Cianwood City: Difference between revisions

'''Cianwood City''' (Japanese: '''タンバシティ''' ''Tanba City'') is located on the far western edge of [[Johto]], apparently on a totally different landmass than the rest of the [[region]]. Due to Cianwood City being at a dead end location in the Johto region, it was not a popular destination. However, in [[Generation IV]] it became a notable destination due to the addition of the {{safari|Johto}} located to the west of the city.

'''Kirk''' (Japanese: '''セイジ''' ''Seiji''), known as '''Mania''' (Japanese: '''マニア''' ''Mania'') in [[Generation II]], is a {{tc|Poké Maniac|PokéManiac}} who lives in the house directly south from the Gym. Before the {{player}} meets him, he is bullied by {{ga|Silver}} into giving up his rare Pokémon—{{p|Sneasel}}. To prevent Silver from coming back to steal any more Pokémon, Kirk wants to give the player his {{p|Shuckle}}, nicknamed '''Shuckie''' (Japanese: '''ネッシー''' ''Nessie''), for safekeeping. This Shuckle has Kirk's [[Trainer ID number]] and will act like an {{pkmn2|outsider}} in {{pkmn|battle}}.

'''Cianwood City Pharmacy''' (Japanese: '''タンバくすりや''' ''Tanba Pharmacy'') is a small pharmacy that is over 500 years old. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. [[Jasmine]] will ask the {{player}} to fetch [[Amphy|her Ampharos]] some [[Secret Potion|medicine]] from there.

After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that [[Potion]]s and [[Full Heal]]s are in stock. If the player goes to Cianwood City before speaking with Jasmine at the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]], Potions and Full Heals will be in stock and the SecretPotion will be unavailable.

In the very north of the city, there is a small house called the '''[[Poké Seer]]''' (Japanese: '''おみとおし''' ''seer'') with an elderly woman who, in {{game|Crystal}}, can tell where and when a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s party has been caught. She will also comment about how much Pokémon's level has grown from when it was caught.

 

Unlike in the [[Generation III]] and later games, the player is unable to find out where they caught their Pokémon by looking at their Pokémon's [[Party|summary screen]]; hence, the Poké Seer is the only way the player can tell where they caught their Pokémon. If a Pokémon traded from another game or an in-game traded Pokémon is shown to her, she will not be able to identify any details about it.

Cianwood City appeared in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', where {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Janina]] traveled there to get [[Secret Potion|medicine]] for [[Jasmine]]'s sick [[Amphy|Ampharos]]. While Janina immediately headed back to [[Olivine City]] along with the medicine, Ash and his friends stayed behind for Ash's Gym {{pkmn|battle}} at the [[Cianwood Gym|local Gym]]. They soon met the [[Gym Leader]], [[Chuck]], who agreed to have a Gym battle with Ash. The battle ended in Ash's victory, earning him the {{badge|Storm}}. After receiving word from Janina that the medicine had been successfully delivered to Jasmine, Ash and his friends headed off to the [[Whirl Islands]].

[[Darren]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who participated in the [[Silver Conference]], is from Cianwood City. {{OBP|Tokio|JN032}} is from Cianwood City as well.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Cianwood City appeared in ''[[PS124|Scrappy Skarmory]]'', where [[Chuck]] was seen waiting for the visit of his old rival [[Walker]]. When Walker was running late, Chuck saw evidence that he had been attacked on his way to Cianwood. However, Walker was next seen to be unhurt, and joined Chuck in an impromptu battle against his attacker: {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}. They were ultimately unable to defeat and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the [[Legendary Pokémon]], which then fled.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===

{{GnB|Gold}} and {{GnB|Chris}} traveled to Cianwood City in ''[[GB21|The Secret Of The Fighting Type Pokémon]]'' in order to get the [[Secret Potion|medicine]] for [[Jasmine]]'s [[Amphy|Ampharos]]. They encountered the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Chuck]], who agreed to give them the last pack of the medicine if Gold served as a temporary Gym Leader while he recovered from the injuries he had just received in an accident. After Gold had successfully defeated {{GnB|Black}} in a Gym battle, Chuck gave him the medicine, which he and Chris sent to Olivine City.

In ''[[GB22|Farewell To Pikachu?!]]'', [[Eusine]] arrived to take away [[Gold's Pikachu]], which he had sent back in time with [[Bill]]'s [[Time Capsule]]. Gold refused to hand Pikachu to him, and the two had a battle to determine who would get to keep it, with Gold eventually winning. After this, however, Black unsealed the monstrous [[Black Tyranitar]] in an attempt to catch it, causing it to go on a rampage. It took the combined efforts of the citizens of Olivine and Cianwood City, as well as Gold and Black, to stop the monster's rampage and reseal it.

{{-}}

* Cianwood was the first {{type|Fighting}} [[Gym]] where the player received an official [[Badge|League Badge]], due to [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]] losing its official status before the events of [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}.

* {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} have a reference to Cianwood City. When meeting up with [[Cynthia]] after earning the {{badge|Cobble|Cobble}} and {{badge|Fen}}s, she will give the player a [[Secret Potion|SecretPotion]]. The SecretPotion's description mentions that it was dispensed by the pharmacy in Cianwood City.

* In [[Generation IV]], if the player has only one Pokémon in their party and PC boxes, a trainer in the Pokémon Center will give the player a {{p|Tentacool}}. This event can be repeated so long as the player only has one Pokémon. This is likely to prevent the player from having no means of leaving Cianwood City, thus soft-locking the game.
