Viridian City's motto is "The Eternally Green Paradise."
'''Viridian City''' (Japanese: '''トキワシティ''' ''Tokiwa City'') is a small city located in western [[Kanto]]. It is home to the [[Viridian Gym]], which can only be challenged by the {{player}} once they have obtained the [[Badge]]s of the seven other [[Gyms]] of Kanto. In the Kanto-based {{pkmn|games}}, the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Giovanni]], the boss of [[Team Rocket]] and a {{type|Ground}} [[type expert|expert]]. After being defeated, he abandons the Gym and is replaced by {{ga|Blue}}, who has no specialty [[type]]. He is the Gym Leader during the events of the [[Johto]]-based games.


[[Viridian Forest]] lies in the northern passage between Viridian City and [[Pewter City]].
==Geography==
Viridian City is a small city with an [[list of game locations by population|average population]] and three exits. To the north is {{rt|2|Kanto}}, divided into two by [[Viridian Forest]] and leading to [[Pewter City]]. To the south is {{rt|1|Kanto}}, leading to [[Pallet Town]]. To the west is {{rt|22|Kanto}}, leading to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]].
 
Between the three-year gap of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] (as well as their remakes), the city has changed drastically with the [[Trainer House]] replacing the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], and becoming known as "the Gateway to Indigo Plateau", although the layout remains largely the same.
 
In [[Generation VII]] the city's layout is still faithful to the original, but a difference in elevation means that the secluded area on the left is only accessible by [[Secret Technique|chopping down]] the bush above. Compared to it's appearance in Generation III, Viridian City appears more similar to its {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} appearance, with dark gray asphalt as opposed to the lighter gray pavement. Additionally, every dirt path is no longer present, and the Gym has been moved further back into the trees, meaning it cannot be walked around as is the case in every other game.

==Points of interest==
===Viridian Gym===
{{main|Viridian Gym}}
The Viridian Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Viridian City. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat this Gym's Leader receive the {{Badge|Earth}}. The Gym is usually strewn with the same one-way [[spin tile]]s seen in the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], except in Generation II, where the floor is bare of any obstacles.
 
In [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, it is based on {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Giovanni]], the head of [[Team Rocket]]. The Gym is initially locked due to its Leader's absence and will not re-open until the player has collected the other seven [[Badge]]s.
 
In Generations II, IV, and VII, Team Rocket has disbanded and {{ga|Blue}} takes over as the Gym's Leader. Under Blue's direction, the Gym no longer concentrates on any particular [[type]].

===Trainers' School===
{{main|Pokémon academy}}
In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}} and {{gen|VII}}, this school is located in the center of Viridian. It is a place dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced Trainers. Before Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, it was referred to as the Pokémon Academy.
 
In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, this school has been replaced by the [[Trainer House]].

===Trainer House===
{{main|Trainer House}}
In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, the Trainer House replaces the Trainers' School in the center of Viridian. The first floor is occupied by a handful of people, while the basement is primarily dedicated to a battlefield. In the basement, the {{player}} may battle other Trainers once a day.
 
In Generation II, the opposing {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the basement will be the last person the player has used [[Mystery Gift]] with, with whatever [[party]] they had when Mystery Gift was used. If the player has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, the opposing Trainer will be {{ga|Cal}}.
 
In Generation IV, the player will initially only find {{tc|Ace Trainer}} {{ga|Cal}} in the basement. When the player meets another Trainer via the Pokéwalker and re-syncs the Pokéwalker back to their game, the other Trainer will also appear in the basement with their party. Up to 10 additional Trainers may be encountered in this way. Any Pokémon in a Trainer's party above level 50 will have their level reduced to 50. Battles here give no [[experience]] or money, but the player will receive 1 [[Battle Point|BP]] for each victory.

===Old Man===
{{main|Old man (Kanto)}}
In Generation I and III, a grumpy old man blocks the player from progressing to {{rt|2|Kanto}} until he has had his daily coffee (in the Japanese script he is drunk and has passed out), preventing players from wandering past Viridian City until they've delivered [[Parcel|Oak's Parcel]] to [[Professor Oak]]. When returning to the area after delivering Oak's Parcel, he can teach the player how to catch a Pokémon. He will also give the player a [[Teachy TV]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which instructs the player about battling and catching Pokémon through a variety of programs.
 
He makes an appearance in the same spot in Generation II and IV sequels, declaring that he has had his espresso and that he was once an expert at catching Pokémon, referencing the events three years prior.
 
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], his role is instead served by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}.

===TM man/Move Tutor===
There is a man on the west side of Viridian City that requires {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Surf}} to access, or [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
 
In Generation I, II, and IV, he gives the player a [[TM]] for {{m|Dream Eater}}. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, he gives the player the TM for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. In [[Generation III]], he is a [[Move Tutor]] for Dream Eater.

==Differences between generations==
===Generations I, III, and VII===
Viridian City's layout is consistent between Generations I, III, and VII. There are no notable differences between the Viridian of Generations I, III, or VII, aside from the larger houses in {{gen|III}}, the 3D graphics in {{gen|VII}}, and some slight repositioning. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to modern standards. Most of the town's residents remain the same, and will give the player the same information. Items that are given out, however, are different from generation to generation.
 
In Generation III, the Potion behind the Cut tree is no longer hidden.
 
In Generation VII, the TM-giving man in the southwest part of town can no longer be reached via the pond to his right and can only be accessed by using the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down.
 
===Generation II and IV===
The differences between the Generation II and IV and Generation I and III games are more noticeable. The [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] seen in Generation III has been replaced with the giant [[Trainer House]], and other buildings were added as well. Within the Trainer House in Generation II, Trainers will battle either {{ga|Cal}}, if the player has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, or the last player with whom they have used Mystery Gift. In Generation IV, the player may either battle Cal or up to 10 different Trainers met on the Pokéwalker.
 
==Slogan==
===Generations I, III and VII===
'''''The Eternally Green Paradise''''' (Japanese: '''トキワは　みどり　えいえんのいろ''' ''Tokiwa is the color of green eternity.'')
 
===Generation IV===
'''''The City of Evergreen''''' (Japanese: '''えいえんなる　みどりの　まち''' ''The eternally green town.'')

==Development==
===Generation II===
Although Kanto was planned to return in Gold and Silver since 1997, the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]] reveals that at the time, Kanto was a tiny reconstruction of its original map, as opposed to being far more complete in the final. This included a heavily condensed Viridian City, with the Route 22 Gate leading westwards being the only distinct piece of geography to survive the transition.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pinball===
[[File:Pinball Blue Viridian City.png|thumb|right]]
In {{g|Pinball}}, Viridian City appears on the Blue table; catchable Pokémon include {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Tentacool}}.
 
==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Viridian City anime.png|thumb|220px|Viridian City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Viridian City was first seen briefly at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. It was then visited in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', when [[Ash Ketchum]] took his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} to the [[Pokémon Center]] here. When entering the town, Ash was stopped by Viridian City's [[Officer Jenny]], who found him suspicious, due to the fact he was carrying Pikachu in his arms and not a [[Poké Ball]]. While staying overnight at the Pokémon Center, Ash had his first encounter with the [[Team Rocket trio]]: [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Ash and Pikachu foiled their plot to steal all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the Pokémon Center, thus beginning Team Rocket's obsession with capturing Ash's Pikachu.
 
Ash and {{ashfr}} arrived in Viridian City in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', but quickly left for the [[Cerulean Gym]] after they noticed that [[Misty's Horsea]] looked unwell while it was swimming in a local fountain.
 
They returned to Viridian in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', and noticed that the Pokémon Center that had exploded at the end of ''Pokémon Emergency!'' has been rebuilt. They found the [[Viridian Gym]], but before Ash could to fight the [[Gym Leader]], {{Gary}} arrived and {{pkmn|battle}}d {{an|Giovanni}} first. After {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was carried off by a {{p|Fearow}}, Ash and his friends went looking for it, only to find it inside the Gym. They then noticed that Gary and his [[Gary's cheerleaders|entourage]] were badly injured due to {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s attacks. Giovanni is forced to leave the Gym following an emergency call, and he puts Jessie, James and Meowth in charge. After Ash fought and won a difficult and dangerous battle with Team Rocket, the Gym collapsed due to Togepi blowing up the stands. Ash picked up the {{badge|Earth}} Team Rocket lost. Afterwards, Ash and his friends left.
 
After the [[Silver Conference]], Viridian was once again revisited, in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', only some things had changed. Most notably, the [[Nurse Joy]] who worked at the Viridian Center in ''Pokémon Emergency!'' had retired and {{an|Misty}}'s [[Bicycle|bike]] had been fixed. After a battle with Team Rocket, as well as [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|a trio of hired thugs]], they left Viridian City.
 
Ash later passed through Viridian on his way home in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', after the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Visiting the site of the rebuilt Viridian Gym, circumstances ended up bringing him to the battlefield for a friendly one-on-one challenge with the temporary Gym Leader, [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] member [[Agatha]]. Ash also met [[Scott]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} from him, becoming interested enough to challenge it.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Viridian City PO.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Viridian City first appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} stopped by the local Pokémon Center to heal his {{p|Charmander}}, after having lost a battle against his [[rival]], {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. He also made a call to [[Professor Oak]] from there before departing to [[Pewter City]].
 
Viridian City appeared again in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', where Red returned there in order to challenge the local Gym Leader, only to find out that not only had Blue already done so, but that the Gym Leader was none other than [[Giovanni]], the Boss of [[Team Rocket]]. Enraged of seeing Giovanni as a Gym Leader, Red challenged him to a battle, not as a Gym Leader, but as the enemy of all Pokémon. Using his specially trained {{p|Rhyhorn}}, Giovanni defeated most of Red's Pokémon with ease, but soon noticed himself getting excited  of the battle. When Red sent out his {{TP|Red|Charizard}} to face Giovanni's last Pokémon, {{p|Rhydon}}, Giovanni finally remembered how he had once been like Red, a child enjoying Pokémon battles simply for the fun and excitement of it. Even though Red eventually won the battle, he initially refused to take the Earth Badge, saying he didn't want it from the Boss of Team Rocket. Impressed of Red's attitude, Giovanni then informed {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|his minions}} that Team Rocket would now be disbanded. After this, Red accepted Giovanni's Badge, and departed Viridian City for Indigo Plateau. Reminded of his past, Giovanni decided to find a new path for himself and his Pokémon, leaving behind his positions as Viridian City's Gym Leader and the Boss of Team Rocket.
 
===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Viridian City PG.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Viridian City appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]''. The [[International Police]] raided the Viridian Gym in search of Giovanni, but failed to find him. Giovanni was then seen overlooking Viridian City as he walked away, vowing that Team Rocket would never fall.
{{-}}
 
==In the manga==
[[File:Viridian City EToP.png|thumb|left|230px|Viridian City in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Viridian City appeared in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]'', where {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} caught his runaway {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} there after it had fled from him on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Despite Pikachu still being [[Obedience|disobedient]] towards Ash and frequently {{m|Thunder Shock}}ing him, he boasted that since Pikachu were hard to tame, he already had {{Gary}} beat without even trying. Gary, however, soon showed up himself, taunting Ash and showing him that he already had a full [[party|team]] of six Pokémon, while Ash only had his disobedient Pikachu.
 
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Viridian City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Viridian City first appeared in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Professor Oak}} were forced to chase some of the Pokémon that Red had accidentally set free from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] all the way to [[Pallet Town]]'s neighbor city, including a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which the two chased to the abandoned [[Viridian Gym]]. After Red had helped Bulbasaur to defeat a wild {{p|Machoke}} attacking them, Professor Oak chose to give Bulbasaur to Red, along with a [[Pokédex]].
 
Viridian City made a brief appearance in ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'', where local citizens were asking questions about the missing [[Gym Leader]].
 
Red revisited Viridian City in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini!]]'' after helping a {{adv|Yellow|young girl}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. Upon hearing rumors about the missing "invincible" Gym Leader, Red decided to check out the Viridian Gym again. At the Gym, he met {{adv|Giovanni}}, learning that not only was he the Viridian City Gym Leader, but also the leader of [[Team Rocket]]. Giovanni then challenged Red to a battle, making a bet with him that should Red lose, he'd come to serve him as his right-hand man. During the battle, Giovanni's {{p|Nidoking}}'s {{m|Earthquake}} caused the Viridian Gym to collapse into ruins. Eventually Red emerged victorious with his [[Pika]] defeating Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}} and knocking the Gym Leader himself unconscious as well.
 
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]'', Red participated in [[Pokémon Association]]'s Gym Leader test for the new Viridian Gym Leader at the reconstructed Viridian Gym. Although he passed the test with flying colors, Red had to turn down the offer, as he had not yet completely recovered from the frostbites he received after being frozen by [[Lorelei]] in the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}. As such, {{adv|Blue}} was appointed as the new Gym Leader instead, after he impressed the Pokémon Association by stopping and {{pkmn2|Caught|capturing}} a group of rampaging [[wild Pokémon]].
 
===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} arrived in Viridian City to meet Blue at the Gym, but only found his hologram, set there in case for a challenger coming while he was not present. An automated system then brought out Blue's Pokémon, which, even without their Trainer giving them commands, easily defeated Yellow's [[Chuchu]] in a battle. {{adv|Silver}} soon arrived at the site as well, looking for his roots. Unexpectedly, the two were attacked by [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] of Team Rocket, who revealed that Silver was actually Giovanni's long-lost son. This revelation shocked Silver so much that the two Team Rocket members had no trouble in knocking him out and taking him to the [[Team Rocket airship]], with Yellow giving chase.
 
===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Viridian City Zensho.png|thumb|left|250px|Viridian City in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
Viridian City first appeared in ''[[PZ02|Pewter City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} tried to enter the local [[Gym]], only for a {{tc|Camper}} to tell him the Gym was closed. Following the Camper's advice, Satoshi then headed to Viridian Forest in order to reach the nearest city with an open Gym.
 
After earning seven [[Badge]]s, Satoshi returned to Viridian City in ''[[PZ09|Viridian City]]''. Upon entering the Gym, he was surprised to learn that the Gym Leader was actually [[Giovanni]]. Satoshi eventually won the Gym battle thanks to his {{zensho|Satoshi's Charizard|Charizard}} and gave the Giovanni a package that [[Mr. Fuji]] had given to him prior to him coming to Viridian City, which was revealed to contain the horn of Giovanni's deceased Nidoking. Following this, Giovanni rewarded Satoshi with an {{badge|Earth}}.

==Trivia==
* An {{pkmn|anime}} song {{so|Viridian City|of the same name}} is centered on its status as the location of the final [[Gym]] in [[Kanto]].
* Viridian City is the only first city or town after the [[hometown]] that has a Gym, although the Gym is closed until the player has earned seven [[Badge]]s.
* This city is [[List of typos|misspelled]] as "Virdian City" in {{an|Giovanni}}'s character profile in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]].
* In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, and their remakes, a Viridian City [[Poké Mart]] employee on {{rt|1|Kanto}} gives a [[Potion]] to the player as a free sample.
** In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, this Poké Mart does not actually sell Potions even though the sample is given to the player, as noted by a customer saying that Potions are out of stock. This changed in {{game|Yellow}}, where the customer says that Potions are finally in stock.
** In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the customer simply says that he needs to buy Potions and explains that they heal Pokémon, instead of commenting about the stock like in previous games. This is a rare instance of Let's Go! dialogue that originated in the Generation III games instead of the Generation I games.
* The English manuals of Pokémon Red and Blue contain the correct list of items sold in this Poké Mart, but this was not updated in the manual of Pokémon Yellow, which still does not include Potion. However, those lists of Poké Mart items were added in the localization; they are not found in the respective Japanese manuals.
