Vermilion City (Japanese: クチバシティ Kuchiba City) is a city in Kanto.

Situated near a sea inlet to the south, it serves as a popular sea port for ships such as the S.S. Anne. Vermilion Harbor is a home port for many ships. The S.S. Anne sails around the world and returns to Vermilion once a year. The S.S. Aqua sails from Olivine City in Johto to Vermilion Harbor. The Seagallop Ferries sail regularly to all of the Sevii Islands. Aside from the harbor, the other exits to the city are Route 11 and Diglett's Cave to the east. North of the city is Route 6.

Slogan

The Port of Exquisite Sunsets (Japanese, Generations I-III, VII: クチバはオレンジ夕焼けの Kuchiba is the color of orange sunsets.; Generation IV: ゆうやけいろのみなとまち The sunset-colored port town.)

Places of interest

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

Vermilion is also home to the Fan Club Chairman. He can be found in the Pokémon Fan Club house located just slightly north of the Gym. By talking to him, the player can obtain a voucher for a free bike, the only way to obtain a bike since the price of $1,000,000 is impossible to pay.

A truck present in the Generation I and III games has also been the source of rumors.

Pokémon Fan Club
All Pokémon Fans Welcome!

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.

By talking to the Fan Club Chairman he will start a long talk with the player. He talks about his two favorite Pokémon, Rapidash and Fearow at length and then gives the player a voucher to get a bicycle. In Pokémon Yellow he got a new hobby - taking Pokémon photos. The big photos of his Rapidash and Fearow can be seen on the walls of the clubhouse. He appears again in Generation II and its Generation IV remakes in the same place. Again, he talks about his Rapidash and gives the player a Rare Candy for listening to his story.

Vermilion Gym

Main article: Vermilion Gym
Vermilion Gym

The Vermilion Gym is the official Gym of Vermilion City. Its Gym Leader, Lt. Surge, focuses on Electric-type Pokémon. Trainers who defeat him receive the Thunder Badge. 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 Trainers 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 generations, 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, TM34 (Shock Wave) or TM24 (Thunderbolt) in Generation I, and the ability to use Fly outside of battle.

Construction site

In the northeastern part of the city, there is an old man whose Machop is preparing a plot of land for construction of a building. They still have not finished three years after he started in Generation I, as he does not have enough money to begin building. This man's Machop can cause a glitch in Generation II. In Generation IV, the construction site consumes most of the north-eastern side of the city, playing a slightly bigger role in the game; there are many breakable rocks surrounding the building site that conceal many hidden items such as Shards, Heart Scales, and other valuable items.

In-game trade

In one of the houses south and a little east of the Pokémon Center is a girl that wants to trade the player a Farfetch'd for a Spearow. The Farfetch'd will be nicknamed "Ch'ding" ("Dux" in Generation I), and it will be holding a Stick. The OT will be "Elyssa" and its 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, Ch'ding's original Trainer data defines Elyssa as male. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this is undifferentiable from a female original Trainer, but if Ch'ding is traded to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald or transferred forward to Generation V (via Pal Park and Poké Transporter), the OT name is shown colored blue.

Fishing Brother

In Generations I and III, a man known as the Fishing Guru can be found in Vermilion City who gives away an Old Rod to the player. Later (in Generations II and IV), he is known as the Fishing Dude and claims to be the eldest of the Fishing Brothers.

Sleeping Pokémon notice

There's a notice in Generations I and III near the entrance to Diglett's Cave about a sleeping Pokémon that's blocking Route 12, advising people wishing to go to Lavender Town to detour through the Rock Tunnel instead in the meantime.

Demographics

Pokémon Red and Blue

In Pokémon Red and Blue, the population of Vermilion City is 25 (not including the passengers on the S.S. Anne).

Pokémon Yellow

In Pokémon Yellow, the population of Vermilion City has increased to 26 (not including the passengers on the S.S. Anne). This is because Officer Jenny has been added.

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the population of Vermilion City is 30. The increase in population is possibly due to the addition of the harbor building.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Vermilion City has a population of 29 (not including the passengers on the S.S. Anne).

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the population of Vermilion City is 34; the population has increased by five since Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, possibly due to the addition of the harbor building.

Differences among generations

Vermilion Port in Generation IV

Much has changed from Generation I to Generation III. Most of the city is now covered in grass and sandy patches along the shoreline. The construction site has grown, while the Pokémon Fan Club has been redesigned and expanded. The S.S. Anne's port has also had an archway added to the entrance. In Generation II nothing major has changed, though the city has extended into Route 11 near Diglett's Cave and the Vermilion City port has been redesigned into a building, where the S.S. Aqua transports passengers to and from Olivine City in Johto. Also, Snorlax was also relocated from Route 12 to the entrance to Diglett's Cave. To move it, Trainers had to use a Pokégear tuned to the PokéFlute Channel, as the Poké Flute did not exist in the Generation II games. In Generation IV, the Diglett's Cave is pushed back to Route 11.

In the spin-off games

In Pokémon Pinball

In Pokémon Pinball, Vermilion City makes two appearances: the Seaside (Red table) and the Streets (Blue table).

In the Red table, called "Vermilion City Seaside", catchable Pokémon include: Pidgey, Ekans, Oddish, Farfetch'd, Shellder and Krabby.

In the Blue table, called "Vermilion City Streets", catchable Pokémon include: Sandshrew, Farfetch'd, Shellder, Drowzee, Krabby and Pinsir.

In Pokémon Origins

Although Vermilion City was never properly seen in Pokémon Origins, Red recalled having visited it prior to the events of File 2: Cubone. During his visit, he obtained the HM for Cut from the captain of S.S. Anne and earned the Thunder Badge by defeating Lt. Surge at the Vermilion Gym.

Vermilion City in Pokémon Adventures

Vermilion is split into two main areas; the center city and the port. The Kanto Pokémon Fan Club headquarters is located in the center city and the S.S. Anne arrives once in a month in the port. Some of the citizens are Pokéfans and Sailors.

Red, Green & Blue arc

The first visit to Vermilion covers the rounds from Danger: High Voltorb to Buzz Off, Electabuzz!. Here, Red saves the citizens' Pokémon kidnapped by Lt. Surge.

Yellow arc

The Vermilion Harbor is the setting of six rounds beginning with Ekans the Ecstasy through to Breath of Dragonair Part 3. In these chapters, the S.S. Anne sinks to the bottom of the harbor due to the actions of the Team Rocket Elite Trio. Yellow is also told the legend of the harbor by the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman: apparently, four evolutionary stones lie at the bottom of the harbor and never lose their powers of starting a Pokémon's evolution.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Red and Blue flew to Vermilion to board the Seagallop for One Island. The Seagallop returned to Vermilion carrying Blue, Green, and her parents, Lorelei, Ultima, and Professor Oak, at the same time that a Team Rocket airship, that Red was trying to control, was about to crash somewhere in Vermilion. Although Red was able to prevent Forretress aboard the airship from exploding, the aircraft still nearly crash-landed, but thankfully, Mew was able to lower it safely to the ground.

Trivia

  • 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 vermilion (クチバ kuchiba, "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange while crimson (グレン guren, "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral 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 Pokémon Yellow (including the Virtual Console release).
