===Volcano===
There is a volcano on Cinnabar Island which gives it its name. In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[remake]]s, no volcano is visible on the island, and it cannot be accessed. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano is a prominent feature of the island, and is where the Cinnabar Gym is located. In [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, the volcano has 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}}.

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. 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]].

Cinnabar Island has changed dramatically between [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}} as the city has been totally replaced by a large erupted volcano, removing everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]]. After the eruption, the [[Gym]] was relocated to the [[Seafoam Islands]]. {{ga|Blue}} can be first found at Cinnabar Island, because he was in a bad mood and decided to take a stroll there. In [[Generation III]], there are a few changes with the visual design, as the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} and [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] are slightly larger along with more sandy beach areas. The first and last questions in the Cinnabar Gym have also been changed slightly for clarification. In [[Generation IV]], the island stays much the same as [[Generation II]], although the volcano is now climbable by {{m|Rock Climb}}.

In Generation VII, the eastern slope of the volcano is visible close to the Lab and Pokémon Mansion, but is not accessible.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* It was long believed that Cinnabar Island once was the tip of a {{wp|stratovolcano}} or a {{wp|shield volcano}} since no mountain was visible on the island for the first three [[generation]]s. This was changed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where a mountainous stratovolcano is actually there and can be reached by using {{m|Rock Climb}}, indicating that the lack of diverse scenery in the past games was the reason for no mountain being there. However, all map artworks throughout the generations have shown the volcano to be there.
* Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as the [[old man glitch]], due to programming oversights on the island's coast. There is also {{DL|List of glitches (Generation I)|Overworld sprite misplacement|a trick to see a man on the roof}} of the [[Cinnabar Gym|Gym]]. However, both of these glitches were fixed in some regional versions.

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