The Pokémon Mansion is a decrepit, burned-down mansion on Cinnabar Island. It got its name because a famous Pokémon Researcher once lived there. The Pokémon Mansion has four different floors. Doors can be unlocked in the Mansion by pressing switches hidden in {{p|Mewtwo}} statues. To access the Cinnabar Island [[Gym]] in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, the main character has to enter the mansion and find the {{ka|Secret Key}} to unlock the door of the Gym. Many {{tc|burglar}}s come to the mansion, trying to steal valuable items that may have been lost in the wreckage, challenging the {{player}} to a battle when spotted. Amongst the rubble and wreckage is information that the scientists who once worked there obtained a {{p|Mew}} and impregnated it with the genetically altered {{p|Mewtwo}}, who destroyed the mansion in its escape.

The Cinnabar Lab, known as the Pokémon Lab prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], is a laboratory located on Cinnabar Island. It was founded by [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]] and appears in the Generation I games and their [[remake]]s. In Generations I and III, the west room of the Cinnabar Lab has two people who will offer to [[trade]] Pokémon. The old man will offer his {{p|Electrode}} for a {{p|Raichu}}, and the girl will want to trade her {{p|Tangela}} for a {{p|Venonat}}. In the center room, there is [[Move Tutor|a man]] who will teach {{m|Metronome}} once to one of the player's Pokémon; in Generation I, he gives away {{TM|35|Metronome}}. In the east room, there is a scientist who will revive the [[Fossil]]s the player obtained at [[Mt. Moon]] and from the [[Pewter City]] Museum and a person who will trade his {{p|Seel}} for a {{p|Ponyta}}. In [[Silph Co.]], there is a Pokémon Report stating that Cinnabar Lab created {{p|Porygon}}.

There is a volcano on Cinnabar Island which gives it its name. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], the volcano that appears on Cinnabar Island cannot be accessed. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano is a prominent feature of the island, and is where the Cinnabar Gym is located, split into two sections. One is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers, while the other is atop the volcano's crater. In [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, three years after the events of [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}}, the volcano erupted on the island, destroying everything, and only the [[Pokémon Center]] has been rebuilt. What appeared to be a rain-filled crater could also be seen in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the exterior of the volcano can be scaled with {{m|Rock Climb}}. When comparing the maps of [[generation]]s I/III and II/IV, it can be seen that the volcano originated where the Gym once stood. On the other hand however, the official Kanto artwork map for [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] depicts Cinnabar Island's volcano as being to the west of the Cinnabar Lab and Pokémon Mansion, on a new extension to the island not seen before.

The Cinnabar Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Cinnabar Island, it is based on {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Blaine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Volcano}}. The player is unable to enter the Gym at once; only when they obtain the {{ka|Secret Key}} from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} can they unlock the door to the Gym. The Cinnabar Gym is a high-tech affair featuring a series of sealed doors. Trivia questions about various Pokémon must be answered to unseal the doors. However, when the player fails to answer a trivia question correctly, a battle with either a Burglar or Super Nerd results, an alternative to unsealing the doors. In Generations II and IV, Blaine's original Gym on Cinnabar Island was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This forced him to relocate to a cave in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
