Vermilion City is home to the "Lightning American" [[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the {{t|Electric}}-specialist [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]]. The people in the town are careful about pollution, as they are afraid that an infestation of {{p|Grimer}} could occur if the seas were ever polluted, as [[Celadon City]] suffers from this in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}. [[Wild Pokémon]] appear in the sea around the city.

Vermilion is also home to the {{pkmn|Fan Club Chairman}}. He can be found in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] house located just slightly north of the [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]]. By talking to him, the {{player}} can obtain a [[Bike Voucher|voucher]] for a free [[bicycle|bike]], the only way to obtain a bike since the price of {{PDollar}}1,000,000 is impossible to pay.

The [[Kanto]] chapter of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] is located in Vermilion. The [[Pokémon Fan Club]] is an organization spread throughout the Pokémon world, with at least one Club House in nearly every [[region]]. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon.

The Vermilion Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Vermilion City. Its [[Gym Leader]], [[Lt. Surge]], focuses on {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{badge|Thunder}}. The [[Vermilion Gym]] appears in all games set in the [[Kanto]] region, appearing much the same in each: the main room is filled with 15 trash cans, and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are scattered about this room. Beyond this room is another, guarded by electric doors in [[Generation I]], and an electric fence in [[Generation III]]. The only way to get in the final room in these [[generation]]s, where [[Lt. Surge]] is located, is to find two switches underneath the trash cans. If the first switch was found, but the {{player}} incorrectly guessed the second one, the traps would reset. In [[Generation II]], these traps are not turned on. After [[Lt. Surge]] is defeated, he will give the {{player}} the Thunder Badge, {{TM|34|Shock Wave}} or {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}} in [[Generation I]], and the ability to use {{m|Fly}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}}.

In one of the houses south and a little east of the [[Pokémon Center]] is a girl that wants to [[trade]] the player a {{p|Farfetch'd}} for a {{p|Pidgey}} (Japanese Blue) or {{p|Spearow}} (every other game). The Farfetch'd will be nicknamed "<sc>Ch'ding</sc>" ("<sc>Dux</sc>" in [[Generation I]]), and it will be holding a [[Leek|Stick]]. The [[Original Trainer|OT]] will be "<sc>Elyssa</sc>" and its [[Trainer ID number|ID]] will be 08810. The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as the one that the player traded.

Although the sprite and name of the owner are female, <sc>Ch'ding</sc>'s [[original Trainer]] data defines <sc>Elyssa</sc> as male. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this is undifferentiable from a female original Trainer, but if <sc>Ch'ding</sc> is [[trade]]d to {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} or transferred forward to [[Generation IV]] (via [[Pal Park]]), the OT name is shown colored blue.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], this house is occupied by a {{tc|Gentleman}} who owns a Farfetch'd, again nicknamed Dux like the girl from Generation I's Farfetch'd,<!--Without the all caps of earlier generations--> but he instead intends to catch Spearow himself.
In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee, a {{tc|Hiker}} in the Pokémon Center will trade an [[Alolan form]] {{p|Geodude}} for a Geodude from [[Kanto]]. This can be done repeatedly.

There's a notice in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}} near the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]] about a {{p|Snorlax|sleeping Pokémon}} that's blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}}, advising people wishing to go to [[Lavender Town]] to detour through the [[Rock Tunnel]] instead in the meantime.
