* Vermilion City and [[Cinnabar Island]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{wp|vermilion}} ({{j|{{jwp|朽葉|クチバ}}}} ''kuchiba'', "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange while {{wp|crimson}} ({{j|{{jwp|紅蓮|グレン}}}} ''guren'', "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red. 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). | * Vermilion City and [[Cinnabar Island]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{wp|vermilion}} ({{j|{{jwp|朽葉|クチバ}}}} ''kuchiba'', "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange while {{wp|crimson}} ({{j|{{jwp|紅蓮|グレン}}}} ''guren'', "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red.

* If the player speaks to the sailors at the far end of the dock in Vermilion Harbor while playing a pirated ROM of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the sailor will end his dialogue with the words "by the way: if you like this game, buy it or die." Most emulator-compatible ROMs of the game are designed to run as if they were on a legitimate cartridge, meaning that this message is typically viewable only through the use of cheats. | |||
