speculated that this is an oversight that occurred due to the interior of the hotel being created by copying a Pokémon Center's layout, but the code that allows the player to activate the PC at that position was mistakenly not removed.

The Rocket Hideout is a four-floored underground complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner. It is a secret base used by [[Team Rocket]] to facilitate and administer their operations. The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] in Celadon City. A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} is guarding the poster when the player first approaches it. After being defeated, the Grunt retreats into the base, leaving the poster unguarded, and enabling the player to approach. Once the player activates a switch behind the poster, the stairs to the hideout will appear.

In the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}} games, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat Team Rocket. The player's initial objective is to search for and obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Lift Key}} in order to activate the lift leading to [[Giovanni]]. Once battled, Giovanni will flee, leaving the [[Silph Scope]] behind.

There are spinner tiles scattered around the place. These tiles, when stepped upon, will whisk the player in the direction of the arrows depicted on them. The player will continue to travel in that direction until they hit a wall, land on another spinner (which will send them in a different direction), or land on a Stopper, a tile only used for that purpose.
 
===Celadon Hotel===
The hotel, which is located in the southeastern part of the city, is a luxurious building; the player is not able to rent a room due to the fact that there are no Pokémon allowed in the rooms. A couple is staying there on vacation at the moment; the woman has brought her younger brother, which annoys her boyfriend a bit.
 
In [[Generation I]], there is an {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|invisible PC}} in the hotel. This fact is explained by the close resemblance between the hotel and a [[Pokémon Center]]. This was less a [[glitch]] and more an oversight by the programmers, who may have forgotten to remove the code to activate the [[PC]] at that particular point, though the sprite of the PC itself is no longer there. However, it could possibly be a leftover from the prototype design of the hotel itself.

===Restaurant===
===Fortune Teller===
There's also a restaurant in the city. The {{player}} cannot eat a meal there, however.
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, on the left side of the [[Pokémon Center]] is a {{tc|Channeler}} called Madam Celadon with her {{p|Abra}}. For {{pdollar}}10,000, Madam Celadon can influence the [[Nature]] of [[wild Pokémon]] they encounter for the rest of the day. Nature is determined with two questions; the first question determining the Nature's strength, and the second determining its weakness. The following chart describes the possible results.


In [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the restaurant hosts an eatathon. In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, [[Maylene]] participates in the eatathon.

[[File:Celadon Chief House FRLG.png|thumb|right|The house with the reference to [[Glitch Trainer#Chief|Chief]] in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
In [[Generation I]] and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there's a house where a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} mentions [[Glitch Trainer#Chief|Chief]] (Japanese: '''{{tt|シルフのチーフ|Shirufu no Chīfu}}''' ''{{tt|Sylph|Silph}}'s Chief''), an unused [[Trainer class]] in the Generation I games. Also, the Grunt says Chief in capital letters, which usually denotes a word of importance in-game.


In Generation I, one of the [[Team Rocket]] Grunts incorrectly uses the overworld sprite of a {{tc|Sailor}}. This was corrected in FireRed and LeafGreen.

Celadon City's large population is partly due to the [[Department Store]] and the Team Rocket Hideout.

Between [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, there have being some little and unnoticeable changes to Celadon City. Mostly, there are only aesthetic changes between building designs. A fountain has been added to the western side of the city. The small pond in the center of the city now has small hints of pollution, with {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Koffing}} appearing on rare occasions, as an allusion to [[Generation II|the previous generation]].


In [[Generation II]], Celadon City has changed quite a bit. Some buildings have been removed and some have been added. There is a café located on the eastern side of town, and the Department Store has been moved the far western side of town. Like Generation III, [[Generation IV]] has the added fountain to the western side of the city. The small pond that isolates the house in the center of the town has been extended southward with a bridge going across it.

Celadon City first appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited it so that Ash could earn his fifth [[Badge]] at the Celadon Gym. However, due to him insulting the perfumes at a local store managed by [[Gym Leader]] [[Erika]], the Gym Trainers refused to let Ash enter the Gym out of spite. Desperate to earn his Badge, Ash reluctantly teamed up with {{TRT}} and snuck into the Gym disguised as a girl named "{{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}". Although his disguise was soon found out, Erika still accepted his challenge for a battle, which ended up being interrupted when Team Rocket set the Gym on fire. After the fire had been put out, Erika gave Ash a {{badge|Rainbow}} as thanks for saving her {{p|Gloom}} from the flames.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Celadon Skyline.png|thumb|200px|right|Celadon City in the anime]]
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} was briefly seen visiting Celadon City in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. After defeating Erika and earning the Rainbow Badge, he followed a "suspicious-looking guy" to a place that turned out to be [[Team Rocket Hideout|Team Rocket's secret hideout]]. There, he released several Pokémon imprisoned by Team Rocket and had his first encounter with the leader of the organization, [[Giovanni]].
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} arrive in Celadon City in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' so that Ash can challenge the Gym Leader, Erika. She initially refuses to battle him due to the fact that he offended her by insulting her perfume, so Ash sneaks into the [[Celadon Gym]] disguised as a girl and answering to the name "[[Ashley]]". When Team Rocket's interference causes a fire to start inside the Gym, Erika's {{p|Gloom}} is trapped inside. Ash saves the Pokémon despite its stench, and Erika awards him the Rainbow Badge for his courage.


In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', it is mentioned that Celadon City has a [[Celadon University|university]], where the episode's [[Nurse Joy]] studied Pokémon psychology. In [[EP163|a later episode]] it is revealed that {{an|Professor Oak}} used to teach there, and [[Foster]] was one of his top students.
===Pokémon Generations===
The [[Celadon Game Corner]] briefly appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]'', showing the [[International Police]] raiding the building and arresting several members of Team Rocket.

Celadon City has appeared in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'', ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant!]]'', ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', ''[[PS019|Blame It On Eevee]]'' and ''[[PS020|Meanwhile... Vileplume!]]'' in the {{adv|Red, Green & Blue chapter}} of ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]''.
[[File:Celadon City Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Celadon City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Like in the anime, Celadon City has a [[Celadon University|university]], at which Erika teaches in addition to her duties as Gym Leader.


It first appeared when {{adv|Green}} was trying to sell more counterfeit [[Accessory|Accessories]] by the riverside. When she tried to escape on her stolen [[Blasty|Wartortle]] she was stopped in her tracks by {{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Snorlax}}. She managed to steal Red's [[Badge]]s, which Red later found out at the Celadon Hotel next to the [[Pokémon Center]].
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Celadon City first appeared from ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' to ''[[PS020|Meanwhile...Vileplume!]]''. After being fooled into buying a lot of expensive [[item]]s, all of which later turned out to be fake, from {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Red}} encountered her again trying to sell her items to the people of Celadon. Upon noticing Red, she tried to get away with her [[Blasty|Wartortle]], but was stopped by Red and his [[Snor]]lax. When Red later went to spend night at the Celadon Hotel, he was enraged to find out that Green had secretly stolen his {{badge|Boulder|Boulder}} and {{badge|Cascade}}s.


On the outskirts of town, Red and {{adv|Blue}} crashed into each other, in the process switching Pokémon by accident. The Pokémon were reunited with their owners three days later after finding an [[Vee|Eevee]] that can change between each of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]].
After having an encounter with [[Team Rocket]] and {{adv|Mew}}, and supposedly recovering his Badges, Red encountered [[Erika]], the Celadon City Gym Leader. She offered to accept Red's challenge for a battle if he caught her an {{p|Eevee}}. With the help of {{adv|Bill}}, Red soon found an [[Vee|Eevee]], but it turned out to be a modified Eevee, capable of changing into [[Eeveelution|it evolutions]] and [[Devolution|back]]. After catching the Eevee, Red learned from Erika that the Eevee had been tested by Team Rocket, and she had wanted to test Red if he'd be a good ally in a fight against the evil organization.


Like in the anime, Celadon City has a university at which Erika teaches in addition to her duties as Gym Leader.
===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} ended up in Celadon City after having escaped from [[Lorelei]], and was greeted by Erika and several of her students. {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}}, sent to capture [[Pika]] by [[Agatha]], then appeared, disguised as Red. He knocked Erika out, overwhelmed Yellow, and tried to escape with Pika, but was stopped by the four "Gym Leaders of Justice". Agatha's {{p|Gastly}} then tried to kill Miles to silence him, but was stopped by {{adv|Blue}}. Afterwards, Blue and Yellow left to train together at {{rt|9|Kanto}}.
 
Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', Celadon City was attacked by an army of {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}, sent by Lorelei. While protecting her Gym, Erika found out that the [[Elite Four]] were after her Badge. After Yellow defeated [[Lance]] at [[Cerise Island]], the Pokémon army lost its strength.

===Pokémon Zensho===
Celadon City appeared in ''[[PZ05|Celadon City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} visited the city. Originally, he merely followed a pair of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s from [[Lavender Town]] in order to get a [[Silph Scope]], but after snatching one from the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], he noticed the Gym and decided to challenge it as well. During the Gym battle with Erika, {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmeleon}} accidentally set Erika's kimono on fire, but saved her by {{m|slash}}ing off the burning part. Seeing how well Satoshi had raised his Pokémon, Erika gave him a {{badge|Rainbow}}.

* Its English motto before [[Generation IV]] was "''The City of Rainbow Dreams''".
** However, a pair of grunts in the house near the restaurant remain even after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].
* Celadon City is one of two cities that is more populous than the largest city in its region, the other being [[Nimbasa City]].

** In the English version, the references to butsudan were removed from the text. Instead, they return the text "It's a sculpture of DIGLETT." in Generation I and "What is this? Oh, it's an incense burner!" in Generation II.
** These objects are absent from the [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] remakes of these games.

Celadon City (Japanese: タマムシシティ Tamamushi City) is located in central Kanto. It is the most populous city in Kanto and the eighth most populous in the Pokémon world, surpassing even Saffron City in the east. The city has two entrances, one from the east via Route 7, and one from the west via Route 16.

Celadon is the main place to spend money in Kanto, through the Celadon Department Store and the Celadon Game Corner. It is the home of the Celadon Condominiums, where residents of the city live, and the Celadon Hotel, where visitors can rest. Celadon is also home to Erika, the city's Gym Leader, and Eusine, the hunter who pursues Suicune.

Places of interest

Celadon Department Store

Main article: Celadon Department Store

Celadon's department store is the largest building in the city, as well as the largest shop in Kanto. It is located in the northwest corner of the city. The store has two sliding door entrances, and is six stories high, including a rooftop floor.

Celadon Condominiums

Main article: Celadon Condominiums

Celadon Condominiums (known as Celadon Mansion prior to Generation IV) is located next to the Pokémon Center.

In the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the player can find a Poké Ball containing an Eevee here. Game Freak has an office in this building, where the player can receive a diploma from the lead developer if they have completed their Pokédex.

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, this is where the player obtains the Tea, which is required to enter Saffron City. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player receives the Tea from Brock in front of the building.

Celadon Game Corner

Main article: Celadon Game Corner
 
Celadon Game Corner

The Celadon Game Corner is located in the southeast of the city. It was originally run by Team Rocket, being known as the Rocket Game Corner while under their management. The Team Rocket Hideout is located underneath it; the staircase to the base is revealed by pressing a switch hidden behind a poster.

In the Generation I to IV games, the Game Corner consists of two adjacent buildings: the Game Corner proper (the larger building on the west) and the Prize Corner (the smaller building on the east). The main building contains the casino itself, where the player can earn Coins; the Prize Corner is where the player can exchange Coins for prizes, including Pokémon, TMs, and other items. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the Game Corner is one building with two entrances; the space on the west side contains the arcade while the space on the east side is just a sitting area.

In Generation IV, there is a man in the Prize Corner building who can tell the player the type of their Pokémon's Hidden Power.

Team Rocket Hideout

Main article: Team Rocket Hideout

The Team Rocket Hideout is an underground four-floor-deep complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner. The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the Game Corner in Celadon City. In the Generation I, III, and VII games, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat Team Rocket.

Celadon Hotel

 
Ken Sugimori's concept art for a hotel that bears resemblance to a Pokémon Center, much like the Celadon Hotel.

The Celadon Hotel is a luxurious hotel building located in the southeastern part of the city. The player is not able to rent a room due to all the rooms being booked. The hotel's layout is remarkably similar to a Pokémon Center. The hotel is closed in Generation II and IV.

In Pokémon Red and Blue (but not Pokémon Yellow), there is an invisible PC in the hotel; it is speculated that this is an oversight that occurred due to the interior of the hotel being created by copying a Pokémon Center's layout, but the code that allows the player to activate the PC at that position was mistakenly not removed.

Move Tutors

The man who can only be accessed by Surf gives out TM41 (Softboiled) in Generation I. In Generation III, he instead offers to directly teach this move to certain Pokémon.

Move Type Gen I TM
Softboiled  Normal  TM41

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, a Tamer in the Pokémon Center will teach the player's Partner Pokémon exclusive moves.

Let's Go, Pikachu!
Move Type Cat.
Floaty Fall  Flying  Physical
Let's Go, Eevee!
Move Type Cat.
Glitzy Glow  Psychic  Special
Baddy Bad  Dark  Special

Fortune Teller

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, on the left side of the Pokémon Center is a Channeler called Madam Celadon with her Abra. For $10,000, Madam Celadon can influence the Nature of wild Pokémon they encounter for the rest of the day. Nature is determined with two questions; the first question determining the Nature's strength, and the second determining its weakness. The following chart describes the possible results.

Nature table
No change ↘ Which one will you thin out?
↓Attack

↑Speed
(Pink) 		Timid Hasty Jolly Naive Serious

Due to lack of breeding and Abilities, this is the only way to influence Natures in these games.

Celadon Gym

Main article: Celadon Gym

The Celadon Gym is the official Gym of Celadon City. It is based on Grass-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Erika. Trainers who defeat her receive the Rainbow Badge.

The Celadon Gym is a garden full of Trainers. It is impossible to reach Erika without fighting at least one other Trainer and using CutRBYGSCFRLGHGSS/Chop Down.PE In all versions and adaptations of Pokémon, Celadon Gym is consistently rendered as a greenhouse.

In the anime, Celadon Gym appeared in Pokémon Scent-Sation!. Attached to the Celadon Gym is a perfume shop, run by Erika herself. Ash wanted to challenge Erika to a Gym battle, but the workers at the Gym refused to allow his entry because he had earlier criticized a perfume shop, saying that all they do is turn men into zombies. They kicked him out of the shop for insulting them and when Ash found out that the Gym is where the perfume was manufactured, he was visibly shocked.

Demographics

Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow

The population of Celadon City is 81 (70, excluding the Team Rocket Grunt guarding the Rocket Hideout and everyone inside the Hideout).

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

The population of Celadon City is 63.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

The population of Celadon City is 82 (72, excluding the Team Rocket members in the Rocket Hideout), making it the largest city in Kanto, beating even its skyscraper-clustered neighbor Saffron City. Celadon City's large population is partly due to the Department store and the Team Rocket Hideout.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the population of Celadon City is 68.

Differences between generations

Between Generation I and III, there have being some little and unnoticeable changes to Celadon City. Mostly, there are only aesthetic changes between building designs. A fountain has been added to the western side of the city. The small pond in the center of the city now has small hints of pollution, with Grimer and Koffing appearing on rare occasions, as an allusion to the previous generation.

In Generation II, Celadon City has changed quite a bit. Some buildings have been removed and some have been added. There is a café located on the eastern side of town, and the Department Store has been moved to the far western side of town. Over the course of two years, the small pond has grown very polluted; only Grimer and Muk can be found there. Like Generation III, Generation IV has the added fountain to the western side of the city. The central pond has been extended southward with a bridge going across it.

In Pokémon Pinball, Celadon City appears on the Blue table. Catchable Pokémon include Vulpix, Meowth, Mankey, Scyther, Pinsir, Eevee, Porygon and Dratini.

In the anime

Main series

 
Celadon City in the anime

Celadon City first appeared in Pokémon Scent-sation!, where Ash and his friends visited it so that Ash could earn his fifth Badge at the Celadon Gym. However, due to him insulting the perfumes at a local store managed by Gym Leader Erika, the Gym Trainers refused to let Ash enter the Gym out of spite. Desperate to earn his Badge, Ash reluctantly teamed up with Team Rocket and snuck into the Gym disguised as a girl named "Ashley". Although his disguise was soon found out, Erika still accepted his challenge for a battle, which ended up being interrupted when Team Rocket set the Gym on fire. After the fire had been put out, Erika gave Ash a Rainbow Badge as thanks for saving her Gloom from the flames.

Ash and his friends briefly revisited Celadon City in The Punchy Pokémon after they just left it. Although it is not mentioned in the episode, according to official art for the P1 Grand Prix from the Game Freak website, the P1 Grand Prix takes place in the Celadon City Hall.

In Chikorita's Big Upset, it was mentioned that Celadon City has a university, where the episode's Nurse Joy studied Pokémon psychology. In Fossil Fools, it was revealed that Professor Oak used to teach there, and Foster was one of his top students.

In I Choose You!, which is set in an alternate continuity from the main series anime, Ash was shown challenging and defeating Erika at the Celadon City Gym, earning his third Badge from her.

In Suffering the Flings and Arrows!, Chloe decided to visit the Celadon Gym in order to attend a Pokémon flower arranging class held by Erika, so that her Eevee could meet Erika's Leafeon. Ash and Goh joined her on the trip as well, with Goh hoping to use it as an opportunity to help his Pinsir win back his Heracross's love. The class ended up being interrupted by Team Rocket, but Pinsir's efforts in battling the villainous trio and defending Heracross from them proved equally effective in it regaining Heracross's affection.

Pokémon Origins

Red was briefly seen visiting Celadon City in File 3: Giovanni. After defeating Erika and earning the Rainbow Badge, he followed a "suspicious-looking guy" to a place that turned out to be Team Rocket's secret hideout.

Like in the anime, Celadon City has a university, at which Erika teaches in addition to her duties as Gym Leader.

Red, Green & Blue arc

Celadon City first appeared from Wartortle Wars to Meanwhile...Vileplume!. After being fooled into buying a lot of expensive items, all of which later turned out to be fake, from Green, Red encountered her again trying to sell her items to the people of Celadon. Upon noticing Red, she tried to get away with her Wartortle, but was stopped by Red and his Snorlax. When Red later went to spend night at the Celadon Hotel, he was enraged to find out that Green had secretly stolen his Boulder and Cascade Badges.

After having an encounter with Team Rocket and Mew, and supposedly recovering his Badges, Red encountered Erika, the Celadon City Gym Leader. She offered to accept Red's challenge for a battle if he caught her an Eevee. With the help of Bill, Red soon found an Eevee, but it turned out to be a modified Eevee, capable of changing into it evolutions and back. After catching the Eevee, Red learned from Erika that the Eevee had been tested by Team Rocket, and she had wanted to test Red if he'd be a good ally in a fight against the evil organization.

Yellow arc

In Whacked by Marowak!, Yellow ended up in Celadon City after having escaped from Lorelei, and was greeted by Erika and several of her students. Super Nerd Miles, sent to capture Pika by Agatha, then appeared, disguised as Red. He knocked Erika out, overwhelmed Yellow, and tried to escape with Pika, but was stopped by the four "Gym Leaders of Justice". Agatha's Gastly then tried to kill Miles to silence him, but was stopped by Blue. Afterwards, Blue and Yellow left to train together at Route 9.

Starting from Karate Machop!, Celadon City was attacked by an army of Shellder and Cloyster, sent by Lorelei. While protecting her Gym, Erika found out that the Elite Four were after her Badge. After Yellow defeated Lance at Cerise Island, the Pokémon army lost its strength.

Pokémon Zensho

Celadon City appeared in Celadon City, where Satoshi visited the city. Originally, he merely followed a pair of Team Rocket Grunts from Lavender Town in order to get a Silph Scope, but after snatching one from the Team Rocket Hideout, he noticed the Gym and decided to challenge it as well. During the Gym battle with Erika, Satoshi's Charmeleon accidentally set Erika's kimono on fire, but saved her by slashing off the burning part. Seeing how well Satoshi had raised his Pokémon, Erika gave him a Rainbow Badge.
