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}}.

After getting 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 [[summary]]; 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.

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 inside of Gold's [[Level Ball]].

* 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}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} 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 SecretPotion{{sup/4|DPPt}}/[[Secret Medicine]]{{sup/8|BDSP}}. The item's description mentions that it was dispensed by the pharmacy in Cianwood City.

* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Cianwood City is revealed to be [[Tomma]]'s hometown.
