The lone Bike Shop in [[Johto]] is located in an isolated neighborhood in east Goldenrod, where business doesn't seem to be doing very good. The owner of the shop moved his business from [[Cerulean City]] to Goldenrod between Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}} and Generation {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}.
The lone bicycle shop in [[Johto]] is located in an isolated neighborhood in east Goldenrod, where business doesn't seem to be doing very good. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the owner of the shop has moved his business from [[Cerulean City]] to Goldenrod, whereas in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Goldenrod Bike Shop is merely a new branch of the Bike Shop located in Cerulean City.


The player obtains their [[Bicycle]] from this shop for free. The owner of the store first simply loans the player the Bicycle, but after his number of customers drastically increases, he calls the {{player}} on the [[Pokégear]] to let the player know that he/she can keep it.

There are two games to play: the slot machines and [[Card flip]]. One to three coins can be put in the [[slot machine]] each play. One Coin will only count the center row across, two Coins will count all three rows across, and three Coins will count all three rows across as well as both diagonals. The reels stop spinning when the A button is pressed. The [[Card flip]] minigame is exclusive to [[Generation II]]. The {{player}} can pick either a card or a group of cards, making it much like {{wp|roulette}}. The deck has 24 cards, 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 a single card, by a single column, by a single row, by a pair of columns, or by a pair of rows. In non-Japanese versions of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, these games are replaced by the [[Voltorb Flip]] minigame.

The Goldenrod Radio Tower, located at the west end of the main east-west path through the city, is the source of all [[Pokégear]] broadcasts in [[Johto]]. An antenna on top of the tower transmits three radio programs daily, with a fourth program being aired between 6 P.M. and 12 A.M. every night. The building has three studios spread over five floors. The Radio Tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] and [[Buena's Password]], a new radio show that debuted in {{game|Crystal}} and that returns in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, the station has two studios, located on the fourth and fifth floors. A third studio is added in Pokémon Crystal on the second floor. In every version, the tower has a welcome center, as well as a computer linked to [[Bill's PC]] and the {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s personal computer, on the first floor and a small café on the second floor. The technical operations of the tower are handled by way of a network of computers on the third and fourth floors. The manager of the tower has an office on the fifth floor.

For a short time in [[Generation II]] and its {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Generation IV remakes}}, the tower falls into the clutches of [[Team Rocket]], during which time none of the normal broadcasts are aired. Following the {{player}}'s collection of seven [[Badge|Gym Badges]], it is necessary to purge the Radio Tower of Team Rocket in order to continue the storyline as a man selling [[RageCandyBar]]s in [[Mahogany Town]] will prevent access to {{rt|44|Johto}}, the eastern path out of Mahogany, until the Radio Tower has been returned to normal.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The placement of the [[Global Terminal]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in Goldenrod City may have been inspired by the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] that replaced the regular [[Pokémon Center]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} in the Japanese version of {{v2|Crystal}}.

* The song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Goldenrod City]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|コガネシティ|Kogane Shiti}}) serves as the base for the song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Bicycle]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|じてんしゃ|Jitensha}}), since the latter is a sped up version of the former which also uses different instruments.

* Goldenrod's English motto in [[Generation II]] was "''The Festive City of Opulent Charm''".
* When the player arrives in the city after using the [[Magnet Train]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the guard states that the stress is to be placed on the letter "o". However, there are two "o"s in G'''o'''ldenr'''o'''d, and the guard does not state whether the stress is on the first "o" or the second.

* Although the localizations of {{game|Crystal}} restored the regular [[Pokémon Center]] due to the removal of the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], the [[Non-player character|NPCs]] in the Pokémon Center were altered to match those at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]].
** The [[Pokémon Center]] in {{game|Crystal}} also has an unused warp on the tile above the stairs that leads the player to the Administration Office of the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wliHo3OuBc video]). Furthermore, the entrance/exit mat has hidden toggles for triggering the [[GS Ball]] delivery that would be activated during an official [[Nintendo]] distribution due to the event being adapted for the localizations ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFyikZaCnW4 video]); this is the only instance in which a Pokémon Communication Center Nurse appears to the player on non-Japanese versions of Pokémon Crystal.
